Permanece ahora, oh Indra, en este seno de nuestro ser, para la alabanza de quien trae la corriente purificadora, por tu grandeza. Cuando en la batalla sueltas las crecidas hacia abajo, entonces tus dos corceles leonados se mantienen firmes, osados, acicalando y acrecentando las plenitudes de fuerza.
