त्वं ह॒ नु त्यद॑दमायो॒ दस्यू॒ँरेकः॑ कृ॒ष्टीर॑वनो॒रार्या॑य । अस्ति॑ स्वि॒न्नु वी॒र्यं१॒॑ तत्त॑ इन्द्र॒ न स्वि॑दस्ति॒ तदृ॑तु॒था वि वो॑चः
tvaṃ ha nu tyadadamāyo dasyūm̐rekaḥ kṛṣṭīravanorāryāya asti svinnu vīryaṃ1 tatta indra na svidasti tadṛtuthā vi vocaḥ
Now do you possess that strength, one‑man force against the Dasyus; there is indeed heroic might — Indra does not deny it; thus the seers declared it.
You are he who has quickly humbled the Dasyus; you are the chief one who has given posterity to the Arya;but, Indra, is not verily your power such? If it be not, then in due season confess.
Thou, thou alone, hast tamed the Dasyus; singly thou hast subdued the people for the Arya. In this, or is it not, thine hero exploit, Indra? Declare it at the proper season.
