Those who come on to battle, having set their signals, troop by troop—Indra hath smitten them round about with a cord; those, O Agni, do thou bind fast together.
Mereka yang maju ke pertempuran, setelah menegakkan tanda-tanda mereka, berbaris pasukan demi pasukan—Indra telah memukul mereka dari sekeliling dengan seutas tali; mereka itu, wahai Agni, engkau ikat rapat bersama.
