He who with hostile zeal harassed the chariot, striking with violent shouts — if he cleft the column and laid low the foremost, the earthly one who first rose to heaven.

He who overpowered Krivi by his might and silences Suṣṇa with his weapons, when he spread abroadyonder sky and propped it up, then first the dweller on earth was born.

Praised, Indra, is this might of thine, best for the service of the Gods, That thou with power dost slay Vrtra, O Lord of Strength.
