AV 20 76.1

वने न वा यो न्य् अधायि चाक्रं छुचिर् वां स्तोमो भुरणाव् अजीगः । यस्येद् इन्द्रः पुरुदिनेषु होता नृणां नर्वो नृतमः क्षपावान्

vane na vā yo ny adhāyi cākraṃ chucir vāṃ stomo bhuraṇāv ajīgaḥ | yasyed indraḥ purudineṣu hotā nṛṇāṃ narvo nṛtamaḥ kṣapāvān

As (a wheel) is set in the wood... the pure praise-song has roused you two busy ones. He whose hotṛ Indra is on many days, of men the manly, the most manly, the lord of night.

May we be to the fore of this dawn and of the next, in manly rank, the most manly of these men. Triśoka in succession brought a hundred men hither — the chariot that with Kutsa shall be the winner.

Urge on, as the sun (urges) its goal, to the far shore those who have come to his desire like bridegrooms; and the men, O mightily born Indra, who offer thee many songs along with foods.

In two well-measured measures indeed, Indra, are thy many (works): heaven by its greatness, earth by (thy) poetic skill. For thy choosing let the ghee-rich pressings, the sweet draughts, be pleasant to drink.

Indra, of good strength, has broken through the battle-lines; many (peoples) strive after friendship with him. Mount, then, as it were the chariot in the battles — (for) him whom thou wilt spur on with thy gracious favour.
