त्वां ह॒ त्यदि॒न्द्रार्ण॑सातौ॒ स्व॑र्मीळ्हे॒ नर॑ आ॒जा ह॑वन्ते । तव॑ स्वधाव इ॒यमा स॑म॒र्य ऊ॒तिर्वाजे॑ष्वत॒साय्या॑ भूत्
tvāṃ ha tyadindrārṇasātau svarmīḷhe nara ājā havante tava svadhāva iyamā samarya ūtirvājeṣvatasāyyā bhūt
When you, Indra, in your might like a flood, overwhelmed men and took away their strength, their offerings fell low. Your swift-armed power went forth among the warriors; you have been present in the heroic host.
Men invoke you, such as you are, in the thick-throned and wealth-bestowing conflict. May this your succour, powerful Indra, ever be granted in war, worthy to be enjoyed (by warriors) in battle.
Hence men invoke thee, Indra, in the tumult of battle, in the light-bestowing conflict. This aid of thine, O Godlike One, was ever to be implored in deeds of might in combat.
