Hear, O hero, the fierce one restraining the fierce; he binds those who differ and leads them away. The humbled and the hard‑to‑approach king is tamed — thus Indra overcomes men.

The hero Indra is renowned; humiliating every formidable (foe), and repeatedly changing the plural ce of one (worshipper) with that of another; Indra, the enemy of the arrogant, the soverign of both (heaven and earth), calls again and again (to encourage) the men who are his worshippers.

Famed is the Hero as each strong man's tamer, ever advancing one and then another. King of both worlds, hating the high and haughty, Indra protects the men who are his people.
