Mantra 1

यदिन्द्राहं यथा त्वमीशीय वस्व एक इत्। स्तोता मे गोषखा स्यात्

If, O Indra, even as thou, I might have lordship over wealth, alone indeed—then may my praiser be a cow-friend unto me.

Mantra 2

शिक्षेयमस्मै दित्सेयं शचीपते मनीषिणे । यदहं गोपतिः स्याम्

May I gain skill; may I bestow for him—O Lord of Śacī, wise in counsel—so that I may become a lord of cows.

Mantra 3

धेनुष्ट इन्द्र सूनृता यजमानाय सुन्वते। गामश्वं पिप्युषी दुहे

Thy milch-cow, O Indra—benign and true of speech—unto the sacrificer, the presser, doth milk forth, full-swelling, cow and horse.

Mantra 4

न ते वर्तास्ति राधस इन्द्र देवो न मर्त्यः ।यद् दित्ससि स्तुतो मघम्

No bound hath thy bounty, O Indra—thou art a god, not mortal—when, praised, thou art fain to give the gift.

Mantra 5

यज्ञ इन्द्रमवर्धयद् यद् भूमिं व्यवर्तयत्। चक्राण ओपशं दिवि

The sacrifice strengthened Indra, when he rolled forth the earth, making in heaven aid and support.

Mantra 6

वावृधानस्य ते वयं विश्वा धनानि जिग्युषः । ऊतिमिन्द्रा वृणीमहे

We, as conquerors, would win all treasures of thee who waxest ever stronger; we choose, O Indra, thy succouring aid.
