We set around us, on every side, the arms of Indra the protector: let him protect us. O god Savitar, O Soma the King, make me of gracious mind, for welfare.
আমরা রক্ষক ইন্দ্রের বাহুদ্বয়কে সর্বদিকে, চারপাশে আমাদের চারদিকে স্থাপন করি; তিনি যেন আমাদের রক্ষা করেন। হে দেব সবিতা, হে সোম-রাজন, কল্যাণের জন্য আমাকে সুমন (শুভ-মন) করো।
