1

Indra Śatakratu, spread wide the riches of thy generous grace: As Lord of fair dominion, Friend of all men, grant us great wealth.

2

The food, Mighty Indra, that you possess, renowned far and wide, Is spoken of as most widely famed, unbeatable, O Golden-handed!

3

You who scatter the stone, the powers that willingly obey your command— Deities, both you and they, you rule, to protect them, earth and sky.

4

From whatever power of yours, O Vṛtra-slayer, it may be, Bring to us heroic strength: you have a man’s regard for us.

5

Under your protection, with these aids of yours, O Lord of Hundred Powers, Indra, may we be well protected, Hero, may we be well protected.
