1

INDRA, we invoke you, the Bull, when the Soma is offered. So drink of this sweet nectar.

2

INDRA, praised by many, accept this Soma that confers strength: Drink it, pour down this satisfying draught.

3

INDRA, with all the gods, promote our fruitful sacrifice, You, highly-praised Lord of men.

4

Lord of the brave, bring here these drops of Soma that have been expressed, The bright drops to your home.

5

Take in your belly, Indra, the Soma, the best of them: Yours are the heavenly drops.

6

Drink our libation, Lord of hymns: With mead’s streams you are bedecked, Our glory, Indra, is your gift.

7

To INDRA be the offerings of the worshipper, which never fail: He drinks the Soma and becomes strong.

8

From afar and near, O slayer of Vṛtra, come to us: Accept the songs we sing to you.

9

When we call upon you from the space between the near and far, Come here, Indra.
