ṛjīṣī vajrī vṛṣabhasturāṣāṭ chuṣmī rājā vṛtrahā somapāvā yuktvā haribhyāmupa yāsadarvāṅmādhyaṃdine savane matsadindraḥ
O radiant, thunder‑armed bull, mighty ruler, slayer of Vritra, Soma‑drinker! Having yoked horses to the chariots of the Hari‑folk, he advanced at mid‑day; Indra took his seat in the assembly.
May the accepter of the spiritless libation, the wilder of the thunderbolt, the showerer (of benefits), the overcomer of quick- (flying foes), the mighty, the monarch, the slayer of Vṛtra, the drinker of the Soma, having harnessed his horses, come down (to us); may Indra be exhilarated at the mid-day sacrifice.
Impetuous, Thunderer, Strong, quelling the mighty, King, potent, Vrtra-slayer, Soma-drinker, May he come hither with his yoked Bay Horses; may Indra gladden him at the noon libation.
