Changeless in truth, O Maghavan Indra, let it be as thou in wisdom willest it. May we, O fair of check, win booty with thine aid, O Thunderer, swiftly seeking it.

आ न॒: सोमे॑ स्वध्व॒र इ॑या॒नो अत्यो॒ न तो॑शते | यं ते॑ स्वदाव॒न्त्स्वद॑न्ति गू॒र्तय॑: पौ॒रे छ॑न्दयसे॒ हव॑म् ||

Indra, with all thy saving helps give us assistance, Lord of power. For after thee we follow even as glorious bliss, thee, Hero, finder-out of wealth.

Increaser of our steeds and multiplying kine, a golden well, O God, art thou, For no one may impair the gifts laid up in thee. Bring me whatever thing I ask.

यथा॒ कण्वे॑ मघव॒न्मेधे॑ अध्व॒रे दी॒र्घनी॑थे॒ दमू॑नसि | यथा॒ गोश॑र्ये॒ असि॑षासो अद्रिवो॒ मयि॑ गो॒त्रं ह॑रि॒श्रिय॑म् ||

If he the Strong of arm, the breaker-down of forts, the great Destroyer, hear my call, We, seeking riches cry to Indra, Lord of wealth, to Śatakratu with our lauds.
