Indra and Vāyu—both, here—easy to be invoked, here we call upon you; that for us every man, in the meeting-together, may sit well-minded, and may be for us one that desireth to give.
इंद्र और वायु, दोनों यहाँ हैं। उन्हें बुलाना आसान है, इसलिए हम उन्हें पुकारते हैं। कि सब लोग मिलके अच्छा सोचें। और जो देना चाहता हो, वो हमारे लिए हो।
