índra vā́jeṣu no ’va sahásra-pradhaneṣu ca | ugrá ugrā́bhir ūtíbhiḥ

O Indra, help us in the prize-contests, and in the thousand-stake encounters; thou fierce one, with thy fierce succors.

हे इंद्र, हमारी मदद कर जब हम किसी कम्पीटिशन में लड़ रहे हैं। जहाँ बड़ा इनाम है, वहाँ भी साथ दे। तू बहुत ताकतवर है, और तेरी मदद भी ताकतवर है।
