Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सतुत इन्द्रो मघवा यद ध वर्त्रा भूरीण्य एको अप्रतीनि हन्ति | अस्य परियो जरिता यस्य शर्मन नकिर देवा वारयन्ते न मर्ताः

IAST Romanisation

stuta indro maghavā yad dha vṛtrā bhūrīṇy eko apratīni hanti | asya priyo jaritā yasya śarman nakir devā vārayante na martāḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Alone, when Indra Maghavan is lauded, he slayeth many ne’er-resisted Vṛtras. Him in whose keeping is the well-loved singer never do Gods or mortals stay or hinder.
