This verse is not included in this edition.

Indra, bring wealth that gives delight, the victor's ever-conquering wealth, Most excellent, to be our aid;

ni yena muṣṭihatyayā ni vṛtrā ruṇadhāmahai tvotāso ny arvatā

By means of which we may repel our foes in battle hand to hand, By thee assisted with the car.

indra tvotāsa ā vayaṃ vajraṃ ghanā dadīmahi jayema saṃ yudhi spṛdhaḥ

Aided by thee, the thunder-armed, Indra, may we lift up the bolt, And conquer all our foes in fight.

vayaṃ śūrebhir astṛbhir indra tvayā yujā vayam sāsahyāma pṛtanyataḥ

With thee, O India, for ally with missile-darting heroes, may We conquer our embattled foes.

mahāṁ indraḥ paraś ca nu mahitvam astu vajriṇe dyaur na prathinā śavaḥ

Mighty is Indra, yea supreme; greatness be his, the Thunderer: Wide as the heaven extends his power

samohe vā ya āśata naras tokasya sanitau viprāso vā dhiyāyavaḥ

Which aideth those to win them sons, who come as heroes to the fight, Or singers loving holy thoughts.

evā hy asya kāmyā stoma ukthaṃ ca śaṃsyā indrāya somapītaye

So are his lovely gifts; let lauds and praises be to Indra sung, That he may drink the Soma juice.
