Sanskrit (Devanagari)
मन्दिष्ट यदुशने काव्ये सचानिन्द्रो वङकू वङकुतराधि तिष्ठति | उग्रो ययिं निरपः सरोतसास्र्जद वि शुष्णस्य दरंहिता ऐरयत पुरः
IAST Romanisation
mandiṣṭa yaduśane kāvye sacānindro vaṅkū vaṅkutarādhi tiṣṭhati | ughro yayiṃ nirapaḥ srotasāsṛjad vi śuṣṇasya dṛṃhitā airayat puraḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
When Indra hath rejoiced with Kāvya Uśanā, he mounts his steeds who swerve wider and wider yet. The Strong hath loosed his bolt with the swift rush of rain, and he hath rent in pieces Śuṣṇa's firm-built forts.
