yadindra pūrvo aparāya śikṣannayajjyāyānkanīyaso deṣṇam amṛta itparyāsīta dūramā citra citryaṃ bharā rayiṃ naḥ
If Indra taught the earlier and the later, establishing increase by instruction, the immortal increased far and wondrously; fill for us the wealth of cattle.
That (wealth) Indra, which the prior has given to the posterior; which the elder may accept from theyounger; with which (the son) yet living dwells far away (separated from his father), confer, wonderful Indra, suchprecious riches upon us.
Whene'er the elder fain would help the younger the greater cometh to the lesser's present. Shall the Immortal sit aloof' inactive? O Wondrous Indra, bring us wondrous riches.
