Atharva Veda 6.33: A prayer to Indra for riches
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
He who controls this air and men who aid his strength, and wood, and heaven, the lofty seat which Indra loves.
The bold whose overpowering might the boldest never hath defied,— As erst still, unassailable is Indra's wrath, and fame, and force.
May he bestow on us that wealth, far-spreading, bright with yellow hue.
Indra is mightiest Lord among the folk.
