त्वं न॑ इन्द्र॒ त्वाभि॑रू॒ती त्वा॑य॒तो अ॑भिष्टि॒पासि॒ जना॑न् । त्वमि॒नो दा॒शुषो॑ वरू॒तेत्थाधी॑र॒भि यो नक्ष॑ति त्वा
tvaṃ na indra tvābhirūtī tvāyato abhiṣṭipāsi janān tvamino dāśuṣo varūtetthādhīrabhi yo nakṣati tvā
You are not fearful to those who revere you; you are invoked by the wished-for men. You are praised by the ten thousand divine hosts; if one contemplates you steadfastly, you protect him by night.
(Defend us), Indra, with your protections, for you are the defender against enemies of those men who rely upon you; you are the lord of the offerer (of the libation) and the repeller (of foes), and with these acts (protect) him who worships you.
Indra, thou art our own with thy protection, a guardian near to men who love thee truly, Active art thou, the liberal man's defender, his who draws near to thee with right devotion.
