O Indra, exalted in might, songs and praises are with Soma and the ascetic chiefs as rulers; the singer, puissant with hymns, has the kingly tongue and fame.

At the rites at which soma (is offered) the exhilaration (produced) in Indra is a shower (of benefits to the offerer); so is the chanted hymn with the (recited) prayer, therefore the drinker of the soma, the partaker of the stale soma, Maghavan, is to be propitiated by men with praises; dweller in heaven, he is the lord of sacred songs, unwearied in the protection (of his votaries).

STRONG rapturous joy, praise, glory are with Indra: impetuous God, he quaffs the juice of Soma: That Maghavan whom men must laud with singing, Heaven-dweller, King of songs, whose help is lasting.
