पु॒रू यत्त॑ इन्द्र॒ सन्त्यु॒क्था गवे॑ च॒कर्थो॒र्वरा॑सु॒ युध्य॑न् । त॒त॒क्षे सूर्या॑य चि॒दोक॑सि॒ स्वे वृषा॑ स॒मत्सु॑ दा॒सस्य॒ नाम॑ चित्
purū yatta indra santyukthā gave cakarthorvarāsu yudhyan tatakṣe sūryāya cidokasi sve vṛṣā samatsu dāsasya nāma cit
When men, yoked to Indra, stood firm, the cows sang and the best warriors fought on his behalf. The sun looked upon that place; his bulls were in the assemblies, and a certain servant’s name was noted.
Inasmuch, Indra, as many praises are yours, therefore, combating for the sake of (shedding) water on fertile (lands), you have effected (the discomfiture of its obstructors); you, who are the showerer (of benefits), have on behalf of the sun, destroyed in his own dwelling the very name of (the asura), Dāsa, in battle.
Thou, because many lauds are thine, O Indra, wast active warring in the fields for cattle. For Surya in his own abode thou, Hero, formedst in fights even a Dasa's nature.
