The stealer desires the mighty one, the wielder of the thunderbolt, with hostile snares and crooked deeds. A hundred, whether he scatters them in tumult or restrains them, the magician covets the foremost.

(Animated) by the libations offered by day and by night, (Indra) sharpens his vast thunderbolt against the beguiler (Vṛtra); he whose hundred (rays) attend him in his own abode, sending away, and bringing back (revolving) days.

With pressing-stones and with the bright beams of the day he hurls his broadest bolt against the Guileful One. Even he whose hundred wander in his own abode, driving the days afar and bringing them again.
