Sukta 153
Sukta 10.153
Traditionally a late Vedic seer (RV 10.153 Indra hymn; exact attribution varies—external confirmation required)
Indra
Gāyatrī or Anuṣṭubh-like short meter (verse is short; exact meter requires pada count verification)
Yeh mantra Indra ji ke liye hai, jo abhi jag ke uth ke aaye hain. Woh log jo kaam karte hain, woh Indra ke paas jaate hain taaki unme bhi bahaduri aaye. Indra ne Vritra ko maara tha aur aakash ko upar utha ke rakha tha. Unhone antariksh ko failaya tha aur duniya ko sthirta di thi. Indra sabse zyada balwan hain, koi bhi unke barabar nahi hai. Hum unse maangte hain ki woh humein shakti dein aur humara kaam banayein.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Vedic praise, a god can be “born” in the ritual—meaning his power becomes freshly manifest through worship, offering, and inner awakening in the devotees.
Indra’s power removes obstruction (Vṛtra), expands the space for life and action, and grants heroic strength (suvīrya) and mastery (ojas) to those who approach him.
It can be recited as a brief prayer for courage, success in work, and protection—especially in a morning fire offering or a simple recitation with a focused intention.
