त्वं तदु॒क्थमि॑न्द्र ब॒र्हणा॑ कः॒ प्र यच्छ॒ता स॒हस्रा॑ शूर॒ दर्षि॑ । अव॑ गि॒रेर्दासं॒ शम्ब॑रं ह॒न्प्रावो॒ दिवो॑दासं चि॒त्राभि॑रू॒ती
tvaṃ tadukthamindra barhaṇā kaḥ pra yacchatā sahasrā śūra darṣi ava girerdāsaṃ śambaraṃ hanprāvo divodāsaṃ citrābhirūtī
You, Indra, recited that hymn of praise; who counts the thousand brave ones you saw? From the mountain came the slave’s fall, the smashing of the flood; the bright heavens were filled with glory.
Indra, who are the subduer (of foes), you have achieved a glorious (deed), inasmuch as you have scatered, hero, the hundreds and thousands (of the host of Śambara), have slain the slave Śambara (when issuing) from the mountain, and have protected Divodāsa with marvellous protections.
Thou madest good the laud, what time thou rentest a hundred thousand fighting foes, O Hero, Slewest the Dasa Sambara of the mountain, and with strange aids didst succour Divodasa.
