In The Secret of the Veda, Sri Aurobindo showed that there is a deep, esoteric sense to the Vedic hymns that is the real sense of the hymns. As part of his review, Sri Aurobindo translated and commented on a number of Hymns to Indra. While there is a chapter devoted to Indra and the Ashwins (Chapter 8, pp. 75-85), and 3 of the Selected Hymns deal wholly or in part with Indra, there is an entire section devoted to Hymns to Indra. Sri Aurobindo also directly translates this hymn again later in the text, Hymn to Ashwins, Indra, Vishwadevas and Saraswati. (The Secret of the Veda, US edition, pp. 517-519) The English translation was provided by Sri Aurobindo, and extracted from Chapter 8 of the Secret of the Veda. For an alternate translation by Sri Aurobindo refer to the latter reference pages. The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973. Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak. English translation and excerpts from Sri Aurobindo's commentary recited by Santosh Krinsky
