Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.131
अप प्राच इन्द्र विश्वां अमित्रान् अपापाचो अभिभूते नुदस्व । अपोदीचो अप शूराधराच उरौ यथा तव शर्मन् मदेम ॥
apa prāca indra viśvāṃ amitrān apāpāco abhibhūte nudasva | apodīco apa śūrādharāca urau yathā tava śarman madema ||
Drive all our enemies away, O Indra, the western, mighty Conqueror, and the eastern. Hero, drive off our northern foes and southern, that we in thy wide shelter may be joyful.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
कुविद् अङ्ग यवमन्तो यवं चिद् यथा दान्त्य् अनुपूर्वं वियूय । इहेहैषां कृणुहि भोजनानि ये बर्हिषो नमोवृक्तिं न जग्मुः ॥
kuvid aṅga yavamanto yavaṃ cid yathā dānty anupūrvaṃ viyūya | ihehaiṣāṃ kṛṇuhi bhojanāni ye barhiṣo namovṛktiṃ na jagmuḥ ||
What then? As men whose fields are full of barley reap the ripe corn removing it in order, So bring the food of those men, bring it hither, who went not to prepare the grass for worship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नहि स्थूर्य् ऋतुथा यातम् अस्ति नोत श्रवो विविदे संगमेषु । गव्यन्त इन्द्रं सख्याय विप्रा अश्वायन्तो वृषणं वाजयन्तः ॥
nahi sthūry ṛtuthā yātam asti nota śravo vivide saṃgameṣu | gavyanta indraṃ sakhyāya viprā aśvāyanto vṛṣaṇaṃ vājayantaḥ ||
Men come not with one horse at sacred seasons; thus they obtain no honour in assemblies. Sages desiring herds of kine and horses strengthen the mighty Indra for his friendship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवं सुरामम् अश्विना नमुचाव् आसुरे सचा । विपिपाना शुभस् पती इन्द्रं कर्मस्व् आवतम् ॥
yuvaṃ surāmam aśvinā namucāv āsure sacā | vipipānā śubhas patī indraṃ karmasv āvatam ||
Ye, Asvins, Lords of Splendour, drank full draughts of grateful Soma juice, And aided Indra in his work with Namuci of Asura birth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पुत्रम् इव पितराव् अश्विनोभेन्द्रावथुः काव्यैर् दंसनाभिः । यत् सुरामं व्य् अपिबः शचीभिः सरस्वती त्वा मघवन्न् अभिष्णक् ॥
putram iva pitarāv aśvinobhendrāvathuḥ kāvyair daṃsanābhiḥ | yat surāmaṃ vy apibaḥ śacībhiḥ sarasvatī tvā maghavann abhiṣṇak ||
As parents aid a son, both Asvins, Indra, aided thee with their wondrous Powers and wisdom. When thou, with might. hadst drunk the draught that gladdens, Sarasvati, O Maghavan, refreshed thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्द्रः सुत्रामा स्ववां अवोभिः सुमृळीको भवतु विश्ववेदाः । बाधतां द्वेषो अभयं कृणोतु सुवीर्यस्य पतयः स्याम ॥
indraḥ sutrāmā svavāṃ avobhiḥ sumṛḷīko bhavatu viśvavedāḥ | bādhatāṃ dveṣo abhayaṃ kṛṇotu suvīryasya patayaḥ syāma ||
Indra is strong to save, rich in assistance may he, possessing all, be kind and gracious. May he disperse our foes and give us safety, and may we be the lords of hero vigour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तस्य वयं सुमतौ यज्ञियस्यापि भद्रे सौमनसे स्याम । स सुत्रामा स्ववां इन्द्रो अस्मे आराच् चिद् द्वेषः सनुतर् युयोतु ॥
tasya vayaṃ sumatau yajñiyasyāpi bhadre saumanase syāma | sa sutrāmā svavāṃ indro asme ārāc cid dveṣaḥ sanutar yuyotu ||
May we enjoy his favour, his the Holy may we enjoy his blessed loving kindness. May this rich Indra, as our good Protector, drive off and keep afar all those who hate us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
