Indu, bearer of strength, shines; the Soma accompanied Indra in might and delight. He destroys demons, averts harm, and like floods makes the king’s herds prosperous.
The powerful, flowing Soma having quantities o fjuice flowing down, streams forth infusing strength into Indra for his exhilaration; conferring wealth the king of strength slays the rākṣasas and harasses the enemy.
Strong Indu, bathed in milk, flows on for Indra, Soma exciting strength, to make him joyful. He quells malignities and slays the demons, the King of mighty power who brings us comfort.
