RV 8.40.2

नहि वां वव्रयामहे ऽथेन्द्रम् इद् यजामहे शविष्ठं नृणां नरम् । स नः कदा चिद् अर्वता गमद् आ वाजसातये गमद् आ मेधसातये नभन्ताम् अन्यके समे ॥

nahi vāṃ vavrayāmahe 'thendram id yajāmahe śaviṣṭhaṃ nṛṇāṃ naram | sa naḥ kadā cid arvatā gamad ā vājasātaye gamad ā medhasātaye nabhantām anyake same ||

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

We set no snares to tangle you; Indra we worship and adore, Hero of heroes mightiest. Once may he come unto us with his Steed, come unto us to win us strength, and to complete the sacrifice.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
