All the gods followed Indra's might to perform the rite. He is the protector of the world, nourisher of the people — these are Indra's auspicious nights.

Indra, by the example of your power and knowledge the gods attain the same; O hymned by many, youare herdsman of the universe; Indra's gifts are worthy of praise.

For Atri ye, O Asvins, made a dwellingplace to shield him well, Let your protecting help be near.
