satyamittanna tvāvām̐ anyo astīndra devo na martyo jyāyān ahannahiṃ pariśayānamarṇo'vāsṛjo apo acchā samudram
Truly there is for you another—Indra is a god, not mortal, greater in might. At daybreak he released waters around the gathered ones and sent forth the best of the seas.
Verily it is the truth, Indra, that there is no other such as you, no god nor mortal is (your) superior; you have slain Ahi obstructing the waters, you have set them free (to flow) to the ocean.
This is the truth, none else is like thee, Indra, no God superior to thee, no mortal. Thou slewest Ahi who besieged the waters, and lettest loose the streams to hurry seaward.
