The poet, youthful and vigorous, split open the town; Indra, upholder of the world by deed, was born mighty with a vigorous body, the thunderer who struck from the front.

Indra was born the destroyer of cities, ever young, ever wise, of unbounded strength, the sustainer of all pious acts, the wielder of the thunderbolt, the many-praised.

Crusher of forts, the young, the wise, of strength unmeasured, was he born Sustainer of each sacred rite, Indra, the Thunderer, much-extolled.
