Why, O mighty Indra, do you come forth so often, assembled, to the good lord? What is this? You ask about the brave in battle; speak auspiciously—may the Hari bring to us what is ours.
(The Maruts): Indra, lord of the good, whither do you, who are entitled to honour, proceed alone; what means this (absence of attendance); when followed (by us), you require (what is right); lord of fleet horses say to us, with plural asant words, that which you (have to say) to us.
Whence comest thou alone, thou who art mighty, Indra, Lord of the Brave? What is thy purpose? Thou greetest us when meeting us the Bright Ones. Lord of Bay Steeds, say what thou hast against us.
