These sacred words of lofty heaven hath the foremost, sun-winning one wrought into impetuous might for Indra. As self-ruling lord he holds dominion over the great cow-pen; overpowering, yea, he overwhelms the whole, like a flood, in glowing ardor.
Diese heiligen Worte des hohen Himmels hat der Vorderste, der Sonnengewinnende, zu stürmischer Kraft für Indra gefügt. Als selbstherrschender Gebieter hält er die Herrschaft über den großen Kuhpferch; überwältigend, ja, er überflutet das All wie eine Flut in glühender Glut.
