Atharva Veda 20.74.5: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 8, Sukta 74, Mantra 5
Sukta 74
समि॑न्द्र गर्द॒भं मृ॑ण नु॒वन्तं॑ पा॒पया॑मु॒या। आ तू न॑ इन्द्र शंसय॒ गोष्वश्वे॑षु शु॒भ्रिषु॑ स॒हस्रे॑षु तुवीमघ
sám índra gardabháṃ mṛṇa núvantaṃ pāpayā́ amuyā́ | ā́ tú naḥ índra śaṃsaya góṣv áśveṣu śubhrī́ṣu sahásreṣu tuvī́magha
Smite utterly, O Indra, that ass—braying forth—by that evil (of his). Hither then, O Indra, make us of good report amid cows and horses, amid splendid possessions, amid thousands, O bounteous one.
हे इंद्र, उस गधे को मार डाल जो चिल्लाता है। उसकी बुरी हरकत को खत्म कर दे। इंद्र, हमारा नाम अच्छा कर दे। गाय और घोड़े के बीच, माल के बीच, हज़ारों चीज़ों के बीच हमारा काम कर। तू ही बड़ा दाता है।
