3.10.12

ekāṣṭakā́ tápasā tapyámānā jajā́na gárbhaṃ mahimā́nam índram |
téna devā́ vy àsahanta śátrūn hantā́ dásyūnām abhavac chácīpátiḥ ||12||

The sole áṣṭakā, paining herself (tapyá-) with penance, generated an embryo, a greatness, Indra; by him the gods overcame their foes; slayer of the barbarians became the lord of might (çácī-).
