Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.20

द्यौर् न य इन्द्राभि भूमार्यस् तस्थौ रयिः शवसा पृत्सु जनान् । तं नः सहस्रभरम् उर्वरासां दद्धि सूनो सहसो वृत्रतुरम् ॥

dyaur na ya indrābhi bhūmāryas tasthau rayiḥ śavasā pṛtsu janān | taṃ naḥ sahasrabharam urvarāsāṃ daddhi sūno sahaso vṛtraturam ||

Give us wealth, Indra, that with might, as heaven o'ertops the earth, o'ercomes our foes in battle Wealth that brings thousands and that wins the corn-lands, wealth, Son of Strength! that vanquishes the foeman.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

दिवो न तुभ्यम् अन्व् इन्द्र सत्रासुर्यं देवेभिर् धायि विश्वम् । अहिं यद् वृत्रम् अपो वव्रिवांसं हन्न् ऋजीषिन् विष्णुना सचानः ॥

divo na tubhyam anv indra satrāsuryaṃ devebhir dhāyi viśvam | ahiṃ yad vṛtram apo vavrivāṃsaṃ hann ṛjīṣin viṣṇunā sacānaḥ ||

Even as the power of Dyaus, to thee, O Indra, all Asura sway was by the Gods entrusted, When thou, Impetuous! leagued with Visnu, slewest Vrtra the Dragon who enclosed the waters.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

तूर्वन्न् ओजीयान् तवसस् तवीयान् कृतब्रह्मेन्द्रो वृद्धमहाः । राजाभवन् मधुनः सोम्यस्य विश्वासां यत् पुरां दर्त्नुम् आवत् ॥

tūrvann ojīyān tavasas tavīyān kṛtabrahmendro vṛddhamahāḥ | rājābhavan madhunaḥ somyasya viśvāsāṃ yat purāṃ dartnum āvat ||

Indra, Strong, Victor, Mightier than the mighty, addressed with prayer and perfect in his splendour, Lord of the bolt that breaketh forts in pieces, became the King of the sweet juice of Soma..

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

शतैर् अपद्रन् पणय इन्द्रात्र दशोणये कवये ऽर्कसातौ । वधैः शुष्णस्याशुषस्य मायाः पित्वो नारिरेचीत् किं चन प्र ॥

śatair apadran paṇaya indrātra daśoṇaye kavaye 'rkasātau | vadhaiḥ śuṣṇasyāśuṣasya māyāḥ pitvo nārirecīt kiṃ cana pra ||

There, Indra, while the light was won, the Panis f1ed, 'neath a hundred blows, for wise Dasoni, And greedy Susna's magical devices nor left he any of their food remaining.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

महो द्रुहो अप विश्वायु धायि वज्रस्य यत् पतने पादि शुष्णः । उरु ष सरथं सारथये कर् इन्द्रः कुत्साय सूर्यस्य सातौ ॥

maho druho apa viśvāyu dhāyi vajrasya yat patane pādi śuṣṇaḥ | uru ṣa sarathaṃ sārathaye kar indraḥ kutsāya sūryasya sātau ||

What time the thunder fell and Susna perished, all life's support from the great Druh was taken. Indra made room for his car-drivcr Kutsa who sate beside him, when he gained the sunlight.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

प्र श्येनो न मदिरम् अंशुम् अस्मै शिरो दासस्य नमुचेर् मथायन् । प्रावन् नमीं साप्यं ससन्तम् पृणग् राया सम् इषा सं स्वस्ति ॥

pra śyeno na madiram aṃśum asmai śiro dāsasya namucer mathāyan | prāvan namīṃ sāpyaṃ sasantam pṛṇag rāyā sam iṣā saṃ svasti ||

As the Hawk rent for him the stalk that gladdens, he wrenched the head from Namuci the Dasa. He guarded Nam, Sayya's son, in slumber, and sated him with food, success, and riches.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वि पिप्रोर् अहिमायस्य दृळ्हाः पुरो वज्रिञ् छवसा न दर्दः । सुदामन् तद् रेक्णो अप्रमृष्यम् ऋजिश्वने दात्रं दाशुषे दाः ॥

vi pipror ahimāyasya dṛḷhāḥ puro vajriñ chavasā na dardaḥ | sudāman tad rekṇo apramṛṣyam ṛjiśvane dātraṃ dāśuṣe dāḥ ||

