Mantra 6
Sukta 43
यत्र ब्रह्मविदो यान्ति दीक्षया तपसा सह। इन्द्रो मा तत्र नयतु बलमिन्द्रो दधातु मे । इन्द्राय स्वाहा
yátra brahmavído yā́nti dīkṣáyā tápasā sahá | índro mā́ tátra nayatu bálam índro dadhātu me | índrāya svā́hā ||
Whither the knowers of Brahman go, with consecration and with ardent austerity,—thither let Indra lead me; let Indra bestow upon me strength. To Indra, svāhā.
जहाँ ब्रह्म-विद्या के ज्ञाता दीक्षा और तप के साथ जाते हैं—वहीं इन्द्र मुझे ले जाएँ; इन्द्र मुझे बल प्रदान करें। इन्द्राय स्वाहा।
