Sukta 39
अच्छा॑ न॒ इन्द्रं॑ य॒शसं॒ यशो॑भिर्यश॒स्विनं॑ नमसा॒ना वि॑धेम । स नो॑ रास्व रा॒ष्ट्रमिन्द्र॑जूतं॒ तस्य॑ ते रा॒तौ य॒शसः॑ स्याम
ácchā na índraṃ yaśásaṃ yáśobhir yaśasvínaṃ namasānā́ vidhéma | sá no rāsva rāṣṭrám índrajūtaṃ tásya te rātáu yaśásaḥ syāma ||
Hither to Indra, glorious, with our glories, to the fame-bestower, bowing we would do service. Do thou bestow on us a realm, Indra-impelled; in that thy giving may we be men of glory.
Mari menuju Indra yang mulia; dengan kemuliaan-kemuliaan kami, kepada pemberi kemasyhuran, sambil menunduk kami berbakti. Anugerahkanlah kepada kami suatu kerajaan yang digerakkan oleh Indra; dalam pemberian-Mu itu semoga kami menjadi orang-orang yang mulia.
