Sama Veda — Uttarārcika, Mantra 2
Aindra praise of yajña-powered Indra: cosmic ordering, victory over Vṛtra, and safe passage through adversity
मघोनः स्म वृत्रहत्येषु चोदय ये ददति प्रिया वसु तव प्रणीती हर्यश्व सूरिभिर्विश्वा तरेम दुरिता
maghonaḥ sma vṛtrahatyeṣu codaya ye dadati priyā vasu tava praṇītī haryaśva sūribhirviśvā tarema duritā
ma1ghonaḥ sma2 vṛ1traha2tyeṣu co1daya ye1 da1dati pri1yā va1su ta1va pra2ṇī1tī ha1ryaśva sū1ribhir vi1śvā ta1rema du1ritā
摩伽梵啊，在诛灭弗利陀罗（Vṛtra）的争战中，确当激励我们；并垂顾那些奉献可悦之财（vasu）者。凭汝引导，哈利亚什瓦（Haryaśva，黄鬃马者）啊，愿我们与慷慨的施主（sūri）一道，越过一切灾厄。
