2Now all this world, for worship, shall come after thee−the offerer's libations like floods to the depth, When the well−loved one seems to rest upon the hill, the thunderbolt of Indra, shatterer wrought of gold.

3To him the terrible, most meet for lofty praise, like bright Dawn, now bring gifts with reverence in this r ite, Whose being, for renown, yea, Indra−power and light, have been created, like bay steeds, to move with speed.

4Thine, Indra, praised by many, excellently rich! are we who trusting in thy help draw near to thee. Lover of praise, none else but thou receives our laud: as earth loves all her creatures, love thou this our hy mn.

5Great is thy power, O Indra, we are thine. Fulfil, O Maghavan, the wish of this thy worshipper. After thee lofty heaven hath measured out its strength: to thee and to thy power this earth hath bowed itsel f.

6Thou, who hast thunder for thy weapon, with thy bolt hast shattered into pieces this broad massive clou d. Thou hast sent down the obstructed floods that they may flow: thou hast, thine own for ever, all victorious might.
