IAST Transliteration
índro aṅgá mahád bhayám abhí ṣád ápa cucyavat | sá hí sthiró vícarṣaṇiḥ
English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)
Indra, in sooth, confronted mighty fear, and drave it clean away. For he is steadfast, ruling far and wide among mankind.
Translation
ইন্দ্র সত্যই সেই মহাভয়ের মুখোমুখি হয়ে তাকে সম্পূর্ণভাবে তাড়িয়ে দিলেন; কারণ তিনি স্থির, মানুষের মধ্যে দূর-দূরান্তে শাসনকারী (বিচর্ষণি)।
