jaghāna vṛtraṃ svadhitirvaneva ruroja puro aradan nasindhūn | bibheda ghiriṃ navamin na kumbhamā ghā indroakṛṇuta svayughbhiḥ

As an axe fells the tree so be slew Vṛtra, brake down the strongholds and dug out the rivers. He cleft the mountain like a new-made pitcher. Indra brought forth the kine with his Companions.
