Not by sacrifice did Indra contend, nor by worship with offerings known; he, the upholder of the sea, spared even the hostile gods; give us greatness, O divine ones, do not withhold.

Let not th rākṣasas, Indra, do us harm; let not the evil spirits do harm to our progeny, most powerful(Indra); let the sovereign lord, (Indra), exert himself (in the restraint) of disorderly beings, so that the unchastemay not disturb our rite.

No evil spirits have impelled us, Indra, nor fiends, O Mightiest God, with their devices. Let our true God subdue the hostile rabble: let not the lewd approach our holy worship.
