मन्त्र 2

yaḥ pṛthivīṃ vyathamānamadṛṃhadyoyaḥ parvatān prakupitāṃ ramayāt । yo antarikṣaṃ vimame varimānaṃ yo dyāmastabhnātsa janasa indraḥ ॥

अनुवाद: He who made firm the trembling earth, who set at rest the agitated mountains, who measured out the vast middle region (atmosphere), and who propped up the sky—he, O men, is Indra.

This mantra highlights Indra's role as the supreme architect of the physical cosmos, stabilizing the earth, mountains, and sky.
