येन मे पूर्वमद्रीणां पक्षच्छेदः प्रजात्यये ।
कृतो निविशतां भारैः पतत्त्रैः पततां भुवि ॥ ३४ ॥
yena-by the same thunderbolt; me-by me; purvam-formerly; adrinam-of the mountains; paksa-cchedah-the cutting of the wings; praja-atyaye-when there was killing of the people in general; krtah-was done; nivisatam-of those mountains which entered; bharaih-by the great weight; patattraih-by wings; patatam-falling; bhuvi-on the ground.
Indra thought: Formerly, when many mountains flying in the sky with wings would fall to the ground and kill people, I cut their wings with this same thunderbolt.
