सखीयताम् अविता बोधि सखा गृणान इन्द्र स्तुवते वयो धाः । वयं ह्य् आ ते चकृमा सबाध आभिः शमीभिर् महयन्त इन्द्र ॥

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Be helping Friend of those who seek thy friendship . give life, when lauded, Indra, to the singer. For, Indra, we the priests have paid thee worship, exalting thee with these our sacrifices.
