Together the singers made him resound—Indra—for Soma’s drinking: the Lord of Light, when for his increase, steadfast in his ordinance, he verily with vigor comes with gathered helps.
गाने वाले मिलकर इंद्र की महिमा गाते हैं। वो सोम रस पीने के लिए उसे बुलाते हैं। इंद्र रोशनी का मालिक है। जब वो बढ़ने लगा, वो अपना व्रत पक्का रख के आगे बढ़ा। उसने अपनी ताकत से सारे सहयोग इकट्ठे किए।
