Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

एत उ त्ये पतयन्ति श्वयातव इन्द्रं दिप्सन्ति दिप्सवोऽदाभ्यम् । शिशीते शक्रः पिशुनेभ्यो वधं नूनं सृजदशनिं यातुमद्भ्यः ॥

etá u tyé patayanti śváyātava índraṃ dípsanti dípsavo ’dā́bhyam | śíśīte śakráḥ píśunebhyo vadháṃ nūnáṃ sṛ́jad áśaniṃ yātumádbhyaḥ ||

ഇവർ തന്നെയാകുന്നു പറന്നുനടക്കുന്നത്—നായപോലെ അലഞ്ഞുതിരിയുന്നവർ—അദാഭ്യനായ ഇന്ദ്രനെ പിടിച്ചെടുക്കാൻ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവർ. ശക്രൻ ദുഷ്ടർക്കായി പ്രഹാരത്തെ മൂർച്ചപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു; ഇപ്പോൾ യാതുമദന്മാരുടെ മേൽ അശനി (വജ്രം) വിടുന്നു.
