The horse sacrifice performed by the saintly brāhmaṇas relieved Indra of the reactions to all his sins because he worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead in that sacrifice. O King, although he had committed a gravely sinful act, it was nullified at once by that sacrifice, just as fog is vanquished by the brilliant sunrise.

Translation
When the sages performed the horse sacrifice and Indra worshipped the Supreme Lord, the sin of killing Vṛtrāsura was completely destroyed, like the sun dissipating fog.
