yadinnvindra pṛthivī daśabhujirahāni viśvā tatananta kṛṣṭayaḥ atrāha te maghavanviśrutaṃ saho dyāmanu śavasā barhaṇā bhuvat
When Indra rent the earth with ten-armed might, all the creatures were pierced by his shafts. There your heroic might was heard; with you the firm earth and the sky, along with breath and oblations, were established.
Although, Indra, the earth were of tenfold (its extent), and men multiplied every day, yet, Maghavan, your prowess would be equally renowned; the exploits achieved by your might would be spread abroad with the heavens.
O Indra, were this earth extended forth tenfold, and men who dwell therein multiplied day by day, Still here thy conquering might, Maghavan, would be famed: it hath waxed vast as heaven in majesty and power.
