Hear us, O Indra! Great is thy name among the kingdoms of mortals! King Bharata himself doth offer this hymn unto thee, for thou hast granted him dominion and victory over his enemies!

The rāja doth stand in thy light. Thou hast made him victorious in battle. When his chariots do race forth onto the field of war, his enemies do tremble and flee. Their fortresses crumble before his might. Their kings do bow in submission. The wealth of their lands doth become his spoil.

Yet the king knoweth that it is not his own strength alone that bringeth victory! It is thy blessing, O Indra, that giveth him courage. It is thy thunderbolt that strikethe down his foes. It is thy favor that doth make all his enterprises flourish and bear fruit.

The rāja ruleth with justice and wisdom. His people do prosper under his reign. The crops grow abundant. The herds multiply. The merchants do grow wealthy through trade. The priests do honor the gods with proper ritual. All is order and harmony throughout the realm.

This prosperity floweth from thy blessing, O mighty Indra! Thou hast chosen this rāja to be thy instrument. Thou hast appointed him to rule justly and protect his people. We do acknowledge thy wisdom in this selection. We do praise thy greatness.

O Indra! Accept this royal hymn of thanksgiving! Continue to favor thy chosen king. Grant him long life and continued victory. Make his reign prosperous and peaceful. Let his name be remembered forever among the peoples. Through him, O Thunder-god, may all of creation be blessed and upheld in righteousness and dharma.
