Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 20.95

त्रिकद्रुकेषु महिषो यवाशिरं तुविशुष्मस् तृपत् सोमम् अपिबद् विष्णुना सुतं यथावशत् । स ईं ममाद महि कर्म कर्तवे महाम् उरुं सैनं सश्चद् देवो देवं सत्यम् इन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः ॥१॥

trikadrukeṣu mahiṣo yavāśiraṃ tuviśuṣmas tṛpat somam apibad viṣṇunā sutaṃ yathāvaśat | sa īṃ mamāda mahi karma kartave mahām uruṃ sainaṃ saścad devo devaṃ satyam indraṃ satya induḥ ||1||

At the Trikadrukas the Great and Strong hath drunk drink blent with meal. With Visnu hath he quaffed the poured out Soma juice, all that he would. That hath so heightened him the Great, the Wide, to do his mighty work. So may the God attain the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

AVŚ 20.95.2

प्रो ष्व् अस्मै पुरोरथम् इन्द्राय शूषम् अर्चत । अभीके चिद् उ लोककृत् संगे समत्सु वृत्रहास्माकं बोधि चोदिता नभन्ताम् अन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु ॥२॥

Sing strength to Indra that shall set his chariot in the foremost place. Giver of room in closest fight, slayer of foes in shock of war, be thou our great encourager. Let the weak bowstrings break upon the bows of feeble enemies.

त्वं सिन्धूंर् अवासृजो ऽधराचो अहन्न् अहिम् । अशत्रुर् इन्द्र जज्ञिषे विश्वं पुष्यसि वार्यं तं त्वा परि ष्वजामहे नभन्ताम् अन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु ॥३॥

Thou didst destroy the Dragon: thou sentest the rivers down to earth. Foeless, O Indra, wast thou born. Thou tendest well each choicest thing. Therefore we draw us close to thee. Let the weak bowstrings break upon the bows of feeble enemies.

AVŚ 20.95.4

वि षु विश्वा अरातयो ऽर्यो नशन्त नो धियः । अस्तासि शत्रवे वधं यो न इन्द्र जिघांसति या ते रातिर् ददिर् वसु । नभन्ताम् अन्यकेषां ज्यका अधि धन्वसु ॥४॥

vi ṣu viśvā arātayo 'ryo naśanta no dhiyaḥ | astāsi śatrave vadhaṃ yo na indra jighāṃsati yā te rātir dadir vasu | nabhantām anyakeṣāṃ jyakā adhi dhanvasu ||4||

Destroyed be all malignities and all our enemy's designs. Thy bolt thou castest, at the foe, O Indra, who would smite us dead: thy liberal bounty gives us wealth.
