Grant to us immortality, strong and heroic, as you, O gods, are like mighty waters in action. Outward like Indra's bolt be our thoughts; may all the worlds be victorious by righteous minds.
Gods, I solicit of you immortality and excellent male offspring, that I may offer you adoration. I causeIndra to take the thunderbolt in his hands, wherewith he may overcome all these hostile hosts.
So will I win you strength and life for ever. O Gods, that I may give you room and freedom. To Indra's arms would I consign the thunder; in all these battles shall he then be victor.
