This mighty, potent poet among us — Vṛbhu — bore it; he sustained it, drawing up strength without pride, not making it arrogant.
This (Indra), adorable among us and brilliant, is a thunderbolt for the donor (of the oblation against hisfoes); he cherishes the exhilarating (worshipper) ūrdhvakṛśana, as Ṛbhu (cherishes) the exhilaratingcelebrator of holy rites.
Here, by us, for the worshipper, is the wise bolt that works with skill. It brings the bubbling beverage as a dexterous man brings the effectual strong drink.
