One slays the Vṛtras among the assemblies, another always guards the rites. We invoke you, O strong ones, with splendid vows; Indra and Varuna grant us shelter and honor.
One of you destroys enemies inbattle, the other ever protects religious observances; we invoke you,showerers (of benefits), with praises; bestow upon us, Indra and Varuṇa, felicity.
One of you Twain destroys the Vrtras in the fight, the Other evermore maintains his holy Laws. We call on you, ye Mighty, with our hymns of praise. Vouchsafe us your protection, Indra-Varuna.
