I invoke for you the striving of the kine, O friend, the staff that urges on the herd; I call that bearer of Brahman.

I invoke the ancient Indra, the giver of iches, (our) friend, the encourager of his adorers, who is to be propitiated by prayer.

I call the ancient Friend, allied with wealth, who speeds the lowly man, Him to whom chiefly prayer is brought.
