सो चि॒न्नु सख्या॒ नर्य॑ इ॒नः स्तु॒तश्च॒र्कृत्य॒ इन्द्रो॒ माव॑ते॒ नरे॑ । विश्वा॑सु धू॒र्षु वा॑ज॒कृत्ये॑षु सत्पते वृ॒त्रे वा॒प्स्व१॒॑भि शू॑र मन्दसे
so cinnu sakhyā narya inaḥ stutaścarkṛtya indro māvate nare viśvāsu dhūrṣu vājakṛtyeṣu satpate vṛtre vāpsva1bhi śūra mandase
He cut off the friendship of men; praised in song, Indra did not delight in men. All born ones, in fierce deeds, in mighty acts and in waters and roads, the hero stood firm and pleased at the stallions.
That Indra, kind to man, the lord of all, who is praised by his friend, is to be repeatedly honoured bymen like me; you, hero, protector of the good, are glorified in the all-sustaining food-producing cloud-imprisonedwaters.
He with his friend is active, lauded, good to man, Indra who must be glorified by one like me. Hero, Lord of the brave, all cars are thy delight, warring with Vrtra, or for waters, or for spoil.
