Rig Veda
tvaṃ rājendra ye ca devā rakṣā nṝn pāhy asura tvam asmān tvaṃ satpatir maghavā nas tarutras tvaṃ satyo vasavānaḥ sahodāḥ
Thou art the King of all the Gods, O Indra: protect the men, O Asura, preserve us. Thou Lord of Heroes, Maghavan, our saver, art faithful, very rich, the victory-giver.
dano viśa indra mṛdhravācaḥ sapta yat puraḥ śarma śāradīr dart ṛṇor apo anavadyārṇā yūne vṛtram purukutsāya randhīḥ
Indra, thou humbledst tribes that spake with insult by breaking down seven autumn forts, their refuge. Thou stirredst, Blameless! billowy floods, and gavest his foe a prey to youthful Purukutsa.
ajā vṛta indra śūrapatnīr dyāṃ ca yebhiḥ puruhūta nūnam rakṣo agnim aśuṣaṃ tūrvayāṇaṃ siṃho na dame apāṃsi vastoḥ
With whom thou drivest troops whose lords are heroes, and bringest daylight now, much worshipped Indra, With them guard lion-like wasting active Agni to dwell in our tilled fields and in our homestead.
śeṣan nu ta indra sasmin yonau praśastaye pavīravasya mahnā sṛjad arṇāṃsy ava yad yudhā gās tiṣṭhaddharī dhṛṣatā mṛṣṭa vājān
They through the greatness of thy spear, O Indra, shall, to thy praise, rest in this earthly station. To loose the floods, to seek, for kine, the battle, his Bays he mounted boldly seized the booty.
vaha kutsam indra yasmiñcākan syūmanyū ṛjrā vātasyāśvā pra sūraś cakraṃ vṛhatād abhīke 'bhi spṛdho yāsiṣad vajrabāhuḥ
Indra, bear Kutsa, him in whom thou joyest: the dark-red horses of the Wind are docile. Let the Sun roll his chariot wheel anear us, and let the Thunderer go to meet the foemen.
jaghanvāṁ indra mitrerūñcodapravṛddho harivo adāśūn pra ye paśyann aryamaṇaṃ sacāyos tvayā śūrtā vahamānā apatyam
Thou Indra, Lord of Bays, made strong by impulse, hast slain the vexers of thy friends, who give not. They who beheld the Friend beside the living were cast aside by thee as they rode onward.
rapat kavir indrārkasātau kṣāṃ dāsāyopabarhaṇīṃ kaḥ karat tisro maghavā dānucitrā ni duryoṇe kuyavācam mṛdhi śret
Indra, the bard sang forth in inspiration: thou madest earth a covering for the Dasa. Maghavan made the three that gleam with moisture, and to his home brought Kuyavac to slay him.
sanā tā ta indra navyā āguḥ saho nabho 'viraṇāya pūrvīḥ bhinat puro na bhido adevīr nanamo vadhar adevasya pīyoḥ
These thine old deeds new bards have sung, O Indra. Thou conqueredst, boundest many tribes for ever. Like castles thou hast crushed the godless races, and bowed the godless scorner's deadly weapon.
tvaṃ dhunir indra dhunimatīr ṛṇor apaḥ sīrā na sravantīḥ pra yat samudram ati śūra parṣi pārayā turvaśaṃ yaduṃ svasti
A Stormer thou hast made the stormy waters flow down, O Indra, like the running rivers. When o'er the flood thou broughtest them, O Hero, thou keptest Turvasa and Yadu safely.
tvam asmākam indra viśvadha syā avṛkatamo narāṃ nṛpātā sa no viśvāsāṃ spṛdhāṃ sahodā vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum
Indra, mayst thou be ours in all occasions, protector of the men, most gentle-hearted, Giving us victory over all our rivals. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
