He resplendent, invoked for heroism and libations, the warrior men set in motion what they would do. Young men went forth, the protectors, not Indra of breath only but great in might.

The fierce and powerful (Indra) has been born for heroic (deeds); friendly to man, he is theaccomplisher of whatever act he undertakes to perform; ever youthful, he invests the (sacrificial) hall withdefences (against interruption); be our preserver, Indra, from heinous sin.
