मृगो न भीमः कुचरो गिरिष्ठाः परावत आ जगम्यात् परस्याः । सृकं संशाय पविमिन्द्र तिग्मं वि शत्रून् ताढि वि मृघो नुदस्व

Like a fearsome wild beast, roaming, mountain-haunting, may he come hither from afar, from the farther side. Whetting the jaw, sharpening the keen edge, O Indra, smite the foes asunder; drive them off, like a beast, away.
