Sukta 71
सं चो॑दय चि॒त्रम॒र्वाग् राध॑ इन्द्र॒ वरे॑ण्यम्। अस॒दित् ते॑ वि॒भु प्र॒भु
sáṃ codaya citrám arvā́g rā́dha índra váreṇyam | ásad ít te vibhú prabhú
Urge hither, O Indra, thy splendid bounty, choice and to be chosen; yea, let it verily come to pass—thou, the all-ruling, the effectual lord.
हे इंद्र, तुम्हारी चमक-दार बरकत यहाँ लाओ। वो जो सब में सबसे बेहतर है। तू ही सब का मालिक है, तू ही काम कर सकता है।
Rishi: Traditionally Ṛgvedic; in AV 20 the seer-attribution follows the borrowed RV hymn tradition (Indra-stuti).
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence as in RV-style praise (exact metrical parsing depends on pada recension).
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
