He does not despise excess, whose mind is adorned by the foremost of powers, by terrible, fierce energies. Consider him like ancient heroes. All the former offerings are yours; the fires have our tastes, the fires have not lacked for us.

Humble the adversary of every one (your worshippers) fierce (Indra), by your aids, like radiant paths, (to glory); by your powerful aids, gude us, hero, as you have guided our forefathers, for you are honoured (by all). You (Indra), who are the sustainer (of the world), remove all (the sins) of man; present at our sacrifice, you are the bearer (of good things).

Bow down the overweening pride of every foe with succour like to kindling-wood in fiercest flame, with mighty succour, Mighty One. Guide us, thou Hero, as of old, so art thou counted blameless still. Thou drivest, as a Priest, all sins of man away, as Priest, in person, seeking us.
