निर॒ग्नयो॑ रुरुचु॒र्निरु॒ सूर्यो॒ निः सोम॑ इन्द्रि॒यो रसः॑ । निर॒न्तरि॑क्षादधमो म॒हामहिं॑ कृ॒षे तदि॑न्द्र॒ पौंस्य॑म्
niragnayo rurucurniru sūryo niḥ soma indriyo rasaḥ nirantarikṣādadhamo mahāmahiṃ kṛṣe tadindra pauṃsyam
He dispelled fires and making day, the sun arose; Indra tasted the juice unattainable by Soma. From the lower atmosphere he stretched forth great might, he brought the abundant draught.
When you had expelled the mighty Ahi from the firmament, then the fires blazed out, the sun shoneforth, the ambrosial Soma destined for Indra flowed out, and you, Indra, did manifest your manhood.
Bright were the flaming fires, the Sun gave forth his shine, and Soma, Indra's juice, shone clear. Indra, thou blewest the great Dragon from the air -. men must regard that valorous deed.
