Make for us the highest rains, the elder ones; bring forth the men and the strong mares with our comrades. Make for us pleasant fortresses, break and slay the hostile rocks of the mortal.
Enduring Indra, bestow upon us energies, excellent, superior, powerful; bring under subjection to us enemies deserving of death; demolish the weapon of the malevolent man.
Ever by us perform thy most heroic, thine highest, best victorious deeds, O Victor. For us make Vrtras easy to be conquered: destroy the weapon of our mortal foeman.
