1. MAY Indra come to us, he who knows rightly to give forth treasures from his store of riches.
     Even as a thirsty steer who roams the deserts may he drink eagerly the milked-out Soma.
2. Lord of Bay Horses, Hero, may the Soma rise to thy cheeks and jaws like mountain-ridges.
     May we, O King, as he who driveth coursers, all joy in thee with hymns, invoked of many!
3. Invoked of many, Caster of the Stone my heart quakes like a rolling wheel for fear of penury.
     Shall not Puruvasu the singer give thee praise, O ever-prospering Maghavan, mounted on thy car?
4. Like the press-stone is this thy praiser, Indra. Loudly he lifts his voice with strong endeavour.
     With thy left hand, O Maghavan, give us riches: with thy right, Lord of Bays, be not reluctant.
5. May the strong Heaven make thee the Strong wax stronger: Strong, thou art borne by thy two strong Bay Horses.
     So, fair of cheek, with mighty chariot, mighty, uphold us, strong-willed, thunderarmed, in battle.
6. Maruts, let all the people in obeisance bow down before this youthful Srutaratha,
     Who, rich in steeds, gave me two dark red horses together with three hundred head of cattle.
