Book 20: Hymn 97

HYMN XCVII

1Here verily yesterday we let the Thunder-wielder drink his fill.
So in like manner, offer him the juice to day. Now range you.
by the Glorious One.
2Even the wolf, the savage beast that rends the sheep, follows the
path of his decrees.
So, India, graciously accepting this our praise, with wondrous.
thought come forth to us.
3What manly deed of vigour now remains that Indra hath not
done?
Who hath not heard his glorious title and his fame, the Vritra-
slayer from his birth?
