Krishna Sprayed with Colored Water at the Holi Festival, ca. 1650 – 1675, The Morgan Library & Museum, New York, NY, USA.
Greetings on the auspicious occasion of Holi 🔥
As a kindled fire reduces wood to ashes, O Arjun, so does the fire of
knowledge burn to ashes all reactions from material activities.
Let that (auspicious) Agni instigate us (towards prosperity and well-being).

(celebrating Kumbh Mela: g.co/kgs/rPAzH87)
10 To lofty Indra, dweller by each libation, the pious man
Sings forth aloud a strengthening hymn.
9 Praising with songs the praise-worthy who cometh to our aid, we call
Indra, the Treasure-Lord of wealth.
8 Grant us high fame, O Indra, grant riches bestowing thousands, those
Fair fruits of earth borne home in wains.
7 Give, Indra, wide and lofty fame, wealthy in cattle and in strength,
Lasting our life-time, failing not.
6 O Indra, stimulate thereto us emulously fain for wealth,
And glorious, O most splendid One.
5 Send to us bounty manifold, O Indra, worthy of our wish,
For power supreme is only thine.
4 Songs have outpoured themselves to thee, Indra, the strong, the guardian Lord,
And raised themselves unsatisfied.
3 O Lord of all men, fair of cheek, rejoice thee in the gladdening lauds,
Present at these drink-offerings.
2 To Indra pour ye forth the juice, the active gladdening juice to him
The gladdening, omnific God.
HYMN IX. Indra.
1 COME, Indra, and delight thee with the juice at all the Soma feasts,
Protector, mighty in thy strength.
10 So are his lovely gifts; let lauds and praises be to Indra sung, That he may drink the Soma juice.
9 For verily thy mighty powers, Indra, are saving helps at once Unto a worshipper like me.
8 So also is his excellence, great, vigorous, rich in cattle, like A ripe branch to the worshipper.
7 His belly, drinking deepest draughts of Soma, like an ocean swells, Like wide streams from the cope of heaven.
6 Which aideth those to win them sons, who come as heroes to the fight, Or singers loving holy thoughts.
5 Mighty is Indra, yea supreme; greatness be his, the Thunderer: Wide as the heaven extends his power
4 With thee, O India, for ally with missile-darting heroes, may We conquer our embattled foes.
3 Aided by thee, the thunder-armed, Indra, may we lift up the bolt, And conquer all our foes in fight.
2 By means of which we may repel our foes in battle hand to hand,
By thee assisted with the car.
HYMN VIII. Indra.
1 INDRA, bring wealth that gives delight, the victor's ever-conquering wealth,
Most excellent, to be our aid;
10 For your sake from each side we call Indra away from other men: Ours, and none others’, may he be.
