सं घोषः॑ शृण्वेऽव॒मैर॒मित्रै॑र्ज॒ही न्ये॑ष्व॒शनिं॒ तपि॑ष्ठाम् । वृ॒श्चेम॒धस्ता॒द्वि रु॑जा॒ सह॑स्व ज॒हि रक्षो॑ मघवन्र॒न्धय॑स्व
saṃ ghoṣaḥ śaṛṇve'vamairamitrairjahī nyeṣvaśaniṃ tapiṣṭhām vṛścemadhastādvi rujā sahasva jahi rakṣo maghavanrandhayasva
Hear our shout: thus, O foes and friends, conquer the resisting ones in battle. Break, O Mighy One, the stronghold of foes; Indra, protect and ruin them, O generous One.
The sound (of your bolt) has been heard by the approaching foes; hurl upon them the consuming thunder-bolt, cut them up by the root, oppose; Maghavan, overcome, slay the rākṣasas, complete (the sacrifice).
A cry is beard from enemies most near us: against them send thy fiercest-flaming weapon. Rend them from under, crush them and subdue them. Slay, Maghavan, and make the fiends our booty.
