1. Drive all our enemies away, smite down the foes who press around,
And bring the wealth for which we long:

2. Of which the world shall know forthwith as given by thee abundantly:
Bring us the wealth for which we long:

3. O Indra, that which is concealed in strong firm place precipito us:
Bring us the wealth for which we long!
