vi. 103-

1. Tying-together may Brihaspati, tying-together may Savitar make for you; tying-together may Mitra, Aryaman, tying-together may Bhaga, the Açvins [make].

2. I tie together the highest, together the lowest, also together the middle ones; Indra hath encompassed them with a tie; do thou, Agni, tie them together.

3. They yonder who come to fight, having made their ensigns, in troops—Indra hath encompassed them with a tie; do thou, Agni, tie them together.

1. With tying-up, with tying-together, we tie up the enemies; the expirations and breaths of them, lives with life (ásu) have I cut off.

2. This tying-up have I made, sharpened up with fervor by Indra; our enemies that are here—them, O Agni, do thou tie up.

3. Let Indra-and-Agni tie them up, and king Soma, allied; let Indra with the Maruts make tying-up for our enemies.
