From the radiant Brahmans the loud-voiced Indra, O Vasiṣṭha, overcame great hosts. He, who hears all the corpses (all cries), like a swift listener, proclaimed these words.

अया॑मि॒ घोष॑ इन्द्र दे॒वजा॑मिरिर॒ज्यन्त॒ यच्छु॒रुधो॒ विवा॑चि । न॒हि स्वमायु॑श्चिकि॒ते जने॑षु॒ तानीदंहां॒स्यति॑ पर्ष्य॒स्मान्

This voice of Indra, born of gods, was invoked and he heard and spoke. He does not cure our life-span among men; these things will devour us—he will strike us not.

आप॑श्चित्पिप्युः स्त॒र्यो॒३॒॑ न गावो॒ नक्ष॑न्नृ॒तं ज॑रि॒तार॑स्त इन्द्र । या॒हि वा॒युर्न नि॒युतो॑ नो॒ अच्छा॒ त्वं हि धी॒भिर्दय॑से॒ वि वाजा॑न्

The waters drank, the bright ones thirsted; neither cows nor the false dance were exhausted, O Indra. Whether the wind blew or restrained, you have compassion in your intellects and bestow wealth.

ते त्वा॒ मदा॑ इन्द्र मादयन्तु शु॒ष्मिणं॑ तुवि॒राध॑सं जरि॒त्रे । एको॑ देव॒त्रा दय॑से॒ हि मर्ता॑न॒स्मिञ्छू॑र॒ सव॑ने मादयस्व
te tvā madā indra mādayantu śuṣmiṇaṃ tuvirādhasaṃ jaritre eko devatrā dayase hi martānasmiñchūra savane mādayasva
Indra, may they intoxicate you with draughts on the subtle threshold, they who inspire you with might. One god alone gives compassion to mortals; O hero, intoxicate the host with sacrifice.

evedindraṃ vṛṣaṇaṃ vajrabāhuṃ vasiṣṭhāso abhyarcantyarkaiḥ sa naḥ stuto vīravaddhātu gomadyūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
Thus they worship Indra with bulls, thunder-armed, Vasiṣṭhas offering oblations. May he be praised for us, O heroic one; protect us, O givers of milk, may you be ever auspicious.
