Sukta 42
अं॒हो॒मुचे॒ प्र भ॑रे मनी॒षामा सु॒त्राव्णे॑ सुम॒तिमा॑वृणा॒नः । इ॒दमि॑न्द्र॒ प्रति॑ ह॒व्यं गृ॑भाय स॒त्याः स॑न्तु॒ यज॑मानस्य॒ कामाः॑
aṃhómúce prá bhare manīṣā́m ā́ sutrā́vṇe sumatím āvr̥ṇānáḥ | idám indra práti havyáṃ gr̥bhāya satyā́ḥ santu yajamā́nasya kā́māḥ
To the releaser from anguish I bring forth my thought, choosing for myself good favor from the good protector. This oblation, O Indra, do thou accept in return: true be the sacrificer’s desires.
मैं उस भगवान को अपना मन लेकर आया हूँ जो तकलीफ से आज़ाद करता है। मैं उनकी अच्छी दया माँग रहा हूँ जो अच्छे से बचाते हैं। हे इंद्र, यह हवन सामग्री ले लो। जो यज्ञ कर रहा है उसकी इच्छा पूरी हो।
