Who bears his dry strength? One rich man fills it, unexpected. These, of this man’s clamor, O goddesses, Indra cast aside with fearsome might.
Who may resist the withering might of that Indra; he, single and irresistible, carries off the riches (of the enemy); these two divine (beings, heaven and earth), proceed swiftly through fear of the strength of the quick-moving Indra.
Who may arrest his strength or cheek his vigour? Alone, resistless, he bears off all riches. Even these Twain, these Goddesses, through terror of Indra's might, retire from his dominion.
