कदु न्वस्याकृतमिन्द्रस्यास्ति पौंस्यम् । केनो नु कं श्रोमतेन न शुश्रुवे जनुषः परि वृत्रहा
What has not been done by him? What is Indra's manliness? By what, with what fame, has the slayer of Vritra not been heard of in all generations?
त्वामिद्धि हवामहे साता वाजस्य कारवः । त्वां वृत्रेष्विन्द्र सत्पतिं नरस्त्वां काष्ठास्वर्वतः
It is you whom we invoke, O Indra, bringer of wealth, O lord of men; in battles, you are the true lord, and men call upon you from every quarter.
स त्वं नश्चित्र वज्रहस्त धृष्णुया मह स्तवानो अद्रिवः । गामश्वं रथ्यमिन्द्र सं किर सत्रा वाजं न जिग्युषे
O you, wondrous one, holding the thunderbolt in your hand, mighty and praised, destroyer of foes, scatter for us, Indra, cattle, horses, and chariots; grant us the prize that cannot be defeated.
अभि त्वा पूर्वपीतय इन्द्र स्तोमेभिरायवः । समीचीनास ऋभवः समस्वरन् रुद्रा गृणन्त पूर्व्यम्
To you, Indra, the ancient drinkers offer praises; the skillful ones, harmonious, sing together; the Rudras extol the primordial one.
अस्येदिन्द्रो वावृधे वृष्ण्यं शवो मदे सुतस्य विष्णवि । अद्या तमस्य महिमानमायवोऽनु ष्टुवन्ति पूर्वथा
Indra has grown in strength and heroic power through the exhilarating, pressed Soma; today, the mighty ones praise his greatness as in former times.
अधा हीन्द्र गिर्वण उप त्वा कामान् महः ससृज्महे । उदेव यन्त उदभिः
Therefore, Indra, singer of praises, we approach you with our desires for greatness; let them rise up, let them ascend with offerings.
वार्ण त्वा यव्याभिर्वर्धन्ति शूर ब्रह्माणि । वावृध्वांसं चिदद्रिवो दिवेदिवे
O hero, the prayers exalt you with their praises; even when you are already increased, O destroyer of foes, day by day.
युञ्जन्ति हरी इषिरस्य गाथयोरौ रथ उरुयुगे । इन्द्रवाहा वचोयुजा
They harness the two steeds for the inspired song, the broad-yoked chariot; Indra-drawn, yoked by words.
अग्निं दूतं वृणीमहे होतारं विश्ववेदसम् । अस्य यज्ञस्य सुक्रतुम्

वृषो अग्निः समिध्यतेऽश्वो न देववाहनः । तं हविष्मन्तः ईलते
Agni, the bull, is kindled, like a horse bearing the gods; those with offerings seek him.
वृषणं त्वा वयं वृषन् वृषणः समिधीमहि । अग्ने दीद्यतं बृहत्
We kindle you, O mighty one, with mighty ones, O Agni, shining greatly.
अग्निमीलिष्वावसे गाथाभिः शीरशोचिषम् । अग्निं राये पुरुमील्ह श्रुतं नरोऽग्निं सुदीतये छर्दिः
We invoke Agni for help with songs, radiant in brilliance; for wealth, we invoke Agni, renowned among men, Agni as a shield for good guidance.
अग्न आ याह्यग्निभिर्होतारं त्वा वृणीमहे । आ त्वामनक्तु प्रयता हविष्मती यजिष्ठं बर्हिरासदे
Come, O Agni, with the other fires; as priest, we choose you. May the prepared, offering-bearing seat invite you, most worthy, to sit.
अच्छ हि त्वा सहसः सूनो अङ्गिरः स्रुचश्चरन्त्यध्वरे । ऊर्जो नपातं घृतकेशमीमहेऽग्निं यज्ञेषु पूर्व्यम्
To you, O son of strength, O Angiras, the ladles move at the sacrifice; we seek Agni, the ancient, child of nourishment, with ghee-hair, in the rites.
इमा उ त्वा पुरूवसो गिरो वर्धन्तु या मम । पावकवर्णाः शुचयो विपश्चितोऽभि स्तोमैरनूषत
May these songs, O bountiful one, which are mine, increase you; bright, pure, wise, they praise you with hymns.
अयं सहस्रमृषिभिः सहस्कृतः समुद्र इव पप्रथे । सत्यः सो अस्य महिमा गृने शवो यज्ञेषु विप्रराज्ये
He, honored by a thousand sages, has spread like the ocean; his greatness is true, I praise his power in the sacrifice, in the sovereignty of the wise.
आ नो विश्वासु हव्य इन्द्रः समत्सु भूषतु । उप ब्रह्माणि सवनानि वृत्रहा परमज्या ऋचीषमः
May Indra grant us all offerings in every assembly; let the prayers and libations approach, O slayer of Vritra, supreme, most praised.
त्वं दाता प्रथमो राधसामस्यसि सत्य ईशानकृत्। तुविद्युम्नस्य युज्या वृणीमहे पुत्रस्य शवसो महः
You are the foremost giver of wealth, established in truth and lordship; we choose you, mighty one, for the greatness of the powerful son.
त्वमिन्द्र प्रतूर्तिष्वभि विश्वा असि स्पृधः । अशस्तिहा जनिता विश्वतूरसि त्वं तूर्य तरुष्यतः
O Indra, you are victorious in all contests; destroyer of curses, creator of universal triumph, you surpass the hostile challenger.
अनु ते शुष्मं तुरयन्तमीयतुः क्षोणी शिशुं न मातरा । विश्वास्ते स्पृधः श्नथयन्त मन्यवे वृत्रं यदिन्द्र तूर्वसि
Your force, swift and powerful, moves across the earth like a child to its mother; with your wrath, you shatter all opponents when you conquer Vritra, O Indra.
इत ऊती वो अजरं प्रहेतारमप्रहितम् । आशुं जेतारं हेतारं रथीतममतूर्तं तुग्र्यावृधम्
From here, I invoke for you the ageless, unerring leader, the swift victor, the guide, the charioteer, the unconquered, the mighty Tugrya.

He is the king of peoples, the chariot-rider without blemish, the conqueror of all battles, the eldest, the slayer of Vritra whom I praise.

Adorn Indra, the wise, for help, whose power is unmatched; the thunderbolt is placed in his hand, radiant as the sun in the vast sky.
