To him the calves draw near and stand—ten, in harness, one-headed. With rays the firmament is borne and filled: great Indra comes, encompassed round about.
Sa kanya ang mga baka ay lumalapit at nakatayo - sampu, sa takbo, na may iisang ulo. Sa pamamagitan ng mga sinag ang kalawakan ay dinadala at pinupuno: ang dakilang Indra ay dumarating, na pinalilibotan sa paligid.
