2Giver of horses, Indra, giver, thou, of kine, giver of barley, thou art Lord and guard of wealth: Man's helper from of old, not disappointing hope, Friend of our friends, to thee ,as such we sing this prais e.

3Indra, most splendid, powerful, rich in mighty deeds, this treasure spread around is known to be thine o wn. Gather therefrom, O Conqueror, and bring to us: fail not the hope of him who loves and sings to thee.

4Well pleased with these bright flames and with these Soma drops, take thou away our poverty with seed s and kine. With Indra scattering the Dasyu through these drops, freed from their hate may we obtain abundant food.

5Let us obtain, O Indra, plenteous wealth and food, with strength exceeding glorious, shining to the sky: May we obtain the Goddess Providence, the strength of heroes, special source of cattle, rich in steeds.

6These our libations strength−inspiring, Soma draughts, gladdened thee in the fight with Vrtra, Hero Lor d, What time thou slewest for the singer with trimmed grass ten thousand Vrtras, thou resistless in thy might .

7Thou goest on from fight to fight intrepidly, destroying castle after castle here with strength. Thou, Indra, with thy friend who makes the foe bow down, slewest from far away the guileful Namuci.

8Thou hast struck down in death Karanja, Parnaya, in Atithigva's very glorious going forth. Unyielding, when Rjisvan compassed them with siege, thou hast destroyed the hundred forts of Vangrida.

9With all−outstripping chariot−wheel, O Indra, thou far−famed, hast overthrown the twice ten Kings of men, With sixty thousand nine−and−ninety followers, who came in arms to fight with friendless Susravas.

10Thou hast protected Susravas with succour, and Turvayana with thine aid, O Indra . Thou madest Kutsa, Atithigva, Ayu, subject unto this King, the young, the mighty.

11May we protected by the Gods hereafter remain thy very prosperous friends, O In dra. Thee we extol, enjoying through thy favour life long and joyful and with store of heroes.
