Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.169
महश् चित् त्वम् इन्द्र यत एतान् महश् चिद् असि त्यजसो वरूता । स नो वेधो मरुतां चिकित्वान् सुम्ना वनुष्व तव हि प्रेष्ठा ॥
mahaś cit tvam indra yata etān mahaś cid asi tyajaso varūtā | sa no vedho marutāṃ cikitvān sumnā vanuṣva tava hi preṣṭhā ||
As, Indra, from great treason thou protectest, yea, from great treachery these who approach us, So, marking well, Controller of the Maruts grant us their blessings, for they are thy dearest.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अयुज्रन् त इन्द्र विश्वकृष्टीर् विदानासो निष्षिधो मर्त्यत्रा । मरुताम् पृत्सुतिर् हासमाना स्वर्मीळ्हस्य प्रधनस्य सातौ ॥
ayujran ta indra viśvakṛṣṭīr vidānāso niṣṣidho martyatrā | marutām pṛtsutir hāsamānā svarmīḷhasya pradhanasya sātau ||
The various doings of all mortal people by thee are ordered, in thy wisdom, Indra. The host of Maruts goeth forth exulting to win the light-bestowing spoil of battle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अम्यक् सा त इन्द्र ऋष्टिर् अस्मे सनेम्य् अभ्वम् मरुतो जुनन्ति । अग्निश् चिद् धि ष्मातसे शुशुक्वान् आपो न द्वीपं दधति प्रयांसि ॥
amyak sā ta indra ṛṣṭir asme sanemy abhvam maruto junanti | agniś cid dhi ṣmātase śuśukvān āpo na dvīpaṃ dadhati prayāṃsi ||
That spear of thine sat firm for us, O Indra: the Maruts set their whole dread power in motion. E'en Agni shines resplendent in the brush-wood: the viands hold him as floods hold an island.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं तू न इन्द्र तं रयिं दा ओजिष्ठया दक्षिणयेव रातिम् । स्तुतश् च यास् ते चकनन्त वायो स्तनं न मध्वः पीपयन्त वाजैः ॥
tvaṃ tū na indra taṃ rayiṃ dā ojiṣṭhayā dakṣiṇayeva rātim | stutaś ca yās te cakananta vāyo stanaṃ na madhvaḥ pīpayanta vājaiḥ ||
Vouchsafe us now that opulence, O Indra, as guerdon won by mightiest donation. May hymns that please thee cause the breast of Vayu to swell as with the mead's refreshing sweetness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वे राय इन्द्र तोशतमाः प्रणेतारः कस्य चिद् ऋतायोः । ते षु णो मरुतो मृळयन्तु ये स्मा पुरा गातूयन्तीव देवाः ॥
tve rāya indra tośatamāḥ praṇetāraḥ kasya cid ṛtāyoḥ | te ṣu ṇo maruto mṛḷayantu ye smā purā gātūyantīva devāḥ ||
With thee, O Indra, are most bounteous riches that further every one who lives uprightly. Now may these Maruts show us loving-kindness, Gods who of old were ever prompt to help us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रति प्र याहीन्द्र मीळ्हुषो नॄन् महः पार्थिवे सदने यतस्व । अध यद् एषाम् पृथुबुध्नास एतास् तीर्थे नार्यः पौंस्यानि तस्थुः ॥
prati pra yāhīndra mīḷhuṣo nṝn mahaḥ pārthive sadane yatasva | adha yad eṣām pṛthubudhnāsa etās tīrthe nāryaḥ pauṃsyāni tasthuḥ ||
Bring forth the Men who rain down boons, O Indra: exert thee in the great terrestrial region; For their broad-chested speckled deer are standing like a King's armies on the field of battle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रति घोराणाम् एतानाम् अयासाम् मरुतां शृण्व आयताम् उपब्दिः । ये मर्त्यम् पृतनायन्तम् ऊमैर् ऋणावानं न पतयन्त सर्गैः ॥
prati ghorāṇām etānām ayāsām marutāṃ śṛṇva āyatām upabdiḥ | ye martyam pṛtanāyantam ūmair ṛṇāvānaṃ na patayanta sargaiḥ ||
Heard is the roar of the advancing Maruts, terrific, glittering, and swiftly moving, Who with their rush o'erthrow as 'twere a sinner the mortal who would fight with those who love him
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वम् मानेभ्य इन्द्र विश्वजन्या रदा मरुद्भिः शुरुधो गोअग्राः । स्तवानेभि स्तवसे देव देवैर् विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥
tvam mānebhya indra viśvajanyā radā marudbhiḥ śurudho goagrāḥ | stavānebhi stavase deva devair vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||
Give to the Manas, Indra with Maruts, gifts universal, gifts of cattle foremost. Thou, God, art praised with Gods who must be lauded. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
