Together, O Indra, with wealth, together with refreshment would we lay hold; together with prizes, with many splendors, with overpowering lights. Together with divine forethought, with hero-might, with cattle-leading, horse-possessing (plenty) would we lay hold.
Indra, hum tumhare saath dhan pana chahte hain. Khana bhi chahiye, inaam bhi chahiye. Chamak-dhamak honi chahiye, roshni honi chahiye. Bhagwan humare saath soch rahe hain. Hum mein taqat honi chahiye. Gai honi chahiye, ghode honi chahiye. Sab kuch mil jaye.
