Sanskrit (Devanagari)
तवं तमिन्द्र वाव्र्धानो अस्मयुरमित्रयन्तं तुविजात मर्त्यं वज्रेण शूर मर्त्यम | जहि यो नो अघायति शर्णुष्व सुश्रवस्तमः | रिष्टं न यामन्नप भूतु दुर्मतिर्विश्वाप भूतु दुर्मतिः
IAST Romanisation
tvaṃ tamindra vāvṛdhāno asmayuramitrayantaṃ tuvijāta martyaṃ vajreṇa śūra martyam | jahi yo no aghāyati śṛṇuṣva suśravastamaḥ | riṣṭaṃ na yāmannapa bhūtu durmatirviśvāpa bhūtu durmatiḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
O Indra, waxen strong and well-inclined to us, thou very mighty, slay the man that is our foe, slay the man, Hero! with thy bolt. Slay thou the man who injures us: hear thou, as readiest, to hear. Far be malignity, like mischief on the march, afar be all malignity.
