Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·2·2.19
अपाय्य् अस्यान्धसो मदाय मनीषिणः सुवानस्य प्रयसः । यस्मिन्न् इन्द्रः प्रदिवि वावृधान ओको दधे ब्रह्मण्यन्तश् च नरः ॥
apāyy asyāndhaso madāya manīṣiṇaḥ suvānasya prayasaḥ | yasminn indraḥ pradivi vāvṛdhāna oko dadhe brahmaṇyantaś ca naraḥ ||
Draughts of this sweet juice have been drunk for rapture, of the wise Soma-presser's offered dainty, Wherein, grown mighty in the days aforetime, Indra hath found delight, and men who worship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्य मन्दानो मध्वो वज्रहस्तो ऽहिम् इन्द्रो अर्णोवृतं वि वृश्चत् । प्र यद् वयो न स्वसराण्य् अच्छा प्रयांसि च नदीनां चक्रमन्त ॥
asya mandāno madhvo vajrahasto 'him indro arṇovṛtaṃ vi vṛścat | pra yad vayo na svasarāṇy acchā prayāṃsi ca nadīnāṃ cakramanta ||
Cheered by this meath Indra, whose hand wields thunder, rent piecemeal Ahi who barred up the waters, So that the quickening currents of the rivers flowed forth like birds unto their resting-places.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स माहिन इन्द्रो अर्णो अपाम् प्रैरयद् अहिहाच्छा समुद्रम् । अजनयत् सूर्यं विदद् गा अक्तुनाह्नां वयुनानि साधत् ॥
sa māhina indro arṇo apām prairayad ahihācchā samudram | ajanayat sūryaṃ vidad gā aktunāhnāṃ vayunāni sādhat ||
Indra, this Mighty One, the Dragon's slayer, sent forth the flood of waters to the ocean. He gave the Sun his life, he found the cattle, and with the night the works of days completed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सो अप्रतीनि मनवे पुरूणीन्द्रो दाशद् दाशुषे हन्ति वृत्रम् । सद्यो यो नृभ्यो अतसाय्यो भूत् पस्पृधानेभ्यः सूर्यस्य सातौ ॥
so apratīni manave purūṇīndro dāśad dāśuṣe hanti vṛtram | sadyo yo nṛbhyo atasāyyo bhūt paspṛdhānebhyaḥ sūryasya sātau ||
To him who worshippeth hath Indra given many and matchless gifts. He slayeth Vrtra. Straight was he to be sought with supplications by men who struggled to obtain the sunlight.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स सुन्वत इन्द्रः सूर्यम् आ देवो रिणङ् मर्त्याय स्तवान् । आ यद् रयिं गुहदवद्यम् अस्मै भरद् अंशं नैतशो दशस्यन् ॥
sa sunvata indraḥ sūryam ā devo riṇaṅ martyāya stavān | ā yad rayiṃ guhadavadyam asmai bharad aṃśaṃ naitaśo daśasyan ||
To him who poured him gifts he gave up Surya,-Indra, the God, the Mighty, to the mortal; For Etasa with worship brought him riches that keep distress afar, as 'twere his portion.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स रन्धयत् सदिवः सारथये शुष्णम् अशुषं कुयवं कुत्साय । दिवोदासाय नवतिं च नवेन्द्रः पुरो व्य् ऐरच् छम्बरस्य ॥
sa randhayat sadivaḥ sārathaye śuṣṇam aśuṣaṃ kuyavaṃ kutsāya | divodāsāya navatiṃ ca navendraḥ puro vy airac chambarasya ||
Once to the driver of his chariot, Kutsa, he gave up greedy Surya, plague of harvest; And Indra, for the sake of Divodasa demolished Sambara's nine-and-ninety castles.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा त इन्द्रोचथम् अहेम श्रवस्या न त्मना वाजयन्तः । अश्याम तत् साप्तम् आशुषाणा ननमो वधर् अदेवस्य पीयोः ॥
evā ta indrocatham ahema śravasyā na tmanā vājayantaḥ | aśyāma tat sāptam āśuṣāṇā nanamo vadhar adevasya pīyoḥ ||
So have we brought our hymn to thee, O Indra, strengthening thee and fain ourselves for glory. May we with best endeavours gain this friendship, and mayst thou bend the godless scorner's weapons.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा ते गृत्समदाः शूर मन्मावस्यवो न वयुनानि तक्षुः । ब्रह्मण्यन्त इन्द्र ते नवीय इषम् ऊर्जं सुक्षितिं सुम्नम् अश्युः ॥
evā te gṛtsamadāḥ śūra manmāvasyavo na vayunāni takṣuḥ | brahmaṇyanta indra te navīya iṣam ūrjaṃ sukṣitiṃ sumnam aśyuḥ ||
Thus the Grtsamadas for thee, O Hero, have wrought their hymn and task as seeking favour. May they who worship thee afresh, O Indra, gain food and strength, bliss, and a happy dwelling.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नूनं सा ते प्रति वरं जरित्रे दुहीयद् इन्द्र दक्षिणा मघोनी । शिक्षा स्तोतृभ्यो माति धग् भगो नो बृहद् वदेम विदथे सुवीराः ॥
nūnaṃ sā te prati varaṃ jaritre duhīyad indra dakṣiṇā maghonī | śikṣā stotṛbhyo māti dhag bhago no bṛhad vadema vidathe suvīrāḥ ||
Now may that wealthy Cow of thine, O Indra, give in return a boon to him who lauds thee, Give to thy praisers: let not fortune fail us. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
