Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.27

इन्द्रं नरो नेमधिता हवन्ते यत् पार्या युनजते धियस् ताः । शूरो नृषाता शवसश् चकान आ गोमति व्रजे भजा त्वं नः ॥

indraṃ naro nemadhitā havante yat pāryā yunajate dhiyas tāḥ | śūro nṛṣātā śavasaś cakāna ā gomati vraje bhajā tvaṃ naḥ ||

Men call on Indra in the armed encounter that he may make the hymns they sing decisive. Hero, rejoicing in thy might, in combat give us a portion of the stall of cattle,

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

य इन्द्र शुष्मो मघवन् ते अस्ति शिक्षा सखिभ्यः पुरुहूत नृभ्यः । त्वं हि दृळ्हा मघवन् विचेता अपा वृधि परिवृतं न राधः ॥

ya indra śuṣmo maghavan te asti śikṣā sakhibhyaḥ puruhūta nṛbhyaḥ | tvaṃ hi dṛḷhā maghavan vicetā apā vṛdhi parivṛtaṃ na rādhaḥ ||

Grant, Indra Maghavan, invoked of many, to these my friends the strength which thou possessest. Thou, Maghavan, hast rent strong places open: unclose for us, Wise God, thy hidden bounty.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इन्द्रो राजा जगतश् चर्षणीनाम् अधि क्षमि विषुरूपं यद् अस्ति । ततो ददाति दाशुषे वसूनि चोदद् राध उपस्तुतश् चिद् अर्वाक् ॥

indro rājā jagataś carṣaṇīnām adhi kṣami viṣurūpaṃ yad asti | tato dadāti dāśuṣe vasūni codad rādha upastutaś cid arvāk ||

King of the living world, of men, is Indra, of all in varied form that earth containeth. Thence to the worshipper he giveth riches: may he enrich us also when we laud him.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

नू चिन् न इन्द्रो मघवा सहूती दानो वाजं नि यमते न ऊती । अनूना यस्य दक्षिणा पीपाय वामं नृभ्यो अभिवीता सखिभ्यः ॥

nū cin na indro maghavā sahūtī dāno vājaṃ ni yamate na ūtī | anūnā yasya dakṣiṇā pīpāya vāmaṃ nṛbhyo abhivītā sakhibhyaḥ ||

Maghavan Indra, when we all invoke him, bountiful ever sendeth strength to aid us: Whose perfect guerdon, never failing, bringeth wealth to the men, to friends the thing they covet.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

नू इन्द्र राये वरिवस् कृधी न आ ते मनो ववृत्याम मघाय । गोमद् अश्वावद् रथवद् व्यन्तो यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

nū indra rāye varivas kṛdhī na ā te mano vavṛtyāma maghāya | gomad aśvāvad rathavad vyanto yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Quick, Indra, give us room and way to riches, and let us bring thy mind to grant us treasures, That we may win us cars and Steeds and cattle. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
