Sukta 6.21
स तु श्रुधीन्द्र नूतनस्य ब्रह्मण्यतो वीर कारुधायः । त्वं ह्यापिः प्रदिवि पितॄणां शश्वद्बभूथ सुहव एष्टौ ॥
sa tu śrudhīndra nūtanasya brahmaṇyato vīra kāru-dhāyaḥ | tvaṃ hy āpiḥ pra-divi pitṝṇāṃ śaśvad babhūtha su-hava eṣṭau ||
Therefore hear, O Indra, the new word of the one who seeks the brahman, O Hero, who upholds the poet’s work. For you are indeed the close kin in the fore-heaven of the Fathers; ever you have become the easy-to-call in the seeking.
