RV 3.53.18

बलं धेहि तनूषु नो बलम् इन्द्रानळुत्सु नः । बलं तोकाय तनयाय जीवसे त्वं हि बलदा असि ॥

balaṃ dhehi tanūṣu no balam indrānaḷutsu naḥ | balaṃ tokāya tanayāya jīvase tvaṃ hi baladā asi ||

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

O Indra, give our bodies strength, strength to the bulls who draw the wains, Strength to our seed and progeny that they may live, for thou art he who giveth strength.
