May the songs for you, Vasus, make Indra famed, mighty in battle; we, extolling with great song, called to the ritual, invoked him, the doer of deeds.

Thronging together, (worship) for your protection Indra full of might and the revealer of wealth; (worshiphim), chanting the Bṛhat-sāman at his sacrifice where the Soma is effused, I invoke him as (men invoke) abeneficent master of a household.

SCARCELY was Satakratu, born when of his Mother he inquired, Who are the mighty? Who are famed?
