Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 2.5.3

índras turā́ṣāṇ mitró vṛtráṃ yó jaghā́na yatī́r ná | bibhéda valáṃ bhṛgúr ná sasahé śatrū́n madé sómasya

Indra the Overmasterer, and Mitra—he who smote Vṛtra—(he) brake the Yatis; he clave Vala asunder; like Bhṛgu he prevailed against the foes, in the exhilaration of Soma.

Indra, der Überwältiger, und Mitra — er, der Vṛtra erschlug — zerschlugen die Yatis; sie spalteten Vala; wie Bhṛgu überwältigte er die Feinde im Rausch des Soma.
