Sanskrit Original
न त॑ इन्द्र सुम॒तयो॒ न रायः॑ सं॒चक्षे॒ पूर्वा॑ उ॒षसो॒ न नूत्नाः॑ । देव॑कं चिन्मान्यमा॒नं ज॑घ॒न्थाव॒ त्मना॑ बृह॒तः शम्ब॑रं भेत्
na ta indra sumatayo na rāyaḥ saṃcakṣe pūrvā uṣaso na nūtnāḥ devakaṃ cinmānyamānaṃ jaghanthāva tmanā bṛhataḥ śambaraṃ bhet
Indra did not deem the good counsels nor the former splendours as new. They pierced the divine thought and struck down the great herd with mind and vast prowess.
Your favours, Indra, and your bounties, whether old or new, cannot be counted like the (recurring)dawn; you have slain Devaka, the son of Mānyamāna, and of thine own will, has cast down Śambara from thevast (mountain).
Not to be scorned, but like Dawns past and recent, O Indra, are thy favours and thy riches. Devaka, Manyamana's son, thou slewest, and smotest Sambara from the lofty mountain.
