arcā śakrāya śākine śacīvate śaṛṇvantamindraṃ mahayannabhi ṣṭuhi yo dhṛṣṇunā śavasā rodasī ubhe vṛṣā vṛṣatvā vṛṣabho nyṛñjate
Worship (arca) to Śakra, to the powerful one, to the mighty spouse of Śacī; hear, O Indra, as he greatly augments the sky—hail! By bold breath and by breath he roared; both bulls, becoming virile bulls, the bull exults.
Offer adoration to the wise and powerful Śakra; glorifying the listening Indra, praise him who purifies both heaven and earth by his irresistible might, who is the sender of showers, and by his bounty gratifies our desires.
Sing hymns of praise to Sakra, Lord of power and might; laud thou and magnify Indra who hearcth thee, Who with his daring might, a Bull exceeding strong in strength, maketh him master of the heaven and earth.
