प्रो ष्वस्मै पुरोरथमिन्द्राय शूषमर्चत । अभीके चिदु लोककृत्सङ्गे समत्सु वृत्रह । अस्माकं बोधि चोदिता नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु ॥ १८०१

pro ṣvasmai purorathamindrāya śūṣamarcata . abhīke cidu lokakṛtsaṅge samatsu vṛtraha . asmākaṃ bodhi coditā nabhantāmanyakeṣāṃ jyākā adhi dhanvasu .. 1801

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

Sing strength to Indra that shall set his chariot in the foremost place. Giver of room in closest fight, slayer of foes in shock of war, be thou our great encourager. Let the weak bowstrings break upon the bows of feeble enemies.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.133.1; the wording of this text may differ in places.
