Sukta 14
भू॒त॒प॒तिर्निर॑ज॒त्विन्द्र॑श्चे॒तः स॒दान्वाः॑ । गृ॒हस्य॑ बु॒ध्न आसी॑ना॒स्ता इन्द्रो॒ वज्रे॒णाधि॑ तिष्ठतु
bhūtapátir nír ajatu índraś ca cetáḥ sadánvā́ḥ | gṛhásya budhná āsī́nās tā́ índro vájreṇā́dhi tiṣṭhatu ||
Let the Lord of beings drive them forth; and Indra—constant in intent—(drive them forth). Those that sit upon the house’s base, over those let Indra stand, with thunderbolt above them.
جانداروں کا مالک انہیں نکال دے؛ اور اندر - ارادے میں مستقل - انہیں نکال دے۔ جو گھر کی بنیاد پر بیٹھے ہیں، ان کے اوپر اندر بجلی کے ہتھیار کے ساتھ کھڑا ہو۔

Devata: Indra (as rakṣas-slayer) and Bhūtapati (as overlord/controller of beings)
