Carry forth the hymns, O bringer of thought, with the insight of minds; not for the distant floods nor rivers. Reach with wisdom the well-heard which is more beloved—let the famed seeker of truth be strong in knowledge.

Send forth your praise to mighty Indra who is borne by hymns, as (a sailor sends a traveller) in a shipacross the rivers; bring to me by your rites that wealth which belongs to him renowned and beneficent; may hespeedily give much wealth.
