म॒रुत्व॑न्तं वृष॒भं वा॑वृधा॒नमक॑वारिं दि॒व्यं शा॒समिन्द्र॑म् । वि॒श्वा॒साह॒मव॑से॒ नूत॑नायो॒ग्रं स॑हो॒दामि॒ह तं हु॑वेम
marutvantaṃ vṛṣabhaṃ vāvṛdhānamakavāriṃ divyaṃ śāsamindram viśvāsāhamavase nūtanāyograṃ sahodāmiha taṃ huvema
I invoke the Maruts’ bull, increaser of vigor, heavenly ruler Indra’s power; I call together the trusted ones anew—this fierce radiance I offer in prayer.
We invoke to this sacrifice for present protection Indra, the chief of the Maruts, the showerer (of benefits) augmenting (in glory), overcoming many foes, divine regulator (of good and ill), the subduer of all (enemies), the fierce, the bestower of strength.
The Bull whose strength hath waxed, whom Maruts follow, free-giving Indra, the celestial Ruler, Mighty, all-conquering, the victory-giver, him let us call to grant us new protection.
