4.28.1

त्वा यु॒जा तव॒ तत् सो॑म स॒ख्य इन्द्रो॑ अ॒पो मन॑वे स॒स्रुत॑स्कः | अह॒न्नहि॒मरि॑णात् स॒प्त सिन्धू॒नपा॑वृणो॒दपि॑हितेव॒ खानि॑ ||

ALLIED with thee, in this thy friendship, Soma, Indra for man made waters flow together, Slew Ahi, and sent forth the Seven Rivers, and opened as it were obstructed fountains.

4.28.2

त्वा यु॒जा नि खि॑द॒त् सूर्य॒स्येन्द्र॑श्च॒क्रं सह॑सा स॒द्य इ॑न्दो | अधि॒ ष्णुना॑ बृह॒ता वर्त॑मानं म॒हो द्रु॒हो अप॑ वि॒श्वायु॑ धायि ||

Indu, with thee for his confederate, Indra swiftly with might pressed down the wheel of Sūrya. What rolled, all life's support, on heaven's high summit was separated from the great oppressor.

4.28.3

अह॒न्निन्द्रो॒ अद॑हद॒ग्निरि॑न्दो पु॒रा दस्यू॑न्म॒ध्यंदि॑नाद॒भीके॑ | दु॒र्गे दु॑रो॒णे क्रत्वा॒ न या॒तां पु॒रू स॒हस्रा॒ शर्वा॒ नि ब॑र्हीत् ||

Indra smote down, Agni consumed, O Indu, the Dasyus ere the noontide in the conflict. Of those who gladly sought a hard-won dwelling he cast down many a thousand with his arrow.

4.28.4

विश्व॑स्मात् सीमध॒माँ इ॑न्द्र॒ दस्यू॒न् विशो॒ दासी॑रकृणोरप्रश॒स्ताः | अबा॑धेथा॒ममृ॑णतं॒ नि शत्रू॒नवि॑न्देथा॒मप॑चितिं॒ वध॑त्रैः ||

Lower than all besides hast thou, O Indra, cast down the Dasyus, abject tribes of Dāsas. Ye drave away, ye put to death the foemen, and took great vengeance with your murdering weapons.

4.28.5

ए॒वा स॒त्यं म॑घवाना यु॒वं तदिन्द्र॑श्च सोमो॒र्वमश्व्यं॒ गोः | आद॑र्दृत॒मपि॑हिता॒न्यश्ना॑ रिरि॒चथु॒: क्षाश्चि॑त् ततृदा॒ना ||

So, of a truth, Indra and Soma, Heroes, ye burst the stable of the kine and horses, The stable which the bar or stone obstructed; and piercing through set free the habitations.
