IAST Transliteration

adhā́ híndra girvaṇa úpa tvā kā́mān maháḥ sasṛjmáhe | udéva yánta udábhiḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Therefore, O Indra, song-delighting, toward thee we set our mighty wishes forth—going upward, even as with swelling floods.

Translation

ಆದುದರಿಂದ, ಹೇ ಗೀರ್ವಣ ಇಂದ್ರ! ನಿನ್ನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ನಾವು ಮಹತ್ತಾದ ಕಾಮನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊರಳಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ—ಏರಿಬರುವಂತೆ, ಉಕ್ಕುವ ಪ್ರವಾಹಗಳ ನೀರಿನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೋಲುವಂತೆ.
