2 None who is born or being born, God Visnu, hath reached the utmost limit of thy grandeur. 3 Rich in sweet food be ye, and rich in milch−kine, with fertile pastures, fain to do men service. 4 Ye have made spacious room for sacrificing by generating Surya, Dawn, and Agni. 5 Ye have destroyed, thou, Indra, and thou Visnu, Sambara's nine−and−ninety fenced castles. 6 This is the lofty hymn of praise, exalting the Lords of Mighty Stride, the strong and lofty. 7 O Visnu, unto thee my lips cry Vasat! Let this mine offering, Sipivista, please thee.

2 And he, made beautiful by night, dips forward into strengthening food', 3 We cleanse this gladdening drink of his the juice which Indra chiefly drinks−−− 4 To him, while purifying, they have raised the ancient psalm of praise: 5 They purify him as he drops, courageous, in the fleecy sieve. 6 Soma, best Cheerer, takes his seat, the while they cleanse him in the bowls. 7 He is effused and beautified, a God for Gods, by skilful men. 8 Pressed, Indu, guided by the men, thou art led to the cleaning sieve.

2 He goes to end his work with lightning flashes: wide is the seat his Asura glory gives him. 3 On most auspicious path he goes to battle he toiled to win heaven's light, full fain to gain it; 4 Fighting for kine, the prize of war, and I roaming among the berd be brings the young streams hither, 5 Bold, unsolicited for wealth, with Rudras he came, the Blameless, having left his dwelling, 6 Lord of the dwelling, he subdued the demon who roared aloud, six−eyed and triple−headed. 7 He raised himself on high and shot his arrow against the guileful and oppressive foeman. 8 He, like a cloud that rains upon the pasture, hath found for us the way to dwell in safety. 9 He with his potent Friends gave up the mighty, gave gusnia up to Kutsa for affliction. 10 He, with his Gods who love mankind, the Wondrous, giving like Varuna who works with magic, 11 Through lauds of him hath Ausija Rjisvan burst, with the Mighty's aid, the stall of Pipru. 12 So, swiftly Asura, for exaltation, hath the great Vamraka come nigh to Indra.
