Atharva Veda 20.21.10: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 21, Mantra 10
Sukta 21
त्वमा॑विथ सु॒श्रव॑सं॒ तवो॒तिभि॒स्तव॒ त्राम॑भिरिन्द्र॒ तूर्व॑याणम्। त्वम॑स्मै॒ कुत्स॑मतिथि॒ग्वमा॒युं म॒हे राज्ञे॒ यूने॑ अरन्धनायः
tvám ā́vitha suśrávasaṃ távōtíbhiḥ táva trā́mabhir indra tū́rvayāṇam | tvám asmaí kútsam atithigvám ā́yuṃ mahé rā́jñe yū́ne arandhanāyaḥ
Thou helpedst Suśravas with thine aids, with thy protections, O Indra, and Tūrvayāṇa. Thou, for him, didst bring Kutsa, Atithigva, and Āyu into subjection—unto the great king, the youthful one, to make all yield.
হে ইন্দ্র, তূর্বয়াণ! তোমার সাহায্য ও রক্ষাকবচ দ্বারা তুমি সুश्रবসকে রক্ষা করেছিলে। আর তারই জন্য তুমি কুত্স, অতিথিগ্ব ও আয়ুকে বশীভূত করেছিলে—সেই মহান, যুবা রাজার জন্য, যাতে সকলেই নত হয়।
