Sukta 24
इन्द्रो दिवोऽधिपतिः स मावतु । अस्मिन् ब्रह्मण्यस्मिन् कर्मण्यस्यां पुरोधायामस्यां प्रतिष्ठायामस्यां चित्त्यामस्यामाकूत्यामस्यामाशिष्यस्यां देवहूत्यां स्वाहा
índro divó 'dʰipatiḥ sá mā́vatu | asmín bráhmaṇy asmín kármaṇy asyā́m puródʰāyām asyā́m pratíṣṭʰāyām asyā́m cíttyām asyā́m ākū́tyām asyā́m āśíṣi asyā́m deváhūtyāṁ svā́hā
Indra, the Lord of Heaven, let him protect me: in this holy spell, in this rite; in this fore-placing, in this firm establishment; in this intent, in this purposed will; in this blessing, in this calling of the Gods—Svāhā!
ਇੰਦਰ, ਦਿਵ੍ਯ ਲੋਕ (ਸੁਰਗ) ਦਾ ਅਧਿਪਤੀ, ਉਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕਰੇ। ਇਸ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਣ ਵਿੱਚ, ਇਸ ਕਰਮ ਵਿੱਚ; ਇਸ ਪੁਰੋਧਾ ਵਿੱਚ, ਇਸ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਸ਼ਠਾ ਵਿੱਚ; ਇਸ ਚਿੱਤਿ ਵਿੱਚ, ਇਸ ਆਕੂਤੀ ਵਿੱਚ; ਇਸ ਆਸ਼ੀਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ, ਇਸ ਦੇਵਹੂਤੀ ਵਿੱਚ—ਸ੍ਵਾਹਾ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in the extract).
Devata: Indra (divó 'dhipati).
