ta innvasya madhumadvivipra indrasya śardho maruto ya āsan yebhirvṛtrasyeṣito vivedāmarmaṇo manyamānasya marma
He poured the honeyed drink into Indra; with Maruts’ backing he sat as hero. Those who in Vritra’s straits knew the hidden purpose pierced the secret of the thoughtful one.
Those were the Maruts who were the strength of Indra, and genitive ly encouraged him; animated by whom he pierced the vital part of Vṛtra, fancying himself vulnerable.
They, even the Maruts who were there, excited with song the meath-created strength of Indra. By them impelled to act he reached the vitals Of Vrtra, though he deemed that none might wound him.
