वि यो ररप्श ऋषिभिर्नवेभिर्वृक्षो न पक्वः सृण्यो न जेता । मर्यो न योषामभि मन्यमानोऽच्छा विवक्मि पुरुहूतमिन्द्रम् ॥

Translation

Тот, кто разросся в мощи с новыми риши, как дерево, созревшее до полноты, как метательный снаряд, что побеждает; как юноша, пылающий к деве, — так, в жажде, я прямо призываю Индру, многопризываемого.
