Sukta 126

आ क्र॑न्दय॒ बल॒मोजो॑ न॒ आ धा॑ अ॒भि ष्ट॑न दुरि॒ता बाध॑मानः । अप॑ सेध दुन्दुभे दु॒च्छुना॑मि॒त इन्द्र॑स्य मु॒ष्टिर॑सि वी॒डय॑स्व

ā́ krandaya bálam ójo na ā́ dhā ábhi stan duritā́ bā́dhamānaḥ | ápa sedha dundubhe ducchúnām ít índrasya múṣṭir asi vī́ḍayasva

Roar forth; set for us strength and vigor; thunder against the evils, driving them away. O Drum, repel ill-hap: thou verily art Indra’s fist—show thy might.

গর্জে ওঠ; আমাদের জন্য বল ও ওজ স্থাপন কর। দুঃকর্ম-দুরিতের বিরুদ্ধে বজ্রনাদ কর, তাদের বাধা দিয়ে দূরে তাড়িয়ে দে। হে দুন্দুভি (নগাড়া), দুচ্ছুনা (অশুভ-অপশকুন) দূরে প্রতিহত কর; তুই নিশ্চয়ই ইন্দ্রের মুষ্টি—নিজ শক্তি প্রকাশ কর।
