SV 2 8108.1

त्वमिन्द्र प्रतूर्तिष्वभि विश्वा असि स्पृधः । अशस्तिहा जनिता वृत्रतूरसि त्वं तूर्य तरुष्यतः

tvamindra pratūrtiṣvabhi viśvā asi spṛdhaḥ | aśastihā janitā vṛtratūrasi tvaṃ tūrya taruṣyataḥ

You, Indra, in the onslaughts overcome all rivals; you are the slayer of ill-speech, the begetter, the vanquisher of Vṛtra: overcome those who would overcome (us).

Thou in thy battles, Indra, art subduer of all hostile bands. Father art thou, all-conquering, cancelling the curse, thou victor of the vanquisher!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 2 8108.2

अनु ते शुष्मं तुरयन्तमीयतुः क्षोणी शिशुं न मातरा । विश्वास्ते स्पृधः श्नथयन्त मन्यवे वृत्रं यदिन्द्र तूर्वसि

anu te śuṣmaṃ turayantamīyatuḥ kṣoṇī śiśuṃ na mātarā | viśvāste spṛdhaḥ śnathayanta manyave vṛtraṃ yadindra tūrvasi

After your speeding fury the two worlds went, as two mothers after a child; all your rivals give way before your wrath, when, Indra, you overcome Vṛtra.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

The earth and heaven cling close to thy victorious might, as sire and mother to their child. When thou attackest Vritra, all the hostile bands shrink and faint, Indra, at thy wrath.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