Thou, thunder-armed, with thy great might hast shattered Pipru's strong forts who knew the wiles of serpents. Thou gavest to thy worshipper Rjisvan imperishable Wealth, O Bounteous Giver.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

स वेतसुं दशमायं दशोणिं तूतुजिम् इन्द्रः स्वभिष्टिसुम्नः । आ तुग्रं शश्वद् इभं द्योतनाय मातुर् न सीम् उप सृजा इयध्यै ॥

sa vetasuṃ daśamāyaṃ daśoṇiṃ tūtujim indraḥ svabhiṣṭisumnaḥ | ā tugraṃ śaśvad ibhaṃ dyotanāya mātur na sīm upa sṛjā iyadhyai ||

The crafty Vetasu, the swift Dasni, and Tugra speedily with all his servants, Hath Indra, gladdening with strong assistance, forced near as 'twere to glorify the Mother.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

स ईं स्पृधो वनते अप्रतीतो बिभ्रद् वज्रं वृत्रहणं गभस्तौ । तिष्ठद् धरी अध्य् अस्तेव गर्ते वचोयुजा वहत इन्द्रम् ऋष्वम् ॥

sa īṃ spṛdho vanate apratīto bibhrad vajraṃ vṛtrahaṇaṃ gabhastau | tiṣṭhad dharī adhy asteva garte vacoyujā vahata indram ṛṣvam ||

Resistless, with the hosts he battles, bearing in both his arms the Vrtra-slaying thunder. He mounts his Bays, as the car-seat an archer: yoked at a word they bear the lofty Indra.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

सनेम ते ऽवसा नव्य इन्द्र प्र पूरव स्तवन्त एना यज्ञैः । सप्त यत् पुरः शर्म शारदीर् दर्द् धन् दासीः पुरुकुत्साय शिक्षन् ॥

sanema te 'vasā navya indra pra pūrava stavanta enā yajñaiḥ | sapta yat puraḥ śarma śāradīr dard dhan dāsīḥ purukutsāya śikṣan ||

May we, O Indra, gain by thy new favour: so Parus laud thee, with their sacrifices, That thou hast wrecked seven autumn forts, their shelter, slain Dasa tribes and aided Purukutsa.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वं वृध इन्द्र पूर्व्यो भूर् वरिवस्यन्न् उशने काव्याय । परा नववास्त्वम् अनुदेयम् महे पित्रे ददाथ स्वं नपातम् ॥

tvaṃ vṛdha indra pūrvyo bhūr varivasyann uśane kāvyāya | parā navavāstvam anudeyam mahe pitre dadātha svaṃ napātam ||

Favouring Usana the son of Kavi, thou wast his ancient strengthener, O Indra. Thou gavest Navavastva. as a present, to the great father gavest back his grandson.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वं धुनिर् इन्द्र धुनिमतीर् ऋणोर् अपः सीरा न स्रवन्तीः । प्र यत् समुद्रम् अति शूर पर्षि पारया तुर्वशं यदुं स्वस्ति ॥

tvaṃ dhunir indra dhunimatīr ṛṇor apaḥ sīrā na sravantīḥ | pra yat samudram ati śūra parṣi pārayā turvaśaṃ yaduṃ svasti ||

Thou, roaring Indra, drovest on the waters that made a roaring sound like rushing rivers, What time, O Hero, o'er the sea thou broughtest, in safety broughtest Turvasa and Yadu.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

तव ह त्यद् इन्द्र विश्वम् आजौ सस्तो धुनीचुमुरी या ह सिष्वप् । दीदयद् इत् तुभ्यं सोमेभिः सुन्वन् दभीतिर् इध्मभृतिः पक्थ्य् अर्कैः ॥

tava ha tyad indra viśvam ājau sasto dhunīcumurī yā ha siṣvap | dīdayad it tubhyaṃ somebhiḥ sunvan dabhītir idhmabhṛtiḥ pakthy arkaiḥ ||

This Indra, was thy work in war: thou sentest Dhuni and Cumuri to sleep and slumber. Dabhiti lit the flame for thee, and worshipped with fuel, hymns, poured Soma, dressed oblations.
