У Индры — первая колесница,
У богов — следующая колесница,
А у Варуны — третья.

Она налетела на столб и разбилась (?).

The first of all is Indra's car, next is the chariot of the Gods
the third is Varuna's alone.
The last, the Serpents' chariot, struck the pillar and then sped
away.

To Indra belongs the first chariot, to the gods the second chariot, to Varuna, forsooth, the third. The serpents' chariot is the last: it shall hit a post, and come to grief!
