Translation

Herbei komme Indra, der Stier von doppelter Größe, unbeugsam, mit seinen zwei fahlen Rossen, zum ringsum ausgegossenen Soma-Trank. Mit der kuhgeborenen Süße des gepressten und dargebrachten Honigs (mádhu) wachse an Kraft, o Bezwinger der Rötlichen (Mächte der Unordnung), und überwinde auf einmal alle Ermattung.
