O Indra, mighty king! We worship thee with a pure heart and with upraised hands. Accept our hymns and our offerings; be gracious unto us and turn not thy face away.

In the heavens thou sittest upon a throne of gold; thy crown is bright with jewels; thy eyes are as the sun. Yet thou dost hear the prayer of the humble mortal; thou dost turn thy gaze upon those who call thy name. O Indra, thou art both mighty and merciful.

In days of old thou didst break the bondage of the world. The waters were held captive; the light was shut away in darkness. But thou didst smite the demon and set all things free. O Indra, thou art the liberator; thou art he who bringeth forth the dawn.

We ask of thee not gold nor silver, though these are good. We ask of thee not horses nor chariots, though these are precious. We ask but this: that thou dost hear our prayer, that thou dost grant us thy favor, that thou dost keep us safe from all harm.

Give unto us children that we may have grandchildren to carry on our name. Give unto us health that we may work and prosper. Give unto us wisdom that we may speak truth and live righteously. O Indra, these are the gifts we seek.

The morning is bright; the sun doth shine upon the earth. The flowers do bloom; the birds do sing. All these things speak to us of thy glory and thy power. O Indra, as thou hast made all things beautiful, make also our lives bright and blessed. Hear our prayer and grant us thy favor forevermore.
