18529The Hymns of the Rigveda, Book 9 — Hymn 45Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. FLOW, thou who viewest men, to give delight, to entertain the Gods,
     Indu, to Indra for his drink.
2. Stream to thine embassy for us: thou hastenest, for Indra, to
     The Gods, O better than our friends.
3. We balm thee, red of hue, with milk to fit thee for the rapturous joy:
     Unbar for us the doors of wealth.
4. He through the sieve hath passed, as comes a courser to the pole, to run
     Indu belongs unto the Gods.
5. All friends have lauded him as he sports in the wood, beyond the fleece:
     Singers have chanted Indu's praise.
6. Flow, Indu, with that stream wherein steeped thou announcest to the man
     Who worships thee heroic strength.
