Hail unto thee, O Indra, lord of all power! Thou art the mightiest god in heaven and earth. No rival standeth against thee. Thy strength is boundless; thy will is absolute. In every contest thou prevailest. In every struggle thy victory is assured.

We call upon thee as the champion of champions. Thy arm crusheth all opposition. Thy intellect surpasseth all wisdom. Thou art the speaker of truth, the giver of gifts, the slayer of demons. All the devas bow before thy throne.

Remember us in our hour of contest. We face enemies upon every side. Our foes are numerous; their strength is great. But thou, O lord of power, art greater still. Thou alone canst grant us victory. Thou alone canst preserve us from the darkness.

We pour the Soma at thy feet. The altar fire burneth bright with our offerings. The prayers ascend from ten thousand tongues. Hear us, O Indra! Answer our call! Show thyself the lord of contests, the unconquerable one, the victor eternal.

Grant us thy favour. Lead us to triumph in every struggle. Let our enemies falter and fall. Let their spears turn blunt; let their courage fail them. But let us stand firm, let us advance with steadfast hearts, for we are blessed by thee.

O champion beyond all challenge! O lord of victory! We praise thee without ceasing. Thou art the one who winneth all contests. Thy fame reacheth to the heavens and beyond. Accept our worship. Grant us thy protection. Make us victorious through thy might.
