O Indra and Agni, hear our desperate prayer! Our enemies encircle us everywhere. We stand alone upon the field of war, and look to you to help us evermore.

Come now with all thy might, O Indra bold! Come now with all thy heat, O Agni gold! Together make us strong to meet the foe, and strike our enemies a mortal blow.

We have prepared our souls for battle's test; we have rejected fear, we have been blessed. With you beside us, we shall conquer all; before thy mighty power, our foes shall fall.

O Indra, grant to us thy lightning bright, that we may smite our enemies in the fight! O Agni, set our courage all ablaze, and let thy flames burn through the coming days!

The demons gather round with spears and shield; they think to conquer us upon the field. But thou, O Indra, art the lord of war, whose power is greater than a thousand more.

And thou, O Agni, burnest up our doubt, and kindlest in our hearts a fierce shout. Together ye shall make us brave and true, and all our enemies shall bend to you.

We race toward battle as we race toward thee; we hunger for the victory, burning free. Our hearts are hot with courage and with fire, and thou shalt grant unto us our desire.

Come now, come swiftly, hear us ere too late! Our enemies do wait upon the gate. Indra and Agni, strongest of the strong, come to our aid and right this dreadful wrong!

With thee, O gods, we shall not ever fail; with thee, O gods, our victory shall prevail.
