Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.45
आ मन्द्रैर् इन्द्र हरिभिर् याहि मयूररोमभिः । मा त्वा के चिन् नि यमन् विं न पाशिनो ऽति धन्वेव तां इहि ॥
ā mandrair indra haribhir yāhi mayūraromabhiḥ | mā tvā ke cin ni yaman viṃ na pāśino 'ti dhanveva tāṃ ihi ||
Come hither, Indra, with Bay Steeds, joyous, with tails like peacocks' plumes. Let no men cheek thy course as fowlers stay the bird: pass o'er them as o'er desert lands.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वृत्रखादो वलंरुजः पुरां दर्मो अपाम् अजः । स्थाता रथस्य हर्योर् अभिस्वर इन्द्रो दृळ्हा चिद् आरुजः ॥
vṛtrakhādo valaṃrujaḥ purāṃ darmo apām ajaḥ | sthātā rathasya haryor abhisvara indro dṛḷhā cid ārujaḥ ||
He who slew Vrtra, burst the cloud, brake the strongholds and drave the floods, Indra who mounts his chariot at his Bay Steeds' cry, shatters e'en things that stand most firm.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
गम्भीरां उदधींर् इव क्रतुम् पुष्यसि गा इव । प्र सुगोपा यवसं धेनवो यथा ह्रदं कुल्या इवाशत ॥
gambhīrāṃ udadhīṃr iva kratum puṣyasi gā iva | pra sugopā yavasaṃ dhenavo yathā hradaṃ kulyā ivāśata ||
Like pools of water deep and full, like kine thou cherishest thy might; Like the milch-cows that go well-guarded to the mead, like water-brooks that reach the lake.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ नस् तुजं रयिम् भरांशं न प्रतिजानते । वृक्षम् पक्वम् फलम् अङ्कीव धूनुहीन्द्र सम्पारणं वसु ॥
ā nas tujaṃ rayim bharāṃśaṃ na pratijānate | vṛkṣam pakvam phalam aṅkīva dhūnuhīndra sampāraṇaṃ vasu ||
Bring thou us wealth with power to strike, our share, 'gainst him who calls it his. Shake, Indra, as with hooks, the tree for ripened fruit, for wealth to satisfy our wish.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स्वयुर् इन्द्र स्वराळ् असि स्मद्दिष्टिः स्वयशस्तरः । स वावृधान ओजसा पुरुष्टुत भवा नः सुश्रवस्तमः ॥
svayur indra svarāḷ asi smaddiṣṭiḥ svayaśastaraḥ | sa vāvṛdhāna ojasā puruṣṭuta bhavā naḥ suśravastamaḥ ||
Indra, self-ruling Lord art thou, good Leader, of most glorious fame. So, waxen in thy strength, O thou whom many praise, be thou most swift to hear our call.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
