यु꣣धे꣡दा꣢पि꣣त्व꣡मि꣢च्छसे ॥ ३९९ ॥

O Indra, you are without rival and without kinsman, ancient by birth; through battle you desire companionship.

यो꣡ न꣢ इ꣣द꣡मि꣢दं पु꣣रा꣡ प्र वस्य꣢꣯ आनि꣣ना꣢य त꣡मु꣢ व स्तुषे ।

Him who formerly brought us this and this, the better, I indeed praise; O friends, praise Indra for protection.

Come hither, you who go forth; do not be harmed. O Maruts of one accord, do not stand aloof; you who restrain firmly.

आ꣡ या꣢ह्य꣣य꣢उ ।
मिन्द꣣वे꣡ऽश्व꣢पते꣣ गो꣡प꣢त꣣ उ꣡र्व꣢रापते ।

Come, O lord of horses, lord of cows, lord of fields; come for Indu. O lord of Soma, drink Soma.

स꣣ꣳस्थे꣡ जन꣢꣯स्य꣣ गो꣡म꣢तः ॥ ४०३ ॥

O bull, with you as companion we shall speak toward the snorter, in the assembly of the people rich in cows.

गा꣡व꣢श्चिद्धा समन्यवः सजा꣣꣬त्ये꣢꣯न म꣣रु꣢तः꣣ स꣡ब꣢न्धवः ।
रि꣣ह꣡ते꣢ क꣣कु꣡भो꣢ मि꣣थः꣢ ॥ ४०४ ॥

The cows too are of one accord; the Maruts are kinsmen by common birth; they lick the peaks of the mountains, one another.

त्वं꣡ न꣢ इ꣣न्द्रा꣡ भ꣢र꣣ ओ꣡जो꣢ नृ꣣म्ण꣡ꣳ श꣢तक्रतो विचर्षणे ।

Indra, hundred-minded, all-seeing, bring us vigour and strength; bring to us a hero who overcomes armies.

उ꣣दे꣢व꣣ ग्म꣡न्त꣢ उ꣣द꣡भिः꣢ ॥ ४०६ ॥

Now, Indra, praised in song! With desire we approach you; as those going toward the waters rise up, so we raise our praises.

सी꣡द꣢न्तस्ते꣣ व꣢यो꣣ य꣢था꣣ गो꣡श्री꣢ते꣣ म꣡धौ꣢ मदि꣣रे꣢ वि꣣व꣡क्ष꣢णे ।
अ꣣भि꣡ त्वामि꣢꣯न्द्र नोनुमः ॥ ४०७ ॥

Seated, as your food is in milk-mixed honey and in the exhilarating intoxicating drink, Indra, we praise you again and again.

व꣣य꣢मु꣣ त्वा꣡म꣢पूर्व्य स्थू꣣रं꣢꣫ न कच्चि꣣द्भ꣡र꣢न्तोऽव꣣स्य꣡वः꣢ ।
व꣡ज्रिं꣢चि꣣त्र꣡ꣳ ह꣢वामहे ॥ ४०८ ॥

We, seeking help and bearing a great offering, call upon you, unrivalled one — wielder of the thunderbolt, wondrous one.
