Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.133

उभे पुनामि रोदसी ऋतेन द्रुहो दहामि सम् महीर् अनिन्द्राः । अभिव्लग्य यत्र हता अमित्रा वैलस्थानम् परि तृळ्हा अशेरन् ॥

ubhe punāmi rodasī ṛtena druho dahāmi sam mahīr anindrāḥ | abhivlagya yatra hatā amitrā vailasthānam pari tṛḷhā aśeran ||

With sacrifice I purge both earth and heaven: I burn up great she-fiends who serve not Indra, Where throttled by thy hand the foes were slaughtered, and in the pit of death lay pierced and mangled.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अभिव्लग्या चिद् अद्रिवः शीर्षा यातुमतीनाम् । छिन्धि वटूरिणा पदा महावटूरिणा पदा ॥

abhivlagyā cid adrivaḥ śīrṣā yātumatīnām | chindhi vaṭūriṇā padā mahāvaṭūriṇā padā ||

O thou who castest forth the stones crushing the sorceresses' heads, Break them with thy wide-spreading foot, with thy wide-spreading mighty foot.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अवासाम् मघवञ् जहि शर्धो यातुमतीनाम् । वैलस्थानके अर्मके महावैलस्थे अर्मके ॥

avāsām maghavañ jahi śardho yātumatīnām | vailasthānake armake mahāvailasthe armake ||

Do thou, O Maghavan, beat off these sorceresses' daring strength. Cast them within the narrow pit. within the deep and narrow pit.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यासां तिस्रः पञ्चाशतो ऽभिव्लङ्गैर् अपावपः । तत् सु ते मनायति तकत् सु ते मनायति ॥

yāsāṃ tisraḥ pañcāśato 'bhivlaṅgair apāvapaḥ | tat su te manāyati takat su te manāyati ||

Of whom thou hast ere now destroyed thrice-fifty with thy fierce attacks. That deed they count a glorious deed, though small to thee, a glorious deed.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

पिशङ्गभृष्टिम् अम्भृणम् पिशाचिम् इन्द्र सम् मृण । सर्वं रक्षो नि बर्हय ॥

piśaṅgabhṛṣṭim ambhṛṇam piśācim indra sam mṛṇa | sarvaṃ rakṣo ni barhaya ||

O Indra, crush and bray to bits the fearful fiery-weaponed fiend: Strike every demon to the ground.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अवर् मह इन्द्र दादृहि श्रुधी नः शुशोच हि द्यौः क्षा न भीषां अद्रिवो घृणान् न भीषां अद्रिवः । शुष्मिन्तमो हि शुष्मिभिर् वधैर् उग्रेभिर् ईयसे । अपूरुषघ्नो अप्रतीत शूर सत्वभिस् त्रिसप्तैः शूर सत्वभिः ॥

avar maha indra dādṛhi śrudhī naḥ śuśoca hi dyauḥ kṣā na bhīṣāṃ adrivo ghṛṇān na bhīṣāṃ adrivaḥ | śuṣmintamo hi śuṣmibhir vadhair ugrebhir īyase | apūruṣaghno apratīta śūra satvabhis trisaptaiḥ śūra satvabhiḥ ||

Tear down the mighty ones. O Indra, hear thou us. For heaven hath glowed like earth in fear, O Thunder-armed, as dreading fierce heat, Thunder-armed! Most Mighty mid the Mighty Ones thou speedest with strong bolts of death, Not slaying men, unconquered Hero with the brave, O Hero, with the thrice-seven brave.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वनोति हि सुन्वन् क्षयम् परीणसः सुन्वानो हि ष्मा यजत्य् अव द्विषो देवानाम् अव द्विषः । सुन्वान इत् सिषासति सहस्रा वाज्य् अवृतः । सुन्वानायेन्द्रो ददात्य् आभुवं रयिं ददात्य् आभुवम् ॥

vanoti hi sunvan kṣayam parīṇasaḥ sunvāno hi ṣmā yajaty ava dviṣo devānām ava dviṣaḥ | sunvāna it siṣāsati sahasrā vājy avṛtaḥ | sunvānāyendro dadāty ābhuvaṃ rayiṃ dadāty ābhuvam ||

The pourer of libations gains the home of wealth, pouring his gift conciliates hostilities, yea, the hostilities of Gods. Pouring, he strives, unchecked and strong, to win him riches thousandfold. Indra gives lasting wealth to him who pours forth gifts, yea, wealth he gives that long shall last.
