अ॒यमि॑न्द्र वृ॒षाक॑पिः॒ पर॑स्वन्तं ह॒तं वि॑दत्। अ॒सिं सू॒नां नवं॑ च॒रुमादेध॒स्यान॒ आचि॑तं॒ विश्व॑स्मा॒दिन्द्र॒ उत्त॑रः

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.126.18

ayám índra vṛṣā́kapíḥ párasvantaṃ hatáṃ vidat | asíṃ sūnā́ṃ návaṃ cárum ādedhásyā́na ā́citam víśvasmā́d índra úttaraḥ

This Vṛṣākapi, O Indra, found the Parasvant, smitten down. A new sword of the sons, and the caru, and Ādedha’s wagon heaped with store—Indra is higher than all.

यह वृषाकपि, इंद्र, उस परस्वंत को गिरा हुआ पा गया। नए बेटे की तलवार है, और चरु नाम की पूजा की थाली है। आदेध की गाड़ी भी खाने से भरी है। इंद्र सबसे बड़ा है।
