अध॒ त्विषी॑माँ अ॒भ्योज॑सा॒ क्रिविं॑ यु॒धाभ॑व॒दा रोद॑सी अपृणदस्य म॒ज्मना॒ प्र वा॑वृधे । अध॑त्ता॒न्यं ज॒ठरे॒ प्रेम॑रिच्यत॒ सैनं॑ सश्चद्दे॒वो दे॒वं स॒त्यमिन्द्रं॑ स॒त्य इन्दुः॑
adha tviṣīmām̐ abhyojasā kriviṃ yudhābhavadā rodasī apṛṇadasya majmanā pra vāvṛdhe adhattānyaṃ jaṭhare premaricyata sainaṃ saścaddevo devaṃ satyamindraṃ satya induḥ
He met the tireless steed in battle, the spear-form came forth in the fray; the host advanced. He set another in the belly of the foe, the beloved army increased. He gave the marching band—gods accompanied—to the true Indra, the true Indu declared.
Thereupon, resplendent, he has overcome Krivi in conflict by his prowess;he has filled heaven and earth (with his lustre), and has been invigorated by the efficacy of the draught; one portion he has taken to himself; the other he has distributed (to the gods); may that divine (Soma) pervade the divine (Indra), the true Soma, the true (Indra).
So he resplendent in the battle overcame Krivi by might. He with his majesty hath filled the earth and heaven, and waxen strong. One share of the libation hath he swallowed down: one share he left. So may the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.
