satrāsāho janabhakṣo janaṃsahaścyavano yudhmo anu joṣamukṣitaḥ vṛtaṃcayaḥ sahurirvikṣvārita indrasya vocaṃ pra kṛtāni vīryā
Foeman of the satra, devourer of men, enduring of peoples, rushing in battle, strong in heroic might—behold the brave were seen and praised; they spoke of Indra’s deeds of valour.
I proclaim the mighty exploits of that Indra, who is, ever victorious; the benefactor of man, the overthrower of (the strong) man, the caster down (of foes), the warrior, who is gratified by our libations, the granter of desires, the subduer of enemies, the refuge of the people.
Still Victor, loved by mortals, ruler over men, o'erthrower, warrior, he hath waxen as he would; Host-gatherer, triumphant, honoured mid the folk. Indra's heroic deeds will I tell forth to all.
