Do not make the steed or the charioteer weak; let not a tight bond be cut—the finest rein is not to be broken.

This Atri, whom the irresistible (asuras) dragged bound like a swift horse, you unloosed like a strongknot, (setting him) the youngest born upon the earth.

Ye freed that Atri like a horse, and brought him newly-born to earth. Ye loosed him like a firm-tied knot which Gods unsoiled by dust had bound.
