A door of the horse art thou, O Indra, a door of the cow; a door of barley, lord of riches, master of force. Teaching men, from lofty heaven, drawing at will—friend unto friends, thee with this we hymn.
Tu es la porte du cheval, ô Indra, la porte de la vache; la porte de l’orge, seigneur des biens, maître de la force. Instruisant les hommes, depuis le haut ciel, attirant à ton gré — ami des amis: c’est toi que nous célébrons par ceci.
