Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.131

इन्द्राय हि द्यौर् असुरो अनम्नतेन्द्राय मही पृथिवी वरीमभिर् द्युम्नसाता वरीमभिः । इन्द्रं विश्वे सजोषसो देवासो दधिरे पुरः । इन्द्राय विश्वा सवनानि मानुषा रातानि सन्तु मानुषा ॥

indrāya hi dyaur asuro anamnatendrāya mahī pṛthivī varīmabhir dyumnasātā varīmabhiḥ | indraṃ viśve sajoṣaso devāso dadhire puraḥ | indrāya viśvā savanāni mānuṣā rātāni santu mānuṣā ||

To Indra Dyaus the Asura hath bowed him down, to Indra mighty Earth with wide-extending tracts, to win the light, with wide-spread tracts. All Gods of one accord have set Indra in front preeminent. For Indra all libations must be set apart, all man's libations set apart.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1.131.2

विश्वेषु हि त्वा सवनेषु तुञ्जते समानम् एकं वृषमण्यवः पृथक् स्वः सनिष्यवः पृथक् । तं त्वा नावं न पर्षणिं शूषस्य धुरि धीमहि । इन्द्रं न यज्ञैश् चितयन्त आयव स्तोमेभिर् इन्द्रम् आयवः ॥

viśveṣu hi tvā savaneṣu tuñjate samānam ekaṃ vṛṣamaṇyavaḥ pṛthak svaḥ saniṣyavaḥ pṛthak | taṃ tvā nāvaṃ na parṣaṇiṃ śūṣasya dhuri dhīmahi | indraṃ na yajñaiś citayanta āyava stomebhir indram āyavaḥ ||

In all libations men with hero spirit urge the Universal One, each seeking several light, each fain to win the light apart. Thee, furthering like a ship, will we set to the chariot-pole of strength, As men who win with sacrifices Indra's thought, men who win Indra with their lauds.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1.131.3

वि त्वा ततस्रे मिथुना अवस्यवो व्रजस्य साता गव्यस्य निःसृजः सक्षन्त इन्द्र निःसृजः । यद् गव्यन्ता द्वा जना स्वर् यन्ता समूहसि । आविष् करिक्रद् वृषणं सचाभुवं वज्रम् इन्द्र सचाभुवम् ॥

vi tvā tatasre mithunā avasyavo vrajasya sātā gavyasya niḥsṛjaḥ sakṣanta indra niḥsṛjaḥ | yad gavyantā dvā janā svar yantā samūhasi | āviṣ karikrad vṛṣaṇaṃ sacābhuvaṃ vajram indra sacābhuvam ||

Couples desirous of thine aid are storming thee, pouring their presents forth to win a stall of kine, pouring gifts, Indra, seeking thee. When two men seeking spoil or heaven thou bringest face to face in war, Thou showest, Indra, then the bolt thy constant friend, the Bull that ever waits on thee.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1.131.4

विदुष् टे अस्य वीर्यस्य पूरवः पुरो यद् इन्द्र शारदीर् अवातिरः सासहानो अवातिरः । शासस् तम् इन्द्र मर्त्यम् अयज्युं शवसस् पते । महीम् अमुष्णाः पृथिवीम् इमा अपो मन्दसान इमा अपः ॥

viduṣ ṭe asya vīryasya pūravaḥ puro yad indra śāradīr avātiraḥ sāsahāno avātiraḥ | śāsas tam indra martyam ayajyuṃ śavasas pate | mahīm amuṣṇāḥ pṛthivīm imā apo mandasāna imā apaḥ ||

This thine heroic power men of old time have known, wherewith thou breakest down, Indra, autumnal forts, breakest them down with conquering might. Thou hast chastised, O Indra, Lord of Strength, the man who worships not, And made thine own this great earth and these water-floods; with joyous heart these <A HREF="errata.htm#1">water-floods</A>.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1.131.5

आद् इत् ते अस्य वीर्यस्य चर्किरन् मदेषु वृषन्न् उशिजो यद् आविथ सखीयतो यद् आविथ । चकर्थ कारम् एभ्यः पृतनासु प्रवन्तवे । ते अन्याम्-अन्यां नद्यं सनिष्णत श्रवस्यन्तः सनिष्णत ॥

ād it te asya vīryasya carkiran madeṣu vṛṣann uśijo yad āvitha sakhīyato yad āvitha | cakartha kāram ebhyaḥ pṛtanāsu pravantave | te anyām-anyāṃ nadyaṃ saniṣṇata śravasyantaḥ saniṣṇata ||

And they have bruited far this hero-might when thou, O Strong One, in thy joy helpest thy suppliants, who sought to win thee for their Friend. Their battle-cry thou madest sound victorious in the shocks of war. One stream after another have they gained from thee, eager for glory have they gained.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1.131.6

उतो नो अस्या उषसो जुषेत ह्य् अर्कस्य बोधि हविषो हवीमभिः स्वर्षाता हवीमभिः । यद् इन्द्र हन्तवे मृधो वृषा वज्रिञ् चिकेतसि । आ मे अस्य वेधसो नवीयसो मन्म श्रुधि नवीयसः ॥

uto no asyā uṣaso juṣeta hy arkasya bodhi haviṣo havīmabhiḥ svarṣātā havīmabhiḥ | yad indra hantave mṛdho vṛṣā vajriñ ciketasi | ā me asya vedhaso navīyaso manma śrudhi navīyasaḥ ||

Also this morn may he be well inclined to us, mark at our call our offerings and our song of praise, our call that we may win the light. As thou, O Indra Thunder-armed, wilt, as the Strong One, slay the foe, Listen thou to the prayer of me a later sage, hear thou a later sage's prayer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1.131.7

त्वं तम् इन्द्र वावृधानो अस्मयुर् अमित्रयन्तं तुविजात मर्त्यं वज्रेण शूर मर्त्यम् । जहि यो नो अघायति शृणुष्व सुश्रवस्तमः । रिष्टं न यामन्न् अप भूतु दुर्मतिर् विश्वाप भूतु दुर्मतिः ॥

tvaṃ tam indra vāvṛdhāno asmayur amitrayantaṃ tuvijāta martyaṃ vajreṇa śūra martyam | jahi yo no aghāyati śṛṇuṣva suśravastamaḥ | riṣṭaṃ na yāmann apa bhūtu durmatir viśvāpa bhūtu durmatiḥ ||

O Indra, waxen strong and well-inclined to us, thou very mighty, slay the man that is our foe, slay the man, Hero! with thy bolt. Slay thou the man who injures us: hear thou, as readiest, to hear. Far be malignity, like mischief on the march, afar be all malignity.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
