Summary

The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 174 (1896)

Thou conqueredst, boundest many tribes for ever. Like castles thou hast crushed the godless races, and bowed the godless scorner's deadly weapon. 9. A Stormer thou hast made the stormy waters flow down, O Indra, like the running rivers. When o'er the flood thou broughtest them, O Hero, thou keptest Turvasa and Yadu safely. 10. Indra, mayst thou be ours in all occasions, protector of the men, most gentle-hearted, Giving us victory over all our rivals. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.

The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 174 (1896)

Thou stirredst, Blameless! billowy floods, and gavest his foe a prey to youthful Purukutsa. 3. With whom thou drivest troops whose lords are heroes, and bringest daylight now, much worshipped Indra, With them guard lion-like wasting active Agni to dwell in our tilled fields and in our homestead. 4. They through the greatness of thy spear, O Indra, shall, to thy praise, rest in this earthly station. To loose the floods, to seek, for kine, the battle, his Bays he mounted boldly seized the booty. 5. Indra, bear Kutsa, him in whom thou joyest: the dark-red horses of the Wind are docile.
