yád indra prā́g apā́g údaṅ nyàg vā hūyáse nṛ́bhiḥ | símā purū́ nṛ-sū́to asyā́nave ’si praśardha turváśe ||

Wahai Indra, sama ada Engkau diseru oleh manusia dari timur atau barat, dari atas atau dari bawah—Engkaulah sesungguhnya Yang Satu yang berwujud banyak, yang lahir daripada daya-jiwa manusia. Engkau yang menakluk, yang mara ke hadapan bagi si pencari; datanglah sebagai kekuatan yang menang bagi Turvaśa, jiwa yang berusaha.
