Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.39
इन्द्रम् मतिर् हृद आ वच्यमानाच्छा पतिं स्तोमतष्टा जिगाति । या जागृविर् विदथे शस्यमानेन्द्र यत् ते जायते विद्धि तस्य ॥
indram matir hṛda ā vacyamānācchā patiṃ stomataṣṭā jigāti | yā jāgṛvir vidathe śasyamānendra yat te jāyate viddhi tasya ||
To Indra from the heart the hymn proceedeth, to him the Lord, recited, built with praises; The wakening song sung forth in holy synod: that which is born for thee, O Indra, notice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दिवश् चिद् आ पूर्व्या जायमाना वि जागृविर् विदथे शस्यमाना । भद्रा वस्त्राण्य् अर्जुना वसाना सेयम् अस्मे सनजा पित्र्या धीः ॥
divaś cid ā pūrvyā jāyamānā vi jāgṛvir vidathe śasyamānā | bhadrā vastrāṇy arjunā vasānā seyam asme sanajā pitryā dhīḥ ||
Born from the heaven e'en in the days aforetime, wakening, sting aloud in holy synod, Auspicious, clad in white and shining raiment, this is the ancient hymn of our forefathers.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यमा चिद् अत्र यमसूर् असूत जिह्वाया अग्रम् पतद् आ ह्य् अस्थात् । वपूंषि जाता मिथुना सचेते तमोहना तपुषो बुध्न एता ॥
yamā cid atra yamasūr asūta jihvāyā agram patad ā hy asthāt | vapūṃṣi jātā mithunā sacete tamohanā tapuṣo budhna etā ||
The Mother of the Twins hath borne Twin Children: my tongue's tip raised itself and rested silent. Killing the darkness at the light's foundation, the Couple newly born attain their beauty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नकिर् एषां निन्दिता मर्त्येषु ये अस्माकम् पितरो गोषु योधाः । इन्द्र एषां दृंहिता माहिनावान् उद् गोत्राणि ससृजे दंसनावान् ॥
nakir eṣāṃ ninditā martyeṣu ye asmākam pitaro goṣu yodhāḥ | indra eṣāṃ dṛṃhitā māhināvān ud gotrāṇi sasṛje daṃsanāvān ||
Not one is found among them, none of mortals, to blame our sires who fought to win the cattle. Their strengthener was Indra the Majestic he spread their stalls of kine the Wonder-Worker.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सखा ह यत्र सखिभिर् नवग्वैर् अभिज्ञ्व् आ सत्वभिर् गा अनुग्मन् । सत्यं तद् इन्द्रो दशभिर् दशग्वैः सूर्यं विवेद तमसि क्षियन्तम् ॥
sakhā ha yatra sakhibhir navagvair abhijñv ā satvabhir gā anugman | satyaṃ tad indro daśabhir daśagvaiḥ sūryaṃ viveda tamasi kṣiyantam ||
Where as a Friend with friendly men, Navagvas, with heroes, on his knees he sought the cattle. There, verily with ten Dasagvas Indra found the Sun lying hidden in the darkness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्द्रो मधु सम्भृतम् उस्रियायाम् पद्वद् विवेद शफवन् नमे गोः । गुहा हितं गुह्यं गूळ्हम् अप्सु हस्ते दधे दक्षिणे दक्षिणावान् ॥
indro madhu sambhṛtam usriyāyām padvad viveda śaphavan name goḥ | guhā hitaṃ guhyaṃ gūḷham apsu haste dadhe dakṣiṇe dakṣiṇāvān ||
Indra found meath collected in the milch-cow, by foot and hoof, in the cow's place of pasture. That which lay secret, hidden in the waters, he held in his right hand, the rich rewarder.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ज्योतिर् वृणीत तमसो विजानन्न् आरे स्याम दुरिताद् अभीके । इमा गिरः सोमपाः सोमवृद्ध जुषस्वेन्द्र पुरुतमस्य कारोः ॥
jyotir vṛṇīta tamaso vijānann āre syāma duritād abhīke | imā giraḥ somapāḥ somavṛddha juṣasvendra purutamasya kāroḥ ||
He took the light, discerning it from darkness: may we be far removed from all misfortune. These songs, O Soma-drinker, cheered by Soma, Indra, accept from thy most zealous poet.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ज्योतिर् यज्ञाय रोदसी अनु ष्याद् आरे स्याम दुरितस्य भूरेः । भूरि चिद् धि तुजतो मर्त्यस्य सुपारासो वसवो बर्हणावत् ॥
jyotir yajñāya rodasī anu ṣyād āre syāma duritasya bhūreḥ | bhūri cid dhi tujato martyasya supārāso vasavo barhaṇāvat ||
Let there be light through both the worlds for worship: may we be far from most overwhelming evil. Great woe comes even from the hostile mortal, piled up; but good at rescue are the Vasus.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शुनं हुवेम मघवानम् इन्द्रम् अस्मिन् भरे नृतमं वाजसातौ । शृण्वन्तम् उग्रम् ऊतये समत्सु घ्नन्तं वृत्राणि संजितं धनानाम् ॥
śunaṃ huvema maghavānam indram asmin bhare nṛtamaṃ vājasātau | śṛṇvantam ugram ūtaye samatsu ghnantaṃ vṛtrāṇi saṃjitaṃ dhanānām ||
Call we on Maghavan, auspicious Indra, best Hero in the fight where spoil is gathered, The Strong, who listens, who gives aid in battles, who slays the Vrtras, wins and gathers riches.
