With ears attentive to the hymn and mind fixed on the sacrifice, heed my word. Indra, accept this praise of mine; make it potent within, uniting inner and outer.

Oh! your whose ears hear all things, listen quickly to my invocation; hold in your heart my praises; keep near to you this my hymn, as it were (the words of) a friend.

Hear, thou whose ear is quick, my call; take to thee readily my songs O Indra, let this laud of mine come nearer even than thy friend.
