Hard to harness is the horse, hard to bind is Indra’s might; hard is the wealth of cows, hard the yield of grain. The spur of worship brings forth the unattached; friend to friends, I take up this praise.

You, Indra, are the giver of horses, of cattle, or barley, the master and protector of wealth, the foremost in liberality, (the being) of many days; you disappoint not desires (addressed to you); you are a friend to our friend; such an Indra we praise.

Giver of horses, Indra, giver, thou, of kine, giver of barley, thou art Lord and guard of wealth: Man's helper from of old, not disappointing hope, Friend of our friends, to thee ,as such we sing this praise.
