Sukta 62
यो न॑ इ॒दमि॑दं पु॒रा प्र वस्य॑ आनि॒नाय॒ तमु॑ व स्तुषे । सखा॑य॒ इन्द्र॑मू॒तये॑
yó na idám-idáṃ purā prá vásya āninā́ya tám u vaḥ stúṣe | sákhāya índram ūtáye ||
He who of old brought hither unto us this boon and that, the better gift,—him verily I laud for you, O comrades: Indra for our succour.
वो जो पहले हमें अच्छे-अच्छे तोहफे लाया था, मैं उस इन्द्र की तारीफ करता हूँ। दोस्तो, वही इन्द्र हमारे काम आता है जब हमें मदद चाहिए।
