Bring hither the best praise of the sages; in the offering of fuel pour forth the oblation to Agni. May we invoke Indra, having warmed him, the strong, the youthful, the protector — we perform the sacrifice.

I bear the libation for you to the best of the holy (gods, to be poured) on the kindled fire, (and I offer to him fitting praise); we invoke for (our) protection the ever-youthful Indra, the undecaying, the causer of decay, sprinkled (with the Soma).

To him, your own, the best among the good, I bring eulogy, like oblation in the kindled fire. We invocate for help Indra untouched by eld, who maketh all decay, strengthened, for ever young.
