1No one by deed attains to him who works and strengthensevermore: No, not by sacrifice, to Indra praised of all, resistless, daring, bold in might;

2The powerful conqueror, invincible in war, him at whose birth the mighty ones, The kine who spread afar, sent their loud voices out, heavens, earths sent their loud voices out.

3O Soma, Indu, while they cleanse thee, with thy wave pour orb us plentiful accumulated food, Which, ceaseless, thrice a day shall yield us hero power enriched. with store of nourishment, and strength, and meath. VIII Indra.
