इन्द्रः पूर्भिदातिरद्दासमर्कैर्विदद्वसुर्दयमानो वि शत्रून् ।

Indra is the breaker of forts. He crossed over the Dasa, finding wealth through songs of praise, bestowing gifts, and driving the foes apart. Impelled by the sacred word, growing strong in his own body, he filled both worlds for the great giver.

Indra, with strength as his guide, held back Vṛtra; with his guiding form he destroyed the deceivers. In the forests he slew the broad-shouldered Vyaṃsa and the bull Uśadhak; he brought the cows, hidden in darkness, out into the open.

The mighty deeds of the great Indra, many and well done, are praised. With his might he utterly crushed the wicked; with his illusions he overcame the dasyus, he whose power overwhelms all.

हिरण्ययमुत भोगं ससान हत्वी दस्यून् प्रार्यं वर्णमावत् ॥ २०.११.९ ॥
He won the swift steed, and he won the sun; Indra won the cow of many enjoyments; he won the golden enjoyment too; having slain the dasyus he protected the Ārya class.

In this contest, in the struggle for spoils, we call upon Indra, the bountiful and most manly, for good fortune: the one who hears, the fierce, who in the battles strikes down the obstructers for protection, the conqueror of riches.
