Thus your folk discovered me fierce in deed and action; O Indra, the gods urged the slaying of Vritra with the thunderbolt. With vigor we marched forth, conquering by might.
Since, Indra, the gods have known me to be powerful, fierce in every act, the showerer (of oblations);exulting I have slain Vṛtra with your thunderbolt, and by my might have opened the clouds for the donor (ofoblations).
Yea, and the Gods have known me also, Indra, as mighty, fierce and strong in every exploit. Exulting with the bolt I slaughtered Vrtra, and for the offerer oped with might the cow-stall.
