Atharva Veda 6.125.3: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 13, Sukta 125, Mantra 3
Sukta 125
इन्द्र॒स्यौजो॑ म॒रुता॒मनी॑कं मि॒त्रस्य॒ गर्भो॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ नाभिः॑ । स इ॒मां नो॑ ह॒व्यदा॑तिं जुषा॒णो देव॑ रथ॒ प्रति॑ ह॒व्या गृभाय
índrasya ójaḥ marútām ánīkaṃ mitrásya gárbho váruṇasya nā́bhiḥ | sá imā́ṃ no havya-dā́tiṃ juṣāṇó deva rátha práti havyā́ gṛbhāya
Indra’s vigor, the Maruts’ battle-front; Mitra’s very womb, Varuṇa’s navel-hub—accepting for us this gift of oblation, O god, O Chariot, lay hold of the offerings in return.
यह इंद्र का बल है, मरुत की सेना है। मित्र का गर्भ है, वरुण का नाभि है। हे देवी रथ, हमारी तरफ़ से जो चढ़ावा है उसे अपना ले। और उसके बदले हमारे लिए भी कुछ अच्छा कर।
