RV 2.22.1

त्रिकद्रुकेषु महिषो यवाशिरं तुविशुष्मस् तृपत् सोमम् अपिबद् विष्णुना सुतं यथावशत् । स ईम् ममाद महि कर्म कर्तवे महाम् उरुं सैनं सश्चद् देवो देवं सत्यम् इन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः ॥

trikadrukeṣu mahiṣo yavāśiraṃ tuviśuṣmas tṛpat somam apibad viṣṇunā sutaṃ yathāvaśat | sa īm mamāda mahi karma kartave mahām uruṃ sainaṃ saścad devo devaṃ satyam indraṃ satya induḥ ||

At the Trikadrukas the Great and Strong hath drunk drink blent with meal. With Visnu hath he quaffed the poured out Soma juice, all that he would. That hath so heightened him the Great, the Wide, to do his mighty work. So may the God attain the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 2.22.2

अध त्विषीमां अभ्य् ओजसा क्रिविं युधाभवद् आ रोदसी अपृणद् अस्य मज्मना प्र वावृधे । अधत्तान्यं जठरे प्रेम् अरिच्यत सैनं सश्चद् देवो देवं सत्यम् इन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः ॥

adha tviṣīmāṃ abhy ojasā kriviṃ yudhābhavad ā rodasī apṛṇad asya majmanā pra vāvṛdhe | adhattānyaṃ jaṭhare prem aricyata sainaṃ saścad devo devaṃ satyam indraṃ satya induḥ ||

So he resplendent in the battle overcame Krivi by might. He with his majesty hath filled the earth and heaven, and waxen strong. One share of the libation hath he swallowed down: one share he left. So may the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 2.22.3

साकं जातः क्रतुना साकम् ओजसा ववक्षिथ साकं वृद्धो वीर्यैः सासहिर् मृधो विचर्षणिः । दाता राध स्तुवते काम्यं वसु सैनं सश्चद् देवो देवं सत्यम् इन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः ॥

sākaṃ jātaḥ kratunā sākam ojasā vavakṣitha sākaṃ vṛddho vīryaiḥ sāsahir mṛdho vicarṣaṇiḥ | dātā rādha stuvate kāmyaṃ vasu sainaṃ saścad devo devaṃ satyam indraṃ satya induḥ ||

Brought forth together with wisdom and mighty power thou grewest great; with hero deeds subduing the malevolent, most swift in act; Giving prosperity, and lovely wealth to him who praiseth thee. So may the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 2.22.4

तव त्यन् नर्यं नृतो ऽप इन्द्र प्रथमम् पूर्व्यं दिवि प्रवाच्यं कृतम् । यद् देवस्य शवसा प्रारिणा असुं रिणन्न् अपः । भुवद् विश्वम् अभ्य् आदेवम् ओजसा विदाद् ऊर्जं शतक्रतुर् विदाद् इषम् ॥

tava tyan naryaṃ nṛto 'pa indra prathamam pūrvyaṃ divi pravācyaṃ kṛtam | yad devasya śavasā prāriṇā asuṃ riṇann apaḥ | bhuvad viśvam abhy ādevam ojasā vidād ūrjaṃ śatakratur vidād iṣam ||

This, Indra, was thy hero deed, Dancer, thy first and ancient work, worthy to be told forth in heaven, What time thou sentest down life with a God's own power, freeing the floods. All that is godless may he conquer with his might, and, Lord of Hundred Powers, find for us strength and food.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
