He who is the mountain not bound to the earth, who poured out thousands and increased might in the hosts—Indra who smote Vṛtra and unbarred the waters, scattering the marshes and swallowing the floods, he brought ruin to the blind ones.
When Indra, who delights in the sacrificial food, had slain the stream-obstructing Vṛtra, and was pouring down the waters, he stood firm amid the torrents like a mountain, and endowed with a thousand means of protecting (his votaries) increased in vigour.
Like as a mountain on firm basis, unremoved, he, thousandfold protector, waxed in mighty strength, When Indra, joying in the draughts of Soma juice, forced the clouds, slaying Vrtra stayer of their flow.
