pṛthū karasnā bahulā gabhastī asmadrya1ksaṃ mimīhi śravāṃsi yūtheva paśvaḥ paśupā damūnā asmām̐ indrābhyā vavṛtsvājau
Broad with many folds, full of herds, summon our single-armed host; hear my call. Like a troop of cattle the drovers and herdsmen move; O Indra, go forth on our behalf.
Extend towards us your long, active, and bountiful hands, (to bring us) food; be abot us, lowly-minded Indra, in battle, as a herdsman (tends) the herds of cattle.
Stretch out those hands of thine, extend to us-ward thy wide capacious arms, and grant us glory. Like as the household herdsman guards the cattle, so move thou round about us in the combat.
