ga̱vyanta̱ indra̍ṁ sa̱khyāya̱ viprā̍ aśvā̱yanto̱ vṛṣa̍ṇaṁ vā̱jaya̍ntaḥ |
ja̱nī̱yanto̍ jani̱dām akṣi̍toti̱m ā cyā̍vayāmo 'va̱te na kośa̍m ||
Eager for booty, craving strength and horses, we-singers stir Indra, the strong, for friendship, Who gives the wives we seek, whose succour fails not, to hasten, like a pitcher to the fountain.
