Indra, conqueror among men, brave in hosts, listener to the praise, did not let the sacrifice be slain; the chariot-driver, the ten-horseman, rose with speech—indeed he was born through his own spirit.
Indra, the hero, the victor in battles, along with the leaders (of his hosts, the Maruts), will hear the invocation of his supplicating worshipper, and when disposed to accept his praises, will, of his own accord, drive his chariot close to the donor (of the oblation).
Victorious with the men, Hero in battles, Indra, who hearsthe singer's supplication, Will bring his car nigh to the man who offers, if he himself upholds the songs that praise him.
