You, O Indra, harness the chariot with wisdom, bring the eager waters, lead the life-breath. Make swift the mind for the desired attainment, make powerful the victorious one. From us I invoke with truth this speech; I do not invoke it in vain.
Indra, frequenter of sacrifices, quickly enable him to attain his desires, to whom you repair in your car to receive the oblation; and for whom, as he is mature (in understanding) and devout, you who are without fault, entertain regard. Accept his offering, for you who are without fault, are prompt to favour us (among) the pious (offerrs of oblations) as (you accept) this our praise.
THE car which Indra, thou, for service of the Gods though it be far away, O swift One, bringest near, which, Blameless One, thou bringest near, Place swiftly nigh us for our help: be it thy will that it be strong. Blameless and active, hear this speech of orderers, this speech of us like orderers.
