Atharva Veda 20.56.5: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 56, Mantra 5
Sukta 56
मा॒दय॑स्व सु॒ते सचा॒ शव॑से शूर॒ राध॑से । वि॒द्मा हि त्वा॑ पुरू॒वसु॒मुप॒ कामा॑न्त्ससृ॒ज्महेऽथा॑ नोऽवि॒ता भ॑व
mā́dayasva suté sacā́ śávase śūra rā́dhase | vidmá hí tvā purūvásum úpa kā́mān sasṛjmáhe ’thā́ no ’vitā́ bhava
Be thou exhilarated with the pressed Soma, in fellowship, for strength, O Hero, for bounty. For we know thee as rich in many treasures: toward thee we set our desires in motion; then be thou our helper and protector.
इंद्र, सोम पी और खुश हो जा। तुम स्ट्रांग हो, तुम देना जानते हो। हम जानते हैं तुम्हारे पास बहुत खज़ाना है। हम तुमसे अपनी इच्छा माँग रहे हैं। अब तुम हमारा हेल्पर बनो।
