Sukta 97
समि॑न्द्र नो॒ मन॑सा नेष॒ गोभिः॒ सं सू॒रिभि॑र्हरिव॒न्त्सं स्व॒स्त्या। सं ब्रह्म॑णा दे॒वहि॑तं॒ यदस्ति॒ सं दे॒वानां॑ सुम॒तौ य॒ज्ञिया॑नाम्
sám índra no mánasā neṣa góbhíḥ sám sūríbhir harívan sám svastýā | sám bráhmaṇā deváhitaṃ yád ásti sám devā́nāṃ sumatáu yajñíyānām
O Indra, lead us on with mind and purpose, with kine; in union with our bounteous patrons, O thou of tawny steeds, in union with welfare. In union with the prayer, with what is god-ordained and present, in union with the gracious favour of the gods, the worship-worthy.
O Indra, führe uns voran mit Geist und Entschluss, mit den Kühen; vereint mit unseren freigebigen Gönnern, o du mit den fahlen Rossen, vereint mit Heil. Vereint mit brahman, dem heiligen Gebet, mit dem, was göttlich gefügt und gegenwärtig ist; vereint mit der gütigen Gunst der Götter, der Opferwürdigen.
