Sukta 2.17
भोजं त्वामिन्द्र वयं हुवेम ददिष्ट्वमिन्द्रापांसि वाजान् । अविड्ढीन्द्र चित्रया न ऊती कृधि वृषन्निन्द्र वस्यसो नः ॥
bhójāṃ tvām indra vayáṃ huvema dadíṣ ṭvám indrāpā́ṃsi vā́jān | avíḍḍhīndra citráyā na ū́tī́ kṛdhí vṛṣann indra vásyaso naḥ ||
We call you, O Indra, as the Enjoyer and Lord of the plenitudes; you indeed give the works and the vāja-force. Pierce through for us, O Indra, with your bright and varied help; make us, O Bull of power, possessors of the better state.
