English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

He who, the master, leads men into battles, who brings together prosperities twofold—to Indra I offer praise; as one in need I call aloud: may he release us from distress and sin.

戦へと人々を導き、戦闘において自在に統べ、二重の繁栄を結び合わせるその主——インドラ（Indra）をわれは讃える。困窮する者として声高く呼び求める。彼がわれらを苦難と罪過（aṃhas）から解き放たんことを。
