Surya, thou mountest up to meet the hero famous for his wealth,
Who hurls the bolt and works for man.

Whatever, Vritra-slayer! thou, Surya hast risen upon to-day,
That, Indra, all is in thy power.

That Indra is our youthful friend, who with his trusty guidanceled
Turvasa, Yadu from afar.

O Indra, let not ill designs surround us in the sunbeams' light
This may we gain with thee for friend!

Indra, bring wealth that gives delight, the victor's ever-conquering wealth,
Most excellent, to be our aid

In mighty battle we invoke Indra, Indra is lesser fight,
The friend who bends his bolt at fiends.

In battle of a thousand arms Indra drank Kadru's Soma juice
There he displayed his manly might.

Faithful to thee, we sing aloud, heroic Indra, songs to thee
Mark, O good Lord, this act of ours!

Hitherward! they who light the flame and straightway trim the sacred grass,
Whose friend is Indra ever young.

Drive all our enemies away, smite down the foes who press around,
And bring the wealth for which we long!

Based upon strength and victory and power, O Indra, is thy birth:
Thou, mighty one! art strong indeed,
