Mantra 5
Aindra protection and yajña-success through divine guidance, Soma-inspired resolve, and Agni as the rite’s wealth-center
क्रत्वा महां अनुष्वधं भीम आ वावृते शवः श्रिय ऋष्व उपाकयोर्नि शिप्री हरिवां दधे हस्तयोर्वज्रमायसम्

Agung oleh daya suci (kratu), dahsyat, ia melingkupi kekuatan dengan kemilau; yang menjulang, berjanggut, bertunggangan kuda-kuda keemasan—Indra—telah menggenggam di kedua tangannya vajra besi.
