Indra, the hero who destroys Vtra, the cloud of

and prosperity, goes forward with the people for the

achievement of strength and joy of the land of freedom

the battles of life, great and small, so that he may defend

and advance us in all our struggles for progress and

lead us to victory. (Rg. 1-81-1)

honour grow higher and higher. (Rg. 1-81-2)
