त्वम् इन्द्र प्रतूर्तिष्व् अभि विश्वा असि स्पृधः । अशस्तिहा जनिता विश्वतूर् असि त्वं तूर्य तरुष्यतः

tvam indra pratūrtiṣv abhi viśvā asi spṛdhaḥ | aśastihā janitā viśvatūr asi tvaṃ tūrya taruṣyataḥ

You, Indra, in the onslaughts overcome all rivals; you are the slayer of ill-speech, the begetter, the one who overcomes all; do you overcome those who would overcome (us).

AV 20 105.2

anu te śuṣmaṃ turayantam īyatuḥ kṣoṇī śiśuṃ na mātarā | viśvās te spṛdhaḥ śnathayanta manyave vṛtraṃ yad indra tūrvasi

The two worlds followed after your hastening fury, as two mothers after a child; all your rivals are pierced by (your) wrath, when, Indra, you overcome Vṛtra.

इन्द्रं तं शुम्भ पुरुहन्मन्न् अवसे यस्य द्विता विधर्तरि । हस्ताय वज्रः प्रति धायि दर्शतो महो दिवे न सूर्यः

Adorn that Indra for aid, O Puruhanman — he in whose sustaining hold (all things rest) doubly; to his hand the vajra was fitted, fair to see, like the sun to the great sky.
