Sukta 23
येन॒ ऋष॑यो ब॒लमद्यो॑तयन् यु॒जा येनासु॑राणा॒मयु॑वन्त मा॒याः । येना॒ग्निना॑ प॒णीनिन्द्रो॑ जि॒गाय॒ स नो॑ मुञ्च॒त्वंह॑सः
yéna ṛ́ṣayo bálam adyótayan yujā́ yéna asurā́ṇām áyuvanta māyā́ḥ | yénāgnínā paṇī́n índro jigā́ya sá no muñcatv áṃhasaḥ ||
Wherewith the Seers made strength to shine by yoking; wherewith they kept afar the Asuras’ wizardries; wherewith, with Agni, Indra conquered the Paṇis—may he release us from anguish.
Dengan apa para Ṛṣi membuat kekuatan bersinar dengan memasang kuk; dengan apa mereka menjauhkan sihir-māyā para Asura; dengan apa, bersama Agni, Indra menewaskan Paṇi—semoga ia melepaskan kami daripada aṃhas (kesempitan/derita).
