vitvakṣaṇaḥ samṛtau cakramāsajo'sunvato viṣuṇaḥ sunvato vṛdhaḥ indro viśvasya damitā vibhīṣaṇo yathāvaśaṃ nayati dāsamāryaḥ
The hour of separation churned at the sacred libation: the strong one stirred among the poisonous, the abundant one prospered. Indra, conqueror of the universe, stern and terrible, leads the mighty as he wills.
Thinning (his enemies) in battle, and accelerating the wheels (of his car), he turns away from him who offers no libation, and augments (the prosperity of) the offerer; Indra, the subduer of all, the formidable, the lord, conducts the Dāsa at his plural asure.
Exceeding strong in war he stays the chariot wheel, and, hating him who pours not, prospers him who pours. Indra the terrible, tamer of every man, as Arya leads away the Dasa at his will.
