Worship to the great splendour in the sky, the ear of speech, his own dominion whose mind is steadfast and whose heart is bold. The great-hearing Asura, the sacrificer, performed the rite; the bull indeed draws the chariot toward the gods.

Offer exhilarating praises to the great and illustrious Indra, of whom, undaunted, the steady mind is concentrated in its own firmness; for he, who is of great renown, the giver of rain, the repeller of enemies, who is obeyed his steeds, the showerer (of bounties), is hastening hither.

Sing forth to lofty Dyaus a strength-bestowing song, the Bold, whose resolute mind hath independent sway. High glory hath the Asura, compact of strength, drawn on by two Bay Steeds: a Bull, a Car is he.
