He roused like a tempest, scattering fear and stirring forth the wild beast; Indra, raging like a great weight, slew the hostile foe who breathed fiercely.
Thereupon he fixed firmly heaven and earth, and resolutely advancing, filled (Vṛtra), like a deer, with terror, stripping off his covering, Indra, slew the Dānava, endeavouring to hide, and panting with affright.
Then heaven and earth he sundered and supported: wrapped even in these he struck the Beast with terror. So Indra forced the Engulfer to disgorgement, and slew the Danava. panting against him.
