Aindra praise of Indra’s irresistible might, affirmed through repeated soma-invitation and communal submission

ઇન્દ્ર, વરુફ સમ ક્રૂર હોવા છતાં—વૈરીઓનો વારણ (નિવારક), વિશાળ રીતે ઉથલાવનાર—વયુનેષુ (પવિત્ર વિધિઓમાં) સ્તુતિ પામે છે. આ અમારો સ્તોમ સ્વીકારી, અહીં આવ; ચિત્રયા ધિયા—વિવિધ તેજસ્વી સંકલ્પ સાથે—આગળ આવ.
