अ॒भि यं दे॒वी निरृ॑तिश्चि॒दीशे॒ नक्ष॑न्त॒ इन्द्रं॑ श॒रदः॑ सु॒पृक्षः॑ । उप॑ त्रिब॒न्धुर्ज॒रद॑ष्टिमे॒त्यस्व॑वेशं॒ यं कृ॒णव॑न्त॒ मर्ताः॑
abhi yaṃ devī nirṛtiścidīśe nakṣanta indraṃ śaradaḥ supṛkṣaḥ upa tribandhurjaradaṣṭimetyasvaveśaṃ yaṃ kṛṇavanta martāḥ
To whom the goddess Nirṛti yielded and became lord of the region, the bright archer Indra, the autumnal one — they who fixed the threefold bonds, the aging-eyed, they who made the assembly — mortals declared him their lord.
Indra, the upholder of the three regions, whom the divine Nirṛti acknowledges as ruler, whom abundantyears pass over, whom mortals detain from his own abode, approaches to (recruit) his decaying strength.
Though Nirrti the Goddess reigneth round him, Autumns with food in plenty come to Indra. With three close Friends to length of days he cometh, he whom men let not rest at home in quiet.
