2 Thou who hast ever aided us kindly of old to win the spoil, 3 What now? As prompter of the poor thou helpest him who sheds the juice. 4 O Indra, help our chariot on, yea, Thunderer, though it lag behind: 5 Ho there! why sittest thou at case? Make thou my chariot to be first 6 Assist our car that seeks the prize. What can be easier for thee? 7 Indra, be firm: a fort art thou. To thine appointed place proceeds 8 Let not our portion be disgrace. Broad is the course, the prize is set, 9 This thing we wish. that thou mayst take thy fourth, thy sacrificial name. 10 Ekadyu hath exalted you, Immortals: both Goddesses and Gods hath he delighted.RV 69 (5) · Rig Veda · null
