RV 7.20.1

उग्रो जज्ञे वीर्याय स्वधावाञ् चक्रिर् अपो नर्यो यत् करिष्यन् । जग्मिर् युवा नृषदनम् अवोभिस् त्राता न इन्द्र एनसो महश् चित् ॥

ugro jajñe vīryāya svadhāvāñ cakrir apo naryo yat kariṣyan | jagmir yuvā nṛṣadanam avobhis trātā na indra enaso mahaś cit ||

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

Strong, Godly-natured, born for hero exploit, man's Friend, he doth whatever deed he willeth. Saving us e'en from great transgression, Indra, the Youthful, visiteth man's home with favour.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
