Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.49
शंसा महाम् इन्द्रं यस्मिन् विश्वा आ कृष्टयः सोमपाः कामम् अव्यन् । यं सुक्रतुं धिषणे विभ्वतष्टं घनं वृत्राणां जनयन्त देवाः ॥
śaṃsā mahām indraṃ yasmin viśvā ā kṛṣṭayaḥ somapāḥ kāmam avyan | yaṃ sukratuṃ dhiṣaṇe vibhvataṣṭaṃ ghanaṃ vṛtrāṇāṃ janayanta devāḥ ||
Great Indra will I laud, in whom all people who drink the Soma have attained their longing; Whom, passing wise, Gods, Heaven and Earth, engendered, formed by a Master's hand, to crush the Vrtras.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यं नु नकिः पृतनासु स्वराजं द्विता तरति नृतमं हरिष्ठाम् । इनतमः सत्वभिर् यो ह शूषैः पृथुज्रया अमिनाद् आयुर् दस्योः ॥
yaṃ nu nakiḥ pṛtanāsu svarājaṃ dvitā tarati nṛtamaṃ hariṣṭhām | inatamaḥ satvabhir yo ha śūṣaiḥ pṛthujrayā aminād āyur dasyoḥ ||
Whom, most heroic, borne by Tawny Coursers, verily none subdueth in the battle; Who, reaching far, most vigorous, hath shortened the Dasyu's life with Warriors bold of spirit.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सहावा पृत्सु तरणिर् नार्वा व्यानशी रोदसी मेहनावान् । भगो न कारे हव्यो मतीनाम् पितेव चारुः सुहवो वयोधाः ॥
sahāvā pṛtsu taraṇir nārvā vyānaśī rodasī mehanāvān | bhago na kāre havyo matīnām piteva cāruḥ suhavo vayodhāḥ ||
Victor in fight, swift mover like a warhorse, pervading both worlds, rainer down of blessings, To be invoked in war like Bhaga, Father, as 'twere, of hymns, fair, prompt to hear, strength-giver.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
धर्ता दिवो रजसस् पृष्ट ऊर्ध्वो रथो न वायुर् वसुभिर् नियुत्वान् । क्षपां वस्ता जनिता सूर्यस्य विभक्ता भागं धिषणेव वाजम् ॥
dhartā divo rajasas pṛṣṭa ūrdhvo ratho na vāyur vasubhir niyutvān | kṣapāṃ vastā janitā sūryasya vibhaktā bhāgaṃ dhiṣaṇeva vājam ||
Supporting heaven, the high back of the region, his car is Vayu with his team of Vasus. Illumining the nights, the Sun's creator, like Dhisana he deals forth strength and riches.
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 treasure.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
