Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.174
त्वं राजेन्द्र ये च देवा रक्षा नॄन् पाह्य् असुर त्वम् अस्मान् । त्वं सत्पतिर् मघवा नस् तरुत्रस् त्वं सत्यो वसवानः सहोदाः ॥
tvaṃ rājendra ye ca devā rakṣā nṝn pāhy asura tvam asmān | tvaṃ satpatir maghavā nas tarutras tvaṃ satyo vasavānaḥ sahodāḥ ||
Thou art the King of all the Gods, O Indra: protect the men, O Asura, preserve us. Thou Lord of Heroes, Maghavan, our saver, art faithful, very rich, the victory-giver.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दनो विश इन्द्र मृध्रवाचः सप्त यत् पुरः शर्म शारदीर् दर्त् । ऋणोर् अपो अनवद्यार्णा यूने वृत्रम् पुरुकुत्साय रन्धीः ॥
dano viśa indra mṛdhravācaḥ sapta yat puraḥ śarma śāradīr dart | ṛṇor apo anavadyārṇā yūne vṛtram purukutsāya randhīḥ ||
Indra, thou humbledst tribes that spake with insult by breaking down seven autumn forts, their refuge. Thou stirredst, Blameless! billowy floods, and gavest his foe a prey to youthful Purukutsa.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अजा वृत इन्द्र शूरपत्नीर् द्यां च येभिः पुरुहूत नूनम् । रक्षो अग्निम् अशुषं तूर्वयाणं सिंहो न दमे अपांसि वस्तोः ॥
ajā vṛta indra śūrapatnīr dyāṃ ca yebhiḥ puruhūta nūnam | rakṣo agnim aśuṣaṃ tūrvayāṇaṃ siṃho na dame apāṃsi vastoḥ ||
With whom thou drivest troops whose lords are heroes, and bringest daylight now, much worshipped Indra, With them guard lion-like wasting active Agni to dwell in our tilled fields and in our homestead.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शेषन् नु त इन्द्र सस्मिन् योनौ प्रशस्तये पवीरवस्य मह्ना । सृजद् अर्णांस्य् अव यद् युधा गास् तिष्ठद् धरी धृषता मृष्ट वाजान् ॥
śeṣan nu ta indra sasmin yonau praśastaye pavīravasya mahnā | sṛjad arṇāṃsy ava yad yudhā gās tiṣṭhad dharī dhṛṣatā mṛṣṭa vājān ||
They through the greatness of thy spear, O Indra, shall, to thy praise, rest in this earthly station. To loose the floods, to seek, for kine, the battle, his Bays he mounted boldly seized the booty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वह कुत्सम् इन्द्र यस्मिञ् चाकन् स्यूमन्यू ऋज्रा वातस्याश्वा । प्र सूरश् चक्रं वृहताद् अभीके ऽभि स्पृधो यासिषद् वज्रबाहुः ॥
vaha kutsam indra yasmiñ cākan syūmanyū ṛjrā vātasyāśvā | pra sūraś cakraṃ vṛhatād abhīke 'bhi spṛdho yāsiṣad vajrabāhuḥ ||
Indra, bear Kutsa, him in whom thou joyest: the dark-red horses of the Wind are docile. Let the Sun roll his chariot wheel anear us, and let the Thunderer go to meet the foemen.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
जघन्वां इन्द्र मित्रेरूञ् चोदप्रवृद्धो हरिवो अदाशून् । प्र ये पश्यन्न् अर्यमणं सचायोस् त्वया शूर्ता वहमाना अपत्यम् ॥
jaghanvāṃ indra mitrerūñ codapravṛddho harivo adāśūn | pra ye paśyann aryamaṇaṃ sacāyos tvayā śūrtā vahamānā apatyam ||
Thou Indra, Lord of Bays, made strong by impulse, hast slain the vexers of thy friends, who give not. They who beheld the Friend beside the living were cast aside by thee as they rode onward.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
रपत् कविर् इन्द्रार्कसातौ क्षां दासायोपबर्हणीं कः । करत् तिस्रो मघवा दानुचित्रा नि दुर्योणे कुयवाचम् मृधि श्रेत् ॥
rapat kavir indrārkasātau kṣāṃ dāsāyopabarhaṇīṃ kaḥ | karat tisro maghavā dānucitrā ni duryoṇe kuyavācam mṛdhi śret ||
Indra, the bard sang forth in inspiration: thou madest earth a covering for the Dasa. Maghavan made the three that gleam with moisture, and to his home brought Kuyavac to slay him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सना ता त इन्द्र नव्या आगुः सहो नभो ऽविरणाय पूर्वीः । भिनत् पुरो न भिदो अदेवीर् ननमो वधर् अदेवस्य पीयोः ॥
sanā tā ta indra navyā āguḥ saho nabho 'viraṇāya pūrvīḥ | bhinat puro na bhido adevīr nanamo vadhar adevasya pīyoḥ ||
These thine old deeds new bards have sung, O Indra. Thou conqueredst, boundest many tribes for ever. Like castles thou hast crushed the godless races, and bowed the godless scorner's deadly weapon.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं धुनिर् इन्द्र धुनिमतीर् ऋणोर् अपः सीरा न स्रवन्तीः । प्र यत् समुद्रम् अति शूर पर्षि पारया तुर्वशं यदुं स्वस्ति ॥
tvaṃ dhunir indra dhunimatīr ṛṇor apaḥ sīrā na sravantīḥ | pra yat samudram ati śūra parṣi pārayā turvaśaṃ yaduṃ svasti ||
A Stormer thou hast made the stormy waters flow down, O Indra, like the running rivers. When o'er the flood thou broughtest them, O Hero, thou keptest Turvasa and Yadu safely.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वम् अस्माकम् इन्द्र विश्वध स्या अवृकतमो नरां नृपाता । स नो विश्वासां स्पृधां सहोदा विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥
tvam asmākam indra viśvadha syā avṛkatamo narāṃ nṛpātā | sa no viśvāsāṃ spṛdhāṃ sahodā vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||
Indra, mayst thou be ours in all occasions, protector of the men, most gentle-hearted, Giving us victory over all our rivals. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
