Sukta 33
घृ॒तादुल्लु॑प्तो॒ मधु॑मा॒न् पय॑स्वान् भूमिदृं॒होऽच्यु॑तश्च्यावयि॒ष्णुः । नु॒दन्त्स॒पत्ना॒नध॑रांश्च कृ॒ण्वन् दर्भा रो॑ह मह॒तामि॑न्द्रि॒येण॑
ghṛtā́d ullúptaḥ mádhumān páyasvān bhū́mi-dṛṃho ’cyútaś cyāvayiṣṇúḥ | nudán sapatnā́n ádharāṃś ca kṛṇván darbha róha mahatā́ índriyeṇa ||
Anointed with ghee, honeyed, rich in sap; Earth-firmer, unshaken, and dislodging: driving the rivals forth and making them low—O Darbha, grow thou with mighty Indra-power.
इसमें घी और शहद लगा है, पानी भरा है। यह धरती को पक्का रखता है, हिलता नहीं है। दुश्मन को भगाता है, उनको नीचे कर देता है। दर्भ, इंद्र की ताकत से बढ़।
