These, indeed, are your deeds, O Indra, fashioned by wisdom for the seers’ benefit. But you, mighty Indra, do not listen to my weak speech; grant the hymn.

These wise celebrators (of holy rites) repeatedly propitiate you with pious praise for the acceptance ofthe sacrifice; do you, opulent Indra, who are entitled to praise, hear our invocation like one who listens to what hedesires.

For these, the bards and singers, have cried out to thee with prayer, to gain the sacrifice. As such, O Maghavan, Indra, who lovest song, even as a lover bear my call.
