Sukta 13
इन्द्र॑ एषां ने॒ता बृह॒स्पति॒र्दक्षि॑णा य॒ज्ञः पु॒र ए॑तु॒ सोमः॑ । दे॒व॒से॒नाना॑मभिभञ्जती॒नां जय॑न्तीनां म॒रुतो॑ यन्तु॒ मध्ये॑
índra eṣā́ṃ netā́ bṛ́haspátir dákṣiṇā yajñáḥ púra etu sómaḥ | devasenā́nām abhibhañjatī́nāṃ jáyantīnām marúto yantu mádhye
Indra be leader of these; Bṛhaspati (be) the right-hand power; let Sacrifice go in front, let Soma go before: in the midst let the Maruts march—of the god-hosts that break the foe and win.
Hendaklah Indra menjadi pemimpin mereka; Bṛhaspati menjadi kekuatan di sebelah kanan; biarlah Yajña (korban) berjalan di hadapan, biarlah Soma mendahului. Di tengah-tengah, biarlah para Marut berarak—daripada bala para dewa yang memecahkan musuh dan memperoleh kemenangan.
