Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 20.47.1

tám índraṃ vājayāmasi mahé vṛtrā́ya hántave | sá vṛ́ṣā vṛṣabhó bhúvat

That Indra we quicken unto victory, for the great smiting of Vṛtra: may he become the Bull, the chief Bull.

हम इंद्र को ताकत देते हैं ताकि वो जीत सके। वो वृत्र नाम के बड़े दुश्मन को मारे। इंद्र बैल की तरह ताकतवाला हो, सबसे बड़ा बलवान हो।
