Thus Indra among men, famed in glory, stood forth like a friend; he praised the ritual and declared the acts of the worshiper.

Verily, Indra through desire of (sacrificial) food, is the devourer (of that which is presented) by (his) worshippers, and overcomes (the adversaries) of his friend; in the many-voiced assembly (of men), Indra, the faithful (performer of his promise), commending (the piety) of his worshipper, approves of the (offered) food.

Yea,Indra, with the men, through love of gloryconsumes the sacred food which friends have offered. The ever-strengthening song of him who worships is sung in fight amid the clash of voices. 5Aided by thee, O Maghavan, O Indra, may we subdue our foes who count them mighty. Be our protector, strengthen and increase us.May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
