Sanskrit (Devanagari)
अम्यक सा त इन्द्र रष्टिरस्मे सनेम्यभ्वं मरुतो जुनन्ति | अग्निश्चिद धि षमातसे शुशुक्वानापो न दवीपं दधतिप्रयांसि
IAST Romanisation
amyak sā ta indra ṛṣṭirasme sanemyabhvaṃ maruto junanti | aghniścid dhi ṣmātase śuśukvānāpo na dvīpaṃ dadhatiprayāṃsi
English Translation (Griffith)
That spear of thine sat firm for us, O Indra: the Maruts set their whole dread power in motion. E’en Agni shines resplendent in the brush-wood: the viands hold him as floods hold an island.
