Even the wolf of him is a repeller; the strong-stirrers shine in their devices. Accepting this our hymn of praise, come hither, O Indra, with brilliant thought.
उसकी तो भेड़िया भी दुश्मन भगाता है। जो शक्तियाँ हैं वो अपने काम में चमकती हैं। हमारी यह स्तुति सुनके इंद्र इधर आ जाओ। अच्छे से सोचके आ, हमारे पास।
