सु॒प्र॒वा॒च॒नं तव॑ वीर वी॒र्यं१॒॑ यदेके॑न॒ क्रतु॑ना वि॒न्दसे॒ वसु॑ । जा॒तूष्ठि॑रस्य॒ प्र वय॒: सह॑स्वतो॒ या च॒कर्थ॒ सेन्द्र॒ विश्वा॑स्यु॒क्थ्य॑: ॥

English translation:
“Your heroism, hero, is to be glorified, by which, with single effort, you have acquired wealth; (wherewith) the (sacrificial) food of (every) solemn and constant (ceremony is provided); for all (the acts) you have performed, you, Indra, are he who is to be praised.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Wherewith the sacrificial food: jātūṣṭhirasya pra vayaḥ sahasvato: jātuṣṭhara may be a proper name; i.e. you have given (pra = pradaḥ) food to the vigorous jātuṣṭhara; alternatively, Indra being the occasional (jātu) agent in sacrificial offerings (vayas) in relation to constant and essential ceremonies: sthirasya balavato yajñādeḥ karmaṇaḥ sambandhi vayas
