vadhīdindro varaśikhasya śeṣo'bhyāvartine cāyamānāya śikṣan vṛcīvato yaddhariyūpīyāyāṃ hanpūrve ardhe bhiyasāparo dart
Indra struck down the remnant on the peak and smote the returning foe; like Vr̥ci’s sons who seized the udders he laid hold on the half before, the pair of frightful ones.
Favouring Abhyāvartin, the son of Cāyamāna, Indra destroyed the varaśikha (people), killng the descendants of Vṛcīvat, (who were stationed) on the Hariyūpīya, on the eastern part, while the western (troop) was scattered through fear.
In aid of Abhyavartin Cayamana, Indra destroyed the seed of Varasikha. At Hariyupiya he smote the vanguard of the Vrcivans, and the rear fled frighted.
