bhinadvalamaṅgirobhirgṛṇāno vi parvatasya dṛṃhitānyairat riṇagrodhāṃsi kṛtrimāṇyeṣāṃ somasya tā mada indraścakāra
With fierce thunderbolts and resounding cries they broke the hostile bands on the mountain; they cast down the brutal, craftily formed enemies — the Soma was theirs — thus Indra made them mine.
Praised by the Aṅgirasas, he destroyed Bala; he forced upon the firm shut (doors) of the mountain; he broke down their artificial defences; in the exhilaration of the Soma, Indra has done these (deeds).
Praised by the Angirases he slaughtered Vala, and burst apart the bulwarks of the mountain. He tore away their deftly-built defences. These things did Indra in the Soma's rapture.
