Indra rose at dawn to slay the mighty Danava, undertaking the unseen deed. If, through the power of the thunderbolt, he gave riches, he made the lowly creatures of the world subdued.
When Indra raised his powerful irresistible weapon against the mighty Dānava, when he struck him with the blow of the thunderbolt, he made him the lowest of all creatures.
When 'gainst the mighty Danava his weapon Indra uplifted, power which none could combat, When at the hurling of his bolt he smote him, he made him lower than all living creatures.
