Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. Of the givers of plenty, Indra is the Will to give ; of the laudable, Varuna is the excellently laudable. Thus ends the thirty-second group in the first Chapter of the first Eighth.

Commentary

indraḥ Indra; sahasradāvnām thousand indicates plenty, of the givers of various plenty of knowledge, strength and the like; kratuḥ who becomes the strong will to give, the maker of the gift or its author; varuṇaḥ Varuna; śamsyānām of the laudable; ukthyaḥ superbly laudable; bhavati becomes.

ukthyaḥ: uktham praise, there becoming as laudable; ya is Vedic in the sense of becoming.
