O mighty Indra, we do petition thee now with voices raised in supplication,
We do beseech thee for thy aid in battle and in struggle,
We do ask that thou wouldst grant unto us victory o'er our enemies,
And that thou wouldst bestow upon us the blessing of thy favor eternal.

We are but mortals weak and small, and the world doth press upon us heavy,
Our foes are many and their strength doth seem to us as vast and terrible,
But we do know that thou, O Indra, art greater far than all the darkness combined,
And that thy might doth know no limit, thy power doth know no boundary.

We pray to thee, grant us the strength of the warrior bold and undaunted,
That we might face our enemies with hearts that do not quail nor falter,
That we might strike the blow that doth defend the innocent and the helpless,
That we might triumph in the struggle 'tween the light and the darkness deep.

Grant us thy protection, O mighty lord, as thou dost protect the cosmic order,
As thou dost guard the sun and moon and stars in their appointed courses,
As thou dost prevent the waters from overwhelming all the lands and peoples,
Even so, grant us thy protection from the evils that do threaten.

Grant us thy wisdom, that we might discern the right path from the wrong,
That we might know which course doth lead unto the blessing and which unto the curse,
That we might make decisions wise and just in all the situations that we face,
That we might serve thy purposes and fulfill thy will eternal.

Grant us thy courage, that we might stand firm in the face of all adversity,
That we might not be swayed by fear or doubt or uncertainty of heart,
That we might endure the trials and tribulations that do come unto all mortals,
That we might emerge from them refined and strengthened in our spirit.

Grant us thy generosity, O lord of all the gifts and all the blessings,
That thou wouldst send the rain to nourish our fields and make them fertile,
That thou wouldst increase our cattle and our herds beyond all measure,
That thou wouldst grant unto us the abundance needful for our lives.

We do offer unto thee our sacrifices and our hymns of praise and adoration,
We do pour forth the soma and the clarified butter unto the flames,
We do kindle up the sacred fire that riseth like a prayer unto the heavens,
And we do ask that thou wouldst hear and accept our offering with favor.

O mighty Indra, hear our prayer, answer our petition, grant our request,
And we shall sing thy praises forever and ever, world without end.
