Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.81
इन्द्रो मदाय वावृधे शवसे वृत्रहा नृभिः । तम् इन् महत्स्व् आजिषूतेम् अर्भे हवामहे स वाजेषु प्र नो ऽविषत् ॥
indro madāya vāvṛdhe śavase vṛtrahā nṛbhiḥ | tam in mahatsv ājiṣūtem arbhe havāmahe sa vājeṣu pra no 'viṣat ||
The men have lifted Indra up, the Vrtra slayer, to joy and strength: Him, verily, we invocate in battles whether great or small: be he our aid in deeds of might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
असि हि वीर सेन्यो ऽसि भूरि पराददिः । असि दभ्रस्य चिद् वृधो यजमानाय शिक्षसि सुन्वते भूरि ते वसु ॥
asi hi vīra senyo 'si bhūri parādadiḥ | asi dabhrasya cid vṛdho yajamānāya śikṣasi sunvate bhūri te vasu ||
Thou, Hero, art a warrior, thou art giver of abundant spoil. Strengthening e'en the feeble, thou aidest the sacrificer, thou givest the offerer ample wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् उदीरत आजयो धृष्णवे धीयते धना । युक्ष्वा मदच्युता हरी कं हनः कं वसौ दधो ऽस्मां इन्द्र वसौ दधः ॥
yad udīrata ājayo dhṛṣṇave dhīyate dhanā | yukṣvā madacyutā harī kaṃ hanaḥ kaṃ vasau dadho 'smāṃ indra vasau dadhaḥ ||
When war and battles are on foot, booty is laid before the bold. Yoke thou thy wildly-rushing Bays. Whom wilt thou slay and whom enrich? Do thou, O Indra, make us rich.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
क्रत्वा महां अनुष्वधम् भीम आ वावृधे शवः । श्रिय ऋष्व उपाकयोर् नि शिप्री हरिवान् दधे हस्तयोर् वज्रम् आयसम् ॥
kratvā mahāṃ anuṣvadham bhīma ā vāvṛdhe śavaḥ | śriya ṛṣva upākayor ni śiprī harivān dadhe hastayor vajram āyasam ||
Mighty through wisdom, as he lists, terrible, he hath waxed in strength. Lord of Bay Steeds, strong-jawed, sublime, he in joined hands for glory's sake hath grasped his iron thunderbolt.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ पप्रौ पार्थिवं रजो बद्बधे रोचना दिवि । न त्वावां इन्द्र कश् चन न जातो न जनिष्यते ऽति विश्वं ववक्षिथ ॥
ā paprau pārthivaṃ rajo badbadhe rocanā divi | na tvāvāṃ indra kaś cana na jāto na janiṣyate 'ti viśvaṃ vavakṣitha ||
He filled the earthly atmosphere and pressed against the lights in heaven. None like thee ever hath been born, none, Indra, will be born like thee. Thou hast waxed mighty over all.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो अर्यो मर्तभोजनम् पराददाति दाशुषे । इन्द्रो अस्मभ्यं शिक्षतु वि भजा भूरि ते वसु भक्षीय तव राधसः ॥
yo aryo martabhojanam parādadāti dāśuṣe | indro asmabhyaṃ śikṣatu vi bhajā bhūri te vasu bhakṣīya tava rādhasaḥ ||
May he who to the offerer gives the foeman's man-sustaining food, May Indra lend his aid to us. Deal forth--abundant is thy wealth--that in thy bounty I may share.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मदे-मदे हि नो ददिर् यूथा गवाम् ऋजुक्रतुः । सं गृभाय पुरू शतोभयाहस्त्या वसु शिशीहि राय आ भर ॥
made-made hi no dadir yūthā gavām ṛjukratuḥ | saṃ gṛbhāya purū śatobhayāhastyā vasu śiśīhi rāya ā bhara ||
He, righteous-hearted, at each time of rapture gives us herds of kine. Gather in both thy hands for us treasures of many hundred sorts. Sharpen thou us, and bring us wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मादयस्व सुते सचा शवसे शूर राधसे । विद्मा हि त्वा पुरूवसुम् उप कामान् ससृज्महे ऽथा नो ऽविता भव ॥
mādayasva sute sacā śavase śūra rādhase | vidmā hi tvā purūvasum upa kāmān sasṛjmahe 'thā no 'vitā bhava ||
Refresh thee, Hero, with the juice outpoured for bounty and for strength. We know thee Lord of ample store, to thee have sent our hearts' desires: be therefore our Protector thou.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते त इन्द्र जन्तवो विश्वम् पुष्यन्ति वार्यम् । अन्तर् हि ख्यो जनानाम् अर्यो वेदो अदाशुषां तेषां नो वेद आ भर ॥
ete ta indra jantavo viśvam puṣyanti vāryam | antar hi khyo janānām aryo vedo adāśuṣāṃ teṣāṃ no veda ā bhara ||
These people, Indra, keep for thee all that is worthy of thy choice. Discover thou, as Lord, the wealth of men who offer up no gifts: bring thou to us this wealth of theirs.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
