Is mantra mein Indra ka gungan kiya gaya hai. Wo Soma peete hain aur sach bolte hain. Kavi log unki prarthana karte hain ki wo unki stuti ko kaamkaji bana de. Indra se maanga gaya hai ki wo gaye, ghode aur bahut saara dhan de. Wo shatru taakat ko tod de aur dushman ki awaaz ko khatam kare. Isse log ko sahi baat bolne ki taakat mile. Yeh stuti Indra se maangti hai ki wo aashirwad de.

Indra, tum sach bolne wale ho aur Soma peete ho. Halaanki hum log aise hain jaise koi hamare baare mein accha na bole. Phir bhi tum aa jao. Humein aisa bana do ki log sach mein hamare baare mein accha bolein. Tumhari shakti aur roshni mein, hazaron chamak mein, tum humein bade dene wale ho.

Frequently Asked Questions
The hymn asks Indra to come and make the singers’ praise effective, granting visible prosperity—especially cattle, horses, and abundant, shining wealth—while removing obstacles.
The repeated refrain works like a ritual anchor: it reinforces the central petition and is suited to steady, emphatic recitation during offering, especially in Soma contexts.
In the hymn, Kṛkadāśva appears as a hostile, disruptive force to be crushed by Indra; it can be read both as an external adversary and as a symbol of inner or ritual obstruction.
