When the bolt shone like gold, the chariot of the deer carried it with heroes. It stood: the mighty, renowned Indra, lord of the hymn, prolonged the fame of the thunderbolt's strength.
When he grasps his golden thunderbolt, then the opulent Indra ascends with his praisers, the chariotwhich his two bay horses draw, (Indra) the lord of long-celebrated and widely-renowned food.
When, with the Princes, Maghavari, famed of old, comes nigh the thunderbolt of gold, and the Controller's car Which his two Tawny Coursers draw, then Indra is the Sovran Lord of power whose glory spreads afar.
