Sukta 13
इन्द्र एषां नेता बृहस्पतिर्दक्षिणा यज्ञः पुर एतु सोमः । देवसेनानामभिभञ्जतीनां जयन्तीनां मरुतो यन्तु मध्ये
índra eṣā́ṃ netā́ bṛ́haspátir dákṣiṇā yajñáḥ púra etu sómaḥ | devasenā́nām abhibhañjatī́nāṃ jáyantīnām marúto yantu mádhye
Indra be leader of these; Bṛhaspati (be) the right-hand power; let Sacrifice go in front, let Soma go before: in the midst let the Maruts march—of the god-hosts that break the foe and win.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (not explicit here)
Devata: Indra, Bṛhaspati, Soma, Maruts (collective martial pantheon)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (late AV; mixed)
