HYMN CXXXVIII

In praise of Indra 1. Indra, great in his power and might and, like Parjanya, rich in    rain,   Is magnified by Vatsa’s lauds, 2. When the priests, strengthening the Son of holy Law, present    their gifts,   Singers with Order’s hymn of praise. 3. Since Kanvas with their lauds have made Indra complete the    sacrifice,   Words are their own appropriate arms.
