1.  Where [is] listened-to Indra? In which person
    nowadays he is being listened to as if a patron,
    [where is a person,] who in the abode of seers,
    or in a secret place praises [him] with a chant?

2.  Here [is] listened-to Indra nowadays, in us¹.
    In [the] eulogy [he is] a thunderbolt-wielder [who is] sought with a verse,
    who, as if a patron, has produced in [these] folks
    the [sense of] worth [that is,] moreover, not premature,

3.  who [is] overseer of great power to change [that is,] moreover, not premature,
    [who is] having ways to promote great courage,
    [who is] a bearer of the daring thunderbolt
    like a father [is] of a dear son.

4.  Yoking two tumultuous horses of Wind,
    the deva, [yoking] two flowing through brilliant path
    [horses] of deva, O thunderbolt-bearer,
    releasing [them] towards pathways, he is praised.

5.  Thou approached the two horses of Wind,
    going-straight ones in order to really convey [thee],
    [the two horses] which [neither] a deva, nor a mortal,
    will tame --- no one [such] is to be found.

6.  Now, Uśanas asks you two² who are approaching,
    ``Having what purpose [are you coming] to our house?
    You two came from a distance,
    from the Heaven and from the Earth to a mortal.''

7.  [But if] thou, O Indra, would ask us
    about our undertaken formulation,
    [we will answer,] ``We implore thee for that favour
    that thou shall slay unintelligent Śuṣṇa.''

8.  ``Not-performing-good-works unthinking unintelligent opposed to (self-imposed) constraints
    impulse to suffer want is against us.
    Do thou, O slayer of hostiles,
    make his, demon's, destructive weapon to abandon [him]!''

9.  [Be] thou with agents of change for us, O agent of change Indra,
    and [we will be] certainly helped by thee.
    In many ways those desirous of reward as [well as] trembling ones
    shall find their way to thee.

10. Thou should have impelled those men [who were] in misery
    to slay Vṛtra, O thunderbolt-bearing agent of change!
    If in a secret place of poets, [formulations of those members] of clans
    who attained some degrees of the power-to-change, [would be undertaken],

11. they³ [will] promptly [become] of thee, O Indra, [who is] abounding in gifts,
    in him who has attained [the power-to-change], O thunderbolt-bearing agent of change,
    when thou would make everything born of Śuṣṇa
    together with accompanying [effects] to abandon [him].

12. May not [thy,] O agent of change Indra, 
    beneficial assistances become going-nowhere in us!
    May we, each one of us, be in the favour 
    of these thy [powers], O thunderbolt-bearer!

13. May those [formulations] of thee, O Indra, be true for us!
    Trials [are] not hurting.
    Let us find out advantages of which [thy powers]
    [are] as if of milch-cows, O thunderbolt-bearer!

14. When the Earth that is without hands and feet⁴ shall become strong
    by means of enabling powers of to-be-found-out [advantages],
    thou has fully transfixed Śuṣṇa from left [side of head⁵] to the right [side⁶] ---
    for the sake of agitating everything [energy].

15. Just drink and drink Soma, O agent of change Indra!
    Being beneficial, do not fail, O whose wealth is breath one!
    And, do protect extolling [thee] generous [institutors of the sacrifice]⁷,
    and effect for us great riches from the opulent one!

1.  We honor¹ Indra whose thunderbolt is dexterous,
    a charioteer of reluctant tawny ones,
    Blowing into beard², he shall become elevated³,
    being liberal with missiles, with satisfaction of [his] desire.

2.  Now then, two tawny ones of this one which [are active], when [there is] an earnest desire, are known as a beneficial [presence].
    [In that case,] generous with rewards Indra shall become Vṛtra-slayer.
    Skillful rush of vigour, being a basis of Ṛbʰu-s, governs the impulse to change.
    [Thus] I blunt the very nature of the savage one.

3.  Whenever he, generous, famed from old times, contended for by institutors of sacrifice,
    resorts to the golden thunderbolt,
    he also resorts to a chariot which its two tawny ones draw.
    Indra is overseer of a rush of vigour of which auditory impression is long-lasting.

4.  Also, by accompanying his own [means of helping], that are part of the herd, he at once [becomes] [like] rain.
    Indra sprinkles hairs of the beard with enchanted [verses].
    He seeks to snatch well-sheltered⁴ in extracted [Soma] honey,
    he just shakes [it] out the way the wind [shakes] a thicket.

5.  Who by means of speech has slayed making diverging statements [all-consuming fears = atriṇas], [demons] whose speech is insulting,
    many thousands inciting reactive impulsiveness [mental defenses⁵],
    it is just this his manly deed that we extol,⁶
    [his,] who, like a father [strengthens his] power to control, has strengthened the power to change.

6.  Vimada-s have produced an original best-among-many
    hymn of praise to thee, O Indra, to munificent one ---
    since we know the source of pleasure of him, of infusing strength one,
    which [source of pleasure] we would bring near [thee] like cowherd [brings] kine [near cowshed].

