उप त्वा कर्मन्नूतये स नो युवोग्रश्चक्राम यो धृषत् । त्वामिध्यवितारं ववृमहे सखाय इन्द्र सानसिं

upa tvā karmannūtaye sa no yuvograścakrāma yo dhṛṣat | tvāmidhyavitāraṃ vavṛmahe sakhāya indra sānasiṃ

(We call) you near, for help in the work—he who is young, fierce, who strode boldly for us: we, your comrades, have chosen you indeed as helper, O Indra, as the winner of gain.
