न॒हि त्वा॒ शूरो॒ न तु॒रो न धृ॒ष्णुर्न त्वा॑ यो॒धो मन्य॑मानो यु॒योध॑ । इन्द्र॒ नकि॑ष्ट्वा॒ प्रत्य॑स्त्येषां॒ विश्वा॑ जा॒तान्य॒भ्य॑सि॒ तानि॑
nahi tvā śūro na turo na dhṛṣṇurna tvā yodho manyamāno yuyodha indra nakiṣṭvā pratyastyeṣāṃ viśvā jātānyabhyasi tāni
You are not the brave one, nor the rash, nor the fierce; you, thinking yourself a warrior, do not fight. Indra did not neglect them; he set aside all creatures and those born.
But you (no one) resists, neither the hero, nor the fleet runner, nor the resolute, nor the combatant confiding (in his valour); neither of these, Indra, is a match for you; you are superior to all these person ns.
Yet no strong man hath conquered thee, no hero, no brave, no warrior trusting in his valour. Not one of these is match for thee, O Indra. Thou far surpassest all these living creatures.
