vii. 85- 

1. We would fain call hither for [our] welfare Tārkshya, this vigorous, god-quickened, powerful overcomer of chariots, ⌊Tārkshya,⌋ having uninjured tires, fight-conquering, swift.

 

1. The savior Indra, the helper Indra, the hero Indra, of easy call at every call—I call now on the mighty (çakrá), much-called Indra; let the bounteous (maghávan) Indra make well-being for us.

 

1. The Rudra that is in the fire (agní), that is within the waters, that entered the herbs, the plants, that shaped (kḷp) all these beings—to that Rudra, to Agni, be homage.

TS., at V. 5. 9$5$, has a nearly corresponding address, but making no pretense to a metrical character: it reads yó rudró agnāú (so far, Ppp. agrees) yó apsú yá óṣadīṣu
