Wealth is not Indra; he who brings intense soma upon us grants much. For him may foes and hostile bands be repelled — in the morning his swift dogs slay the Vrtra.
The bearer of the oblation who offers to Indra the sharp Soma, like much moveable wealth (given tothe poor)-- for him in the fore part of the day Indra scatters his eager and well-armed (enemies), and defeats hisfoe.
Whoso with plenteous food for him expresses strong Somas as much quickly-coming treasure, For him he overthrows in early morning his swift well-weaponed foes, and slays the tyrant.
