What happens in this chapter

Indra, who won heaven by tapas

Vishvamitra and Jamadagni together praise Indra in jagati, with Soma, Varuna, Brihaspati, Anumati, Dhatar and Vidhatar named in the third verse. This honey is poured for you, Indra; you rule over the pressed jar. Make wealth rich in heroes for us; by heating tapas you won the light of heaven. We call the mighty one who won heaven, joyful in the drink; wake to this yajna and come. Under the law of King Soma and Varuna, in the shelter of Brihaspati and Anumati, I have eaten from the jars at your praise. The rishis say they came to the pressing together, in Indra's house.
