English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

He who with his means surmounted Śambara; who, fair-mouthed, drank of the pressed Soma; within the mountain, the sacrificer and the many folk in whom sank not in swoon—he, O peoples, is Indra.

Translation

Đấng nào bằng uy lực của mình đã vượt qua Śambara; đấng nào miệng lời đẹp đẽ đã uống Soma (Soma) được ép ra; trong lòng núi, đấng nào gìn giữ người chủ tế và bao dân chúng để họ không chìm vào cơn ngất lịm—hỡi các dân, chính Ngài là Indra.
