Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.50

प्र वो महे मन्दमानायान्धसो ऽर्चा विश्वानराय विश्वाभुवे । इन्द्रस्य यस्य सुमखं सहो महि श्रवो नृम्णं च रोदसी सपर्यतः ॥

pra vo mahe mandamānāyāndhaso 'rcā viśvānarāya viśvābhuve | indrasya yasya sumakhaṃ saho mahi śravo nṛmṇaṃ ca rodasī saparyataḥ ||

I LAUD your Mighty One who joyeth in the juice, him who is shared by all men, who created all; Indra, whose conquering strength is powerful in war, whose fame and manly vigour Heaven and Earth revere.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

सो चिन् नु सख्या नर्य इन स्तुतश् चर्कृत्य इन्द्रो मावते नरे । विश्वासु धूर्षु वाजकृत्येषु सत्पते वृत्रे वाप्स्व् अभि शूर मन्दसे ॥

so cin nu sakhyā narya ina stutaś carkṛtya indro māvate nare | viśvāsu dhūrṣu vājakṛtyeṣu satpate vṛtre vāpsv abhi śūra mandase ||

He with his friend is active, lauded, good to man, Indra who must be glorified by one like me. Hero, Lord of the brave, all cars are thy delight, warring with Vrtra, or for waters, or for spoil.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

के ते नर इन्द्र ये त इषे ये ते सुम्नं सधन्यम् इयक्षान् । के ते वाजायासुर्याय हिन्विरे के अप्सु स्वासूर्वरासु पौंस्ये ॥

ke te nara indra ye ta iṣe ye te sumnaṃ sadhanyam iyakṣān | ke te vājāyāsuryāya hinvire ke apsu svāsūrvarāsu pauṃsye ||

Who are the men whom thou wilt further, Indra, who strive to win thy bliss allied with riches? Who urged thee forward to exert thy power divine, to valour, in the war for waters on their fields?

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

भुवस् त्वम् इन्द्र ब्रह्मणा महान् भुवो विश्वेषु सवनेषु यज्ञियः । भुवो नॄंश् च्यौत्नो विश्वस्मिन् भरे ज्येष्ठश् च मन्त्रो विश्वचर्षणे ॥

bhuvas tvam indra brahmaṇā mahān bhuvo viśveṣu savaneṣu yajñiyaḥ | bhuvo nṝṃś cyautno viśvasmin bhare jyeṣṭhaś ca mantro viśvacarṣaṇe ||

Thou, Indra, through the holy prayer art mighty, worthy of sacrifice at all libations. In every fight thou castest heroes on the ground: thou art the noblest song, O Lord of all the folk.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अवा नु कं ज्यायान् यज्ञवनसो महीं त ओमात्रां कृष्टयो विदुः । असो नु कम् अजरो वर्धाश् च विश्वेद् एता सवना तूतुमा कृषे ॥

avā nu kaṃ jyāyān yajñavanaso mahīṃ ta omātrāṃ kṛṣṭayo viduḥ | aso nu kam ajaro vardhāś ca viśved etā savanā tūtumā kṛṣe ||

Help now, as Highest, those who toil at sacrifice: well do the people know thy great protecting might. Thou shalt be everlasting, Giver of success yea, on all these libations thou bestowest strength.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एता विश्वा सवना तूतुमा कृषे स्वयं सूनो सहसो यानि दधिषे । वराय ते पात्रं धर्मणे तना यज्ञो मन्त्रो ब्रह्मोद्यतं वचः ॥

etā viśvā savanā tūtumā kṛṣe svayaṃ sūno sahaso yāni dadhiṣe | varāya te pātraṃ dharmaṇe tanā yajño mantro brahmodyataṃ vacaḥ ||

All these libations thou makest effectual, of which thou art thyself supporter, Son of Power. Therefore thy vessel is to be esteemed the best, sacrifice, holy text, prayer, and exalted speech.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ये ते विप्र ब्रह्मकृतः सुते सचा वसूनां च वसुनश् च दावने । प्र ते सुम्नस्य मनसा पथा भुवन् मदे सुतस्य सोम्यस्यान्धसः ॥

ye te vipra brahmakṛtaḥ sute sacā vasūnāṃ ca vasunaś ca dāvane | pra te sumnasya manasā pathā bhuvan made sutasya somyasyāndhasaḥ ||

They who with flowing Soma pray to thee, O Sage, to pour on them thy gifts of opulence and wealth, May they come forward, through their spirit, on the path of bliss, in the wild joy of Soma juice effused.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
