Accept now this gift as our portion, we the bards declare what wins the feud; grasp not the magic of the scorched one—let not the Dasus drink that which harms them.
Handsome and sagacious Indra, this is your deed, that, slaying Ahi, you have here displayed your vigour; you have arrested the devices of Śuṣṇa urging the combat; you have overcome the Dasyus.
This is thy deed, e'en this, Wonderful! Singer! that, slaying Ahi, here thy strength thou showedst, Didst check and stay e'en gusna's wiles and magic, and, drawing nigh, didst chase away the Dasytis.
