After this hero exult ye; this mighty Indra, O comrades, follow and together lay hold of him—village-winner, cattle-winner, thunderbolt-armed—conquering in the fray, smiting down with might.
Jubelt diesem Helden nach; dem gewaltigen Indra, o Gefährten, folgt und ergreift ihn gemeinsam — den Sieger über Siedlungen, den Sieger über Rinder, den mit der Vajra bewaffneten Arm — siegend im Kampfgetümmel, niederstreckend mit Macht.
