When you, in battle, thought the great ones to be witnesses, you pierced them with arms and struck down the hostile ones. When men rose against Indra in warfare, by you we gained the glorious victory.
When you enable us to encounter mighty and arrogant (enemies), we are competent to overcome themalignant by our (unarmed) hands alone; and when you, Indra, surrounded by your attendants (Maruts), fightagainst them, we shall triumph, aided by you (in) that glorious war.
When thou hast urged the arrocrant to combat, proud in their strength of arm, we will subdue them. Or, Indra, when thou fightest girt by heroes, we in the glorious fray with thee will conquer.
