Sukta 4.17
एवा न इन्द्रो मघवा विरप्शी करत्सत्या चर्षणीधृदनर्वा । त्वं राजा जनुषां धेह्यस्मे अधि श्रवो माहिनं यज्जरित्रे ॥

So may Indra the bountiful make for us the wide effective action—true, upholding the peoples, unerring. Thou art king of births; place in us a fame and greatness that stands above, for the singer.
