Indra announced vast desires and brought them forth by his might. From him sprang greatness; by his spreading power all the worlds became.
Indra, as the accepter of the stale Soma, sustains infinite greatness, and has filled both heaven and earth by his magnitude; therefore has the vastness of him who has surpassed all the regions, exceeded (the world).
Indra, Impetuous One, hath waxed immensely: he with his vastness hath filled earth and heaven. E'en beyond this his majesty extendeth who hath exceeded all the worlds in greatness.
