वस्या॑ँ इन्द्रासि मे पि॒तुरु॒त भ्रातु॒रभु॑ञ्जतः । मा॒ता च॑ मे छदयथः स॒मा व॑सो वसुत्व॒नाय॒ राध॑से
vasyām̐ indrāsi me pituruta bhrāturabhuñjataḥ mātā ca me chadayathaḥ samā vaso vasutvanāya rādhase
You are Indra among friends and like a father to me; partake as brother. Cover my mother; grant unity, dwelling in riches for the generous one’s favor.
You are more precious, Indra, than my father, or than my brother, who is not affectionate; you, giver ofdwellings, are equal to my mother, for you both render me distinguished on account of celebrity and riches.
O Indra, thou art more to me than sire or niggard brother is. Thou and my mother, O Good Lord, appear alike, to give me wealth abundantly.
