Sukta 21
य इन्द्रे॑ण स॒रथं॒ याति॑ दे॒वो वै॑श्वान॒र उ॒त वि॑श्वदा॒व्यः । यं जोह॑वीमि॒ पृत॑नासु सास॒हिं तेभ्यो॑ अ॒ग्निभ्यो॑ हु॒तम॑स्त्वे॒तत्
yá índreṇa sa-rátham yā́ti devó vaiśvānará utá viśvadā́vyaḥ | yáṁ jóhavīmi pṛ́tanāsu sāsahíṁ tébhyo agníbhyo hútam astv etát
He who with Indra rideth on one car, the god Vaiśvānara, yea, all-conquering; whom I invoke in battles as the overmastering victor—to those Fires let this oblation be offered.
જે દેવ ઇન્દ્ર સાથે એક જ રથમાં યાત્રા કરે છે—વૈશ્વાનર, સર્વવિજયી; જેને હું યુદ્ધોમાં સદાસહાય, વિજયી તરીકે આહ્વાન કરું છું—તે અગ્નિઓને આ હુતિ અર્પિત થાઓ.
