Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 4
Aindra victory and welfare: invoking Indra (and allied swift power) to overcome obstacles and secure auspicious success
सत्राहणं दाधृषिं तुम्रमिन्द्रं महामपारं वृशभं सुवज्रम् हन्ता यो वृत्रं सनितोत वाजं दाता मघानि मघवा सुराधाः
satrāhaṇaṃ dādhṛṣiṃ tumramindraṃ mahāmapāraṃ vṛśabhaṃ suvajram hantā yo vṛtraṃ sanitota vājaṃ dātā maghāni maghavā surādhāḥ
satrāhaṇaṃ dādhṛṣiṃ tumram indraṃ mahām apāraṃ vṛṣabhaṃ suvajram hantā yo vṛtraṃ sanītota vājaṃ dātā maghāni maghavā surādhāḥ (1/2/3)
因陀罗，恒常击破者，果敢者，猛烈者；伟大无涯、无边无际之雄牛，善执金刚者。彼为诛灭弗栗陀罗（Vṛtra）之杀者，亦为赢得战利（vāja）之得胜者；施惠的摩伽梵（Maghavā），赐予诸礼物者，具最上施赐者。
