For splendour. Let fame, as oblation, increase—Indra-driven, of thousandfold might, well-sustained, force-wrought—spreading forth in continuous course for long-enduring visibility. Me, rich in offerings, do thou increase unto pre-eminence.
Para o esplendor. Que a fama, como oblação, cresça—impelida por Indra, de força mil vezes potente, bem sustentada, forjada pelo vigor—espalhando-se sem cessar para uma longa visão. A mim, rico em oferendas, faz crescer para a preeminência, para a primazia.
