He by whom Indra, first of Soma-drinkers, is pleased, whom we honor as the protector of delight—

We solicit, most powerful Indra, who are the deep quaffer of the Soma, that exhilaration whichcontemplates (heroic deeds), whereby you slay the devourer (of men).

JOY, Mightiest Indra, known and marked, sprung most from Soma-draughts, wherewith Thou smitest down the greedy fiend, for that we long.
