Giver from all sides, bring to us from every side, thou whom as strongest we entreat!

This Brahman, comer at due time, named Indra, is renowned and praised.

The Brahmans with their hymns exalting Indra increased his strength that he might slaughter Ahi.

Anavas wrought a chariot for thy courser, and Tvashtar, much-invoked! the bolt that gitters:

Rest, wealth to him who longs for wealth! the riteless stirs not his love nor wins his way to riches.

The cows are ever pure and all-supporting, the Gods are ever free from stain and blemish.

With all thy beauty come! The kine approaching with full udders follow on thy path.

May we, inhabiting a meath-rich dwelling, increase our wealth, and think of thee, O Indra!

The Maruts with fair hymns chant out their praise-song: this Indra, famed and youthful, shouts accordant.

Sing to your Indra, mightiest Vritra-slayer, sing to the Sage the song that he accepteth!
