प्र सम्राजं चर्षणीनामिन्द्रं स्तोता नव्यं गीर्भिः । नरं नृषाहं मंहिष्ठम्
prá samrā́jaṃ carṣaṇīnā́m índraṃ stótā návyaṃ gīrbhíḥ | náraṃ nṛṣā́haṃ máṃhiṣṭham
Forth let the singer with fresh hymns set Indra in praise—the Sovran of the peoples; the Hero, man-subduing, most bountiful.
Rishi: Ṛgvedic provenance (borrowed into AV 20); traditional attribution varies by RV source-hymn; treated here as Indra-stuti of the Ṛṣi tradition.
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence (as in many RV Indra-stutis; AV 20 preserves RV meters)
