इन्द्रो॑ वृ॒त्रम॑वृणो॒च्छर्ध॑नीतिः॒ प्र मा॒यिना॑ममिना॒द्वर्प॑णीतिः । अह॒न्व्यं॑समु॒शध॒ग्वने॑ष्वा॒विर्धेना॑ अकृणोद्रा॒म्याणा॑म्
indro vṛtramavṛṇocchardhanītiḥ pra māyināmaminādvarpaṇītiḥ ahanvyaṃsamuśadhagvaneṣvāvirdhenā akṛṇodrāmyāṇām
Indra uncovered Vritra with stratagem and brought the spoils forth by the craft of his mind; he gave to the worshippers the rain, poured the wealth, and made the joyful streams to flow.
Indra, of glorious deeds, destroyed Vṛtra; resistless in combat, he has overcome the deceivers resolved to consume him; he slew the mutilated (demon lurking) in the woods, and made manifest the (stolen) kine (that had been hidden) in the night.
Leading, his band Indra encompassed Vrtra; weak grew the wily leader of enchanters. He who burns fierce in forests slaughtered Vyamsa, and made the Milch-kine of the nights apparent.
