अनु॑ त्वा म॒ही पाज॑सी अच॒क्रे द्यावा॒क्षामा॑ मदतामिन्द्र॒ कर्म॑न् । त्वं वृ॒त्रमा॒शया॑नं सि॒रासु॑ म॒हो वज्रे॑ण सिष्वपो व॒राहु॑म्
anu tvā mahī pājasī acakre dyāvākṣāmā madatāmindra karman tvaṃ vṛtramāśayānaṃ sirāsu maho vajreṇa siṣvapo varāhum
Following you the lands nurture; the heavens performed the oblations of the intoxicated ones. You, with mighty thunderbolt, placed on heads the great boar that lay in springs of strength.
Then the vast, powerful, and immoveable earth and heaven animated you, Indra, to glorious needs, and you did hurl down into the waters, with your mightythunderbolt, the everywhere-spreading and destroying Vṛtra.
The mighty Heaven and Earth, those bright expanses that have no wheels, joyed, Indra, at thine exploit. Vrtra, the boar who lay amid the waters, to sleep thou sentest with thy mighty thunder.
