By their own offerings they honored him, exalting the falling one with abundant light. The bull-like lord of the Danavas struck him with the thunderbolt and scorched him sorely.
The wielder of the thunderbolt, the render of the rain-cloud, has destroyed with his bolt the mighty Śuṣṇa, the wrath-born (son) of the Dānava, the walker in darkness, the protector of there showering cloud, exhilarating himself with the food of these (living creatures).
Him, whom the heavenly food of these delighted, child of the mist, strong waxing, couched in darkness, Him the bolt-hurling Thunderer with his lightning smote down and slew, the Danava's wrath-fire, Susna.
