Sukta 45
इन्द्रो॑ मेन्द्रि॒येणा॑वतु प्रा॒णाया॑पा॒नायायु॑षे॒ वर्च॑स॒ ओज॑से॒ तेज॑से स्व॒स्तये॑ सुभू॒तये॒ स्वाहा॑
índro mendriyéṇāvatu prāṇā́yāpānā́yā́yuṣe várcasa ójase téjase svastáye subhūtáye svā́hā ||
May Indra, with Indra’s own sovereign force, protect me—for breath and downward-breath, for life, for lustre, for strength, for energy, for welfare, for prosperous being: Svāhā!
इंद्र अपनी ताकत से मुझे रक्षा करे। मेरा साँस चले, उम्र लंबी हो, चमक हो, ताकत हो, तेज़ हो। सब ठीक रहे, खुशाली हो। स्वाहा।
