asyedeva pra ririce mahitvaṃ divaspṛthivyāḥ paryantarikṣāt svarāḷindro dama ā viśvagūrtaḥ svariramatro vavakṣe raṇāya
May this godly gift increase greatness from the wide heavens to earth and through the midspace. Indra, the puissant, endowed with power, bearer of fame—may he speak forth heroic deeds for battle.
His magnitude verily exceeds that of the heaven, and earth and sky; Indra, self-irradiating in his dwelling, equal to every exploit, engaged with no unworthy foe, and killed in conflict, calls to battle.
Yea, of a truth, his magnitude surpasseth the magnitude of earth, mid-air, and heaven. Indra, approved by all men, self-resplendent, waxed in his home, loud-voiced and strong for battle.
