- नास्मै॑ वि॒द्युन् न त॑न्य॒तुः सि॑षेध॒ न यां मिह॒म् अकि॑रद् ध्रा॒दुनिं॑ च ।
इन्द्र॑श् च॒ यद् यु॑यु॒धाते॒ अहि॑श् चो॒ताप॒रीभ्यो॑ म॒घवा॒ वि जि॑ग्ये ॥- nā́smai vidyún ná tanyatúḥ siṣedha ná yā́ṃ míham ákirad dhrādúniṃ ca.
índraś ca yád yuyudhā́te áhiś cotā́parī́bhyo maghávā ví jigye. - The lightning and thunder failed to help him [against Indra]; the mist and hail that he spread around were similarly of no use to him.
When Indra and the Dragon fought, the Generous One [Indra] attained a victory for all times to come.
