If these people praise Indra and Agni like us, then O voice, come near. May we with men and kine win favor, conquer the wild—men dwelling in the forest, many heavens alike.
Inasmuch as these people honour Indra and Agni with gifts and with praises, so may we, defying hosts,overcome (our foes) with our warriors; let us praise those seeking praise; may all our adversaries perish.
What time with this same song these men call Indra-Agni sundry ways, May we with our own heroes quell those who provoke us to the fight, and conquer those who strive with us.
