Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.33

य ओजिष्ठ इन्द्र तं सु नो दा मदो वृषन् स्वभिष्टिर् दास्वान् । सौवश्व्यं यो वनवत् स्वश्वो वृत्रा समत्सु सासहद् अमित्रान् ॥

ya ojiṣṭha indra taṃ su no dā mado vṛṣan svabhiṣṭir dāsvān | sauvaśvyaṃ yo vanavat svaśvo vṛtrā samatsu sāsahad amitrān ||

Give us the rapture that is mightiest, Indra, prompt to bestow and swift to aid, O Hero, That wins with brave steeds where brave steeds encounter, and quells the Vrtras and the foes in battle.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वां हीन्द्रावसे विवाचो हवन्ते चर्षणयः शूरसातौ । त्वं विप्रेभिर् वि पणींर् अशायस् त्वोत इत् सनिता वाजम् अर्वा ॥

tvāṃ hīndrāvase vivāco havante carṣaṇayaḥ śūrasātau | tvaṃ viprebhir vi paṇīṃr aśāyas tvota it sanitā vājam arvā ||

For with loud voice the tribes invoke thee, Indra, to aid them in the battlefield of heroes. Thou, with the singers, hast pierced through the Panis: the charger whom thou aidest wins the booty.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वं तां इन्द्रोभयां अमित्रान् दासा वृत्राण्य् आर्या च शूर । वधीर् वनेव सुधितेभिर् अत्कैर् आ पृत्सु दर्षि नृणां नृतम ॥

tvaṃ tāṃ indrobhayāṃ amitrān dāsā vṛtrāṇy āryā ca śūra | vadhīr vaneva sudhitebhir atkair ā pṛtsu darṣi nṛṇāṃ nṛtama ||

Both races, Indra, of opposing foemen, O Hero, both the Arya and the Dasa, Hast thou struck down like woods with well-shot lightnings: thou rentest them in fight, most manly Chieftain!

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

स त्वं न इन्द्राकवाभिर् ऊती सखा विश्वायुर् अविता वृधे भूः । स्वर्षाता यद् ध्वयामसि त्वा युध्यन्तो नेमधिता पृत्सु शूर ॥

sa tvaṃ na indrākavābhir ūtī sakhā viśvāyur avitā vṛdhe bhūḥ | svarṣātā yad dhvayāmasi tvā yudhyanto nemadhitā pṛtsu śūra ||

Indra, befriend us with no scanty succour, prosper and aid us, Loved of all that liveth, When, fighting for the sunlight, we invoke thee, O Hero, in the fray, in war's division.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

नूनं न इन्द्रापराय च स्या भवा मृळीक उत नो अभिष्टौ । इत्था गृणन्तो महिनस्य शर्मन् दिवि ष्याम पार्ये गोषतमाः ॥

nūnaṃ na indrāparāya ca syā bhavā mṛḷīka uta no abhiṣṭau | itthā gṛṇanto mahinasya śarman divi ṣyāma pārye goṣatamāḥ ||

Be ours, O Indra, now and for the future, be graciously inclined and near to help us. Thus may we, singing, sheltered by the Mighty, win many cattle on the day of trial.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
