RV 29 (4)

Rig Veda · translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith

2 Man's Friend, to this our sacrifice he cometh marking how he is called by Soma−pressers. 3 Make his cars hear, that he may show his vigour and may be joyful in the way he loveth. 4 He who with succour comes to his implorer, the singer here who with his song invites him; 5 O Indra Maghavan, by thee protected may we be thine, princes and priests and singers,

The heavy tidings grieved the godlike man: Swift to his succour through the ranks he ran. The dauntless king yet standing firm he found, And all the chiefs in deep concern around. Where to the steely point the reed was join’d, The shaft he drew, but left the head behind. Straight the broad belt with gay embroidery graced, He loosed; the corslet from his breast unbraced; Then suck’d the blood, and sovereign balm infused,[133] Which Chiron gave, and Æsculapius used.
