Each hymn reveals many fascinating aspects of ancient Indo-Aryan culture, history, and religion. Great for meditation, bhakti, praise, or scholarly study! This particular hymn is a praise song that honors God in the form of Indra, who is given the epithets "Gracious Lord" and "Thunderer". The line in verse 6 which reads "Thou art mine ample coat of mail, my champion" is reminiscent of the Christian concept of "putting on the full armor of God".
