स त्वं न॑ इन्द्र॒ सूर्ये॒ सो अ॒प्स्व॑नागा॒स्त्व आ भ॑ज जीवशं॒से । मान्त॑रां॒ भुज॒मा री॑रिषो नः॒ श्रद्धि॑तं ते मह॒त इ॑न्द्रि॒याय॑
sa tvaṃ na indra sūrye so apsvanāgāstva ā bhaja jīvaśaṃse māntarāṃ bhujamā rīriṣo naḥ śraddhitaṃ te mahata indriyāya
You, O Indra, like the sun among waters, be our protector; partake of life and strength. Hold for us the counsel; strengthen our brave ones; may your great senses be favorable to us.
Excite in us, Indra, veneration for the sun, for the waters, and for those who are worthy of the praise of living beings, as exempt from sin; injure not our offspring while yet in the womb, for our trust is in yourmighty power.
Indra, as such, give us a share of sunlight, of waters, sinlessness, and reputation. Do thou no harm to our yet unborn offspring: our trust is in thy mighty Indra-power.
