Sukta 108

Mantra 1

त्वं न इन्द्रा भरं ओजो नृम्णं शतक्रतो विचर्षणे । आ वीरं पृतनाषहम्

Do thou, O Indra, bring unto us might and manly force, O Hundred-powered, far-ruling one; bring hither a hero, battle-overcoming.

Mantra 2

त्वं हि नः पिता वसो त्वं माता शतक्रतो बभूविथ । अधा ते सुम्नमीमहे

For thou, O bounteous one, hast been our Father; thou our Mother, O Hundred-powered: therefore we crave of thee thy gracious favor.

Mantra 3

त्वां शुष्मिन् पुरुहूत वाजयन्तमुप ब्रुवे शतक्रतो । स नो रास्व सुवीर्यम्

Thee, O mighty one, much-invoked, prize-winning, I draw near to address, O Hundred-powered: do thou grant unto us good heroism.
