Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.178

यद् ध स्या त इन्द्र श्रुष्टिर् अस्ति यया बभूथ जरितृभ्य ऊती । मा नः कामम् महयन्तम् आ धग् विश्वा ते अश्याम् पर्य् आप आयोः ॥

yad dha syā ta indra śruṣṭir asti yayā babhūtha jaritṛbhya ūtī | mā naḥ kāmam mahayantam ā dhag viśvā te aśyām pary āpa āyoḥ ||

If, Indra, thou hast given that gracious hearing where with thou helpest those who sang thy praises. Blast not the wish that would exalt us may I gain all from thee, and pay all man's devotions.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

न घा राजेन्द्र आ दभन् नो या नु स्वसारा कृणवन्त योनौ । आपश् चिद् अस्मै सुतुका अवेषन् गमन् न इन्द्रः सख्या वयश् च ॥

na ghā rājendra ā dabhan no yā nu svasārā kṛṇavanta yonau | āpaś cid asmai sutukā aveṣan gaman na indraḥ sakhyā vayaś ca ||

Let not the Sovran Indra disappoint us in what shall bring both Sisters to our dwelling. To him have run the quickly flowing waters. May Indra come to us with life and friendship.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

जेता नृभिर् इन्द्रः पृत्सु शूरः श्रोता हवं नाधमानस्य कारोः । प्रभर्ता रथं दाशुष उपाक उद्यन्ता गिरो यदि च त्मना भूत् ॥

jetā nṛbhir indraḥ pṛtsu śūraḥ śrotā havaṃ nādhamānasya kāroḥ | prabhartā rathaṃ dāśuṣa upāka udyantā giro yadi ca tmanā bhūt ||

Victorious with the men, Hero in battles, Indra, who hears the singer's supplication, Will bring his car nigh to the man who offers, if he himself upholds the songs that praise him.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एवा नृभिर् इन्द्रः सुश्रवस्या प्रखादः पृक्षो अभि मित्रिणो भूत् । समर्य इष स्तवते विवाचि सत्राकरो यजमानस्य शंसः ॥

evā nṛbhir indraḥ suśravasyā prakhādaḥ pṛkṣo abhi mitriṇo bhūt | samarya iṣa stavate vivāci satrākaro yajamānasya śaṃsaḥ ||

Yea, Indra, with the men, through love of glory consumes the sacred food which friends have offered. The ever-strengthening song of him who worships is sung in fight amid the clash of voices.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वया वयम् मघवन्न् इन्द्र शत्रून् अभि ष्याम महतो मन्यमानान् । त्वं त्राता त्वम् उ नो वृधे भूर् विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥

tvayā vayam maghavann indra śatrūn abhi ṣyāma mahato manyamānān | tvaṃ trātā tvam u no vṛdhe bhūr vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||

Aided by thee, O Maghavan, O Indra, may we subdue our foes who count them mighty. Be our protector, strengthen and increase us. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
