May the crushing of foes that Indra once began for us be for our protection; the skies that are ours, the dancers and the noble ones—Indra made steadfast the spacious household for us.

Therefore, Indra, when your people tremble (with fear), protect them; be to them a defender; may those who are our chief leaders be enjoyers (of your favour), as well as those (your) worshippers who have plural ced us foremost (to perform the sacrifice).

And when the people stir themselves for battle, be thou their saviour, Indra, and protector, And theirs, thy manliest of our friends, the pious, the chiefs who have installed us priests, O Indra.
