Mantra 8
Sukta 63
येना दशग्वमध्रिगुं वेपयन्तं स्वर्णरम्। येना समुद्रमाविथा तमीमहे
yénā́ daśagvám adhríguṁ vepáyantaṁ svaṇarám | yénā samudrám āvítha tám īmahe ||
By that same might wherewith thou madest Daśagva shake Adhrigu, and Svaṇara quake; by that wherewith thou didst succour through the sea—Thee do we invoke.
जिस सामर्थ्य से तूने दशग्व को अध्रिगु को कंपाने वाला बनाया और स्वर्णर को थरथराया; और जिस सामर्थ्य से तूने समुद्र के पार सहायता की—उसी तुझे हम आह्वान करते हैं।

Devata: Indra
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; requires metrical confirmation against the RV original)
