Nine and his ninety pleasures the mighty ones opened with the thunderbolt; the Marut, praising Indra in the Trishtubh metre, struck the sky with speech.

Whereupon Maghavan has destroyed with his thunderbolt at once his (Śambara's) ninety and nine cities; the Maruts glorifying Indra in a common dwelling with the Triṣṭubh hymn, he destroyed the bright (city of the asura).
