Mantra 2
Sukta 12
अयामि घोष इन्द्र देवजामिरिरज्यन्त यच्छुरुधो विवाचि । नहि स्वमायुश्चिकिते जनेषु तानीदंहांस्यति पर्ष्यस्मान्
ayā́mi ghóṣa indra devájāmir irajyánta yác churúdho vívāci | náhi svám ā́yuś cikité jáneṣu tā́nīd áṃhāṃsy áti parṣy asmā́n
I send forth the cry, O Indra, gods’ kinsman, eager, when the streams are spoken forth apart. For he heedeth not his own life among men: do thou bear us over—yea, over those distresses.
Rishi: Rigvedic seer-tradition (source-hymn dependent)
