सना ता त इन्द्र नव्या आगुः सहो नभोऽविरणाय पूर्वीः । भिनत्पुरो न भिदो अदेवीर्ननमो वधरदेवस्य पीयोः ॥

sanā́ tā́ ta indra návyā ā́guḥ sáho nábho ’ví-raṇāya pūrvī́ḥ | bhínat púro ná bhído ádevīr nánamo vádhar ádevasya pīyóḥ ||

Von alters her und immer wieder neu sind diese deinen Kräfte gekommen, o Indra: die Mächte des Himmels zum Sieg ohne Schlacht. Du zerbrichst die Burgen, wie man die Brecher zerbricht; vor dir beugt sich die Waffe des Un-göttlichen — dir, dem Trinker der ausgepressten Wonne (Soma).
