Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.36

सत्रा मदासस् तव विश्वजन्याः सत्रा रायो ऽध ये पार्थिवासः । सत्रा वाजानाम् अभवो विभक्ता यद् देवेषु धारयथा असुर्यम् ॥

satrā madāsas tava viśvajanyāḥ satrā rāyo 'dha ye pārthivāsaḥ | satrā vājānām abhavo vibhaktā yad deveṣu dhārayathā asuryam ||

Thy raptures ever were for all men's profit: so evermore have been thine earthly riches. Thou still hast been the dealer-forth of vigour, since among Gods thou hast had power and Godhead.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अनु प्र येजे जन ओजो अस्य सत्रा दधिरे अनु वीर्याय । स्यूमगृभे दुधये ऽर्वते च क्रतुं वृञ्जन्त्य् अपि वृत्रहत्ये ॥

anu pra yeje jana ojo asya satrā dadhire anu vīryāya | syūmagṛbhe dudhaye 'rvate ca kratuṃ vṛñjanty api vṛtrahatye ||

Men have obtained his strength by sacrificing, and ever urged him, on to hero valour. For the rein-seizing, the impetuous Charger they furnished power even for Vrtra's slaughter.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

तं सध्रीचीर् ऊतयो वृष्ण्यानि पौंस्यानि नियुतः सश्चुर् इन्द्रम् । समुद्रं न सिन्धव उक्थशुष्मा उरुव्यचसं गिर आ विशन्ति ॥

taṃ sadhrīcīr ūtayo vṛṣṇyāni pauṃsyāni niyutaḥ saścur indram | samudraṃ na sindhava ukthaśuṣmā uruvyacasaṃ gira ā viśanti ||

Associate with him, as teams of horses, help, manly might, and vigour follow Indra. As rivers reach the sea, so, strong with praises, our holy songs reach him the Comprehensive.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

स रायस् खाम् उप सृजा गृणानः पुरुश्चन्द्रस्य त्वम् इन्द्र वस्वः । पतिर् बभूथासमो जनानाम् एको विश्वस्य भुवनस्य राजा ॥

sa rāyas khām upa sṛjā gṛṇānaḥ puruścandrasya tvam indra vasvaḥ | patir babhūthāsamo janānām eko viśvasya bhuvanasya rājā ||

Lauded by us, let flow the spring, O Indra, of excellent and brightly-shining riches. For thou art Lord of men, without an equal: of all the world thou art the only Sovran.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

स तु श्रुधि श्रुत्या यो दुवोयुर् द्यौर् न भूमाभि रायो अर्यः । असो यथा नः शवसा चकानो युगे-युगे वयसा चेकितानः ॥

sa tu śrudhi śrutyā yo duvoyur dyaur na bhūmābhi rāyo aryaḥ | aso yathā naḥ śavasā cakāno yuge-yuge vayasā cekitānaḥ ||

Hear what thou mayst hear, thou who, fain for worship, as heaven girds earth, guardest thy servant's treasure; Tlat thou mayst be our own, joying in power, famed through thy might in every generation.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
