Sukta 124
इ॒मा नु कं॒ भुव॑ना सीषधा॒मेन्द्र॑श्च॒ विश्वे॑ च दे॒वाः । य॒ज्ञं च॑ नस्त॒न्वं च प्र॒जां चा॑दि॒त्यैरिन्द्रः॑ स॒ह ची॑क्लृपाति
imā́ nú kaṁ bhúvanā sīṣadhā́méndraś ca víśve ca devā́ḥ | yajñáṁ ca nas tanvàṁ ca prajā́ṁ cā́dityair índraḥ sahá cīkḷpāti
Now may we bring these worlds to good success—Indra and all the Gods: our sacrifice, our very body, and our progeny—Indra, together with the Ādityas, sets in due order.
इमानि नु खलु भुवनानि सीषधाम—इन्द्रश्च विश्वे च देवाः। यज्ञं च नस्तन्वं च प्रजां च आदित्यैः सह इन्द्रः सम्यक् चीक्लृपाति।
