वि॒षू॒वृदिन्द्रो॒ अम॑तेरु॒त क्षु॒धः स इद्रा॒यो म॒घवा॒ वस्व॑ ईशते । तस्येदि॒मे प्र॑व॒णे स॒प्त सिन्ध॑वो॒ वयो॑ वर्धन्ति वृष॒भस्य॑ शु॒ष्मिणः॑
viṣūvṛdindro amateruta kṣudhaḥ sa idrāyo maghavā vasva īśate tasyedime pravaṇe sapta sindhavo vayo vardhanti vṛṣabhasya śuṣmiṇaḥ
Indra, the slayer of Vritra, with strong desire stirred up appetite; these swift winds increase the streams like the bulls’ vigor. Thus the seven saviors grow, augmenting the bull’s subtle strength.
May Indra be the remover of thirst and hunger, for he, Maghavat, is lord over precious riches; theseseven rivers of the powerful showerer, (Indra), flowing down a declivity, augment food.
From indigence and hunger Indra turns away: Maghavan hath dominion over precious wealth. These the Seven Rivers flowing on their downward path increase the vital vigour of the potent Steer.
