They, having slain foes and ritual singers, drove them away upon the earth and brought the spoils with loud acclaim; with comrades in the field, with bright ones, with the sun present, the waters were victorious, with powerful thunderbolts.
Indra, who is invoked by many, attended by the moving (Maruts), having attacked the Dasyus and the Śimyus, slew them with his thunderbolt; the thunderer then divided the fields with his white-complexioned friends, and rescued the sun and set free the water.
He, much invoked, hath slain Dasyus and Simyus, after his wont, and laid them low with arrows. The mighty Thunderer with his fair-complexioned friends won the land, the sunlight, and the waters.
