viśveṣu hi tvā savaneṣu tuñjate samānamekaṃ vṛṣamaṇyavaḥ pṛthaksvaḥ saniṣyavaḥ pṛthak taṃ tvā nāvaṃ na parṣaṇiṃ śūṣasya dhuri dhīmahi indraṃ na yajñaiścitayanta āyavaḥ stomebhirindramāyavaḥ
Among all hosts and assemblies you alone stand apart as one; bulls differ, distinct, apart. We do not strike you down; we think upon the strong one’s chariot. Indra is not to be seized by sacrifices alone; by hymns and by calls they sought Indra.
Hoping to partake of your bounties, (your worshippers) hasten severally in every rite to (adore) you, who ask one and all; each severally seeking heaven. We meditate on you, the sustainer of our strength, like a boat that bears (passengers) across (a stream); mortals, indeed, knowing Indra, propitiate him with sacrifices; mortals (propitiate him) with hymns.
In all libations men with hero spirit urge the Universal One, each seeking several light, each fain to win the light apart. Thee, furthering like a ship, will we set to the chariot-pole of strength, As men who win with sacrifices Indra's thought, men who win Indra with their lauds.
