Mantra 18
Sukta 126
अयमिन्द्र वृषाकपिः परस्वन्तं हतं विदत्। असिं सूनां नवं चरुमादेधस्यान आचितं विश्वस्मादिन्द्र उत्तरः
ayám índra vṛṣā́kapíḥ párasvantaṃ hatáṃ vidat | asíṃ sūnā́ṃ návaṃ cárum ādedhásyā́na ā́citam víśvasmā́d índra úttaraḥ
This Vṛṣākapi, O Indra, found the Parasvant, smitten down. A new sword of the sons, and the caru, and Ādedha’s wagon heaped with store—Indra is higher than all.
হে ইন্দ্র, এই বৃষাকপি পরস্বন্তকে—যে আঘাতে পতিত ছিল—খুঁজে পেল। পুত্রদের নতুন অসি (তরবারি), আর চরু (যজ্ঞ-পাক), এবং আদেধের সঞ্চয়ে পূর্ণ রথ—এই সবের ঊর্ধ্বে ইন্দ্র সর্বোচ্চ।
Rishi: Indra-cycle material (AV 20 largely Rigvedic; specific r̥ṣi uncertain from isolated verse)
