SV 2 2112.1

त्वामिद्धि हवामहे सातौ वाजस्य कारवः । त्वां वृत्रेष्विन्द्र सत्पतिं नरस्त्वां काष्ठास्वर्वतः

tvāmiddhi havāmahe sātau vājasya kāravaḥ | tvāṃ vṛtreṣvindra satpatiṃ narastvāṃ kāṣṭhāsvarvataḥ

For it is you we call, we makers (of songs), at the winning of the prize; you, Indra, the men (call) as true lord amid the Vṛtras, you (as winner) of the steed in the racecourses.

That we may win us wealth and power we poets verily, call on thee: In war men call on thee, Indra, the hero's Lord, in the steed's race-course call on thee

SV 2 2112.2

स त्वं नश्चित्र वज्रहस्त धृष्णुया मह स्तवानो अद्रिवः । गामश्वं रथ्यमिन्द्र सं किर सत्रा वाजं न जिग्युषे

sa tvaṃ naścitra vajrahasta dhṛṣṇuyā maha stavāno adrivaḥ | gāmaśvaṃ rathyamindra saṃ kira satrā vājaṃ na jigyuṣe

So do you, O brilliant one with the vajra in hand, boldly, praised as great, O wielder of the stone — heap together for us cow and chariot-horse, O Indra, wholly, as a prize to one who has won.

As such, O wonderful, whose hand holds thunder, praised as mighty, Caster of the Stone! Pour on us boldly, Indra, kine and chariot-steeds, ever to be the conqueror's strength!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
