Sukta 39
अच्छा न इन्द्रं यशसं यशोभिर्यशस्विनं नमसाना विधेम । स नो रास्व राष्ट्रमिन्द्रजूतं तस्य ते रातौ यशसः स्याम
ácchā na índraṃ yaśásaṃ yáśobhir yaśasvínaṃ namasānā́ vidhéma | sá no rāsva rāṣṭrám índrajūtaṃ tásya te rātáu yaśásaḥ syāma ||
Hither to Indra, glorious, with our glories, to the fame-bestower, bowing we would do service. Do thou bestow on us a realm, Indra-impelled; in that thy giving may we be men of glory.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (Anukramaṇī attribution varies; commonly treated as a royal/prosperity prayer)
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (by cadence and length; common for Indraic royal petitions)
