3When, with the Princes, Maghavari, famed of old, comes nigh the thunderbolt of gold, and the Controlle r's car Which his two Tawny Coursers draw, then Indra is the Sovran Lord of power whose glory spreads afar.

4With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra throws drops of moisture on his yellow bear d. When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and stirs the worshipper as wind disturbs the wo od.

5We laud and praise his several deeds of valour who, fatherlike, with power hath made us stronger; Who with his voice slew many thousand wicked ones who spake in varied manners with contemptuous cr ies.

6Indra, the Vimadas have formed for thee a laud, copious, unparalleled, for thee Most Bountiful. We know the good we gain from him the Mighty One when we attract him as a herdsman calls the kine.
