Meaning
Two horses (yoga and kshema) carry Indra, hero of inviolable honour and power and head of the nation- family. Indra, protector of the honour of the land, listen to the Rishis’ songs of the praise of the heroes, go close to the yajna-assemblies of the people, listen and act accordingly. You are anointed and consecrated in the sacred law and constitution of the land for the sixteen fold honour and glory of the nation: This honour and glory now is your haven of life, the very purpose and meaning of your office and existence. The people look up to you for the sixteen-fold honour and prosperity of the nation.
