Semoga kami meraih itu dengan persembahan imam yang penuh pertimbangan; semoga kami meraih kelimpahan (rayi), wahai para pemilik kelimpahan, daya kepahlawanan yang gembira dan nyata. Keburukan pikiran hendak kami hadapi dan taklukkan dengan niat baik, memadukannya dengan dorongan pencarian. Dengan seruan-seruan yang benar kami mendekatkan Indra, Yang Patut Dipuja, dengan seruan-seruan kemuliaan.
