ayáṃ hí te ámartiya índur átyo ná pátyate |
dákṣo viśvā́yur vedháse || 
1 THIS deathless Indu, like a steed, strong and of full vitality, Belongs to thee, the Orderer. 
ayám asmā́su kā́viya r̥bhúr vájro dã́svate |
ayám bibharti ūrdhvákr̥śanam mádam r̥bhúr ná kŕ̥tviyam mádam || 
2 Here, by us, for the worshipper, is the wise bolt that works with skill. It brings the bubbling beverage as a dexterous man brings the effectual strong drink. 
ghŕ̥ṣuḥ śyenā́ya kŕ̥tvana āsú suā́su váṃsagaḥ |
áva dīdhed ahīśúvaḥ || 
3 Impetuous Ahīśuva, a bull among cows of his, looked down upon the restless Hawk. 
yáṃ suparṇáḥ parāvátaḥ śyenásya putrá ā́bharat |
śatácakraṃ yò 'hyò vartaníḥ || 
4 That the strong-pinioned Bird hath brought, Child of the Falcon, from afar, What moves upon a hundred wheels along the female Dragon's path. 
yáṃ te śyenáś cā́rum avr̥kám padā́bharad aruṇám mānám ándhasaḥ |
enā́ váyo ví tāri ā́yu° jīvása enā́ jāgāra bandhútā || 
5 Which, fair, unrobbed, the Falcon brought thee in his foot, the red-hued dwelling of the juice; Through this came vital power which lengthens out our days, and kinship through its help awoke. 
evā́ tád índra índunā devéṣu cid dhārayāte máhi tyájaḥ |
krátvā váyo ví tāri ā́yu° sukrato krátvāyám asmád ā́ sutáḥ || 
6 So Indra is by lndu's power; e’en among Gods will it repel great treachery. Wisdom, Most Sapient One, brings force that lengthens life. May wisdom bring the juice to us.
