Rig Veda 7.29.5: Mandala 7, Sukta 29, Mantra 5
Sukta 7.29
Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭha family hymns dominate Maṇḍala 7; this verse continues the Indra praise typical of Vasiṣṭha diction)
Devata: Indra (with an implicit collective of Indra’s protective powers in ‘yūyam’)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (11-syllable cadence typical of Indra hymns in Maṇḍala 7; this verse conforms to the triṣṭubh movement)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
वोचेमेदिन्द्रं मघवानमेनं महो रायो राधसो यद्ददन्नः । यो अर्चतो ब्रह्मकृतिमविष्ठो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

Translation
われらがまことに語り得ますように、インドラを—豊饒の主、この御力を。彼はわれらに与えつつ、大いなる富と満ちあふれる恵みを授ける。讃歌する者を最も速やかに助け、ブラフマン（brahman：効力ある聖なる言葉）を形づくるその方よ—インドラの諸力よ、常に吉祥をもってわれらを守りたまえ。
