10.131.1
apa̱ prāca̍ indra̱ viśvā̍m̐ a̱mitrā̱n apāpā̍co abhibhūte nudasva |
apodī̍co̱ apa̍ śūrādha̱rāca̍ u̱rau yathā̱ tava̱ śarma̱n made̍ma ||
DRIVE all our enemies away, O Indra, the western, mighty Conqueror, and the eastern. Hero, drive off our northem foes and southem, that we in thy wide shelter may be joyful.
10.131.2
ku̱vid a̱ṅga yava̍manto̱ yava̍ṁ ci̱d yathā̱ dānty a̍nupū̱rvaṁ vi̱yūya̍ |
i̱hehai̍ṣāṁ kṛṇuhi̱ bhoja̍nāni̱ ye ba̱rhiṣo̱ namo̍vṛkti̱ṁ na ja̱gmuḥ ||
What then? As men whose fields are full of barley reap the ripe corn removing it in order, So bring the food of those men, bring it hither, who went not to prepare the grass for worship.
10.131.3
na̱hi sthūry ṛ̍tu̱thā yā̱tam asti̱ nota śravo̍ vivide saṁga̱meṣu̍ |
ga̱vyanta̱ indra̍ṁ sa̱khyāya̱ viprā̍ aśvā̱yanto̱ vṛṣa̍ṇaṁ vā̱jaya̍ntaḥ ||
Men come not with one horse at sacred seasons; thus they obtain no honour in assemblies. Sages desiring herds of kine and horses strengthen the mighty Indra for his friendship.

As parents aid a son, both Aṣvins, Indra, aided thee with their wondrous Powers and wisdom. When thou, with might. hadst drunk the draught that gladdens, Sarasvatî, O Maghavan, refreshed thee.
10.131.6
indra̍ḥ su̱trāmā̱ svavā̱m̐ avo̍bhiḥ sumṛḻī̱ko bha̍vatu vi̱śvave̍dāḥ |
bādha̍tā̱ṁ dveṣo̱ abha̍yaṁ kṛṇotu su̱vīrya̍sya̱ pata̍yaḥ syāma ||
Indra is strong to save, rich in assistance may he, possessing all, be kind and gracious. May he disperse our foes and give us safety, and may we be the lords of hero vigou r.
10.131.7
tasya̍ va̱yaṁ su̍ma̱tau ya̱jñiya̱syāpi̍ bha̱dre sau̍mana̱se syā̍ma |
sa su̱trāmā̱ svavā̱m̐ indro̍ a̱sme ā̱rāc ci̱d dveṣa̍ḥ sanu̱tar yu̍yotu ||
May we enjoy his favour, his the Holy may we enjoy his blessed loving kindness. May this rich Indra, as our good Protector, drive off and keep afar all those who hate us.
