इन्द्रस्य कर्म सुकृता पुरूणि व्रतानि देवा न मिनन्ति विश्वे । दाधार यः पृथिवीं द्यामुतेमां जजान सूर्यमुषसं सुदंसाः ॥

Transliteration

índrasya kárma su-kṛtā́ purū́ṇi vratā́ni devā́ ná minanti víśve | dādhā́ra yáḥ pṛthivī́ṃ dyā́m utémā́ṃ jajā́na sū́ryam uṣásaṃ su-dáṃsāḥ ||

Translation

Viele sind Indras wohlgefügte Taten; alle Götter mindern seine Satzungen des Wirkens nicht. Er trägt die Erde und auch diesen Himmel; er ließ Sonne und Morgenröte geboren werden — von vollkommener, lichtvoller Kunst.
