Rig Veda 8.21.12: Mandala 8, Sukta 21, Mantra 12
Sukta 8.21
जयेम कारे पुरुहूत कारिणोऽभि तिष्ठेम दूढ्यः । नृभिर्वृत्रं हन्याम शूशुयाम चावेरिन्द्र प्र णो धियः ॥
jáyema kāré puruhūta kāríṇo’bhí tíṣṭhema dūḍhyàḥ | nṛ́bhir vṛtráṃ hányāma śūśuyā́ma cā́ver índra prá no dhíyaḥ ||
May we conquer in the making, O much-invoked, those who would make against us; may we stand over the hard-pressed difficulties. With the man-powers may we slay the Vṛtra within; may we burn with the will to do it. O Indra, bring forward our inspired thoughts.
