Sukta 13
अ॒स्माक॒मिन्द्रः॒ समृ॑तेषु ध्व॒जेष्व॒स्माक॒ या इष॑व॒स्ता ज॑यन्तु । अ॒स्माकं॑ वी॒रा उत्त॑रे भवन्त्व॒स्मान् दे॑वासोऽवता॒ हवे॑षु
asmā́kam índraḥ samṛ́teṣu dhvajéṣv asmā́kaṃ yā́ íṣavas tā́ jayantu | asmā́kaṃ vīrā́ uttáre bhavantu asmā́n devāso avata háveṣu
Our Indra (be) at the standards in the encounters; our arrows—let those conquer. Our heroes—let them be the uppermost; us may the gods protect in our calls.
Que o nosso Indra esteja junto aos estandartes nos confrontos; as nossas flechas — que elas vençam. Os nossos heróis — que fiquem por cima; que os deuses nos protejam em nossas invocações.
