The army of enemies, O bounteous one, playing the foe against us—do ye (two), O Vṛtra-slaying Indra, Agni also, burn against them.
Impelled, O Indra, forwards (? pravátā) by thy (two) bays—let thy thunderbolt go forth, slaughtering (pra-mṛ) the foes; smite the on-coming, the following, the fleeing (párāñc); scatter their actual intent.
O Indra, confound the army of our enemies; with the blast of fire, of wind, make them disappear, scattering.
