त्वं कुत्से॑ना॒भि शुष्ण॑मिन्द्रा॒शुषं॑ युध्य॒ कुय॑वं॒ गवि॑ष्टौ । दश॑ प्रपि॒त्वे अध॒ सूर्य॑स्य मुषा॒यश्च॒क्रमवि॑वे॒ रपां॑सि
tvaṃ kutsenābhi śuṣṇamindrāśuṣaṃ yudhya kuyavaṃ gaviṣṭau daśa prapitve adha sūryasya muṣāyaścakramavive rapāṃsi
Why do you burn, Indra, with scorching zeal? Fight the dried foe with your thousand‑pointed might for the cows. At the tenth winning of the sun you turned away the hostile snares and dispersed the enemies.
You, Indra, with Kutsa, have warred against the inexhaustible Śuṣṇa; you have overthrown Kuyava in battle; in conflict you have carried off the wheel (of the chariot) of the sun; you have driven away the malignant (spirits).
With Kutsa, Indra! thou didst conquer Susna, voracious, bane of crops, in fight for cattle. In the close fray thou rentest him: thou stolest the Sun's wheel and didst drive away misfortunes.
