Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.147

श्रत् ते दधामि प्रथमाय मन्यवे ऽहन् यद् वृत्रं नर्यं विवेर् अपः । उभे यत् त्वा भवतो रोदसी अनु रेजते शुष्मात् पृथिवी चिद् अद्रिवः ॥

śrat te dadhāmi prathamāya manyave 'han yad vṛtraṃ naryaṃ viver apaḥ | ubhe yat tvā bhavato rodasī anu rejate śuṣmāt pṛthivī cid adrivaḥ ||

I TRUST in thy first wrathful deed, O Indra, when thou slewest Vrtra and didst work to profit man; What time the two world-halves fell short of thee in might, and the earth trembled at thy force, O Thunder-anned.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वम् मायाभिर् अनवद्य मायिनं श्रवस्यता मनसा वृत्रम् अर्दयः । त्वाम् इन् नरो वृणते गविष्टिषु त्वां विश्वासु हव्यास्व् इष्टिषु ॥

tvam māyābhir anavadya māyinaṃ śravasyatā manasā vṛtram ardayaḥ | tvām in naro vṛṇate gaviṣṭiṣu tvāṃ viśvāsu havyāsv iṣṭiṣu ||

Thou with thy magic powers didst rend the conjurer Vrtra, O Blameless One, with heart that longed for fame. Heroes elect thee when they battle for the prey, thee in all sacrifices worthy of renown.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ऐषु चाकन्धि पुरुहूत सूरिषु वृधासो ये मघवन्न् आनशुर् मघम् । अर्चन्ति तोके तनये परिष्टिषु मेधसाता वाजिनम् अह्रये धने ॥

aiṣu cākandhi puruhūta sūriṣu vṛdhāso ye maghavann ānaśur magham | arcanti toke tanaye pariṣṭiṣu medhasātā vājinam ahraye dhane ||

God Much-invoked, take pleasure in these princes here, who, thine exalters, Maghavan, have come to wealth. In synods, when the rite succeeds, they hymn the Strong for sons and progeny and riches undisturbed.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

स इन् नु रायः सुभृतस्य चाकनन् मदं यो अस्य रंह्यं चिकेतति । त्वावृधो मघवन् दाश्वध्वरो मक्षू स वाजम् भरते धना नृभिः ॥

sa in nu rāyaḥ subhṛtasya cākanan madaṃ yo asya raṃhyaṃ ciketati | tvāvṛdho maghavan dāśvadhvaro makṣū sa vājam bharate dhanā nṛbhiḥ ||

That man shall find delight in well-protected wealth whose care provides for him the quick-sought joyous draught. Bringing oblations, strengthened Maghavan, by thee, he swiftly wins the spoil with heroes in the fight.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वं शर्धाय महिना गृणान उरु कृधि मघवञ् छग्धि रायः । त्वं नो मित्रो वरुणो न मायी पित्वो न दस्म दयसे विभक्ता ॥

tvaṃ śardhāya mahinā gṛṇāna uru kṛdhi maghavañ chagdhi rāyaḥ | tvaṃ no mitro varuṇo na māyī pitvo na dasma dayase vibhaktā ||

Now for our band, O Maghavan, when lauded, make ample room with might, and grant us riches. Magician thou, our Varuna and Mitra, deal food to us, O Wondrous, as Dispenser.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
