yajñó hí ta indra várdhano bhūd utá priyáḥ sutá-somo miyédhaḥ | yajñéna yajñám ava yajñíyaḥ sán yajñás te vájram ahi-hátye ā́vat ||

Translation

ಓ ಇಂದ್ರ, ನಿನಗಾಗಿ ಯಜ್ಞವು ವೃದ್ಧಿಕಾರಕವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿರುವುದು ಪಿಷಿತ ಸೋಮ—ಮಧುರ ಹವಿಸ್ಸು. ಯಜ್ಞದಿಂದ ಯಜ್ಞವನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸು, ಯಜ್ಞಿಯನೇ (ಯಜ್ಞಕ್ಕೆ ಯೋಗ್ಯನೇ); ಯಜ್ಞವೇ ನಿನ್ನ ವಜ್ರವನ್ನು ಅಹಿ-ಹತ್ಯಾರ್ಥ—ಸರ್ಪಬಲದ ಸಂಹಾರಕ್ಕಾಗಿ—ದೃಢಪಡಿಸಿದೆ.
