This praise for you, Br̥haspati, well-spoken, made you mighty among the gods and the protector of Brahman. It seized the intellects, it gathered splendour, it made strong the city of men and the hosts of heroes.

This praise has been offered as prayer to you both, Brahmaṇaspati and Indra, the wielder of thethunderbolt; protect our ceremonies; hear our manifold praise; annihilate the assailing adversaries of yourworshippers.

This, Brahmanaspati, is your laudation prayer hath been made to thunderwielding Indra. Favour our songs, wake up our thought and spirit: destroy the godless and our foemen's malice.
