Already this morning I arrange the ornamented hymn, bearing it as a burden. The wise speak the word; the fervent one offers soma and Indra.

Direct your laudation to him, (Indra), like an archer aiming a larger arrow (to its mark), like a decorator(applying his ornaments); surpass by your praises, sages, the praises of your adversaries; delight Indraworshipper, by the (offering of the) Soma.

EVEN as an archer shoots afar his arrow, offer the laud to him with meet adornment. Quell with your voice the wicked's voice, O sages. Singer, make Indra rest beside the Soma.
