Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.26

न सोम इन्द्रम् असुतो ममाद नाब्रह्माणो मघवानं सुतासः । तस्मा उक्थं जनये यज् जुजोषन् नृवन् नवीयः शृणवद् यथा नः ॥

na soma indram asuto mamāda nābrahmāṇo maghavānaṃ sutāsaḥ | tasmā ukthaṃ janaye yaj jujoṣan nṛvan navīyaḥ śṛṇavad yathā naḥ ||

Soma unpressed ne'er gladdened liberal Indra, no juices pressed without a prayer have pleased him. I generate a laud that shall delight him, new and heroic, so that he may hear us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

उक्थ-उक्थे सोम इन्द्रम् ममाद नीथे-नीथे मघवानं सुतासः । यद् ईं सबाधः पितरं न पुत्राः समानदक्षा अवसे हवन्ते ॥

uktha-ukthe soma indram mamāda nīthe-nīthe maghavānaṃ sutāsaḥ | yad īṃ sabādhaḥ pitaraṃ na putrāḥ samānadakṣā avase havante ||

At every laud the Soma gladdens Indra: pressed juices please him as each psalm is chanted, What time the priests with one united effort call him to aid, as sons invoke their father.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

चकार ता कृणवन् नूनम् अन्या यानि ब्रुवन्ति वेधसः सुतेषु । जनीर् इव पतिर् एकः समानो नि मामृजे पुर इन्द्रः सु सर्वाः ॥

cakāra tā kṛṇavan nūnam anyā yāni bruvanti vedhasaḥ suteṣu | janīr iva patir ekaḥ samāno ni māmṛje pura indraḥ su sarvāḥ ||

These deeds he did; let him achieve new exploits, such as the priests declare at their libations. Indra hath taken and possessed all castles, like as one common husband doth his spouses.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एवा तम् आहुर् उत शृण्व इन्द्र एको विभक्ता तरणिर् मघानाम् । मिथस्तुर ऊतयो यस्य पूर्वीर् अस्मे भद्राणि सश्चत प्रियाणि ॥

evā tam āhur uta śṛṇva indra eko vibhaktā taraṇir maghānām | mithastura ūtayo yasya pūrvīr asme bhadrāṇi saścata priyāṇi ||

Even thus have they declared him. Famed is Indra as Conqueror, sole distributer of treasures; Whose many succours come in close succession. May dear delightful benefits attend us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एवा वसिष्ठ इन्द्रम् ऊतये नॄन् कृष्टीनां वृषभं सुते गृणाति । सहस्रिण उप नो माहि वाजान् यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

evā vasiṣṭha indram ūtaye nṝn kṛṣṭīnāṃ vṛṣabhaṃ sute gṛṇāti | sahasriṇa upa no māhi vājān yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Thus, to bring help to men, Vasistha laudeth Indra, the peoples' Hero, at libation. Bestow upon us strength and wealth in thousands. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
