Sukta 11

इन्द्रो॑ जा॒तो म॑नु॒ष्येऽष्व॒न्तर्घ॒र्मस्त॒प्तश्च॑रति॒ शोशु॑चानः । सु॒प्र॒जाः सन्त्स उ॑दा॒रे न स॑र्ष॒द्यो नाश्नी॒यादन॒डुहो॑ विजा॒नन्

índro jātó manuṣyè’śv-ántar gharmás taptáś carati śóśucānaḥ | suprajā́ḥ sán sá udarè ná sarṣad yó ná’śnīyād anaḍúhaḥ vijā́nann

Indra, born among men, as heated Gharma moveth within the horse, blazing. Being rich in offspring, he in the belly shall not slip away—if one, with understanding, eat not of the draught-ox.

インドラは人の間に生まれ、熱せられたガルマ(Gharma)のように、馬の内に巡り、燃え輝いて進む。子孫に富むその者は腹の中で滑り落ちない――もし理解ある者が牽き牛の肉を食さないなら。
