IAST Transliteration

tvám índra śárma-riṇā havyáṃ pārā́vatebhyaḥ | víprāya stuvaté vásu-vaníṃ dur-aśraváse vaha ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Thou, Indra, who repayest with shelter, bring hither the oblation from far away; bring wealth-winning to the singer as he praiseth thee—yea, to him whose fame is hard to win.

Translation

因陀罗啊，你以庇护作回报；请把那从远方而来的供献带来。请把致富之财带给赞颂你的歌者——带给那名声难得之人。
