IAST Transliteration

índra etám adī́dharat dhruváṃ dhruvéṇa havíṣā | tásmai sómo ádhi bravad ayáṃ ca bráhmaṇaspátiḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Indra made this firm—firm with a firm oblation. To him Soma spake assent thereon, and this Lord of Prayer as well.

Translation

อินทราทรงทำสิ่งนี้ให้มั่นคง—ให้มั่นคงด้วยเครื่องบูชา (havis) อันมั่นคง. โสมะ (Soma) จึงกล่าวรับรองแก่ท่าน และพรหมณัสปติ (Brahmaṇaspati) เจ้าแห่งมนต์สวด ก็กล่าวรับรองด้วยเช่นกัน.
