Rig Veda
tat ta indriyam paramam parācair adhārayanta kavayaḥ puredam kṣamedam anyad divy anyad asya sam ī pṛcyate samaneva ketuḥ
That highest Indra-power of thine is distant: that which is here sages possessed aforetime. This one is on the earth, in heaven the other, and both unite as flag with flag in battle.
sa dhārayat pṛthivīm paprathac ca vajreṇa hatvā nir apaḥ sasarja ahann ahim abhinad rauhiṇaṃ vy ahan vyaṃsam maghavā śacībhiḥ
He spread the wide earth out and firmly fixed it, smote with his thunderbolt and loosed the waters. Maghavan with his puissance struck down Ahi, rent Rauhina to death and slaughtered Vyamsa.
sa jātūbharmā śraddadhāna ojaḥ puro vibhindann acarad vi dāsīḥ vidvān vajrin dasyave hetim asyāryaṃ saho vardhayā dyumnam indra
Armed with his bolt and trusting in his prowess he wandered shattering the forts of Dasas. Cast thy dart, knowing, Thunderer, at the Dasyu; increase the Arya's might and glory, Indra.
tad ūcuṣe mānuṣemā yugāni kīrtenyam maghavā nāma bibhrat upaprayan dasyuhatyāya vajrī yaddha sūnuḥ śravase nāma dadhe
For him who thus hath taught these human races, Maghavan, bearing a fame-worthy title, Thunderer, drawing nigh to slay the Dasyus, hath given himself the name of Son for glory.
tad asyedam paśyatā bhūri puṣṭaṃ śrad indrasya dhattana vīryāya sa gā avindat so avindad aśvān sa oṣadhīḥ so apaḥ sa vanāni
See this abundant wealth that he possesses, and put your trust in Indra's hero vigour. He found the cattle, and he found the horses, he found the plants, the forests and the waters.
bhūrikarmaṇe vṛṣabhāya vṛṣṇe satyaśuṣmāya sunavāma somam ya ādṛtyā paripanthīva śūro 'yajvano vibhajann eti vedaḥ
To him the truly strong, whose deeds are many, to him the strong Bull let us pour the Soma. The Hero, watching like a thief in ambush, goes parting the possessions of the godless.
tad indra preva vīryaṃ cakartha yat sasantaṃ vajreṇābodhayo 'him anu tvā patnīr hṛṣitaṃ vayaś ca viśve devāso amadann anu tvā
Well didst thou do that hero deed, O Indra, in waking with thy bolt the slumbering Ahi. in thee, delighted, Dames divine rejoiced them, the flying Maruts and all Gods were joyful.
śuṣṇam pipruṃ kuyavaṃ vṛtram indra yadāvadhīr vi puraḥ śambarasya tan no mitro varuṇo māmahantām aditiḥ sindhuḥ pṛthivī uta dyauḥ
As thou hast smitten Sushna, Pipru, Vritra and Kuyava, and Sambara's forts O Indra. This prayer of ours may Varuna grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
