    All the songs have come together in you, O Indra, and many brilliant thoughts proceed from you. Both in the past and now, the praises of the sages and their hymns have been directed towards, and have vied for, Indra.

    Stanza 6.34.2

    पु॒रु॒हू॒तो यः पु॑रुगू॒र्त ऋभ्वाँ॒ एकः॑ पुरुप्रश॒स्तो अस्ति॑ य॒ज्ञैः | रथो॒ न म॒हे शव॑से युजा॒नो॒३॒॑ऽस्माभि॒रिन्द्रो॑ अनु॒माद्यो॑ भूत् ||

    He who is called by many, who traverses many paths, and is mighty, the one who is praised by many, exists with sacrifices. Like a chariot harnessed for a great strength, may Indra, joined with us, be worthy of praise.

    Stanza 6.34.3

    न यं हिंस॑न्ति धी॒तयो॒ न वाणी॒रिन्द्रं॒ नक्ष॒न्तीद॒भि व॒र्धय॑न्तीः | यदि॑ स्तो॒तारः॑ श॒तं यत्स॒हस्रं॑ गृ॒णन्ति॒ गिर्व॑णसं॒ शं तद॑स्मै ||

    ná yáṁ híṁsanti dhītáyo ná vā́ṇīr índraṁ nákṣantī́d abhí vardháyantīḥ yádi stotā́raḥ śatáṁ yát sahásraṁ gr̥ṇánti gírvaṇasaṁ śáṁ tád asmai

    Neither meditations nor words trouble Indra whom they reach, nor do they enhance him. If the praisers sing a hundred or a thousand times to him who loves songs, that indeed is beneficial to him.

    Stanza 6.34.4

    अस्मा॑ ए॒तद्दि॒व्य१॒॑र्चेव॑ मा॒सा मि॑मि॒क्ष इन्द्रे॒ न्य॑यामि॒ सोमः॑ | जनं॒ न धन्व॑न्न॒भि सं यदापः॑ स॒त्रा वा॑वृधु॒र्हव॑नानि य॒ज्ञैः ||

    For him, this offering is like the twin bright ones in the sky. Soma mixes with Indra. Like waters uniting in a riverbed, our invitations, invigorated by sacrifices, have consistently grown strong for him.

    Stanza 6.34.5

    अस्मा॑ ए॒तन्मह्या॑ङ्गू॒षम॑स्मा॒ इन्द्रा॑य स्तो॒त्रं म॒तिभि॑रवाचि | अस॒द्यथा॑ मह॒ति वृ॑त्र॒तूर्य॒ इन्द्रो॑ वि॒श्वायु॑रवि॒ता वृ॒धश्च॑ ||

    ásmā etán máhy āṅgūṣám asmā índrāya stotrám matíbhir avāci ásad yáthā mahatí vr̥tratū́rya índro viśvā́yur avitā́ vr̥dháś ca

    This great hymn has been proclaimed by us with our thoughts for him, for Indra, so that, as in the great destruction of Vritra, Indra, the protector of all life and the bestower of strength, may be our helper.
