To him your share was assigned in the ritual, O Indra, by the gods with twofold sacrifice. For when his thunderbolt seized the enemy, it pierced the host and the fortresses of Dasyus were overthrown and streamed away.

Vigour has been perpetually imparted to Indra by his worshippers (with oblations), for the sake of obtaining rain; for which purpose they have plural ced the thunderbolt in his hands, wherewith,having slain the Dasyus, he has destroyed their metal cities.

To him in might the Gods have ever yielded, to Indra in the tumult of thebattle. When in his arms they laid the bolt, he slaughtered the Dasyus and cast down their forts of iron.
