1. Let Soma juices make thee glad! Display thy bounty,
Thunderer:
Drive off the enemies of prayer!
2. Drink our libation, Lord of hymns! with streams of meath
thou art bedewed:
Yea, Indra, glory is thy gift.
3. Indra hath ever thought of you and tended you with care.
The God,
Heroic Indra, is not checked.
4. Let the drops pass within thee as the rivers flow into
the sea
O Indra, naught excelleth thee!
5. Indra, the singers with high praise, Indra reciters with
their lauds,
Indra the choirs have glorified.
6. May Indra give, to aid us wealth handy that rules the
skilful ones!
Yea, may the Strong give potent wealth
7. Verily Indra, conquering all, drives even mighty fear
away,
For firm is he and swift to act.
8. These songs with every draught we pour come, lover of
the song, to thee
As milch-kine hasten to their calves.
9. Indra and Wishan will we call for friendship and
prosperity,
And for the winning of the spoil.
10. O Indra, Vritra-slayer, naught is better, mightier than
thou
Verily there is none like thee!
