Sukta 4.17
स्तुत इन्द्रो मघवा यद्ध वृत्रा भूरीण्येको अप्रतीनि हन्ति । अस्य प्रियो जरिता यस्य शर्मन्नकिर्देवा वारयन्ते न मर्ताः ॥
stutá índro maghávā yád dha vṛtrā́ bhū́rīṇy éko apratī́ni hánti | asyá priyó jaritā́ yásya śármann ákír devā́ vā́rayante ná mártāḥ ||
Indra the bountiful is praised, for he alone slays the many Vṛtras, the resistances that have no equal. Dear to him is the singer who rests in his shelter; none—neither gods nor mortals—can bar that protection.
