4.2-2

enad brahma nediṣṭham antikatamaṃ priyatamaṃ pasparśuḥ spṛṣṭavanto yathoktairbrahmaṇaḥ saṃvādādiprakāraiḥ, te hi yasmācca hetoḥ enad brahma prathamaḥ prathamāḥ pradhānāḥ santa ityetat, vidāñcakāra vidāñcakurityetahrahmeti ||

touched It most proximately, and they knew It first as Brahman.

Since these gods—Fire, Air, and Indra—approached Brahman through conversation, visualisation, etc., tasmāt, therefore, ete devāḥ, these gods; atitarām iva, surpassed greatly, through their own excellence, i.e. good luck comprising power, quality, etc; anyān devān, the other gods. The word iva is meaningless or is used for the sake of emphasis. Yat agniḥ vāyuḥ indraḥ, (the gods) viz Fire, Air, and Indra. Hi, since; te they, those gods; nediṣṭham pasparśuḥ, most proximately, intimately, touched; enat, this Brahman; through the process of conversation etc., as described earlier. Hi, because, because of the further reason that; te, they; being prathamaḥ (should be prathamāḥ) first, being prominent; enat, this Brahman; vidāṁcakāra, (shoudl be vidāṁcakruḥ), knew, knew It to be Brahman.

4.2-2.p1

Since even Fire and Air knew from the words of Indra alone, and since Indra heard first from Umā's words that It was Brahman, tasmāt vai indraḥ atitarām iva, therefore Indra did excel (the other deities). Hi saḥ enat nediṣṭham pasparśa, inasmuch as he touched It most proximately, because saḥ hi enat prathamaḥ vidāṁcakāra Brahma iti—this sentence has been already explained.
