mṛgo na bhīmaḥ kucaro giriṣṭhāḥ parāvata ā jaganthā parasyāḥ sṛkaṃ saṃśāya pavimindra tigmaṃ vi śatrūntāḷhi vi mṛdho nudasva
The stag is not fearful; the curved-mouthed ones on high mountains overflowed and brought forth those beyond. O Indra, dispel doubt and tame the fierce enemy; do not be harsh, call him back from the ground.
Terrible are you as a wandering lion who dwells in the mountains; come from a far-off, distant (world);having whetted your rapid and sharp bolt, destroy our enemies, Indra, put to flight our opponents.
Like a dread wild beast roaming on the mountain thou hast approached us from the farthest distance. Whetting thy bold and thy sharp blade, O Indra, crush thou the foe and scatter those who hate us.
