anu yadīṃ maruto mandasānamārcannindraṃ papivāṃsaṃ sutasya ādatta vajramabhi yadahiṃ hannapo yahvīrasṛjatsartavā u
If the Maruts sing slowly, they revere Indra with hymn and oblation of the noble; they took up the thunderbolt when the slayer struck, the giver of heroes was born.
When the Maruts worship Indra, exulting and drinking of the effused libation, he grasps the thunderbolt wherewith he destroys Ahi, and sets the abundant waters free to flow.
What time the Maruts sang their song to Indra, joyous when he had drunk of Soma juices, He grasped his thunderbolt to slay the Dragon, and loosed, that they might flow, the youthful Waters.
