Mantra 8
Aindra stuti: Indra as the collectively ‘fashioned’ and manifest power who conquers battles and grants sovereignty through soma-inspired praise
त्यं सु मेषं महया स्वर्विदं शतं यस्य सुभुवः साकमीरते अत्यं न वाजं हवनस्यदं रथमेन्द्रं ववृत्यामवसे सुवृक्तिभिः .
tyaṃ su meṣaṃ mahayā svarvidaṃ śataṃ yasya subhuvaḥ sākamīrate atyaṃ na vājaṃ havanasyadaṃ rathamendraṃ vavṛtyāmavase suvṛktibhiḥ .

هو ذاك حقًّا—إندرا المندفع، كاشفُ السَّوَر (svár)، ذو المئةِ قوّة—الذي تتحرّك قواه المباركةُ معًا؛ هو ذاك، كجوادٍ سريع، واهبُ ثوابِ الدعوة، نودّ أن نستقدمه في مركبته لحمايتنا، بمدائحَ محكمةِ النسج.
