Sukta 14
भू॒त॒प॒तिर्निर॑ज॒त्विन्द्र॑श्चे॒तः स॒दान्वाः॑ । गृ॒हस्य॑ बु॒ध्न आसी॑ना॒स्ता इन्द्रो॒ वज्रे॒णाधि॑ तिष्ठतु
bhūtapátir nír ajatu índraś ca cetáḥ sadánvā́ḥ | gṛhásya budhná āsī́nās tā́ índro vájreṇā́dhi tiṣṭhatu ||
Let the Lord of beings drive them forth; and Indra—constant in intent—(drive them forth). Those that sit upon the house’s base, over those let Indra stand, with thunderbolt above them.
生類の主よ、彼らを追い払え。インドラよ—志を常に保つ者よ—彼らを追い払え。家の基(ふもと)に坐す者ども、その上にインドラが金剛杵をもって立ち、押さえつけよ。
