RV 2.16.1

प्र वः सतां ज्येष्ठतमाय सुष्टुतिम् अग्नाव् इव समिधाने हविर् भरे । इन्द्रम् अजुर्यं जरयन्तम् उक्षितं सनाद् युवानम् अवसे हवामहे ॥

pra vaḥ satāṃ jyeṣṭhatamāya suṣṭutim agnāv iva samidhāne havir bhare | indram ajuryaṃ jarayantam ukṣitaṃ sanād yuvānam avase havāmahe ||

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

To him, your own, the best among the good, I bring eulogy, like oblation in the kindled fire. We invocate for help Indra untouched by eld, who maketh all decay, strengthened, for ever young.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
