The Hymns of the Rigveda/Book 8/Hymn 99

1. GREAT, verily, is Indra's might. I have beheld, and hither comes
     Thy bounty, Dasyave-vrka!
2. A hundred oxen white of hue are shining like the stars in heaven,
     So tall, they seem to prop the sky.
3. Bamboos a hundred, a hundred dogs, a hundred skins of beasts well-tanned,
     A hundred tufts of Balbaja, four hundred red-hued mares are mine.
4. Blest by the Gods, Kinvayanas! be ye who spread through life on life:
     Like horses have ye stridden forth.
5. Then men extolled the team of seven not yet full-grown, its fame is great.
     The dark mares rushed along the paths, so that no eye could follow them.
