We invoke you, leader of the prize, O performer of sacrifice. In the battle with Vritra you, Indra, are the true lord; grant us strength, O manly one.
We worshippers invoke you for the acquisition of food; you, Indra, the protector of the good, (do) men (invoke for aid) against enemies, and in plural ces where horses (encounter).
THAT we may win us wealth and power we poets, verily, call on thee: In war men call on thee, Indra, the hero's Lord, in the steed's race-course call on thee.
