Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.23
यजामह इन्द्रं वज्रदक्षिणं हरीणां रथ्यं विव्रतानाम् । प्र श्मश्रु दोधुवद् ऊर्ध्वथा भूद् वि सेनाभिर् दयमानो वि राधसा ॥
yajāmaha indraṃ vajradakṣiṇaṃ harīṇāṃ rathyaṃ vivratānām | pra śmaśru dodhuvad ūrdhvathā bhūd vi senābhir dayamāno vi rādhasā ||
Indra, whose right hand wields the bolt, we worship, driver of Bay Steeds seeking sundered courses. Shaking his beard with might he hath arisen, casting his weapons forth and dealing bounties.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
हरी न्व् अस्य या वने विदे वस्व् इन्द्रो मघैर् मघवा वृत्रहा भुवत् । ऋभुर् वाज ऋभुक्षाः पत्यते शवो ऽव क्ष्णौमि दासस्य नाम चित् ॥
harī nv asya yā vane vide vasv indro maghair maghavā vṛtrahā bhuvat | ṛbhur vāja ṛbhukṣāḥ patyate śavo 'va kṣṇaumi dāsasya nāma cit ||
The treasure which his Bay Steeds found at sacrifice,-this wealth made opulent Indra slayer of the foe. Rbhu, Rbhuksan, Vaja-he is Lord of Might. The Dasa's very name I utterly destroy.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यदा वज्रं हिरण्यम् इद् अथा रथं हरी यम् अस्य वहतो वि सूरिभिः । आ तिष्ठति मघवा सनश्रुत इन्द्रो वाजस्य दीर्घश्रवसस् पतिः ॥
yadā vajraṃ hiraṇyam id athā rathaṃ harī yam asya vahato vi sūribhiḥ | ā tiṣṭhati maghavā sanaśruta indro vājasya dīrghaśravasas patiḥ ||
When, with the Princes, Maghavari, famed of old, comes nigh the thunderbolt of gold, and the Controller's car Which his two Tawny Coursers draw, then Indra is the Sovran Lord of power whose glory spreads afar.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सो चिन् नु वृष्टिर् यूथ्या स्वा सचां इन्द्रः श्मश्रूणि हरिताभि प्रुष्णुते । अव वेति सुक्षयं सुते मधूद् इद् धूनोति वातो यथा वनम् ॥
so cin nu vṛṣṭir yūthyā svā sacāṃ indraḥ śmaśrūṇi haritābhi pruṣṇute | ava veti sukṣayaṃ sute madhūd id dhūnoti vāto yathā vanam ||
With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra throws drops of moisture on his yellow beard. When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and stirs the worshipper as wind disturbs the wood.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो वाचा विवाचो मृध्रवाचः पुरू सहस्राशिवा जघान । तत्-तद् इद् अस्य पौंस्यं गृणीमसि पितेव यस् तविषीं वावृधे शवः ॥
yo vācā vivāco mṛdhravācaḥ purū sahasrāśivā jaghāna | tat-tad id asya pauṃsyaṃ gṛṇīmasi piteva yas taviṣīṃ vāvṛdhe śavaḥ ||
We laud and praise his several deeds of valour who, father like, with power hath made us stronger; Who with his voice slew many thousand wicked ones who spake in varied manners with contemptuous cries.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स्तोमं त इन्द्र विमदा अजीजनन्न् अपूर्व्यम् पुरुतमं सुदानवे । विद्मा ह्य् अस्य भोजनम् इनस्य यद् आ पशुं न गोपाः करामहे ॥
stomaṃ ta indra vimadā ajījanann apūrvyam purutamaṃ sudānave | vidmā hy asya bhojanam inasya yad ā paśuṃ na gopāḥ karāmahe ||
Indra, the Vimadas have formed for thee a laud, copious, unparalleled, for thee Most Bountiful. We know the good we gain from him the Mighty One when we attract him as a herdsman calls the kine.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
माकिर् न एना सख्या वि यौषुस् तव चेन्द्र विमदस्य च ऋषेः । विद्मा हि ते प्रमतिं देव जामिवद् अस्मे ते सन्तु सख्या शिवानि ॥
mākir na enā sakhyā vi yauṣus tava cendra vimadasya ca ṛṣeḥ | vidmā hi te pramatiṃ deva jāmivad asme te santu sakhyā śivāni ||
Ne'er may this bond of friendship be dissevered, the Rsi Vimada's and thine, O Indra. We know thou carest for us as a brother with us, O God, be thine auspicious friendship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
