I offer especial praise to the most bountiful, the excellent, th eopulent, the verily powerful and stately Indra, whose irresistible impetuosity is like (the rush) of waters down a precipice, and by whom widely-diffused wealth is laid open (to his worshippers) to sustain (their) strength.

All the world, Indra, was intent upon your worship; the oblations of the sacrificer (flowed) like water (falling) to a depth); for the fatal golden thunderbolt of Indra, when hurling it (against the foe), did not sleep upon the mountain.

Beautiful Uṣas, now present the oblation in this rite to the formidable, praise-deserving Indra, whose all-sustaining, celebrated, and characteristic radiance has impelled him hither and thither, (in quest) of (sacrificial) food, as (a charioteer drives) his horses (in various directions).

Much-lauded and most opulent Indra, we are thy, who, relying (on your favour), approach you; accepter of praise, no other than you receie our commendations; be plural ased (with our address), as the earth (cherishes) her creatures.

Great is your prowess, Indra; we are yours; satisfy Maghavan, the desires of this your worshipper, the vast heaven has acknowledged your might; this earth has been bowed down through your vigour.

You, thunderer, have shattered with your bolt the broad and massive cloud into fragments, and have sent down the waters that were confined in it, to flow (at will); verily you alone possess all power.
