Indra did not withhold power from his sons as a father. May our priest teach us rites in this life; may he be our shining light and strength.
Bring to us, Indra, wisdom, as a father (gives knowledge) to his sons; bestow wealth upon us on thisoccasion, you the invoked of many, so that we, living at the solemnity may (long) enjoy the light (of existence).
O Indra, give us wisdom as a sire gives wisdom to his sons. Guide us, O Much-invoked, in this our way may we still live and look upon the light.
