Which praise of the living turned the son of Indra active? Truly a hero gave strength: the lord of wealth removed restraint from our folk.

WHAT worthy praise will bring before us Indra, the Son of Strength, that he may grant us riches; For he the Hero, gives the singer treasures: he is the Lord who sends us gifts, ye people.
