māṃ naraḥ svaśvā vājayanto māṃ vṛtāḥ samaraṇe havante kṛṇomyājiṃ maghavāhamindra iyarmi reṇumabhibhūtyojāḥ
Men, with their own steeds, draw near me in the fight and perform the rites. Make my oblation, generous ones—O Indra, I move with the drops of rain and vigour.
Warriors well mounted, ardent for contest invoke me; selected (combatants invoke) me in battle; I, the affluent Indra, instrumental gate the conflict, and, endowed with victorious prowess, I raise up the dust (in the battle).
Heroes with noble horses, fain for battle, selected warriors, call on me in combat.
