Sukta 55
तमिन्द्रं जोहवीमि मघवानमुग्रं सत्रा दधानमप्रतिष्कुतं शवांसि । मंहिष्ठो गीर्भिरा च यज्ञियो ववर्तद् राये नो विश्वा सुपथा कृणोतु वज्री

Him, Indra, I call again and yet again—the bounteous, the fierce—who ever bears resistless powers. Most liberal, with hymns he turns him hither, worthy of worship: for our wealth let the Thunderer make all ways good to go.
