O Indra, mighty king of the gods! O Viṣṇu, vast and all-pervading! To you we send forth our hymn of praise. Ye are mighty in your strength, each in your own way. Indra, thou art the wielder of the thunderbolt, the slayer of demons, the champion of the devas. Viṣṇu, thou dost stride across the three worlds and pervadest all existence with thy presence.

Indra, thou hast drunk the Soma and found thy power thereby increased a thousandfold! Thou hast become the greatest of the immortals through thy valor and thy prowess. No enemy can withstand thy might; no obstacle can bar thy way. Thou art the liberator of the waters and the slayer of Vṛtra the great serpent.

Viṣṇu, thou art the sustainer of all things. Thy steps measure out the boundaries of the worlds. Thou art subtle and mighty, small and great, present everywhere yet invisible to mortal eyes. Thou art the preserver of the sacred order, the upholder of righteousness, the friend of all who dwell in the three realms.

Together, ye form a power that is irresistible. Where Indra strikes with his thunderbolt, Viṣṇu is there to receive and transmit and sustain. Where Viṣṇu spreads his subtle presence, there doth Indra protect with his manifest strength. Ye are as two faces of the same divine reality.

Grant us protection from all harm. Grant us strength in our undertakings. Grant us victory over the forces of chaos and destruction. May we ever stand in awe of your power and in gratitude for your blessings.

Accept our hymn, O great ones, and let your favor rest upon us eternally.
