तव च्यौत्नानि वज्रहस्त तानि नव यत् पुरो नवतिं च सद्यः । निवेशने शततमाविवेषीर् अहं च वृत्रं नमुचिम् उताहन् ॥५॥

tava cyautnāni vajrahasta tāni nava yat puro navatiṃ ca sadyaḥ | niveśane śatatamāviveṣīr ahaṃ ca vṛtraṃ namucim utāhan ||5||

These were thy mighty powers that, Thunder-wielder, thou swiftly crushedst nine-and-ninety castles: Thou capturedst the hundredth in thine onslaught; thou slewest Namuci, thou slewest Vrtra.
