When you had eaten the flesh of the three hundred buffaloes, when you who are Maghavan had drunk the three vessels of Soma, when he had slain Ahi, then all the gods summoned Indra, full of food, as if he had been a servant, to the battle.
When thou three hundred buffaloes' flesh hadst eaten, and drunk, as Maghavan, three lakes of Soma, All the Gods raised as 'twere a shout of triumph to Indra praise because he slew the Dragon.
