Sukta 9.111

Devata: Soma Pavamāna with Indra (and Vajra) in the victory motif
Chandas: Jagati/Trishtubh mixture (likely; long verse—needs confirm)

पूर्वामनु प्रदिशं याति चेकितत्सं रश्मिभिर्यतते दर्शतो रथो दैव्यो दर्शतो रथः । अग्मन्नुक्थानि पौंस्येन्द्रं जैत्राय हर्षयन् । वज्रश्च यद्भवथो अनपच्युता समत्स्वनपच्युता ॥

pū́rvām ánu prádiśaṃ yāti cékitat sáṃ raśmíbhiḥ yatate darśató rátho daivyó darśató ráthaḥ | ágmann ukthā́ni paúṃsyéndraṃ jaitrā́ya harṣayan | vájraś ca yád bhávatho ánapa-cyutā samátsv ánapa-cyutā ||

He moves along the forward direction, clearly discerning; with his rays he is drawn together—his visible chariot, the divine visible chariot. The manly hymns came to Indra, gladdening him for victory; and the thunderbolt too—when you become unwavering in the battles, unwavering.
