Sanskrit Original
वृ॒त्रस्य॑ त्वा श्व॒सथा॒दीष॑माणा॒ विश्वे॑ दे॒वा अ॑जहु॒र्ये सखा॑यः । म॒रुद्भि॑रिन्द्र स॒ख्यं ते॑ अ॒स्त्वथे॒मा विश्वाः॒ पृत॑ना जयासि
vṛtrasya tvā śvasathādīṣamāṇā viśve devā ajahurye sakhāyaḥ marudbhirindra sakhyaṃ te astvathemā viśvāḥ pṛtanā jayāsi
When you, friend of the Maruts, breathed upon Vritra, all the gods smote him. May the Maruts be thy comrades; with them, O Indra, you conquer with broad-throated shouts.
All the gods who were your friends forsook you, flying away at the snorting of Vṛtra; O Indra, let therebe friendship to you with the Maruts; then do you conquer all these hostile armies.
Never art thou neglectful: thou guardest both races with thy care. The call on Indra, fourth Aditya! is thine own. Amrta is stablished in the heavens.
