Sukta 21

यैरिन्द्रः॑ प्र॒क्रीड॑ते पद्घो॒षैश्छा॒यया॑ स॒ह। तैर॒मित्रा॑स्त्रसन्तु नो॒ऽमी ये यन्त्य॑नीक॒शः

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.21.8

yáir índraḥ prakrī́ḍate padghṓṣaiś chāyáyā sahá | táir amítrās trasantu no ’mī́ yé yánty anīkáśaḥ

By those wherewith Indra sports—by the din of marching feet, together with his shadow—by those same let the foes tremble for us, those yonder who advance in ordered ranks.

જેનાથી ઇન્દ્ર રમે છે—પગલાંના ગર્જનાસમાન ઘોષથી, અને તેની છાયા સાથે—એ જ બળથી અમારા માટે શત્રુઓ કંપે; એ દૂરનાં, જે દળબંધ રીતે આગળ વધે છે.
