Sukta 6.17
एवा पाहि प्रत्नथा मन्दतु त्वा श्रुधि ब्रह्म वावृधस्वोत गीर्भिः । आविः सूर्यं कृणुहि पीपिहीषो जहि शत्रूँरभि गा इन्द्र तृन्धि ॥
evā́ pāhi pratná-thā mándatu tvā śrudhí bráhma vāvṛdhasvóta gī́rbhiḥ | āvíḥ sū́ryaṃ kṛṇuhí pīpihī́ṣo jahí śátrūn abhí gā́ indra tṛndhi ||
So behüte und nimm ihn an wie von alters her; er möge dich erfreuen – höre das Brahman, wachse auch durch unsere Lieder. Mache die Sonne offenbar; vom Soma anschwellend, erschlage die Feinde; treibe die Strahlen/Kühe zu uns, o Indra.
