O Vāyu and Indra, divine pair! O wind and warrior, swift and strong! Ye are complementary powers, the breath and the thunderbolt, the invisible and the manifest. Together ye do accomplish great deeds that neither could accomplish alone.
Vāyu, thou dost ride ahead, spreading the clouds and announcing the approach of thy companion. Indra followeth, bringing the thunder and the lightning. When they meet, the whole sky is alive with power! The winds do howl! The rains do pour down! The earth doth drink deeply and is made fertile!
Vāyu, thou art the guide and the herald. Indra, thou art the warrior and the lord. Vāyu, thy touch is gentle as the caress of a lover's hand. Indra, thy touch is as the blow of the warrior's club. Vāyu, thou dost inspire poetry and song in the hearts of men. Indra, thou dost inspire courage and the will to conquer.
Together, ye do ride across the heavens in thy golden chariots! The earth trembles at thy coming! The waters flow at thy command! The crops grow tall in the fields! The herds multiply! The people prosper under thy rule!
O Vāyu and Indra, we call upon you both! Let thy blessings fall upon us like the rains of the monsoon! Let thy power protect us from our enemies! Let thy wisdom guide us in all our deeds! Grant us prosperity and victory! Grant us long life and many children! Grant us the blessings that come from thy divine partnership!
