AVŚ 20.11.4

इन्द्रः स्वर्षा जनयन्न् अहानि जिगायोशिग्भिः पृतना अभिष्टिः । प्रारोचयन् मनवे केतुम् अह्नाम् अविन्दज् ज्योतिर् बृहते रणाय ॥४॥

indraḥ svarṣā janayann ahāni jigāyośigbhiḥ pṛtanā abhiṣṭiḥ | prārocayan manave ketum ahnām avindaj jyotir bṛhate raṇāya ||4||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Indra, light-winner, days' Creator, conquered, victorious, hostile bands with those who loved him. For man the days' bright ensign he illumined, and found the light for his joy and gladness.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 3.34.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
