Indra whose jaws are strong hath drunk of worshipping Sudaksha's draught,
The Soma juice with barley brew.

O Lord of ample wealth, these songs of praise have called aloud to thee,
Like milch-kine lowing to their calves!

Then straight they recognized the mystic name of the creative Steer,
There in the mansion of the Moon.

When Indra, strongest hero, brought the streams, the mighty waters down,
Pushan was standing by his side.

The Cow, the streaming mother of the liberal Maruts, pours her milk,
Harnessed to draw their chariots on.

Come, Lord of rapturous joys, to our libation with thy bay steeds, come
With bay steeds to the flowing juice

Presented strengthening gifts have sent Indra away at sacrifice,
With night, unto the cleansing bath.

I from my Father have received deep knowledge of eternal Law:
I was born like unto the Sun.

With Indra splendid feasts be ours, rich in all strengthening things, wherewith,
Wealthy in food, we may rejoice

Soma and Pushan, kind to him who travels to the Gods, provide
Dwellings all happy and secure.

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