Sanskrit Original
न क्षो॒णीभ्यां॑ परि॒भ्वे॑ त इन्द्रि॒यं न स॑मु॒द्रैः पर्व॑तैरिन्द्र ते॒ रथः॑ । न ते॒ वज्र॒मन्व॑श्नोति॒ कश्च॒न यदा॒शुभिः॒ पत॑सि॒ योज॑ना पु॒रु
na kṣoṇībhyāṃ paribhve ta indriyaṃ na samudraiḥ parvatairindra te rathaḥ na te vajramanvaśnoti kaścana yadāśubhiḥ patasi yojanā puru
Not from hunger nor from thirst is thy chariot, O Indra, removed by seas or mountains. Not any one seizes thy thunderbolt when evil men fall upon thee, O mighty one.
Your might, Indra, is not to be overcome by (that of) heaven and earth; nor is your chariot (to be stopped) by oceans or by mountains; no one can escape from your thunderbolt, when you traverse many leagues with rapid (horses).
Not by both worlds is thine own power to be surpassed, nor may thy car be stayed by mountains or by seas. None cometh near, O Indra, to thy thunderbolt, when with swift steeds thou fliest over many a league.
