Indra seized the realm on the left like the mighty-born vigor, as the bull plows. The waters gave birth to men who opposed the enemy; may the gods not leave the world unmade by their deeds.
You have been born, Indra, endowed with protecting and desirable vigour; benefactor of mankind, youdid drive away the man who was unfriendly(to us), you prepared a spacious region for the gods.
Thou, mighty Indra, sprangest into being as strength for lovely lordship o'er the people. Thou drovest off the folk who were unfriendly, and to the Gods thou gavest room and freedom.
