May the guardian protect you; stand firm in great understanding. With your striving be allied; with the thunderbolt, O friend, strike—now breathe forth.
The strength of the rākṣasas is concentrated against you; bear up well against that mighty manifested (effort); scatter them, valiant (Indra), with your old associate, your friend, the thunderbolt.
The demon's strength is gathered fast against thee: great as that strength hath grown, go forth to meet it. With thine own ancient friend and companion, the thunderbolt, brave Champion! drive it backward.
