Together, O Indra, with wealth, together with refreshment would we lay hold; together with prizes, with many splendors, with overpowering lights. Together with divine forethought, with hero-might, with cattle-leading, horse-possessing (plenty) would we lay hold.
ともに、インドラ(Indra)よ、富とともに、ともに滋養を掴み取らん;ともに賞与を、数多の輝きと圧倒する光明とともに。さらに神聖なる先見(思慮)とともに、勇士の力とともに、牛を先導し馬を有する豊饒とともに、掴み取らん。
