You are the first giver of riches, truly sovereign in power; we choose you, mighty one, as the ally of the powerful son, endowed with great strength.

O Indra, lover of song, these hymns are composed for you, wondrous and not to be surpassed; accept these, O Indra, with tawny steeds, which we have prepared for you.

Truly, O generous one, you are steadfast and do not turn away, you have destroyed many Vṛtras; therefore, O most mighty, with the thunderbolt in hand, grant wealth to the worshipper nearby.

This young hero who comes, shining from house to house—drink this Soma pressed with barley, mixed with curds, with cakes, and with hymns.

Who knows, who acts, who brings us wealth? May we, with Indra, overcome those who hate us.
इमानि त्रीणि विष्टपा तानीन्द्र वि रोहय । शिरस्ततस्योर्वरामादिदं म उपोदरे
These three realms, O Indra, cause them to grow; let the head of that one be below, and this here be in my womb.
असौ च या न उर्वरादिमां तन्वं मम । अथो ततस्य यच्छिरः सर्वा ता रोमशा कृधि
And that field which does not accept this body of mine, and also whatever head belongs to that one—make all of them hairy.
