अ॒स्मा इदु॒ प्र भ॑रा॒ तूतु॑जानो वृ॒त्राय॒ वज्र॒मीशा॑नः किये॒धाः । गोर्न पर्व॒ वि र॑दा तिर॒श्चेष्य॒न्नर्णां॑स्य॒पां च॒रध्यै॑
asmā idu pra bharā tūtujāno vṛtrāya vajramīśānaḥ kiyedhāḥ gorna parva vi radā tiraśceṣyannarṇāṃsyapāṃ caradhyai
May this mighty burden fall upon Vritra, the thunderous ruler; O cows, may you wateredly go to the mountains and to the fertile realms of waters and to the streams.
Indra, who are the quick moving and strength-endowed lord (of all), hurl your thunderbolt against this Vṛtra and sever his joints, as (butchers cut up) a cow, that the rains may issue from him, and the waters flow (over the earth).
Vast, with thine ample power, with eager movement, against this Vrtra cast thy bolt of thunder. Rend thou his joints, as of an ox, dissevered, with bolt oblique, that floods of rain may follow.
