    Hey everyone, let's heartily praise the mighty heroes, Indra and Vishnu! They are incredibly strong, like a fast horse, always standing tall on the highest mountain peaks, and they can never be fooled. So, let's lift our voices in song for them!

    Oh Indra and Vishnu, you two are truly awesome! When you come with all your might, you protect us from fierce attacks. You even turn aside the arrows aimed at humans, like those shot by Krśānu. You're our ultimate shield!

    These offerings make their immense power grow! They bring the 'parents' (perhaps cosmic forces or aspects) together and sustain them. The son carries on the father's legacy, and there's a third principle shining brightly in the heavens. It's all about divine continuity!

    We sing about the incredible strength of this divine protector! He's our savior, always good and generous. He has this amazing power to cover all the earth in just three giant steps, making sure we can live freely and well. Truly remarkable!

    We can see and understand two of his amazing steps, the ones that help us see the bright sky and live well. But wow, his third step is so huge and powerful that nobody, not even the birds flying around, can get close to it or even imagine it! It's totally beyond us.

    He moves incredibly fast, like a spinning wheel, encompassing ninety-nine names or powers, plus four more! He's described as having a huge body but acting like a youthful, energetic being. He’s mature but still like a young hero, coming towards us when we call him. He's here for the battle!
