इन्द्रो॒ न यो म॒हा कर्मा॑णि॒ चक्रि॑र्ह॒न्ता वृ॒त्राणा॑मसि सोम पू॒र्भित् । पै॒द्वो न हि त्वमहि॑नाम्नां ह॒न्ता विश्व॑स्यासि सोम॒ दस्योः॑
indro na yo mahā karmāṇi cakrirhantā vṛtrāṇāmasi soma pūrbhit paidvo na hi tvamahināmnāṃ hantā viśvasyāsi soma dasyoḥ
Indra acted in mighty deeds, slayer of the Vṛtras, Soma the ancient. Born you're not the slayer of the hosts of the world today; you are the breaker of foes.
You, Soma, who like Indra perform mighty acts, are the slayer of the Vṛtras, the destroyer of those who are called serpents; you are the slayer of every Dasyu.
Like Indra who hath done great deeds, thou, Soma, art slayer of the Vrtras, Fort-destroyer. Like Pedu's horse who killed the brood of serpents, thus thou, O Soma, slayest every Dasyu.
