ते त्वा॒ मदा॑ इन्द्र मादयन्तु शु॒ष्मिणं॑ तुवि॒राध॑सं जरि॒त्रे । एको॑ देव॒त्रा दय॑से॒ हि मर्ता॑न॒स्मिञ्छू॑र॒ सव॑ने मादयस्व
te tvā madā indra mādayantu śuṣmiṇaṃ tuvirādhasaṃ jaritre eko devatrā dayase hi martānasmiñchūra savane mādayasva
Indra, may they intoxicate you with draughts on the subtle threshold, they who inspire you with might. One god alone gives compassion to mortals; O hero, intoxicate the host with sacrifice.
May these inebriating draughts exhilarate you, Indra; bestow upon the praiser (a son vigorous andwealthy); for you alone among the gods are compassionate to mortals; be exhilarated here at this sacrifice.
So may these gladdening draughts rejoice thee, Indra, the Mighty, very bounteous to the singer. Alone among the Gods thou pitiest mortals: O Hero, make thee glad at this libation.
