यो अश्वा॑नां॒ यो गवां॒ गोप॑तिर्व॒शी य आ॑रि॒तः कर्म॑णिकर्मणि स्थि॒रः । वी॒ळोश्चि॒दिन्द्रो॒ यो असु॑न्वतो व॒धो म॒रुत्व॑न्तं स॒ख्याय॑ हवामहे
yo aśvānāṃ yo gavāṃ gopatirvaśī ya āritaḥ karmaṇikarmaṇi sthiraḥ vīḷościdindro yo asunvato vadho marutvantaṃ sakhyāya havāmahe
He who is lord of horses and cows, the herdsman, master of deeds, steady in action; Indra who, bearing the ruin for his foe, is the slayer—Marut-like one—let us sacrifice for friendship.
Who is th elord over all horses and cattle, who is independent, who, propitiated by praise, is constant in every act, and who is the slayer of the obstinate abstainer from libations; we invoke to become our friend, Indra, attended by the Maruts.
He who is Lord and Master of the steeds and kine, honoured -the firm and sure- at every holy act; Stayer even of the strong who pours no offering out, -him girt by Maruts we invoke to be our Friend.
