AV 20 80.1

इन्द्र ज्येष्ठं न आ भरꣳ ओजिष्ठं पपुरि श्रवः । येनेमे चित्र वज्रहस्त रोदसी ओभे सुशिप्र प्राः

indra jyeṣṭhaṃ na ā bharaṁ ojiṣṭhaṃ papuri śravaḥ | yeneme citra vajrahasta rodasī obhe suśipra prāḥ

Indra, bring us the foremost, mightiest, satisfying fame, whereby, O wondrous one with the vajra in hand, O fair-lipped one, you filled both these worlds.

त्वाम् उग्रम् अवसे चर्षणीसहं राजन् देवेषु हूमहे । विश्वा सु नो विथुरा पिब्दना वसो ऽमित्रान् सुषहान् कृधि

You, the fierce, the overpowerer of peoples, we call among the gods for help, O king. Make all our unsteady things firm, O good one; make our enemies easy to overcome.
