Mantra 5
Aindra praise: Indra as unstoppable helper, victor, and giver of wealth/protection to the sacrificer
शचीभिर्नः शचीवसू दिवानक्तं दिशस्यतम् मा वां रातिरुप दसत्कदा च नास्मद्रातिः कदा च न
śacībhirnaḥ śacīvasū divānaktaṃ diśasyatam mā vāṃ rātirupa dasatkadā ca nāsmadrātiḥ kadā ca na
śacībhir naḥ śacīvasū divānaktaṃ diśasyatam mā vāṃ rātir upa dasat kadā ca nāsmadrātiḥ kadā ca na
Hỡi các đấng hùng lực và phú túc nhờ Śacī, xin đoái thương chúng con cả ngày lẫn đêm; xin cho ân huệ của các ngài không bao giờ thiếu hụt, và phần chúng con nhận được cũng đừng khi nào vơi mất.
