अ॒भीम॑वन्वन्स्वभि॒ष्टिमू॒तयो॑ऽन्तरिक्ष॒प्रां तवि॑षीभि॒रावृ॑तम् । इन्द्रं॒ दक्षा॑स ऋ॒भवो॑ मद॒च्युतं॑ श॒तक्र॑तुं॒ जव॑नी सू॒नृतारु॑हत्
abhīmavanvansvabhiṣṭimūtayo'ntarikṣaprāṃ taviṣībhirāvṛtam indraṃ dakṣāsa ṛbhavo madacyutaṃ śatakratuṃ javanī sūnṛtāruhat
The heroic ones, armed with greatness and wishful might, encompassed the atmosphere and regions with potent libations; the dexterous ṛbhus made Indra unerring, invigorating the centennial sacrifice and youthfully bringing praise.
The protecting and fostering Ṛbhus hastened to the presence of Indra, of graceful motion, and irradiating the firmament, imbued with vigour, the humiliator of his enemies, the performer of a hundred pious acts; and by them, encouraging words were uttered.
As aids the skilful Rbhus yearned to Indra strong to save, who fills mid-air, encompassed round with might, Rushing in rapture; and -o'er Satakratu came the gladdening shout that urged him on to victory.
