1

With power and strength, O Mighty God, come to us; be the augmenter, Indra, of these riches; Strong Thunderer, Lord of men, for potent valour, for manly exploits and for high dominion.

2

Invoke you, in the din of battle, heroes invoke you in the fray for life and sunlight. Among all people you are the foremost fighter; give our enemies easy slaughter.

3

When fair bright days shall dawn upon us, O Indra, and you bring your banner near in battle, Agni the Asura shall sit as herald, calling gods hither for our great good fortune.

4

We are yours, Indra, both those who praise you and those who give rich gifts, O God and Hero. Grant to our princes excellent protection, may they grow old and remain strong and happy.

5

We will address this generous Lord, this Indra who grants us riches: Bestower of the singer’s prayer and praises. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
