Sukta 126
आ क्र॑न्दय॒ बल॒मोजो॑ न॒ आ धा॑ अ॒भि ष्ट॑न दुरि॒ता बाध॑मानः । अप॑ सेध दुन्दुभे दु॒च्छुना॑मि॒त इन्द्र॑स्य मु॒ष्टिर॑सि वी॒डय॑स्व
ā́ krandaya bálam ójo na ā́ dhā ábhi stan duritā́ bā́dhamānaḥ | ápa sedha dundubhe ducchúnām ít índrasya múṣṭir asi vī́ḍayasva
Roar forth; set for us strength and vigor; thunder against the evils, driving them away. O Drum, repel ill-hap: thou verily art Indra’s fist—show thy might.
گرج; ہمارے لیے طاقت اور زور باندھ; برائیوں پر گرج، انہیں بھگا کر۔ اے ڈھول، بدقسمتی کو دور کر: تو سچ مچ اندر کی مٹھی ہے - اپنی طاقت دکھا۔
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (anukramaṇī-dependent).
