You wise ones, bring forth your thought, each according as men's thoughts are. Let us set Indra in motion with true deeds, for he is the hero, eager for songs, known (to us).

For with the vajra the Vṛtra-slayer struck down Vṛtra, (and) the wiles of the godless one who was swelling strong. Boldly there, O bold one, you smashed (them) apart, and then, O Maghavan, you became strong of arm.

United, they went to the sea like women full of desire; from of old their lover, honoured, was the breaker of their strongholds. Your earthly goods have come home to us, Indra — many gifts of bounty.
