Sukta 23
येन॒ ऋष॑यो ब॒लमद्यो॑तयन् यु॒जा येनासु॑राणा॒मयु॑वन्त मा॒याः । येना॒ग्निना॑ प॒णीनिन्द्रो॑ जि॒गाय॒ स नो॑ मुञ्च॒त्वंह॑सः
yéna ṛ́ṣayo bálam adyótayan yujā́ yéna asurā́ṇām áyuvanta māyā́ḥ | yénāgnínā paṇī́n índro jigā́ya sá no muñcatv áṃhasaḥ ||
Wherewith the Seers made strength to shine by yoking; wherewith they kept afar the Asuras’ wizardries; wherewith, with Agni, Indra conquered the Paṇis—may he release us from anguish.
Con aquello con que los Ṛṣi, al uncir, hicieron brillar la fuerza; con aquello con que mantuvieron lejos las hechicerías de los Asura; con aquello con que Indra, con Agni, venció a los Paṇi — que él nos libere de la aflicción (aṃhas).
