इन्द्र॑ जा॒मय॑ उ॒त येऽजा॑मयोऽर्वाची॒नासो॑ व॒नुषो॑ युयु॒ज्रे । त्वमे॑षां विथु॒रा शवां॑सि ज॒हि वृष्ण्या॑नि कृणु॒ही परा॑चः
indra jāmaya uta ye'jāmayo'rvācīnāso vanuṣo yuyujre tvameṣāṃ vithurā śavāṃsi jahi vṛṣṇyāni kṛṇuhī parācaḥ
Indra struck down those born of night, the hostile speakers who ranged among the people. You destroyed their formations like carcasses; drive away their fierce offspring, make a separation.
Annihilate, Indra, the strength of those who, whether kinsmen or unrelated, present themselves before us, exerting themselves as adversaries; enfeeble their prowess, put them to fight.
Those who array themselves as foes to smite us, O Indra, be they kin or be they strangers,- Strike thou their manly strength that it be feeble, and drive in headlong flight our foemen backward.
