Sukta 7.21

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (likely)

न यातव इन्द्र जूजुवुर्नो न वन्दना शविष्ठ वेद्याभिः । स शर्धदर्यो विषुणस्य जन्तोर्मा शिश्नदेवा अपि गुॠतं नः ॥

ná yātáva indra jūjuvur no ná vándanā śaviṣṭha vedyā́bhiḥ | sá śardhad aryó víṣuṇasya jántor mā́ śiśnádevā́ ápi guḥ ṛtáṃ naḥ ||

હે ઇન્દ્ર, કોઈ યાતવ (ભટકતા/આક્રમક) અમને જીતે નહિ; હે અતિશય બળવાન, વેદ્યાભિઃ (વિધિ-જ્ઞાનભરી સ્તુતિઓ) સાથેની ખાલી વંદના પણ અમને દબાવે નહિ. વાંકાં સ્વભાવવાળા જંતુના આઘાતને આર્ય (ઉદાર) દબાવી દે; શિશ્નદેવા (મિથ્યા-પૂજક) અમારા ઋતને ઘી જેમ ઢાંકી ન નાખે.
