Sukta 2.30
अव क्षिप दिवो अश्मानमुच्चा येन शत्रुं मन्दसानो निजूर्वाः । तोकस्य सातौ तनयस्य भूरेरस्माँ अर्धं कृणुतादिन्द्र गोनाम् ॥
áva kṣipa divó áśmānam uccā́ yénā śátruṃ mandasā́nó ní-jūrvāḥ | tókasyā sātáu tánayasya bhū́rer asmā́n árdhaṃ kṛṇutād indra gónām ||
Cast down from heaven the high stone by which, exulting, you crush the enemy. For the winning of the child and the abundant offspring, make us a rightful share in the rays of Light, O Indra.
