I place my trust in you, in your first fury, when you slew Vṛtra and performed a manly work; when both world-halves tremble along after you, even the earth (trembles) at your fury, O stone-wielder.

I TRUST in thy first wrathful deed, O Indra, when thou slewest Vr̥itra and didst work to profit man; What time the two world-halves fell short of thee in might, and the earth trembled at thy force, O Thunder-anned.
