índra prá no dhitā́vānaṃ yajñáṃ víśvebhir devébhíḥ | tirás tavān viśpate

Indra, set thou forward for us the sacrifice well-ordered, with all the Gods; overpassing (all hindrance) by thy praise, O Lord of the folk.

इंद्र से प्रार्थना है कि वो यज्ञ को आगे बढ़ाए। सारे देवता उसके साथ हों। इंद्र सबका मालिक है। उसकी तारीफ से सारे रास्ते साफ हो जाते हैं। कोई प्रॉब्लम नहीं आती।
