Sanskrit Original
ए॒वा स॒त्यं म॑घवाना यु॒वं तदिन्द्र॑श्च सोमो॒र्वमश्व्यं॒ गोः । आद॑र्दृत॒मपि॑हिता॒न्यश्ना॑ रिरि॒चथुः॒ क्षाश्चि॑त्ततृदा॒ना
evā satyaṃ maghavānā yuvaṃ tadindraśca somorvamaśvyaṃ goḥ ādardṛtamapihitānyaśnā riricathuḥ kṣāścittatṛdānā
Such is the steadfast truth of the bountiful ones: you, Indra, Soma and the steeds—these cows—stand firm. Even what was laid down as great offerings was taken; they fashioned hymns and gave threefold gifts with joyful heart.
Possessors of wealth, destroyers of foes, Indra and Soma, it is indeed true that you have distributed great numbers of horses, and of the cattle which had been concealed and the land which you had recovered by your strength.
So, of a truth, Indra and Soma, Heroes, ye burst the stable of the kine and horses, The stable which the bar or stone obstructed; and piercing through set free the habitations.
