Sukta 39
अच्छा॑ न॒ इन्द्रं॑ य॒शसं॒ यशो॑भिर्यश॒स्विनं॑ नमसा॒ना वि॑धेम । स नो॑ रास्व रा॒ष्ट्रमिन्द्र॑जूतं॒ तस्य॑ ते रा॒तौ य॒शसः॑ स्याम
ácchā na índraṃ yaśásaṃ yáśobhir yaśasvínaṃ namasānā́ vidhéma | sá no rāsva rāṣṭrám índrajūtaṃ tásya te rātáu yaśásaḥ syāma ||
Hither to Indra, glorious, with our glories, to the fame-bestower, bowing we would do service. Do thou bestow on us a realm, Indra-impelled; in that thy giving may we be men of glory.
さあ、栄光あるインドラ(Indra)へ。われらの栄光をもって、名声を授ける栄光の主に、伏して奉仕をなさん。われらに王国を授けたまえ、インドラに駆り立てられしものを。汝のその施与において、われら栄光ある者となりますように。
