शेष॒न्नु त इ॑न्द्र॒ सस्मि॒न्योनौ॒ प्रश॑स्तये॒ पवी॑रवस्य म॒ह्ना । सृ॒जदर्णां॒स्यव॒ यद्यु॒धा गास्तिष्ठ॒द्धरी॑ धृष॒ता मृ॑ष्ट॒ वाजा॑न्
śeṣannu ta indra sasminyonau praśastaye pavīravasya mahnā sṛjadarṇāṃsyava yadyudhā gāstiṣṭhaddharī dhṛṣatā mṛṣṭa vājān
Indra established what remained on these two sides for that praised strength of the flowing wind. He created the host of stirrings: battle-roarers stood firm, courageous, eager, all powerful.
Let (your foes, Indra), humbled by the might of your thunderbolt rest in their own station, for your glory; when you move, (armed) with your weapons, you send down the waters; arresting your horses, increase, by your power, (the abundance of) food.
They through the greatness of thy spear, O Indra, shall, to thy praise, rest in this earthly station. To loose the floods, to seek, for kine, the battle, his Bays he mounted boldly seized the booty.
