अहे॑र्या॒तारं॒ कम॑पश्य इन्द्र हृ॒दि यत्ते॑ ज॒घ्नुषो॒ भीरग॑च्छत् । नव॑ च॒ यन्न॑व॒तिं च॒ स्रव॑न्तीः श्ये॒नो न भी॒तो अत॑रो॒ रजां॑सि
aheryātāraṃ kamapaśya indra hṛdi yatte jaghnuṣo bhīragacchat nava ca yannavatiṃ ca sravantīḥ śyeno na bhīto ataro rajāṃsi
Who saw Indra, the mover, in his heart that which struck fear away like a broken reed? And what new thing, and what that flowed not, the swift eagle not frightened, pierced the dust with his rays?
When fear entered, Indra, into your heart when about to slay Ahi, what other destroyer of him did you look for, that, alarmed, you did traverse ninety and nine streams like a (swift) hawk?
Whom sawest thou to avenge the Dragon, Indra, that fear possessed thy heart when thou hadst slain him; That, like a hawk affrighted through the regions, thou crossedst nine-and-ninety flowing rivers?
