He who, chief of lofty spirit, by power and might is the Protector of the angels, before whose majesty the two worlds trembled, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

2 He who fixed fast and firm the earth that staggered, and set at rest the agitated mountains, who measured out air's wider middle region and gave the heaven support, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

3 Who slew the dragon, freed the Seven Rivers, and drave the kine forth from the cave of Vala, begat the fire between both stones, the spoiler in warriors' battle, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

4 By whom this universe was made to tremble, who chased away the humbled brood of rebels, who, like a gambler gathering his winnings, seized the foe's riches, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

5 Of whom, the terrible, they ask, Where is He? or verily they say of Him, He is not. He wastes the foeman's wealth like stakes of gamblers. Have faith in Him, for He, O men, is God the Mighty.

6 Stirrer to action of the poor and lowly, of priest, of suppliant who sings His praises; who favours him who offers the gift, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

7 He under whose supreme control are horses, all chariots, and the hamlets, and the cattle; He who created the sun, created the morning, and sends the waters, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

8 To whom both armies cry in close encounter, foe against foe, the stronger and the weaker; whom two invoke upon one chariot mounted, each for himself, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

9 He, without whom men conquer not in battle, whom, warring, they invoke for help and succour; He, the Lord of all this universe, who shakes what never shook, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

10 He who hath smitten, ere they knew their danger, with His hurled weapon many grievous sinners; who pardons not his boldness who provokes Him, who slays the wicked, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

11 He who discovered in the fortieth autumn Sambara dwelling in the midst of mountains; who slew the dragon putting forth His vigour, the demon lying there, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

12 Who accepted the offering poured at the seat of Order, subduing Sambara by superior prowess; who stored food within the mountain's hollow, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

13 Who, with seven guiding reins, the mighty, set the Seven Rivers free to flow at pleasure; who, thunder-armed, rent Rauhina in pieces when scaling heaven, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

14 Heaven, even, and the earth bow down before Him, before His very breath the mountains tremble; known as the Lord of the thunderbolt, armed with thunder, the wielder of the bolt, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

15 Who aids with favour him who gives the offering, and him who prepares it, sacrificer, singer; whose bounty our prayer and offering invite, and this our gift, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

16 He who with vigorous energy assisted the hosts of the righteous, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

17 Lord of swift steeds, before whom all living creatures tremble; He who smote Sambara and slaughtered Sushna, He the Sole Hero, He, O men, is God the Mighty.

18 Thou verily art true, strong God, who sendest wealth to the man who prepares and pours the offering. So may we evermore, Thy friends, O God, address the assembly with brave sons about us.
