Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·8·8.15
तम् व् अभि प्र गायत पुरुहूतम् पुरुष्टुतम् । इन्द्रं गीर्भिस् तविषम् आ विवासत ॥
tam v abhi pra gāyata puruhūtam puruṣṭutam | indraṃ gīrbhis taviṣam ā vivāsata ||
Sing forth to him whom many men invoke, to him whom many laud. Invite the powerful Indra with your songs of praise.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यस्य द्विबर्हसो बृहत् सहो दाधार रोदसी । गिरींर् अज्रां अपः स्वर् वृषत्वना ॥
yasya dvibarhaso bṛhat saho dādhāra rodasī | girīṃr ajrāṃ apaḥ svar vṛṣatvanā ||
Whose lofty might-for doubly strong is he-supports the heavens and earth, And hills and plains and floods and light with manly power.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स राजसि पुरुष्टुतं एको वृत्राणि जिघ्नसे । इन्द्र जैत्रा श्रवस्या च यन्तवे ॥
sa rājasi puruṣṭutaṃ eko vṛtrāṇi jighnase | indra jaitrā śravasyā ca yantave ||
Such, Praised by many! thou art King alone thou smitest Vrtras dead, To gain, O Indra, spoils of war and high renown.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं ते मदं गृणीमसि वृषणम् पृत्सु सासहिम् । उ लोककृत्नुम् अद्रिवो हरिश्रियम् ॥
taṃ te madaṃ gṛṇīmasi vṛṣaṇam pṛtsu sāsahim | u lokakṛtnum adrivo hariśriyam ||
We sing this strong and wild delight of thine which conquers in the fray, Which, Caster of the Stone! gives room and shines like gold.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
येन ज्योतींष्य् आयवे मनवे च विवेदिथ । मन्दानो अस्य बर्हिषो वि राजसि ॥
yena jyotīṃṣy āyave manave ca viveditha | mandāno asya barhiṣo vi rājasi ||
Wherewith thou also foundest lights for Ayu and for Manu's sake: Now joying in this sacred grass thou beamest forth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तद् अद्या चित् त उक्थिनो ऽनु ष्टुवन्ति पूर्वथा । वृषपत्नीर् अपो जया दिवे-दिवे ॥
tad adyā cit ta ukthino 'nu ṣṭuvanti pūrvathā | vṛṣapatnīr apo jayā dive-dive ||
This day too singers of the hymn praise, as of old, this might of thine: Win thou the waters day by day, thralls of the strong.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तव त्यद् इन्द्रियम् बृहत् तव शुष्मम् उत क्रतुम् । वज्रं शिशाति धिषणा वरेण्यम् ॥
tava tyad indriyam bṛhat tava śuṣmam uta kratum | vajraṃ śiśāti dhiṣaṇā vareṇyam ||
That lofty Indra-power of thine, thy strength and thine intelligence, Thy thunderbolt for which we long, the wish makes keen.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तव द्यौर् इन्द्र पौंस्यम् पृथिवी वर्धति श्रवः । त्वाम् आपः पर्वतासश् च हिन्विरे ॥
tava dyaur indra pauṃsyam pṛthivī vardhati śravaḥ | tvām āpaḥ parvatāsaś ca hinvire ||
O Indra, Heaven and Earth augment thy manly power and thy renown; The waters and thy mountains stir and urge thee on.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वां विष्णुर् बृहन् क्षयो मित्रो गृणाति वरुणः । त्वां शर्धो मदत्य् अनु मारुतम् ॥
tvāṃ viṣṇur bṛhan kṣayo mitro gṛṇāti varuṇaḥ | tvāṃ śardho madaty anu mārutam ||
Visnu the lofty ruling Power, Varuna, Mitra sing thy praise: In thee the Marut3' company have great delight.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वं वृषा जनानाम् मंहिष्ठ इन्द्र जज्ञिषे । सत्रा विश्वा स्वपत्यानि दधिषे ॥
tvaṃ vṛṣā janānām maṃhiṣṭha indra jajñiṣe | satrā viśvā svapatyāni dadhiṣe ||
O Indra, thou wast born the Lord of men, most liberal of thy gifts: Excellent deeds for evermore are all thine own.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सत्रा त्वम् पुरुष्टुतं एको वृत्राणि तोशसे । नान्य इन्द्रात् करणम् भूय इन्वति ॥
satrā tvam puruṣṭutaṃ eko vṛtrāṇi tośase | nānya indrāt karaṇam bhūya invati ||
Ever, alone, O highly-praised, thou sendest Vrtras to their rest: None else than Indra executes the mighty deed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् इन्द्र मन्मशस् त्वा नाना हवन्त ऊतये । अस्माकेभिर् नृभिर् अत्रा स्वर् जय ॥
yad indra manmaśas tvā nānā havanta ūtaye | asmākebhir nṛbhir atrā svar jaya ||
Though here and there, in varied hymns, Indra, men call on thee for aid, Still with our heroes fight and win the light of heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अरं क्षयाय नो महे विश्वा रूपाण्य् आविशन् । इन्द्रं जैत्राय हर्षया शचीपतिम् ॥
araṃ kṣayāya no mahe viśvā rūpāṇy āviśan | indraṃ jaitrāya harṣayā śacīpatim ||
Already have all forms of him entered our spacious dwelling-place: For victory stir thou Indra, up, the Lord of Might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
