Sukta 19
उद्ध॑र्षन्तां मघव॒न् वाजि॑ना॒न्युद् वी॒राणां॒ जय॑तामेतु॒ घोषः॑ । पृथ॒ग् घोषा॑ उलु॒लयः॑ केतु॒मन्त॒ उदी॑रताम्। दे॒वा इन्द्र॑ज्येष्ठा म॒रुतो॑ यन्तु॒ सेन॑या
úd-dharṣantāṁ maghavan vā́jināny úd vīrā́ṇāṁ jáyatām etu ghóṣaḥ | pṛthág ghóṣā ululáyaḥ ketúmanta úd-ī́ratām | devā́ índra-jyeṣṭhā marúto yantu sénayā ||
Be roused, O Maghavan, the winning powers; let forth the shout of conquering heroes go. Let separate cries, the ululations bannered, be lifted up; let the Gods, Indra-chief, the Maruts, march along with the host.
جاگ اٹھو، اے مگھوان، جیتنی طاقتیں؛ فتح مند ہیروؤں کا نعرہ نکلے۔ الگ الگ چیخیں، جھنڈے دار ululations، اٹھائیں جائیں؛ دیوتا، اندر سردار، مروت، لشکر کے ساتھ چلیں۔
