Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.57
प्र मंहिष्ठाय बृहते बृहद्रये सत्यशुष्माय तवसे मतिम् भरे । अपाम् इव प्रवणे यस्य दुर्धरं राधो विश्वायु शवसे अपावृतम् ॥
pra maṃhiṣṭhāya bṛhate bṛhadraye satyaśuṣmāya tavase matim bhare | apām iva pravaṇe yasya durdharaṃ rādho viśvāyu śavase apāvṛtam ||
To him most liberal, lofty Lord of lofty wealth, verily powerful and strong, I bring my hymn,-- Whose checkless bounty, as of waters down a slope, is spread abroad for all that live, to give them strength.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अध ते विश्वम् अनु हासद् इष्टय आपो निम्नेव सवना हविष्मतः । यत् पर्वते न समशीत हर्यत इन्द्रस्य वज्रः श्नथिता हिरण्ययः ॥
adha te viśvam anu hāsad iṣṭaya āpo nimneva savanā haviṣmataḥ | yat parvate na samaśīta haryata indrasya vajraḥ śnathitā hiraṇyayaḥ ||
Now all this world, for worship, shall come after thee--the offerer's libations like floods to the depth, When the well-loved one seems to rest upon the hill, the thunderbolt of Indra, shatterer wrought of gold.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्मै भीमाय नमसा सम् अध्वर उषो न शुभ्र आ भरा पनीयसे । यस्य धाम श्रवसे नामेन्द्रियं ज्योतिर् अकारि हरितो नायसे ॥
asmai bhīmāya namasā sam adhvara uṣo na śubhra ā bharā panīyase | yasya dhāma śravase nāmendriyaṃ jyotir akāri harito nāyase ||
To him the terrible, most meet for lofty praise, like bright Dawn, now bring gifts with reverence in this rite, Whose being, for renown, yea, Indra-power and light, have been created, like bay steeds, to move with speed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इमे त इन्द्र ते वयम् पुरुष्टुत ये त्वारभ्य चरामसि प्रभूवसो । नहि त्वद् अन्यो गिर्वणो गिरः सघत् क्षोणीर् इव प्रति नो हर्य तद् वचः ॥
ime ta indra te vayam puruṣṭuta ye tvārabhya carāmasi prabhūvaso | nahi tvad anyo girvaṇo giraḥ saghat kṣoṇīr iva prati no harya tad vacaḥ ||
Thine, Indra, praised by many, excellently rich! are we who trusting in thy help draw near to thee. Lover of praise, none else but thou receives our laud: as earth loves all her creatures, love thou this our hymn.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
भूरि त इन्द्र वीर्यं तव स्मस्य् अस्य स्तोतुर् मघवन् कामम् आ पृण । अनु ते द्यौर् बृहती वीर्यम् मम इयं च ते पृथिवी नेम ओजसे ॥
bhūri ta indra vīryaṃ tava smasy asya stotur maghavan kāmam ā pṛṇa | anu te dyaur bṛhatī vīryam mama iyaṃ ca te pṛthivī nema ojase ||
Great is thy power, O Indra, we are thine. Fulfil, O Maghavan, the wish of this thy worshipper. After thee lofty heaven hath measured out its strength: to thee and to thy power this earth hath bowed itself.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं तम् इन्द्र पर्वतम् महाम् उरुं वज्रेण वज्रिन् पर्वशश् चकर्तिथ । अवासृजो निवृताः सर्तवा अपः सत्रा विश्वं दधिषे केवलं सहः ॥
tvaṃ tam indra parvatam mahām uruṃ vajreṇa vajrin parvaśaś cakartitha | avāsṛjo nivṛtāḥ sartavā apaḥ satrā viśvaṃ dadhiṣe kevalaṃ sahaḥ ||
Thou, who hast thunder for thy weapon, with thy bolt hast shattered into pieces this broad massive cloud. Thou hast sent down the obstructed floods that they may flow: thou hast, thine own for ever, all victorious might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
