We sacrificed Indra, the bolt to the right, the chariot of the deer, the fast‑moving ones set apart. They, ascending, smeared and milked upward; on earth, the host with their forces moved with the rushing ones.
We worship Indra, being in his right hand the thunderbolt, the driver of the bay horses which havemany functions; shaking his beard, he mounts on high, destroying (his enemies) by his armies he gives wealth (tohis worshippers).
INDRA, whose right hand wields the bolt, we worship, driver of Bay Steeds seeking sundered courses. Shaking his beard with might he hath arisen, casting his weapons forth and dealing bounties.
