इन्द्रा याहि मे हवम् इदं करिष्यामि तच् छृणु । इम ऐन्द्रा अतिसरा आकूतिं सं नमन्तु मे । तेभिः शकेम वीर्यं जातवेदस् तनूवशिन्

O Indra, come to my call; this I shall do — hear it. Let these onrushers belonging to Indra bend my intention together (with theirs). With them may we be equal to heroic power, O Jātavedas, controller of bodies.
