Atharva Veda 20.68.8: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 7, Sukta 68, Mantra 8
Sukta 68
अ॒स्य पी॒त्वा श॑तक्रतो घ॒नो वृ॒त्राणा॑मभवः । प्रावो॒ वाजे॑षु वा॒जिन॑म्
asyá pītvā́ śatakrato ghanó vṛtrā́ṇām abhavaḥ | prā́vo vā́jeṣu vājínam
Having drunk of this, O Śatakratu, thou becamest the smiter of the Vṛtras; thou didst forwardly aid the prize-winner in the contests.
हे शतक्रतु इंद्र, तुमने यह सोम रस पिया। फिर तुमने वृत्र जैसे दुश्मनों को मारा। तुमने लड़ाई में जीतने वाले को मदद दी और उसे आगे बढ़ाया।
