A bull unyoked yields milk, a mighty slaughter, deep-voiced, the bellowing steed—resolute, the undefeated one praised the oblation, and Indra, skilful in sacrifice, produced the dawn.
Unequalled in liberty, the showerer (of benefits), the slayer of the malevolent, profound, mighty, (endowed with) impenetrable sagacity, the dispenser of prosperity, the enfeebler (of foes), firm (of frame), vast (in bulk) the performer of pious acts, Indra has given birth to the light of the morning.
The strong who never yields, who slew the furious fiend, the deep, the vast, of wisdom unattainable; Who speeds the good, the breaker-down, the firm, the vast,-Indra whose rites bring joy hath made the light of Dawn.
