Let ravens and strong-pinioned birds pursue them: yea, let that army be the food of vultures!
Indra, let none escape, no sin-remover: behind them all let following birds be gathered!

This host of foemen Maghavan! that cometh on in warlike show--
Meet it, O Vritra-slayer, thou, Indra, and Agni, with your flames!

There where the flights of arrows fall like boys whose locks are yet unshorn.
Even there may Brahmanaspati, may Aditi protect us well, protect us well through all our days!
