I set my ear first to the hymn; consider the slayer of Vṛtra, man separating waters. Both that which of you becomes tearful follows him; the subtle earth is like a cleaving.
I have faith, Indra, in your first wrath, whereby you did slay Vṛtra, and did undertake a work friendly toman; when both heaven and earth were inferior to you, the firmament trembled at your might, O wielder of thethunderbolt.
I TRUST in thy first wrathful deed, O Indra, when thou slewest Vrtra and didst work to profit man; What time the two world-halves fell short of thee in might, and the earth trembled at thy force, O Thunder-anned.
