so aṅgirasāmucathā jujuṣvānbrahmā tūtodindro gātumiṣṇan muṣṇannuṣasaḥ sūryeṇa stavānaśnasya cicchiśnathatpūrvyāṇi
Thus Agni was entreated, likewise Br̥haspati; Indra, desiring to go, longed to come. Warming himself like heats of the sun, he tasted hymns and consumed the former offerings.
Propitiated by the hymns of the Aṅgirasas, Indra granted their prayer, and directed them on the way (to recover their cattle); carrying off the dawns by the (light of the) sun, he, animated by praise, demolished the ancient cities of Aśna.
He, Indra whom the Angirases' praise delighted, strengthened their prayer and made their goings prosper. Stealing away the mornings with the sunlight, he, lauded, crushed even Asna's ancient powers.
