Forth have they spread themselves, in pairs, the seekers of thy aid—winning the cattle-pen; they are able, O Indra, to release the cattle-wealth, to release it. When two parties, craving kine, and striving for the light, thou bringest into encounter—make manifest the bull-like might, the bolt that goeth with thee, O Indra, that goeth with thee.
दो लोग तेरे सामने खड़े हैं, दोनों तुझे पुकार रहे हैं। दोनों चाहते हैं कि गायें उनको मिलें। हे इंद्र, तू ही दिखा कि कौन सही है। तू अपनी ताकत दिखा, तेरा वज्र तेरे साथ है। तू फैसला कर दे।
