निरि॑न्द्र बृह॒तीभ्यो॑ वृ॒त्रं धनु॑भ्यो अस्फुरः । निरर्बु॑दस्य॒ मृग॑यस्य मा॒यिनो॒ निः पर्व॑तस्य॒ गा आ॑जः
nirindra bṛhatībhyo vṛtraṃ dhanubhyo asphuraḥ nirarbudasya mṛgayasya māyino niḥ parvatasya gā ājaḥ
He struck down Vṛtra from the mighty ones, flashing from the bows; he did not let the hunter’s prize, the cunning quarry, escape from the mountain—he brought it forth.
You have extirpated Vṛtra with your mighty weapons; you have been the destroyer of the deceptiveArbuda and Ṃgaya; you have extricated the cattle from the mountain.
Thou from the lofty plains above, O Indra, hurledst Vrtra down. Thou dravest forth the kine of guileful Mrgaya and Arbuda from the mountain's hold.