7.  Let not our --- of thee, O Indra, and of seer Vimada ---
    fellowships become deprived of this [source of thy pleasure].
    Since we know thy, O deva, foreseeing care [to be] like a sister,
    may thy fellowships be for us destroying reactive impulsiveness!

1.  O Indra, drink this Soma, 
    [which was] pressed out into bowl, [which is] rich in honey!
    Make the treasure to be established in us ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    [the treasure] leading to a thousand different things, O one of many benefits,
    so that thou would intensify thyself.

2.  We betake ourselves to thee with fire offerings
    with recited verses, with oblations,
    O master of enabling powers, of enabling [thy worshipers] powers ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    set up for us most excellent, to-be-chosen [treasure],
    so that thou would intensify thyself.

3.  Thou, who [are] the overseer of the to-be-chosen [treasure],
    are inciter of a meek [man],
    O Indra, [thou are] a helper of praisers ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    protect us from hatred, from anxiety,
    so that thou would intensify.

4.  You two, empowering, possessing the power to configure [one's cognition],
    churned out the two¹ going along with another.
    When implored by Vimada,
    O two Nāsatya-s, you churned [them] out.

5.  Between the two² flying out, going along with another,
    all deva-s lamented.
    Deva-s said to two Nāsatya-s,
    ``Would you two bring [them] back!''

6.  ``Sweet is my departure.''³
    ``Sweet is [my] coming back.''⁴
    [Being] such, O two deva-s, using [your] divinity,
    make us rich in honey!

1.  Would thou also fan for us an auspicious state of mind,
    mental power and resourcefulness!
    Then in-tune with thee, [with] the herb ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    they¹ shall rejoice like cows on a grassy mead,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.

2.  Thine touching in the heart [drops] abide,
    O Soma, in every abode.
    Thus these my desires ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    stand still, [they that are] seeking wealth ---
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.
------

3.  When in ignorance I violate 
    thine, O Soma, observances
    then as father [would] a son ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    spare us even from a deadly weapon,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.

4.  Visions come forth together 
    like streams [that comes together] to hollows [in the ground].
    Do maintain, O Soma, our resourcefulness to live ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    as [we maintain] cups [with Soma full]
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.

5.  They², dispassionate 
    through thine, O Soma, powers,
    facilitating contemplations of judicious, energetic [worshiper] ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    reveal the enclosure [of the Heaven]³ rich in cows, possessed of horses,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.
------

6.  Thou guard our kine;
    in many ways thou bring together for the sake of life
    the stationary and the moving.
    Versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    [thou are] surveying all places of existence,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.

7.  O Soma, everywhere do become for us
    a cowherd worthy of trust!
    Remove failings, O king!
    Versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    may not he⁴, malevolent, reign over us,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.

8.  For our sake, thou, O Soma, skillful
    familiar with localities⁵, favourable to men, do be awake ---
    for the sake of to-be-maintained mental and bodily vigour!
    Versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    do protect us from spite [and] anxiety,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.
------

9.  Thou, O best slayer of Vṛtra-s for us,
    [are], O Indu, the benevolent friend of Indra
    when they call upon him in a hostile encounter ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    [when] those fighting during acquisition of offsprings [call upon Indra] ---
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.
------

10. This one⁶ indeed --- he is an overpowering intoxication,
    the favorite of Indra, he shall augment [himself].
    This one⁷ of great Kakṣīvat ---
    versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    shall make a mental gesture of the inspired [worshiper] robust,
    so that [in your Vimada] thou would intensify.

11. This one⁸ for the inspired worshiper
    gives rise to possessing of cows rushes of vigour,
    this one is better than seven.
    Versus [how it is] in your intoxication ---
    he should have carried the blind and lame over [the barriers causing blindness and lameness]
    so that [in your Vimada] thou⁹ would intensify.

1.  Such violent burst shall be easy for me, O invoker,
    when I wish to help pressing[-Soma] sacrificer.
    I am a destroyer of not-giving-the-mixture¹ one,
    of bending-the-truth, of assisting to employing-deceit one.
    [Invoker:]

2.  If only I, in order to wage war, would bring together
    non-seeking-deva, [but] recklessly bold by themselves ones,
    for thee I will cook at home concentrated² resembling-a-bull one³,
    I shall pour into [thee] pungent extracted [consisting of] fifteen [portions] [drink].
    [Indra:]

3.  I do not know him, who,
    having slain non-seeking-deva ones in a combat,
    when he related [account of] the violent combat, [would] say thus,
    ``Surely, afterwards they [will] proclaim for me two resembling-a-bull ones⁴''

4.  When I was in non-experienced-[me] enclosures,
    all were equally ``generous'' to me.
    Either I win over assisting [me man] when [he is] dwelling in peace,
    or I shall wear [him] out him on a mountain by seizing [him] by the foot⁵.

5.  They certainly do not restrain me in a sacrificial enclosure,
    neither [do mountains restrain me]. If I intend [so],
    deficient-in-ear one would be afraid of my roar,
    just so that the dust⁶ shall be raised throughout the days.
