IAST Transliteration

asmā́kam índraḥ samṛ́teṣu dhvajéṣv asmā́kaṃ yā́ íṣavas tā́ jayantu | asmā́kaṃ vīrā́ uttáre bhavantu asmā́n devāso avata háveṣu

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Our Indra (be) at the standards in the encounters; our arrows—let those conquer. Our heroes—let them be the uppermost; us may the gods protect in our calls.

Translation

ในยามปะทะ ณ ธงรบทั้งหลาย ขอให้อินทราของเราสถิตอยู่; ขอให้ลูกศรของเราชนะ. ขอให้วีรชนของเราอยู่เหนือกว่า อยู่สูงสุด; เมื่อเราร้องเรียก ขอให้เหล่าเทพคุ้มครองเราเถิด.
