When, bearing the golden thunderbolt, and then the chariot which his two bays convey among the patrons, the Bountiful One taketh his station—Indra, of ancient fame, lord of the prize, the master of long renown.
जब इंद्र अपना सोना वज्र उठाता है, और अपनी रथ में बैठता है, उसके दो घोड़े उसे ले जाते हैं। वो पुराने नाम वाला इंद्र, इनाम का मालिक, वहाँ खड़ा होता है। लोग उसकी महिमा गाते हैं।
