1. Bring to the wise, the great, who waxeth mighty your offerings and make ready your devotion.
Go forth to many tribes as man's controller!

2. For Indra the sublime, the far-pervading, have singers generateo prayer and praises;
The sages never violate his statutes.

3. The choirs have established Indra King for ever for victory him, whose anger is resistless:
And for the bays' Lord strengthened those he loveth.
