इन्द्रं तं शुम्भ पुरुहन्मन्नवसे यस्य द्विता विधर्तरि । हस्ताय वज्रः प्रति धायि दर्शतो महो दिवे न सूर्यः

Adorn in song that Indra, O slayer of many, for our succour—whose thunderbolt was set into his hand, in double wise, by the Sustainer—splendid to behold, great for heaven, as is the Sun.
Schmücke im Gesang jenen Indra, o Vielerschläger, zu unserer Hilfe—dessen Vajra der Erhalter (Vidhartar) ihm in doppelter Weise in die Hand legte; herrlich anzuschauen, groß für den Himmel, wie die Sonne.
