Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.32

मो षु त्वा वाघतश् चनारे अस्मन् नि रीरमन् । आरात्ताच् चित् सधमादं न आ गहीह वा सन्न् उप श्रुधि ॥

mo ṣu tvā vāghataś canāre asman ni rīraman | ārāttāc cit sadhamādaṃ na ā gahīha vā sann upa śrudhi ||

Let none, no, not thy worshippers, delay thee far away from us. Even from far away come thou unto our feast, or listen if already here.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इमे हि ते ब्रह्मकृतः सुते सचा मधौ न मक्ष आसते । इन्द्रे कामं जरितारो वसूयवो रथे न पादम् आ दधुः ॥

ime hi te brahmakṛtaḥ sute sacā madhau na makṣa āsate | indre kāmaṃ jaritāro vasūyavo rathe na pādam ā dadhuḥ ||

For here, like flies on honey, these who pray to thee sit by the juice that they have poured. Wealth-craving singers have on Indra set their hope, as men set foot upon a car.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

रायस्कामो वज्रहस्तं सुदक्षिणम् पुत्रो न पितरं हुवे ॥

rāyaskāmo vajrahastaṃ sudakṣiṇam putro na pitaraṃ huve ||

Longing for wealth I call on him, the Thunderer with the strong right hand, As a son calleth on his sire.

ima indrāya sunvire somāso dadhyāśiraḥ | tāṃ ā madāya vajrahasta pītaye haribhyāṃ yāhy oka ā ||

These Soma juices, mixed with curd, have been expressed for Indra here. Come with thy Bay Steeds, Thunder-wielder, to our home, to drink them till they make thee glad.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

श्रवच् छ्रुत्कर्ण ईयते वसूनां नू चिन् नो मर्धिषद् गिरः । सद्यश् चिद् यः सहस्राणि शता ददन् नकिर् दित्सन्तम् आ मिनत् ॥

śravac chrutkarṇa īyate vasūnāṃ nū cin no mardhiṣad giraḥ | sadyaś cid yaḥ sahasrāṇi śatā dadan nakir ditsantam ā minat ||

May he whose ear is open hear us. He is asked for wealth: will he despise our prayer? Him who bestows at once a hundred thousand gifts none shall restrain when he would give.

The hero never checked by men hath gained his strength through Indra, he Who presses out and pours his deep libations forth, O Vrtra-slayer, unto thee.

When thou dost drive the fighting men together be, thou Mighty One, the mighty's shield. May we divide the wealth of him whom thou hast slain: bring us, Unreachable, his goods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

For Indra, Soma-drinker, armed with thunder, press the Soma juice. Make ready your dressed meats: cause him to favour us. The Giver blesses him who gives.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

Indra, that man when fighting shall obtain the spoil, whose strong defender thou wilt be. Be thou the gracious helper, Hero I of our cars, be thou the helper of our men.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
