Preview of English translation:
6. Then as to why he draws the Marutvatiya cups. Now this, the midday pressing feast, is Indra’s special (nishkevalya) feast: thereby he strove to smite Vritra, thereby he strove to vanquish him. But the Maruts, having on that account withdrawn, were standing on an Ashvattha tree (Ficus Religiosa). Now Indra is the nobility, and the Maruts are the people, and through the people the noble becomes strong: therefore the two Ritu cups (they say) may be of ashvattha wood; but in reality they are of karshmarya wood.
