I indeed renounce you not, Indra; I, having heard, follow the famed bull’s call. Release from mockery and censure—why have you bound yourself with purses of thieves?
Indra, showerer of benefits, I have heard of you, the self-mutilator, the giver of unexpected strength,encouragin the prosperous; set yourself free from Kutsa, and come here; how should such a one as you remainso bound?
For, Indra, I have heard thee called Self. capturer, One, Steer! who never yields, who urges even the churl. Release thyself from Kutsa and come hither. How shall one like thee sit still bound that he may not move?
