यस्य श्रवो रोदसी अन्तरुर्वी शीर्ष्णेशीर्ष्णे विबभाजा विभक्ता । सप्तेदिन्द्रं न स्रवतो गृणन्ति नि युध्यामधिमशिशादभीके ॥

yásya śrávo ródasī antárurvī́ śīrṣṇéśīrṣṇe vibabhā́jā vibhaktā́ | saptéd índraṃ ná sraváto gṛṇanti ní yudhyāmadhím āśiśād abhī́ke ||

إندرا—الذي يملأ صيتُه الموحى به العالمين في سَعَتهما، موزِّعًا سيادته من قِمّةٍ إلى قِمّة—يمدحه سبعةُ رِشيّات كجداولَ جارية. وفي اللقاء القريب كبَتَ المهاجمَ المقاتل وأخضعَ الصراعَ حتى استكان.
