You afflict like a bull the peoples; with anger you grind the hostile. Make known to us the mighty possessor of wealth—his body is in the waters, in the sun.
Such, Indra, as you are represented in holy texts, assail (our) adversaries with fierceness like (that of) a bull in close conflict; regard yourself as our defender in war, (that we may long enjoy) posterity, water, and the sight of the) sun.
Rcisama, thou forcest men as with a bull, with anger, in the furious fray. Be thou our Helper in the mighty battle fought for sunlight, water, and for life.
