18537The Hymns of the Rigveda, Book 9 — Hymn 52Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. WEALTH-WINNER, dwelling in the sky, bringing us vigour with the juice,
     Flow to the filter when effused.
2. So, in thine ancient ways, may he, beloved, with a thousand streams
     Run o'er the fleecy straining-cloth.
3. Him who is like a caldron shake: O Indu, shake thy gift to us
     Shake it, armed Warrior! with thine arms.
4. Indu, invoked with many a prayer, bring down the vigour of these men,
     Of him who threatens us with war.
5. Indu, Wealth-giver, with thine help pour out for us a hundred, yea,
     A thousand of thy pure bright streams.
