Not of the axle nor of the wheel are your mighty ones; great from you they moved, stirring the two courses of the sky and earth. For the tree the chief priest invoked the ancient mighty ones, Indra’s forerunners.
Mighty hero, by your magnitude, (the exten) of heaven and earth is exceeded, as the axle by the (circumerfence of the) wheels; invoked of many, your numerous benefits, Indra, spread out like the branches of a tree.
The lofty axle of thy wheels, O Hero, is not surpassed by heaven and earth in greatness. Like branches of a tree, Invoked of many manifold aids spring forth from thee, O Indra.
