Like Indra we offered night and called for well-being; together we mounted the boat like a bark. Earth, abundant and deep, do not go left nor be taken by enemies afar.

Repeatedly invoking the liberality (of Tārkṣya), as (we do that) of Indra, let us mount upon it for ourwelfare as upon a ship; O heaven and earth, vast, expanded, manifold, profound, may we not suffer harm nowfrom (Tārkṣya's) coming to or departing from you.

As though we offered up our gifts to Indra, may we ascend. him as a ship. for safety. Like the two wide worlds, broad, deep far-extended, may we be safe both when he comes and leaves you.
