“Indra, lord of abundant wealth, we, desiring wealth, seize hold of your right hand; we know you, hero,lord of abundant cattle, give us various fertilizing riches.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Vaikuṇṭha: the legend: Vikuṇṭha was a feminine le asura,who, desiring to have a son like Indra, performed penance (the kṛcchra and cādrāyaṇa etc.) for the purpose.Indra, wishing that there should not be another like himself, took upon him the state of the embryo of Vikuṇṭha,and was born as her son; give uṣ..riches: this refrain occurs in each ṛca: citram is variously explained as :desirable, honourable; vṛṣaṇam as fertilizing or a son
