Sukta 35
अ॒स्मा इदु॒ प्रय॑ इव॒ प्र यं॑सि॒ भरा॑म्याङ्गू॒षं बाधे॑ सुवृ॒क्ति। इन्द्रा॑य हृ॒दा मन॑सा मनी॒षा प्र॒त्नाय॒ पत्ये॒ धियो॑ मर्जयन्त
asmā́ id u práyaḥ iva prá yáṃsi bhárāmy āṅgūṣáṃ bā́dhe suvṛ́ktim | índrā́ya hṛdā́ mánasā manīṣā́ pratnā́ya pátye dhíyo marjayanta
To him, yea verily, as (men bring) refreshment which thou bestowest, I bring a laud of praise, a well-wrought utterance for repelling (harm). For Indra—by heart, by mind, by inspired thought—unto the ancient Lord, the Master, the devotions cleanse themselves for power.
Ihm wahrlich — wie (man) die Labung bringt, die du gewährst — bringe ich einen Lobgesang dar, ein wohlgefügtes Wort zur Abwehr (des Unheils). Für Indra — mit Herz, mit Geist, mit inspiriertem Denken — zum uralten Herrn, zum Gebieter: die Andachten läutern sich selbst zur Kraft.
