Sukta 3.53

Rishi: Viśvāmitra (Kauśika)
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 3.53; this verse conforms to common Triṣṭubh cadence)

शंसावाध्वर्यो प्रति मे गृणीहीन्द्राय वाहः कृणवाव जुष्टम् । एदं बर्हिर्यजमानस्य सीदाथा च भूदुक्थमिन्द्राय शस्तम् ॥

śaṃsā́vādhvaryó práti me gṛṇīhí indrā́ya vā́haḥ kṛṇavāva júṣṭam | édaṃ barhír yajamānasya sī́dā́thā ca bhūd ukthám indrā́ya śastám ||

O Adhvaryu, antworte meinem Ruf und sprich das Wort der Zustimmung: Wir wollen den Opferweg, das Ausgießen (vāhaḥ), Indra angenehm und willkommen machen. Setz dich auf dieses heilige Streu (barhis) des Opferherrn; dann werde das feierliche Wort zu einem wahren Lob, für Indra geformt.
