Sukta 8
इन्द्रा या॑हि मे॒ हव॑मि॒दं क॑रिष्यामि॒ तच्छृ॑णु । इ॒म ऐ॒न्द्रा अ॑तिस॒रा आकू॑तिं॒ सं न॑मन्तु मे । तेभिः॑ शकेम वी॒र्यं१ जात॑वेद॒स्तनू॑वशिन्
índra ā́ yāhi me hávam idáṃ kariṣyāmi tác chṛṇu | imé aindrā́ atisarā́ ākū́tiṃ sáṃ namantu me | tébhiḥ śakema vīryàṃ jātávedaḥ tanūváśin ||
O Indra, come thou to my call: this work will I perform—hear thou that. Let these Indraic over-rushers bow wholly to my intent; with them may we be able for heroic might, O Jātavedas, self-ruled.
इंद्र, मेरे बुलावे पर आ। मैं यह काम करने वाला हूँ, यह सुन। यह इंद्र के शक्तिशाली लोग मेरे इरादे के आगे झुक जाएँ। उनके साथ हम बड़ी ताकत पा सकें, जातवेदस, जो खुद पर राज करता है।
