Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
This thine heroic power men of old time have known, wherewith thou breakest down, Indra, autumnal forts, breakest them down with conquering might. Thou hast chastised, O Indra, Lord of Strength, the man who worships not, And made thine own this great earth and these water-floods; with joyous heart these <A HREF="errata.htm#1">water-floods</A>.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.131.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
