यो ह॒त्वा हि॒मरि॑णात् स॒प्त सिन्धू॒न् यो गा उ॒दाज॑दप॒धा व॒लस्य॑ । यो अश्म॑नोर॒न्तर॒ग्निं ज॒जान॑ सं॒वृक् स॒मत्सु॒ स ज॑नास॒ इन्द्रः॑
yó hatvā́ hím áriṇāt saptá síndhūn yó gā́ udā́jad apadhā́ válasya | yó aśmánoḥ antár agníṃ jajā́na saṃvṛ́k samátsu sá janāsa índraḥ ||
He who, having slain, set free the Seven Rivers; who drave the cows forth from the hiding-place of Vala; who generated Fire from between the stones, a comrade in battles—he, O men, is Indra.
इन्द्र ने सात नदियों को रास्ता दिया जब दुश्मन मारे गए। उसने वल की गुफा से गायें निकाल लिया। उसने पत्थर से आग पैदा किया जो लड़ाई में काम आता है। लोगों, वही इन्द्र है जो यह सब कर सकता है।
