We mediate like Aṅgiras, an acceptable adress to that powerful and praise-deserving Indra, who is to be adored by his worshippers (with prayers) of efficacy, to bring him to the ceremony; let us repeat a prayer to the celebrated leader of all.

Do you, priests, offer to the vast and most powerful, Indra, earnest veneration, a chant fit to be sung aloud; for through him our forefathers, the Aṅgirasas, worshipping him, and knowing the footmark, recovered (the stolen) cattle.

When the search was set on foot by Indra and the Aṅgirasas, Suramā secured food for her young; then Bṛhaspati slew the devourer and rescued the kine, and the gods, with the cattle, proclaimed their joy alouḍ

Powerful Indra, who are to be gratified with a laudatory and well-accented hymn by the seven priests, whether engaged for nine months, or for ten; and, desirous of (safe) protection, you have terrified by your voice the divisible fructifying cloud.

Destroyer of foes, praised by the Aṅgirasas, you have scattered the darkness with the dawn, and with the rays of the sun; you have made straight the elevations of the earth; you have strengthened the foundations of the ethereal region.

The deeds of that graceful Indra are most admirable; his exploits are most glorious, in that he has replenished the four rivers of sweet water, spread over the surface of the earth.

He who is not to be attained by violence, but (is easily propitiated) by those who praise him with sacred hymns, parted twofold the eternal and united (sphered of heaven and earth); the graceful Indra cherished the heaven and earth, like the sun in the august and most excellent sky.

(Night and dawn), of various complexion, repeatedly born, but ever youthful, have traversed in their revolutions alternately, from a remote period, earth and heaven; night with her dark, dawn with her luminous limbs.

The son of strength assiduous in good works, diligent in pious acts, retains his ancient friendship (for his votary). You, (Indra), provide within the yet immature cows, whether black or red, the mature and glossy milk.

From a remote time the contiguous, unshifting, and unwearied fingers practise with (all) their energies many thousand acts of devotion (towards Indra); and like the wives (of the gods), the protecting sisters worship him who is without shame.

Beautiful Indra, who are to be praised with holy hymns, the pious who are desirous of holy rites, those who are anxious for riches, and those who are wise, repair to you with veneration; powerful Indra, their minds adhere to you, as affectionate wives to a loving husbaṇḍ+

Beautiful Indra, the riches that have long since been held in your hands have suffered neither loss nor diminution. You, Indra, are illustrious, addicted to good works, and resolute; enrich us, you who are diligent in action, by your acts.

Mighty Indra, Nodhas, the son of Gotama, has composed for us this new hymn, (addressed) to you, who have been forever, who harness your coursers (to your car) and are the sure guide (of all). May he who has acquired wealth by propitious acts, come hither quickly in the morning.
