एत उ त्ये पतयन्ति श्वयातव इन्द्रं दिप्सन्ति दिप्सवो ऽदाभ्यम् । शिशीते शक्रः पिशुनेभ्यो वधं नुनं सृजद् अशनिं यातुमद्भ्यः ॥२०॥ १०

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Here fly these dog-sorcerers (çváyātu); Indra the unharmable they the harm-seeking seek to harm; the mighty one (çakrá) sharpens his deadly weapon for the treacherous ones (píçuna); now may he let fly (sṛj) the thunderbolt at the sorcerers (yātumánt).
