What happens in this chapter

Give with both hands, Indra

Atri, son of Bhumi, asks Indra in anushtubh, with a closing pankti, for the gift he holds. Whatever bounty you have, wondrous wielder of the stone, bring it to us with both hands, finder of wealth. Bring what you think worthy of choice; may we know your giving, broad as an ocean without a shore. Your mind, eager to give, is famed and great; with it you break even the firm places to win strength. The rishi has offered many songs to the most generous of the generous, king of peoples. The Atris make their words grow for Indra, they adorn their songs for him.
