saṃ yajjanau sudhanau viśvaśardhasāvavedindro maghavā goṣu śubhriṣu yujaṃ hya1nyamakṛta pravepanyudīṃ gavyaṃ sṛjate satvabhirdhuniḥ
He who yoked the noble herds, all-true and generous like Indra, Maghavas, in the pure cows: another deed he did not make; he drove forth the yielding kine—he produced cows with vital beings and offered them in sacrifice.
When Indra, the possessor of opulence, discriminates between two men, both wealthy, and exerting themselves (against each other) for the sake of valuable cattle, he takes one of them as his associate, causing (his adversaries) to tremble, and the agitator (of the clouds), together with the Maruts, bestows upon him herds of cattle.
When Indra Maghavan hath marked two wealthy men fighting for beauteous cows with all their followers, He who stirs all things takes one as his close ally, and, Shaker, with his Heroes, sends the kine to him.
