Mantra 6
Aindra praise invoking Indra’s sovereign power to hear the stotra and grant victory, abundance, and unhindered ritual progress
बोधन्मना इदस्तु नो वृत्रहा भूर्यासुतिः शृणोतु शक्र आशिषम्
bodhanmanā idastu no vṛtrahā bhūryāsutiḥ śṛṇotu śakra āśiṣam
bodhanmanā idāstu no vṛtrahā bhūryāsutiḥ śṛṇotu śakra āśiṣam
Qu’il y ait pour nous l’Iḍā, offerte selon le rite, l’esprit éveillé ; que le Vṛtrahā, riche en libations, le puissant Śakra, entende notre bénédiction.
