He who is the lord of horses and cattle, the generous one, who is swift in action and firm in deed; Indra, who is the slayer even of the wealthy who do not offer, we call, accompanied by the Maruts, for friendship.

Rejoice, O Indra, with your bays; expand your cheeks, let the streams flow forth. Let your fine-cheeked steeds bring you here; graciously accept our offerings.

May we, with Indra, win strength as guardians of the Marut-praised assembly. May Mitra, Varuṇa, Aditi, the River, Earth, and Heaven not harm us.

I bring forth this thought for you, O mighty one, for the great praise of your greatness, as inspired by Dhiṣaṇā. In festival and in striving, the gods have found Indra, strong in might, to be victorious.
अस्य श्रवो नद्यः सप्त बिभ्रति द्यावाक्षामा पृथिवी दर्शतं वपुः । अस्मे सूर्याचन्द्रमसाभिचक्षे श्रद्धे कमिन्द्र चरतो वितर्तुरम्
The seven rivers bear his fame; heaven and earth display his wondrous form. For us, the sun and moon look on with favor; O Indra, move faithfully among those who act with devotion.

With you as our ally, may we conquer in battle; may our share rise in every contest. For us, O Indra, make the path easy; break the strength of our enemies, O bountiful, mighty one.
नाना हि त्वा हवमाना जना इमे धनानां धर्तरवसा विपन्यवः । अस्माकं स्मा रथमा तिष्ठ सातये जैत्रं हीन्द्र निभृतं मनस्तव
For you, different peoples call in their invocations, seeking wealth, O holder of riches, with various thoughts. Stand by our chariot for victory; O Indra, your steady mind is triumphant.
गोजिता बाहू अमितक्रतुः सिमः कर्मन्कर्मञ्छतमूतिः खजंकरः । अकल्प इन्द्रः प्रतिमानमोजसाथा जना वि ह्वयन्ते सिषासवः
With arms victorious over cows, of boundless resolve, a lion in deed, a hundredfold helper, breaker of obstacles—Indra is unmatched in strength; thus, people desiring success call upon him.

O bountiful Indra, you have gained hundreds, you have gained thousands of renowned glories among peoples. Inspired, Dhiṣaṇā has set you beyond measure, so you, destroyer of cities, strike down the foes.
त्रिविष्टिधातु प्रतिमानमोजसस्तिस्रो भूमीर्नृपते त्रीणि रोचना । अतीदं विश्वं भुवनं ववक्षिथाशत्रुरिन्द्र जनुषा सनादसि
Your strength, O king, is set in the threefold realm; three earths, three lights you have established. You have embraced this whole world; O Indra, you are unconquered from birth.

Among the gods, we call upon you first; you have been victorious in battles. May Indra make this chariot of ours, which bursts forth with energy, lead us in the contest, overcoming the foe.
त्वं जिगेथ न धना रुरोधिथार्भेष्वाजा मघवन्महत्सु च । त्वामुग्रमवसे सं शिशीमस्यथा न इन्द्र हवनेषु चोदय
You conquer, and no riches restrain you; in youth and in great deeds, O bountiful one. We seek you, the mighty, for help; so, O Indra, urge us on in the invocations.
विश्वाहेन्द्रो अधिवक्ता नो अस्त्वपरिह्वृताः सनुयाम वाजम् । तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः
May Indra be our advocate in all matters; may we win strength without being overcome. May Mitra, Varuṇa, Aditi, the River, Earth, and Heaven not harm us.
तत्त इन्द्रियं परमं पराचैरधारयन्त कवयः पुरेदम् । क्षमेदमन्यद्दिव्यन्यदस्य समी पृच्यते समनेव केतुः
That supreme power of yours, O Indra, the wise of old upheld from afar. One thing is restrained, another shines forth; your sign is seen as if on a level plain.
स धारयत्पृथिवीं पप्रथच्च वज्रेण हत्वा निरपः ससर्ज । अहन्नहिमभिनद्रौहिणं व्यहन्व्यंसं मघवा शचीभिः
He upheld and spread out the earth; with his bolt he struck and released the waters. He slew the serpent, split the mountain, and, with his powers, the bountiful one destroyed the cloud.
स जातूभर्मा श्रद्दधान ओजः पुरो विभिन्दन्नचरद्वि दासीः । विद्वान्वज्रिन्दस्यवे हेतिमस्यार्यं सहो वर्धया द्युम्नमिन्द्र
He, ever youthful, trusting in his strength, moved forward, breaking the forts of the Dasyus. Knowing, with his bolt, the weapon of Indra, increase the Aryan might and glory, O Indra.
तदूचुषे मानुषेमा युगानि कीर्तेन्यं मघवा नाम बिभ्रत् । उपप्रयन्दस्युहत्याय वज्री यद्ध सूनुः श्रवसे नाम दधे
Thus have men spoken through these ages, bearing the famed name of the bountiful one. Approaching for the slaying of foes, the wielder of the bolt, the son, has established his name for renown.
तदस्येदं पश्यता भूरि पुष्टं श्रदिन्द्रस्य धत्तन वीर्याय । स गा अविन्दत्सो अविन्ददश्वान्स ओषधीः सो अपः स वनानि
See this, his abundant wealth; place your faith in Indra's might. He found the cows, he found the horses, he found the plants, the waters, and the forests.
भूरिकर्मणे वृषभाय वृष्णे सत्यशुष्माय सुनवाम सोमम् । य आदृत्या परिपन्थीव शूरोऽयज्वनो विभजन्नेति वेदः
Let us press Soma for the mighty bull, the strong one of abundant deeds, whose power is true; who, like a vigilant warrior on the road, comes dividing the wealth of the godless.
तदिन्द्र प्रेव वीर्यं चकर्थ यत्ससन्तं वज्रेणाबोधयोऽहिम् । अनु त्वा पत्नीर्हृषितं वयश्च विश्वे देवासो अमदन्ननु त्वा
O Indra, you performed that heroic deed when, with your thunderbolt, you awakened the sleeping serpent; all your wives, the birds, and all the gods rejoiced in you.
शुष्णं पिप्रुं कुयवं वृत्रमिन्द्र यदावधीर्वि पुरः शम्बरस्य । तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः
When you slew Śuṣṇa, Pipru, Kuyava, and Vṛtra, Indra, and shattered the ninety-nine fortresses of Śambara—may Mitra, Varuṇa, Aditi, Sindhu, Earth, and Heaven not harm us for this.
योनिष्ट इन्द्र निषदे अकारि तमा नि षीद स्वानो नार्वा । विमुच्या वयोऽवसायाश्वान्दोषा वस्तोर्वहीयसः प्रपित्वे
Indra, your seat has been established in its place; sit down there, resounding like a roaring bull. Unharness the horses, let them rest; let the chariots, weary from the journey, be set aside at evening.
ओ त्ये नर इन्द्रमूतये गुर्नू चित्तान्सद्यो अध्वनो जगम्यात् । देवासो मन्युं दासस्य श्चम्नन्ते न आ वक्षन्सुविताय वर्णम्
These men, with eager minds, have come quickly to seek Indra; the gods, turning away the wrath of the Dāsa, have brought us, the Arya, to prosperity.
अव त्मना भरते केतवेदा अव त्मना भरते फेनमुदन् । क्षीरेण स्नातः कुयवस्य योषे हते ते स्यातां प्रवणे शिफायाः
By his own power he brings forth the shining one; by his own power he brings forth the foam upon the water. Bathed in milk, like a bride of the Kuyava, slain, may you be at the slope of the udder.
