5,36 Indra 
5.XXXVI Indra 
sá ā́ gamad índaro+ yó vásūnāṃ cíketad dā́tuṃ dā́mano rayīṇā́m |
dhanvacaró ná váṃsagas tr̥ṣāṇáś cakamānáḥ pibatu dugdhám aṃśúm || 
1 MAY Indra come to us, he who knows rightly to give forth treasures from his store of riches. Even as a thirsty steer who roams the deserts may he drink eagerly the milked-out Soma. 
ā́ te hánū harivaḥ śūra śípre rúhat sómo ná párvatasya pr̥ṣṭhé |
ánu tvā rājan árvato ná hinván gīrbhír madema puruhūta víśve || 
2 Lord of Bay Horses, Hero, may the Soma rise to thy cheeks and jaws like mountain-ridges. May we, O King, as he who driveth coursers, all joy in thee with hymns, invoked of many! 
cakráṃ ná vr̥ttám puruhūta vepate máno bhiyā́ me ámater íd adrivaḥ |
ráthād ádhi tvā jaritā́ sadāvr̥dha kuvín nú stoṣan maghavan purūvásuḥ || 
3 Invoked of many, Caster of the Stone my heart quakes like a rolling wheel for fear of penury. Shall not Puruvasu the singer give thee praise, O ever-prospering Maghavan, mounted on thy car? 
eṣá grā́veva jaritā́ ta indra íyarti vā́cam br̥hád āśuṣāṇáḥ |
prá savyéna maghavan yáṃsi rāyáḥ prá dakṣiṇíd dharivo mā́ ví venaḥ || 
4 Like the press-stone is this thy praiser, Indra. Loudly he lifts his voice with strong endeavour. With thy left hand, O Maghavan, give us riches: with thy right, Lord of Bays, be not reluctant. 
vŕ̥ṣā tuvā vŕ̥ṣaṇaṃ vardhatu dyaúr vŕ̥ṣā vŕ̥ṣabhyāṃ vahase háribhyām |
sá no vŕ̥ṣā vŕ̥ṣarathaḥ suśipra vŕ̥ṣakrato vŕ̥ṣā vajrin bháre dhāḥ || 
5 May the strong Heaven make thee the Strong wax stronger: Strong, thou art borne by thy two strong Bay Horses. So, fair of cheek, with mighty chariot, mighty, uphold us, strong-willed, thunderarmed, in battle. 
yó róhitau vājínau vājínīvān tribhíḥ śataíḥ sácamānāv ádiṣṭa |
yū́ne sám asmai kṣitáyo namantāṃ śrutárathāya maruto duvoyā́ || 
6 Maruts, let all the people in obeisance bow down before this youthful Srutaratha, Who, rich in steeds, gave me two dark red horses together with three hundred head of cattle.
