जातो व्यख्यत् पित्रोरुपस्थे भुवो न वेद जनितुः परस्य । स्तविष्यमाणो नो यो अस्मद् व्रता देवानां स जनास इन्द्रः

Born, he made himself manifest in the lap of his two parents; he knew not the worlds, nor the highest begetter. Yet, while he is to be praised, he who (guardeth) us from our ordinance—(and from) the gods’—he, O men, is Indra.
Geboren trat er hervor im Schoß seiner beiden Eltern; die Welten kannte er nicht, noch den höchsten Erzeuger. Und doch, der zu preisen ist, der uns bewahrt vor dem Bruch unseres Gelübdes und (des Gelübdes) der Götter — er, o Menschen, ist Indra.
