Meaning of the Prayer Hymn:

 Then they (divines) said to Indra, "Oh the powerful! Find out who this Spirit is!"
He responded, "ok".
He rushed (to approach the Spirit).
From him, It concealed Itself!

 Notes: 

1. While the Yaksha had challenged the other two divines
- Agni and Vayu - It did not for Indra. Instead It concealed Itself.
Why? This riddle gets answered in the later verses.
