"THOU art the Mighty One; when born, O Indra, with power thou tcrrifiedst earth and heaven – When, in their fear of thee, all firm-set mountains and monstrous creatures shook like dust before thee."

"When thy two wandering Bays thou drawest hither, thy praiser laid within thine arms the thunder, Wherewith, O Much-invoked, in will resistless, thou smitest foemen down and many a castle."

"Faithful art thou, these thou defiest, Indra; thou art the R̥ibhus' Lord, heroic, victor. Thou, by his side, for young and glorious Kutsa, with steed and car in battle slewest Ṣushṇa,"

"That, as a friend, thou furtheredst, O Indra, when, Thunderer, strong in act, thou crushedst Vr̥itra; When, Hero, thou, great-souled, with easy conquest didst rend the Dasyus in their distant dwelling."

"This doest thou, and art not harmed, O Indra, e'en in the anger of the strongest mortal. Lay thou the race-course open for our horses: as with a club, slay, Thunderarmed! our foemen."

"Hence men invoke thee, Indra, in the tumult of battle, in the light-bestowing conflict. This aid of thine, O Godlike One, was ever to be implored in deeds of might in combat."

"Warring for Pûrukutsa thou, O Indra, Thunder-armed I breakest down the seven castles; Easily, for Sudis, like grass didst rend them, and out of need, King, broughtest gain to Pûru."

"O Indra, God who movest round about us, feed us with varied food plenteous as water- Food wherewithal, O Hero, thou bestowest vigour itself to flow to us for ever."

"Prayers have been made by Gotamas, O Indra, addressed to thee, with laud for thy Bay Horses. Bring us in noble shape abundant riches. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early."
