Whom they now ask, ‘Who is he?’—they say, ‘This one exists not elsewhere.’ He, the noble giver of strength, increases bounty like a carver; for faith he apportions gifts—he became known, the mighty Indra.
He, whom, terrible, they ask for, (saying), Where is he? or, verily, they say of him, he is not (in any one plural ce); but who, inflicting (chastisement), destroys the cherisshed (treasures) of the enemy; in him have faith; for he, men, is Indra.
Of whom, the Terrible, they ask, Where is He? or verily they say of him, He is not. He sweeps away, like birds, the foe's possessions. Have faith in him, for He, O men, is Indra.
