Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.33
महि महे तवसे दीध्ये नॄन् इन्द्रायेत्था तवसे अतव्यान् । यो अस्मै सुमतिं वाजसातौ स्तुतो जने समर्यश् चिकेत ॥
mahi mahe tavase dīdhye nṝn indrāyetthā tavase atavyān | yo asmai sumatiṃ vājasātau stuto jane samaryaś ciketa ||
Great praise to Indra, great and strong mid heroes, I ponder thus, the feeble to the Mighty, Who with his band shows favour to this people, when lauded, in the fight where spoil is gathered.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स त्वं न इन्द्र धियसानो अर्कैर् हरीणां वृषन् योक्त्रम् अश्रेः । या इत्था मघवन्न् अनु जोषं वक्षो अभि प्रार्यः सक्षि जनान् ॥
sa tvaṃ na indra dhiyasāno arkair harīṇāṃ vṛṣan yoktram aśreḥ | yā itthā maghavann anu joṣaṃ vakṣo abhi prāryaḥ sakṣi janān ||
So made attentive by our hymns, Steer! Indra! thou fastenedst the girth of thy Bay Coursers, Which, Maghavan, at thy will thou drivest hither. With these subdue for us the men who hate us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
न ते त इन्द्राभ्य् अस्मद् ऋष्वायुक्तासो अब्रह्मता यद् असन् । तिष्ठा रथम् अधि तं वज्रहस्ता रश्मिं देव यमसे स्वश्वः ॥
na te ta indrābhy asmad ṛṣvāyuktāso abrahmatā yad asan | tiṣṭhā ratham adhi taṃ vajrahastā raśmiṃ deva yamase svaśvaḥ ||
They were not turned to us-ward, lofty Indra! while yet through lack of prayer they stood unharnessed. Ascend this chariot, thou whose hand wields thunder, and draw the rein, O Lord of noble horses.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पुरू यत् त इन्द्र सन्त्य् उक्था गवे चकर्थोर्वरासु युध्यन् । ततक्षे सूर्याय चिद् ओकसि स्वे वृषा समत्सु दासस्य नाम चित् ॥
purū yat ta indra santy ukthā gave cakarthorvarāsu yudhyan | tatakṣe sūryāya cid okasi sve vṛṣā samatsu dāsasya nāma cit ||
Thou, because many lauds are thine, O Indra, wast active warring in the fields for cattle. For Surya in his own abode thou, Hero, formedst in fights even a Dasa's nature.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वयं ते त इन्द्र ये च नरः शर्धो जज्ञाना याताश् च रथाः । आस्माञ् जगम्याद् अहिशुष्म सत्वा भगो न हव्यः प्रभृथेषु चारुः ॥
vayaṃ te ta indra ye ca naraḥ śardho jajñānā yātāś ca rathāḥ | āsmāñ jagamyād ahiśuṣma satvā bhago na havyaḥ prabhṛtheṣu cāruḥ ||
Thine are we, Indra; thine are all these people, conscious of might, whose cars are set in motion. Some hero come to us, O Strong as Ahi beauteous in war, to be invoked like Bhaga.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पपृक्षेण्यम् इन्द्र त्वे ह्य् ओजो नृम्णानि च नृतमानो अमर्तः । स न एनीं वसवानो रयिं दाः प्रार्य स्तुषे तुविमघस्य दानम् ॥
papṛkṣeṇyam indra tve hy ojo nṛmṇāni ca nṛtamāno amartaḥ | sa na enīṃ vasavāno rayiṃ dāḥ prārya stuṣe tuvimaghasya dānam ||
Strength much to be desired is in thee, Indra: the Immortal dances forth his hero exploits. Such, Lord of Treasure, give us splendid riches. I praise the Friend's gift, his whose wealth is mighty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा न इन्द्रोतिभिर् अव पाहि गृणतः शूर कारून् । उत त्वचं ददतो वाजसातौ पिप्रीहि मध्वः सुषुतस्य चारोः ॥
evā na indrotibhir ava pāhi gṛṇataḥ śūra kārūn | uta tvacaṃ dadato vājasātau piprīhi madhvaḥ suṣutasya cāroḥ ||
Thus favour us, O Indra, with thy succour; Hero, protect the bards who sing thy praises. Be friendly in the fray to those who offer the skin of beautiful and well-pressed Soma.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत त्ये मा पौरुकुत्स्यस्य सूरेस् त्रसदस्योर् हिरणिनो रराणाः । वहन्तु मा दश श्येतासो अस्य गैरिक्षितस्य क्रतुभिर् नु सश्चे ॥
uta tye mā paurukutsyasya sūres trasadasyor hiraṇino rarāṇāḥ | vahantu mā daśa śyetāso asya gairikṣitasya kratubhir nu saśce ||
And these ten steeds which Trasadasyu gives me, the gold rich chief, the son of Purukutsa, Resplendent in their brightness shall convey me. Gairiksita willed it and so came I hither.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत त्ये मा मारुताश्वस्य शोणाः क्रत्वामघासो विदथस्य रातौ । सहस्रा मे च्यवतानो ददान आनूकम् अर्यो वपुषे नार्चत् ॥
uta tye mā mārutāśvasya śoṇāḥ kratvāmaghāso vidathasya rātau | sahasrā me cyavatāno dadāna ānūkam aryo vapuṣe nārcat ||
And these, bestowed as sacrificial guerdon, the powerful tawny steeds of Marutasva; And thousands which kind Cyavatana gave me, abundantly bestowed for my adornment.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत त्ये मा ध्वन्यस्य जुष्टा लक्ष्मण्यस्य सुरुचो यतानाः । मह्ना रायः संवरणस्य ऋषेर् व्रजं न गावः प्रयता अपि ग्मन् ॥
uta tye mā dhvanyasya juṣṭā lakṣmaṇyasya suruco yatānāḥ | mahnā rāyaḥ saṃvaraṇasya ṛṣer vrajaṃ na gāvaḥ prayatā api gman ||
And these commended horses, bright and active, by Dhvanya son of Laksmana presented, Came unto me, as cows into the Rsi Samvarana's stall, with magnitude of riches.
