इमां ते धियम् प्र भरे महो महीम् अस्य स्तोत्रे धिषणा यत् त आनजे । तम् उत्सवे च प्रसवे च सासहिम् इन्द्रं देवासः शवसामदन्न् अनु ॥

To thee the Mighty One I bring this mighty hymn, for thy desire hath been gratified by my laud. In Indra, yea in him victorious through his strength, the Gods have joyed at feast and when the Soma flowed.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अस्य श्रवो नद्यः सप्त बिभ्रति द्यावाक्षामा पृथिवी दर्शतं वपुः । अस्मे सूर्याचन्द्रमसाभिचक्षे श्रद्धे कम् इन्द्र चरतो वितर्तुरम् ॥
