Mantra 9
Aindra praise: Indra’s sovereignty, ascent, and soma-empowered heroic force for the sacrificer’s welfare
आ घा ये अग्निमिन्धते स्तृणन्ति बर्हिरानुषक् येषामिन्द्रो युवा सखा
ā ghā ye agnimindhate stṛṇanti barhirānuṣak yeṣāmindro yuvā sakhā

ఎవరు నిజంగా అగ్నిని ప్రజ్వలింపజేస్తారో, ఎవరు క్రమంగా బర్హి (యజ్ఞ తృణం) పరచుతారో—వారికి ఇంద్రుడు యువ సఖుడు.
