Be roused, O Maghavan, the winning powers; let forth the shout of conquering heroes go. Let separate cries, the ululations bannered, be lifted up; let the Gods, Indra-chief, the Maruts, march along with the host.
Erhebt euch, o Maghavan, ihr siegbringenden Kräfte; der Ruf der siegenden Helden soll erschallen. Getrennte Rufe, die Ululationen, bannertragend, sollen aufsteigen; die Götter, Indra als Erster, die Maruts, mögen mit dem Heerzug ziehen.
