स्ववृजꣳ हि त्वाम् अहम् इन्द्र शुश्रवानानुदꣳ वृषभ रध्रचोदनम् । प्र मुञ्चस्व परि कुत्साद् इहा गहि किम् उ त्वावान् मुष्कयोर् बद्ध आसते

svavṛjaṁ hi tvām aham indra śuśravānānudaṁ vṛṣabha radhracodanam | pra muñcasva pari kutsād ihā gahi kim u tvāvān muṣkayor baddha āsate

For I have heard of you, Indra, as one who bends things his own way, unyielding, O bull, as the urger of the feeble. Release yourself, come here away from Kutsa — why should one like you sit bound by the testicles?
