RV 6.17.8

अध त्वा विश्वे पुर इन्द्र देवा एकं तवसं दधिरे भराय । अदेवो यद् अभ्य् औहिष्ट देवान् स्वर्षाता वृणत इन्द्रम् अत्र ॥

adha tvā viśve pura indra devā ekaṃ tavasaṃ dadhire bharāya | adevo yad abhy auhiṣṭa devān svarṣātā vṛṇata indram atra ||

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

Yea, Indra, all the Deities installed thee their one strong Champion in the van for battle. What time the godless was the Gods' assailant, Indra they chose to win the light of heaven.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
