INDRA, grant us the greatest joy, swift to give and quick to aid, O Hero, Who conquers with brave horses where brave horses meet, and subdues the Vṛtras and enemies in battle.
With a mighty voice, your tribes call upon you, Indra, to help them in the battle of heroes. You, with the singers, have pierced through the Paṇis: the horse you aid wins the spoils.
Both sides, Indra, of opposing foes, O Hero, both Aryans and Dasas, You have struck down like trees with lightning strikes: you divide them in battle, most valiant Chief!
INDRA, befriend us with no little help, prosper and aid us, Loved by all that lives, When, fighting for the sun, we invoke you, O Hero, in the fray, in war's division.
INDRA, be ours now and for the future, be graciously inclined and close to help us. Thus may we, singing, be protected by the Mighty, win many cattle on the day of trial.
