Sukta 125
इन्द्र॒स्यौजो॑ म॒रुता॒मनी॑कं मि॒त्रस्य॒ गर्भो॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ नाभिः॑ । स इ॒मां नो॑ ह॒व्यदा॑तिं जुषा॒णो देव॑ रथ॒ प्रति॑ ह॒व्या गृभाय
índrasya ójaḥ marútām ánīkaṃ mitrásya gárbho váruṇasya nā́bhiḥ | sá imā́ṃ no havya-dā́tiṃ juṣāṇó deva rátha práti havyā́ gṛbhāya
Indra’s vigor, the Maruts’ battle-front; Mitra’s very womb, Varuṇa’s navel-hub—accepting for us this gift of oblation, O god, O Chariot, lay hold of the offerings in return.
इन्द्रस्यौजो मरुतामनीकं मित्रस्य गर्भो वरुणस्य नाभिः । स इमां नो हव्यदातिं जुषाणो देव रथ प्रति हव्या गृभाय ॥
