We bind our foemen with a bond that binds them close and holds them fast. Their breath and respiration I dissever, and their lives from life.
This bond, made keen by Indra, I have formed with heat of holy zeal. Securely bind our enemies, O Agni, who are standing here.
Indra and Agni bind them fast, Soma the King, and both the Friends! May Indra, girt by Maruts, make a bond to bind our enemies.
