Indra
Vasiṣṭha Maitrāvaruṇi
5 verses: triṣṭubh
This hymn is much preoccupied with receiving material goods from Indra. The words “bounty,” “bounteous,” “largesse,” and so forth are prominent. What would prompt his giving, namely our praise and sacrifice, is barely, but significantly, men tioned: the first verse opens with the martial context that is common throughout these Indra hymns in the VIIth Maṇḍala, with men in battle position. In our inter pretation of pāda b, Indra is expected to harness the praise hymns directed to him by the poets of our side “to be decisive”—that is, the hymns will ensure that Indra will fight on our side and bring us victory. This concern to have Indra on our side in battle is echoed in verse 4 with the “coincident call.” This call can refer both to war riors on opposing sides each calling Indra to fight on their own side, as in verse 1, and also to rival sacrificers each calling Indra to come to their sacrifice, as we have seen elsewhere in this Indra cycle.
Another important theme in the hymn is confinement, with subtle allusion to the Vala myth. We ask for a share of the cattle enclosure in 1d and in 2d exhort Indra to break apart the firmly closed fortresses and uncover what is enclosed there; the

swelling gift-cow in 4cd was previously enclosed (in our opinion; this adjective is ordinarily ascribed to a different root, and it can be a pun, with the second meaning “sought after”); and in the final verse (5) we ask Indra to make wide space for our wealth.
