ārcannatra marutaḥ sasminnājau viśve devāso amadannanu tvā vṛtrasya yadbhṛṣṭimatā vadhena ni tvamindra pratyānaṃ jaghantha
I have offered here the Marut’s homage; all the gods partook of the food. For Vṛtra’s ruin and the slaughter he provoked, you, Indra, smote down the opposing host.
The Maruts worshipped you in this (encounter); all the gods in this engagement imitated you in exultation, when you had struck the face of Vṛtra with your angular and fatal (bolt).
The Maruts sang thy praise in this encounter, and in thee all the Deities delighted, What time thou, Indra, with thy spiky weapon, thy deadly bolt, smotest the face of Vrtra.
