इमा नु कं भुवना सीषधामेन्द्रश्च विश्वे च देवाः॥

imā nu kaṁ bhuvanā sīṣadhāmendraśca viśve ca devāḥ ||

WE will, with Indra and all Gods to aid us, bring these existing worlds into subjection.

यज्ञं च नस्तन्वं च प्रजां चादित्यैरिन्द्रः सह चीकॢपाति॥

yajñaṁ ca nastanvaṁ ca prajāṁ cādityairindraḥ saha cīkḷpāti ||

Our sacrifice, our bodies, and our offspr. let Indra form together with Adityas.

आदित्यैरिन्द्रः सगणो मरुद्भिरस्माकं भूत्वविता तनूनाम्॥

ādityairindraḥ sagaṇo marudbhirasmākaṁ bhūtvavitā tanūnām ||

With the Adityas, with the band of Maruts, may Indra be Protector of our bodies.

हत्वाय देवा असुरान्यदायन्देवा देवत्वमभिरक्षमाणाः॥

hatvāya devā asurānyadāyandevā devatvamabhirakṣamāṇāḥ ||

As when the Gods came, after they had slaughtered the Asuras, keeping safe their Godlike nature,

प्रत्यञ्चमर्कमनयञ्छचीभिरादित्स्वधामिषिरां पर्यपश्यन्॥

pratyañcamarkamanayañchacībhirāditsvadhāmiṣirāṁ paryapaśyan ||

Brought the Sun hitherward with mighty powers, and looked about them on their vigorous Godhead.
