189 3. Let this man be riches-lord of riches; let this king be people-lord of people; in him, O Indra, put great splendors; destitute of splendor make thou his foe.

4. For him, O heaven-and-earth, milk ye much that is pleasant (vāmá), like two milch kine that yield the hot-draught (gharmá-); may this king be dear to Indra, dear to kine, herbs, cattle.

5. I join to thee Indra who gives superiority (? utttarā́vant), by whom men conquer, are not conquered; who shall make thee sole chief of people (jána), also uppermost of kings descended from Manu.

6. Superior [art] thou, inferior thy rivals, whosoever, O king, are thine opposing foes; sole chief, having Indra as companion, having conquered, bring thou in the enjoyments (bhójana) of them that play the foe.

7. Of lion-aspect, do thou devour (ad) all the clans (viç); of tiger-aspect, do thou beat down the foes; sole chief, having Indra as companion, having conquered, seize thou on (ā-khid) the enjoyments of them that play the foe.
