Mantra 6
Indra’s sovereignty and exclusive praise at the Soma-pressing
तरणिरित्सिषासति वाजं पुरन्ध्या युजा आ व इन्द्रं पुरुहूतं नमे गिरा नेमिं तष्टेव सुद्रुवम्

Indra, o libertador, em verdade deseja conceder a força com dádiva generosa; a Ele, o muito-invocado, eu venero por vós com meu canto — como se reverencia a jante bem fixada, talhada pelo artífice da roda, firme e inabalável.
