Sukta 27
तस्य॒ प्राशं॒ त्वं ज॑हि॒ यो न॑ इन्द्राभि॒दास॑ति । अधि॑ नो ब्रूहि॒ शक्ति॑भिः प्रा॒शि मामुत्त॑रं कृधि
tásya práśaṃ tváṃ jáhi yó na índrābhidā́sati | ádhi no brūhi śáktibhiḥ prāśí mām úttaraṃ kr̥dhi
Smite thou that man’s biting onset—who, O Indra, assaileth us with malice. Moreover, speak unto us with thy powers: devour (the harm), and make me the upper, the prevailing one.
Fere o ímpeto mordente daquele homem que, ó Indra, nos investe com malícia. E ainda: fala-nos com teus poderes — devora (o mal) e faz de mim o superior, o que prevalece.
