[Verse 1] Indraḥ mahān vajrahastaḥ, dyāvāpṛthivī kampayati śabdena, tṛṣṇāṁ śamayati meghavāṇī, śatrūn ghnan, pālayan rājyaṁ svam. (Translation: “Indra the great, wielder of thunder, / Shakes heaven and earth with his sound, / Quells thirst with the voice of clouds, / Striking foes, guarding his kingdom.”) [Chant 1] Tvam asi vṛtrahā, śūraḥ, vajrī, divyatejaḥ, gajānanaṁ yathā balī, Indra, tvam asi jayaḥ. (Translation: “You are the slayer of Vṛtra, O hero, / Thunder-wielder, divine light, / As strong as the elephant lord, / Indra, you are victory.”) [Verse 2] Prāvṛṣi stanayitnūni yathā vādyanti, evam tava nāma jagati ghoṣate, tvayā sṛṣṭaṁ, tvayā rakṣitaṁ, tvayā vinaṣṭam apīdaṁ jagat. (Translation: “As thunder speaks in the rainy season, / So your name echoes in the world, / Created by you, protected by you, / Even its end is within you.”) [Chant 2] Aham tvā stomi, mahābala, tejasvin, śatrughna, devapati, śatravo palāyante, tvam yadi krośasi. (Translation: “I praise you, great in might, / Radiant, destroyer of enemies, lord of gods, / Enemies flee / if you merely shout.”) [Verse 3] Na te samaḥ, na te dvitīyaḥ, sarve devāḥ tvāṁ paśyanti, tvayi sthitam viśvaṁ sarvam, tvam asi mārgaḥ, tvam asi gatiḥ. (Translation: “None is your equal, none your second, / All the gods behold you, / In you all the universe is set, / You are the path, you are the goal.”) [Chant 3] Indra mahādevata, tvam asi bāla, tvam asi agni, tvam asi ojaḥ sarvataḥ, tvam asi mantraḥ śāśvataḥ. (Translation: “Indra, great deity, / You are the child, you are the fire, / You are strength in all things, / You are the eternal chant.”)
