Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.29
इन्द्रं वो नरः सख्याय सेपुर् महो यन्तः सुमतये चकानाः । महो हि दाता वज्रहस्तो अस्ति महाम् उ रण्वम् अवसे यजध्वम् ॥
indraṃ vo naraḥ sakhyāya sepur maho yantaḥ sumataye cakānāḥ | maho hi dātā vajrahasto asti mahām u raṇvam avase yajadhvam ||
Your men have followed Indra for his friendship, and for his loving-kindness glorified him. For he bestows great wealth, the Thunder-wielder: worship him, Great and Kind, to win his favour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ यस्मिन् हस्ते नर्या मिमिक्षुर् आ रथे हिरण्यये रथेष्ठाः । आ रश्मयो गभस्त्यो स्थूरयोर् आध्वन्न् अश्वासो वृषणो युजानाः ॥
ā yasmin haste naryā mimikṣur ā rathe hiraṇyaye ratheṣṭhāḥ | ā raśmayo gabhastyo sthūrayor ādhvann aśvāso vṛṣaṇo yujānāḥ ||
Him to whose hand, men closely cling, and drivers stand on his golden chariot firmly stationed. With his firm arms he holds the reins; his Horses, the Stallions, are yoked ready for the journey.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
श्रिये ते पादा दुव आ मिमिक्षुर् धृष्णुर् वज्री शवसा दक्षिणावान् । वसानो अत्कं सुरभिं दृशे कं स्वर् ण नृतव् इषिरो बभूथ ॥
śriye te pādā duva ā mimikṣur dhṛṣṇur vajrī śavasā dakṣiṇāvān | vasāno atkaṃ surabhiṃ dṛśe kaṃ svar ṇa nṛtav iṣiro babhūtha ||
Thy devotees embrace thy feet for glory. Bold, thunder-armed, rich, through thy strength, in guerdon, Robed in a garment fair as heaven to look on, thou hast displayed thee like an active dancer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स सोम आमिश्लतमः सुतो भूद् यस्मिन् पक्तिः पच्यते सन्ति धानाः । इन्द्रं नर स्तुवन्तो ब्रह्मकारा उक्था शंसन्तो देववाततमाः ॥
sa soma āmiślatamaḥ suto bhūd yasmin paktiḥ pacyate santi dhānāḥ | indraṃ nara stuvanto brahmakārā ukthā śaṃsanto devavātatamāḥ ||
That Soma when effused hath best consistence, for which the food is dressed and grain is mingled; By which the men who pray, extolling Indra chief favourites of Gods, recite their praises.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
न ते अन्तः शवसो धाय्य् अस्य वि तु बाबधे रोदसी महित्वा । आ ता सूरिः पृणति तूतुजानो यूथेवाप्सु समीजमान ऊती ॥
na te antaḥ śavaso dhāyy asya vi tu bābadhe rodasī mahitvā | ā tā sūriḥ pṛṇati tūtujāno yūthevāpsu samījamāna ūtī ||
No limit of thy might hath been appointed, which by its greatness sundered earth and heaven. These the Prince filleth full with strong endeavour, driving, as 'twere, with help his flocks to waters.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवेद् इन्द्रः सुहव ऋष्वो अस्तूती अनूती हिरिशिप्रः सत्वा । एवा हि जातो असमात्योजाः पुरू च वृत्रा हनति नि दस्यून् ॥
eved indraḥ suhava ṛṣvo astūtī anūtī hiriśipraḥ satvā | evā hi jāto asamātyojāḥ purū ca vṛtrā hanati ni dasyūn ||
So be the lofty Indra prompt to listen, Helper unaided, golden-visored Hero. Yea, so may he, shown forth in might unequalled, smite down the many Vrtras and the Dasyus.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
