He who ever gave me another to eat while I fasted, who met and struck down the hostile throng — who gives wealth and does not withhold what pleases, who destroys robbers: that Indra I know.
He, who with the thunderbolt has destroyed many committing great sin, and offering (him) no homage; who grants not success to the confident; who is the slayer of the Dasyus; he, men, is Indra.
He who hath smitten, ere they knew their danger, with his hurled weapon many grievous sinners; Who pardons not his boldness who provokes him, who slays the Dasyti, He, O men, is Indra.
