आ त्वा॑ विशन्तु सु॒तास॑ इन्द्र पृ॒णस्व॑ कु॒क्षी वि॒ड्ढि श॑क्र धि॒येह्या नः॑ । श्रु॒धी हवं॒ गिरो॑ मे जुष॒स्वेन्द्र॑ स्व॒युग्भि॒र्मत्स्वे॒ह म॒हे रणा॑य

Let the pressed draughts enter thee, O Indra; fill thou thy flanks: smite through, O Mighty, with inspired thought; come hither unto us. Hear thou the call; accept my uttered songs, O Indra; with thine own yoked teams be thou exhilarate here, for the great battle.
आ त्वा विशन्तु सुतास इन्द्र, पृणस्व कुक्शी; विड्ढि शक्र धियेह्या नः। श्रुधी हवं गिरो मे जुषस्वेन्द्र; स्वयुग्भिर्मत्स्वेह महे रणाय॥
