श॒तानी॑का हे॒तयो॑ अस्य दु॒ष्टरा॒ इन्द्र॑स्य स॒मिषो॑ म॒हीः । गि॒रिर्न भु॒ज्मा म॒घव॑त्सु पिन्वते॒ यदीं॑ सु॒ता अम॑न्दिषुः
śatānīkā hetayo asya duṣṭarā indrasya samiṣo mahīḥ girirna bhujmā maghavatsu pinvate yadīṃ sutā amandiṣuḥ
Countless are the causes of Indra’s foes and the earth’s hostile plots. The mountain does not chew the generous one; if the well-born lack sustenance, they fall.
Invincible are his hundred-edged weapons, he mighty arrows of Indra; he pours forth blessings on hisliberal worshippers like a mountain rich in springs, when the effused Soma has exhilarated him.
For him, strong, independent Ruler, Heaven and Earth have fashioned forth for power and might. Thou seatest thee as first among thy peers in place, for thy soul longs for Soma juice.
