By the deep one a triple band was sent forth, they who stir the ascetic streams; the standing, the upward, the high—lo, they spread round for the sacrifice.

Powerful Indra, drinker of the soma, (actuated) by a profound and comprehensive (purpose), grant us food and strength; be ever diligent, benevolent Indra, for our protection by day and by night.

Impetuous Speeder through all depth and distance, give strengthening food, thou drinker of the juices. Stand up erect to help us, unreluctant, what time the gloom of night brightens to morning.
