निरि॑न्द्र॒ भूम्या॒ अधि॑ वृ॒त्रं ज॑घन्थ॒ निर्दि॒वः । सृ॒जा म॒रुत्व॑ती॒रव॑ जी॒वध॑न्या इ॒मा अ॒पोऽर्च॒न्ननु॑ स्व॒राज्य॑म्
nirindra bhūmyā adhi vṛtraṃ jaghantha nirdivaḥ sṛjā marutvatīrava jīvadhanyā imā apo'rcannanu svarājyam
They struck Vritra beneath the heaven and upon the earth; the Maruts and generous ones created living wealth—these waters, by their might, established his realm.
Youu have struck Vṛtra from off the earth and from heaven; (now) let loose the wind-bound, life-sustaining rain, manifesting your own sovereignty.
Thou smotest Vrtra from the earth, smotest him, Indra, from the sky. Let these life-fostering waters flow attended by the Marut host, lauding thine own imperial sway.
