yvk.2.1 He whose prosperity is gone and who desires support should offer (a beast) with a spot on the forehead and horns bent forward to Indra, the conqueror of Vrtra; verily he overcomes the evil foe and attains support.
yvk.2.1 Indra slew Vrtra; him Vrtra slain bound with sixteen coils; from the head of Vrtra came out cows, they were (cows) of Videha; behind them came the bull.
yvk.2.1 Agni, being approached with his own share, burned into sixteen pieces the coils of Vrtra, and by (the offering) to Indra he bestowed power on himself.
yvk.2.1 Indra opened the hole of Vrtra; the topmost cattle he grasped by the back and pulled out; a thousand cattle followed it, it became hump backed.
yvk.2.4 Because he enveloped these worlds, therefore is Vrtra, Vrtra.
yvk.2.4 Vrtra entered him.
yvk.2.4 Vrtra is the belly; hunger is man s enemy; he who [6] knows this slays the enemy hunger.
yvk.2.4 c In the eastern quarter thou art king, O Indra In the northern, O slayer of Vrtra, thou art slayer of foes Where the streams [1] go, thou hast conquered; On the south be the bull whom we invoke.
yvk.2.5 In that he cast it (avartayat), Vrtra is Vrtra; in that he said, Hail! wax great, Indra s foe therefore [1] Indra became his foe.
yvk.2.5 Because he enveloped these worlds, therefore is Vrtra, Vrtra.
yvk.2.5 Vrtra offered at the full moon the oblation to the Vrtra slayer; they slay him at the full moon [4], but make him swell at the new moon; therefore verses are uttered at the full moon referring to the slaying of Vrtra, at the new moon referring to his increase.
yvk.2.5 Having performed the oblation to the Vrtra slayer, he took his bolt and again went against (him).
yvk.2.5 Indra thus impelled by these two slew Vrtra.
yvk.2.5 The gods having slain Vrtra said to Agni and Soma, Bear the offering for us.
yvk.2.5 They said, We two have lost our brilliance, our brilliance is in Vrtra.
yvk.2.5 When Indra had slain Vrtra, his enemies threatened him.
yvk.2.5 Indra, having slain Vrtra, lost the gods and his power.
yvk.2.5 When Indra had slain Vrtra, his power and strength went into the earth; then the plants and roots were born.
yvk.2.5 He ran up to Prajapati, (saying), Now that I have slain Vrtra, my power and strength [2] have gone into the earth; then the plants and roots have been born.
yvk.2.5 Indra having slain Vrtra went to a great distance, thinking, I have sinned.
yvk.3.2 Then said Indra, about to slay Vrtra, O friend Visnu, step thou more widely.
yvk.3.3 In that Indra, slew Vrtra, there is impurity, in that he destroyed the Yatis, there is impurity; then why is the sacrifice Indra s up to the completion? they say.
yvk.3.5 m Thee [3] the sage, Dadhyanc, Son of Atharvan, doth kindle, Slayer of Vrtra, destroyer of forts.
yvk.3.5 o Let men say too, Agni hath been born, slayer of Vrtra, Winning booty in every conflict.

yvk.4.3 dd Pierce Vrtra.
yvk.4.6 l Exalt our weapons, O bounteous one, Exalt the might of my warriors; Exalt the strength of the steed, O slayer of Vrtra, Let the sound of the conquering chariots arise.
yvk.4.7 c Of Indra first I reckon, the wise one; Praise of the slayer of Vrtra hath come to me, He who cometh at the call of the generous doer of good deeds [1], May he relieve us from tribulation.
yvk.5.2 Indra [1] hurled his bolt at Vrtra; it parted into three, one third the wooden sword, one third the chariot, one third the sacrificial post; the interior reeds which were crushed became gravel; that is the explanation of gravel; gravel is a thunderbolt, the fire is an animal; in that he supports the fire with gravel, he encircles with the bolt cattle for him; therefore cattle are encircled with the bolt; therefore the stronger does not receive the weaker.
yvk.5.4 Indra slew Vrtra; him Vrtra [3] slain grasped with sixteen coils; he saw this libation to Agni of the front; he offered it, and Agni of the front, being delighted with his own portion, burnt in sixteen places the coils of Vrtra; by the offspring to Visvakarman he was set free from evil; in that he offers a libation to Agni of the front, Agni of the front, delighted with his own portion, burns away his evil, and he is set free from his evil by the offering to Visvakarman.
yvk.6.1 Indra slew Vrtra; his eyeball fell away; it became collyrium.
yvk.6.1 Indra slew Vrtra, he died upon the waters.
yvk.6.1 Indra hurled his thunderbolt against Vrtra; it divided into three parts; one third the wooden sword, one third the chariot, and one third the sacrificial post [4].
yvk.6.1 Or rather they say, By Agni and Soma Indra slew Vrtra
yvk.6.4 Indra [2] slew Vrtra; he died upon the waters; of them what was pure, fit for sacrifice, and divine, that was set free.
yvk.6.4 Ye are savoury, conquerors of Vrtra he says; this is the Soma drinking of the waters; he who knows thus reaches not destruction in the waters.
yvk.6.5 Indra raised his bolt to hurl at Vrtra; Vrtra was afraid of the bolt when raised to be hurled; he said, Hurl it not at me; there is this strength in me, that will I bestow on thee on him he bestowed the Ukthya.
yvk.6.5 Indra in league with the Maruts slew Vrtra at the midday pressing; in that (the cups) for the Maruts are drawn at the midday pressing, they are drawn for the sacrificer as slaying the foe.
yvk.6.5 Of him, when he had slain Vrtra, the seasons were confused; with the season vessel he drew (the cups) for the Maruts; then indeed did he discern the seasons; in that (the cups) for the Maruts are drawn with the season vessel, (they serve) to reveal the seasons.
yvk.6.5 Indra having slain Vrtra went to the furthest distance, thinking, I have done amiss he became of bay colour, he saw these (cups) for the Maruts, to save himself; he drew them [2]; verily with the first he won expiration, with the second inspiration, himself with the third, (the cups) for the Maruts are drawn to save the self of the sacrificer; verily he wins expiration with the first, inspiration by the second, and himself with the third.
yvk.6.5 Indra slew Vrtra; the gods said of him, Great hath he become who hath slain Vrtra that is why Mahendra (great Indra) has his name.
yvk.6.5 He drew this libation for Mahendra, having slain Vrtra an being above the other deities; in that (the cup) for Mahendra is drawn, so the sacrificer draws this libation, being above other people.
yvk.6.5 Indra slew Vrtra; he forced out his skull bone, it became the wooden tub, from it the Soma flowed, it became (the cup) for the yoker of bays; he reflected regarding it, Shall I offer, or shall I not offer? He reflected, If I shall offer, I shall offer what is raw; if I shall not offer, I shall make confusion in the sacrifice.
yvk.6.5 He offers after putting it on his head, for from the head it sprung; he offers after striding, for Indra slew Vrtra afte striding; (verily it serves) for attainment.
yvk.6.6 When the sun is half set, he sets about the Stotra of the Sodasin; in this world Indra slew Vrtra; verily straightway be hurls the bolt against his foe.
yvk.7.4 Away the man, away the dog! b I and thou, Vrtra slayer, Have been united to win spoils; Even the foe, O hero with the bolt, Must think of us; Good are Indra s gifts.
yvk.7.4 c Thou hast surpassed in might, O Indra, on the earth The regions comprehend not thy greatness; For with thine own strength thou didst slay Vrtra; No foe hath found the end of thee in fight.
