Sukta 118
शग्ध्यू३षु शचीपत इन्द्र विश्वाभिरूतिभिः । भगं न हि त्वा यशसं वसुविदमनु शूर चरामसि
śágdhy ù íṣu śacīpate índra víśvābhir ūtíbhiḥ | bhágaṃ ná hí tvā yaśásaṃ vasuvídam ánu śūra cárāmasi
Be strong to aid us, O lord of Śacī, O Indra, with all thy succours: for, like Bhaga, thee—glorious, wealth-finding—O Hero, we follow after.
Rishi: RV provenance (Indra hymn tradition; specific ṛṣi attribution depends on RV parallel identification)
Devata: Indra (with Bhaga as comparative figure of fortune)
Chandas: Gāyatrī/Anuṣṭubh-like short cadence (to be confirmed against RV parallel).
