अ॒या ह॒ त्यं मा॒यया॑ वावृधा॒नं म॑नो॒जुवा॑ स्वतवः॒ पर्व॑तेन । अच्यु॑ता चिद्वीळि॒ता स्वो॑जो रु॒जो वि दृ॒ळ्हा धृ॑ष॒ता वि॑रप्शिन्
ayā ha tyaṃ māyayā vāvṛdhānaṃ manojuvā svatavaḥ parvatena acyutā cidvīḷitā svojo rujo vi dṛḷhā dhṛṣatā virapśin
This bestowing was not by deceit but by mind-born heroes, increasing with sovereign thought from the mountain; unshaken, they moved with lively vigour, resolute and brave.
Self-invigorated Indra, you have crushed by your knotted (thunderbolt), quick as thought, that Vṛtra, growing in strength by this cunning; very radiant and mighty (Indra), you have demolished by (your) irresistible (shaft) the unyielding, compact, and strong (cities of the asuras).
Strong of thyself, thou by this art hast shattered, with thought-swift Parvata, him who waxed against thee, And, Mightiest! roaring! boldly rent in pieces things that were firmly fixed and never shaken.
