Forth, yea—sing strength to Indra, the chariot-leading. Even in close onset, the world-orderer, in encounter, in battles, Vṛtra-slayer—be mindful of us, our impeller. Let the bowstrings of the others snap upon their bows.
Rishi: RV-derived Indra hymn tradition (to be fixed by RV parallel).
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (to be confirmed against RV parallel; the cadence is shorter and more charm-like in the closing pāda)
