Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.90

प्र हिन्वानो जनिता रोदस्यो रथो न वाजं सनिष्यन्न् अयासीत् । इन्द्रं गच्छन्न् आयुधा संशिशानो विश्वा वसु हस्तयोर् आदधानः ॥

pra hinvāno janitā rodasyo ratho na vājaṃ saniṣyann ayāsīt | indraṃ gacchann āyudhā saṃśiśāno viśvā vasu hastayor ādadhānaḥ ||

Urged On, the Father of the Earth and Heaven hath gone forth like a car to gather booty, Going to Indra, sharpening his weapons, and in his hand containing every treasure.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अभि त्रिपृष्ठं वृषणं वयोधाम् आङ्गूषाणाम् अवावशन्त वाणीः । वना वसानो वरुणो न सिन्धून् वि रत्नधा दयते वार्याणि ॥

abhi tripṛṣṭhaṃ vṛṣaṇaṃ vayodhām āṅgūṣāṇām avāvaśanta vāṇīḥ | vanā vasāno varuṇo na sindhūn vi ratnadhā dayate vāryāṇi ||

To him the tones of sacred song have sounded, Steer of the triple height, the Life-bestower. Dwelling in wood as Varuna in rivers, lavishing treasure he distributes blessings

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

शूरग्रामः सर्ववीरः सहावाञ् जेता पवस्व सनिता धनानि । तिग्मायुधः क्षिप्रधन्वा समत्स्व् अषाळ्हः साह्वान् पृतनासु शत्रून् ॥

śūragrāmaḥ sarvavīraḥ sahāvāñ jetā pavasva sanitā dhanāni | tigmāyudhaḥ kṣipradhanvā samatsv aṣāḷhaḥ sāhvān pṛtanāsu śatrūn ||

Great Conqueror, warrior-girt, Lord of all heroes, flow on thy way as he who winneth riches; With sharpened. arms, with swift bow, never vanquished in battle, vanquishing in fight the foemen.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

उरुगव्यूतिर् अभयानि कृण्वन् समीचीने आ पवस्वा पुरन्धी । अपः सिषासन्न् उषसः स्वर् गाः सं चिक्रदो महो अस्मभ्यं वाजान् ॥

urugavyūtir abhayāni kṛṇvan samīcīne ā pavasvā purandhī | apaḥ siṣāsann uṣasaḥ svar gāḥ saṃ cikrado maho asmabhyaṃ vājān ||

Giving security, Lord of wide dominion, send us both earth and heaven with all their fulness. Striving to win the Dawns, the light, the waters, and cattle, call to us abundant vigour.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

मत्सि सोम वरुणम् मत्सि मित्रम् मत्सीन्द्रम् इन्दो पवमान विष्णुम् । मत्सि शर्धो मारुतम् मत्सि देवान् मत्सि महाम् इन्द्रम् इन्दो मदाय ॥

matsi soma varuṇam matsi mitram matsīndram indo pavamāna viṣṇum | matsi śardho mārutam matsi devān matsi mahām indram indo madāya ||

O Soma, gladden Varuna and Mitra; cheer, Indu Pavamana! Indra, Visnu. Cheer thou the Gods, the Company of Maruts: Indu, cheer mighty Indra to rejoicing.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एवा राजेव क्रतुमां अमेन विश्वा घनिघ्नद् दुरिता पवस्व । इन्दो सूक्ताय वचसे वयो धा यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

evā rājeva kratumāṃ amena viśvā ghanighnad duritā pavasva | indo sūktāya vacase vayo dhā yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Thus like a wise and potent King flow onward, destroying with thy vigour all misfortunes. For our well-spoken hymn give life, O Indu. Do ye preserve us evermore with blessings.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
