Indra, the mighty one, we do sing thy glory and thy splendor,
Thou who art the greatest of all the gods celestial,
Thy strength doth know no bounds, thy power is without limit,
And thy deeds do echo through the ages everlasting.
Thou art the one who did slay the great dragon of the depths,
Thou art the one who released the waters bound in darkness,
Thou art the one who brought the light unto the mortal world,
And thou art the one who doth protect us from all harm and evil.
What mighty deeds hath Indra wrought! What wonders hath he performed!
He did lift the mountains high, he did establish firm the earth,
He did stretch the sky above like a skin upon the drum,
And he did kindle forth the sun that shineth eternal.
Indra's strength is like the roaring of a thousand lions,
His power is like the crashing of a thousand waves upon the shore,
His will is like the force of wind that doth sweep all before it,
And his voice is like the thunder that doth shake the very heavens.
Thou hast conquered all thy enemies, O Indra, mighty lord,
The demons flee before thy face, the asuras do quail in fear,
No foe can stand against thee, no adversary can prevail,
For thy might is absolute and thy victory is ever assured.
Yet thou art not a tyrant, though thy power be supreme,
Thou art a just and righteous lord who ruleth with compassion,
Thou dost protect the weak and the helpless from the strong,
And thou dost ensure that order and justice do prevail.
Indra is the giver of all good things unto the mortals,
He doth bestow upon us the rain that maketh crops to flourish,
He doth grant us wealth and cattle and abundance manifold,
He doth bless us with the sons and daughters who do carry on our line.
We do sing thy praises, O mighty Indra, lord supreme,
We do acknowledge thy dominion o'er all the worlds created,
We do ask thee for thy favor and thy help in times of need,
We do give thee thanks for all the blessings that thou dost bestow.
May Indra ever reign victorious, may his strength never falter,
May his justice ever prevail, may his wisdom guide all things,
May he ever watch o'er us mortals with eyes of care and tenderness,
And may we be forever worthy of his great and glorious attention.
