विश्व॑स्मात्सीमध॒माँ इ॑न्द्र॒ दस्यू॒न्विशो॒ दासी॑रकृणोरप्रश॒स्ताः । अबा॑धेथा॒ममृ॑णतं॒ नि शत्रू॒नवि॑न्देथा॒मप॑चितिं॒ वध॑त्रैः
viśvasmātsīmadhamām̐ indra dasyūnviśo dāsīrakṛṇorapraśastāḥ abādhethāmamṛṇataṃ ni śatrūnavindethāmapacitiṃ vadhatraiḥ
From all sides Indra made the ten thousands of Dasyus shrink and heaped disgrace on those without praise. He laid low the deadly ones, found their foes, and with slaying strokes cut off their hostile companies.
Indra, you have made these Dasyus devoid of all (good qualities); you have made the races without rites abject; may you, (Soma and Indra), repel (and) destroy (your) enemies; accept (our) homage for their destruction.
Lower than all besides hast thou, O Indra, cast down the Dasyus, abject tribes of Dasas. Ye drave away, ye put to death the foemen, and took great vengeance with your murdering weapons.
