Matched to this passage
Confirmed. The text the source says this recording recites matches this corpus's text for this passage.
The line behind the control
An accent trace: one turn for each of the 30 accent marks printed in this verse, a mark above the letter turning the line up and a mark below turning it down. It is derived from the text on this page and from nothing else. It is not measured pitch, not a reconstructed melody, and not a timing of the recording: the playhead moves across it because both run left to right, and no syllable is claimed to align with any moment of the audio.

How it was matched
Mapped from the canonical key to the source's own verse coordinates -- for the Rigveda through the Valakhilya edition permutation, since the source numbers Mandala 8 in Griffith's order -- and then confirmed by comparing the text the source states this recording recites against this corpus's text for the same key.

Translation

This thine heroic power men of old time have known, wherewith thou breakest down, Indra, autumnal forts, breakest them down with conquering might. Thou hast chastised, O Indra, Lord of Strength, the man who worships not, And made thine own this great earth and these water-floods; with joyous heart these <A HREF="errata.htm#1">water-floods</A>.
