ya ojiṣṭha indra taṃ su no dā mado vṛṣan svabhiṣṭir dāsvān | sauvaśvyaṃ yo vanavat svaśvo vṛtrā samatsu sāsahad amitrān ||
Give us the rapture that is mightiest, Indra, prompt to bestow and swift to aid, O Hero, That wins with brave steeds where brave steeds encounter, and quells the Vrtras and the foes in battle.
tvāṃ hīndrāvase vivāco havante carṣaṇayaḥ śūrasātau | tvaṃ viprebhir vi paṇīṃr aśāyas tvota it sanitā vājam arvā ||
For with loud voice the tribes invoke thee, Indra, to aid them in the battlefield of heroes. Thou, with the singers, hast pierced through the Panis: the charger whom thou aidest wins the booty.
Both races, Indra, of opposing foemen, O Hero, both the Arya and the Dasa, Hast thou struck down like woods with well-shot lightnings: thou rentest them in fight, most manly Chieftain!
स त्वं न इन्द्राकवाभिर् ऊती सखा विश्वायुर् अविता वृधे भूः । स्वर्षाता यद् ध्वयामसि त्वा युध्यन्तो नेमधिता पृत्सु शूर ॥
sa tvaṃ na indrākavābhir ūtī sakhā viśvāyur avitā vṛdhe bhūḥ | svarṣātā yad dhvayāmasi tvā yudhyanto nemadhitā pṛtsu śūra ||
Indra, befriend us with no scanty succour, prosper and aid us, Loved of all that liveth, When, fighting for the sunlight, we invoke thee, O Hero, in the fray, in war's division.
नूनं न इन्द्रापराय च स्या भवा मृळीक उत नो अभिष्टौ । इत्था गृणन्तो महिनस्य शर्मन् दिवि ष्याम पार्ये गोषतमाः ॥
nūnaṃ na indrāparāya ca syā bhavā mṛḷīka uta no abhiṣṭau | itthā gṛṇanto mahinasya śarman divi ṣyāma pārye goṣatamāḥ ||
Be ours, O Indra, now and for the future, be graciously inclined and near to help us. Thus may we, singing, sheltered by the Mighty, win many cattle on the day of trial.
