English · William Dwight Whitney

O Agni, shine thou here unassailable, Jātavedas, immortal, wide-ruling (virā́j), bearing dominion; releasing all diseases by humane, propitious [aids], do thou protect round about today our household.

English · William Dwight Whitney

O Indra, unto dominion, [unto] pleasant force, wast thou born, thou bull of men (carṣaṇí); thou didst push away the inimical people; thou didst make wide room for the gods.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Like a fearful wild beast, wandering, mountain-staying, from distant distance may he come hither; sharpening, O Indra, [thy] missile (? sṛká), [thy] keen rim, smite away the foes, push away the scorners.
