You are not Indra by words alone; you are famed in deeds, O bolt‑bearer. Your heroes filled cities and renewed them like new moments.
Hero, Indra, withh the hero (Maruts defend) us; that protected by you (we may be able) to overcome(our enemies); your blessings are diffused among many (praisers), as men (repair to their lord).
Hero with Heroes, thou art ours: yea, strong are they whom thou dost help. In many a place are thy full gifts, and men, like vassals, sing thy praise.
