Rig Veda 10.86.6: Mandala 10, Sukta 86, Mantra 6

Sukta 10.86

Rishi: Indrāṇī
Devata: Indra (and Indrāṇī as speaking power)
Chandas: Tr̥ṣṭubh (approx.)

न मत्स्त्री सुभसत्तरा न सुयाशुतरा भुवत् । न मत्प्रतिच्यवीयसी न सक्थ्युद्यमीयसी विश्वस्मादिन्द्र उत्तरः ॥

ná mat strī́ subhasátttarā ná suyā́śutarā bhuvat | ná mat práticyavīyasī ná sákthy udyámīyasī víśvasmād índra úttaraḥ ||

No woman is more richly seated in well-being than I, none more swift to attain the good. None can outmatch me, none can lift the thigh against me in contest; for Indra is higher than all—and his power upholds my victorious poise.
