Recitation with translationRig Veda 6.20.6

prá śyénō ná madirám aṃśúm asmai śíro dāsásya námucer mathāyán | prā́van namī́ṃ sā́pyaṃ sásantaṃ pṛṇág rāyā́ sám iṣā́ sáṃ svastí ||

इंद्र बाज़ की तरह उड़कर आया। उसने सोमा लाया जो नशा करता है। नमुची दुश्मन का सर फोड़ दिया। नमी को बचाया, उसकी मदद की। उसे खाना दिया, धन दिया, सब कुछ दिया। अब वो खुश और सफीर था।
