1

Invoke the Soma drink, come with your bay steeds, Thunder-armed one Come, Indra, hitherward to me.

2

Our priest is seated, true to time; the grass is regularly strewn; The pressing-stones were set at dawn.

3

These prayers, O you who hear prayer, are offered to you: sit on the grass. Hero, enjoy the offered cake.

4

O Vṛtra-slayer, may you be pleased with these libations, with these hymns, Song-loving Indra, with our praises.

5

Our hymns caress the Lord of Strength, vast, drinker of the Soma’s juice, Indra, as mother-cows their calf.

6

Delight you with the juice we pour for your great generosity: Do not yield your singer to blame.

7

We, Indra, dearly love you, offering sacrifice, sing to you You, Vasu, dearly love us.

8

You to whom your bays are dear, do not let your horses stray from us: Here, Indra, divine lord, may you be pleased.

9

May long-maned coursers, dripping oil, bring you swiftly to this car, Indra, to seat you on the grass.
