If Indra first, like a foremost mortal, did not act by deceit upon us, and did not fashion falsehood — he produced the sun, generated the dawn; he did not allow the foe to come between them.
Inasmuch, Indra, as you have divided the first-born of the clouds, you have destroyed the delusions of the deluders, and then engendering the sun, the dawn, the firmament, you have not left an enemy (to oppose you).
When, Indra, thou hadst slain the dragon's firstborn, and overcome the charms of the enchanters, Then, giving life to Sun and Dawn and Heaven, thou foundest not one foe to stand against thee.
