Mantra 3
Sukta 72
उतो नो अस्या उषसो जुषेत ह्य१र्कस्य बोधि हविषो हवीमभिः स्वर्षाता हवीमभिः । यदिन्द्र हन्तवे मृघो वृषा वज्रिं चिकेतसि । आ मे अस्य वेधसो नवीयसो मन्म श्रुधि नवीयसः

And for us may he, of this Dawn, take pleasure; yea, awake to the hymn, to the oblation, with our invocations—thou winner of the bright world—with our invocations. When, O Indra, to smite the wild foe, Bull, bolt-bearer, thou art minded, then hear my newer formulation, this of the inspired ordainer—hear the newer.
