This homage to the bull, to your self-rule, to truth and vigor I address unto you. All our heroes in this assembly, with your suns as witnesses, will grant me shelter and renown.
This adoration is offered to the shedder of rain, the self-resplendent, the possessor of true vigour, the mighty; may we be aided, Indra, in his conflict, by many heroes, and abide in a prosperoud (habitation, bestowed) by you.
To him the Mighty One, the self-resplendent, verily strong and great, this praise is uttered. May we and all the heroes, with the princes, be, in this fray, O Indra, in thy keeping.
