अध्व॑र्यवो॒ य उर॑णं ज॒घान॒ नव॑ च॒ख्वांसं॑ नव॒तिं च॑ बा॒हून् । यो अर्बु॑द॒मव॑ नी॒चा ब॑बा॒धे तमिन्द्रं॒ सोम॑स्य भृ॒थे हि॑नोत
adhvaryavo ya uraṇaṃ jaghāna nava cakhvāṃsaṃ navatiṃ ca bāhūn yo arbudamava nīcā babādhe tamindraṃ somasya bhṛthe hinota
The Adhvaryu who struck the breast, who broke nine kinds of spears and ninety arms; who struck down the low Arbud, he harmed not Indra’s Soma — let him not diminish it.
Priests, propitiate, by the offering of the Soma that Indra, who slew Uraṇa, displaying nine and ninety arms; and hurled Arbuda down headlong.
Him who did Urana to death, Adhvaryus! though showing arms ninety-and-nine in number; Who cast down headlong Arbuda and slew him,-speed ye that Indra to our offered Soma.
