कन्नव्यो॑ अत॒सीनां॑ तु॒रो गृ॑णीत॒ मर्त्यः॑ । न॒ही न्व॑स्य महि॒मान॑मिन्द्रि॒यं स्व॑र्गृ॒णन्त॑ आन॒शुः
kannavyo atasīnāṃ turo gṛṇīta martyaḥ nahī nvasya mahimānamindriyaṃ svargṛṇanta ānaśuḥ
Praise him, mortal, who called the kin: they do not deny his great might; they proclaim the heavenly greatness of him who is swift in action.
What living mortal, the prompter of ever-rising (praises), may now glorify Indra? No one of thoseheretofore praising him have attained the greatness of the properties of Indra.
What newest of imploring prayers shall, then, the zealous mortal sing? For have not they who laud his might, and Indra-power won for themselves the light of heaven?
