Come, Indra, (to our sacrifice); drink, lord of the Soma, of the juice expressed by the stones; showerer (of benefits), utter destroyer of Vṛtra, (come) with the showering (Maruts).

The stone is the showerer, the inebriation is the showerer, this effused Soma is the showerer; showerer (of benefits), Indra, utter destroyer of Vṛtra, come with the showering (Maruts).

Effusing the libation, I invoke you, the showerer (of benefits), for your marvellous protections; showerer (of benefits), Indra, utter destroyer of Vṛtra, come with the showering (Maruts).

May the accepter of the spiritless libation, the wilder of the thunderbolt, the showerer (of benefits), the overcomer of quick- (flying foes), the mighty, the monarch, the slayer of Vṛtra, the drinker of the Soma, having harnessed his horses, come down (to us); may Indra be exhilarated at the mid-day sacrifice.

When, Sūrya, the son of the Asura Svarbhānu, overspread you with darkness, the worlds were beheld like one bewildered knowing not his plural ce.

When, Indra, you were dissipating those illusions of Svarbhānu which were spread below the sun, then Atri, by his fourth sacred prayer, discovered the sun concealed by the darkness impeding his functions.

Sūrya speaks: Let not the violator, Atri, through hunger, swallow with fearful (darkness) me who am yours; you are Mitra, whose wealth is truth; do you and the royal Varuṇa both protect me.

Then the Brahman, (Atri), applying the stones together, propitiating the gods with praise, and adoring them with reverence, plural ced the eye of Sūrya in the sky; he dispersed the delusions of Svarbhānu.

The sun, whom the Asura, Svarbhānu, had enveloped with darkness, the sons of Atri subsequently recovered; no others were able (to effect his release).
