इन्द्रो॑ अश्रायि सु॒ध्यो॑ निरे॒के प॒ज्रेषु॒ स्तोमो॒ दुर्यो॒ न यूपः॑ । अ॒श्व॒युर्ग॒व्यू र॑थ॒युर्व॑सू॒युरिन्द्र॒ इद्रा॒यः क्ष॑यति प्रय॒न्ता
indro aśrāyi sudhyo nireke pajreṣu stomo duryo na yūpaḥ aśvayurgavyū rathayurvasūyurindra idrāyaḥ kṣayati prayantā
Indra, protecting, ample, single among the tribes, the praised—no foe is able to equal you. Horse-strong, kine-strong, chariot-strong, wealthy—Indra destroys foes like torrents when they press forward.
Indra has been had recourse to, that he may assist the pious in their distress. Praise by the Pajras, is (as stable) as the post of a doorway. Indra, the giver of riches, who is possessed of (who desires to possess, expecting as gifts from the instrumental tutor of the ceremony) horses, cattle, chariots and wealth is present.
The good man's refuge in his need is Indra, firm as a doorpost, praised among the Pajras. Indra alone is Lord of wealth, the Giver, lover of riches, chariots, kine, and horses.
