Rig Veda
yaddha syā ta indra śruṣṭir asti yayā babhūtha jaritṛbhya ūtī mā naḥ kāmam mahayantam ā dhag viśvā te aśyām pary āpa āyoḥ
If, Indra, thou hast given that gracious hearing where with thou helpest those who sang thy praises. Blast not the wish that would exalt us may I gain all from thee, and pay all man's devotions.
na ghā rājendra ā dabhan no yā nu svasārā kṛṇavanta yonau āpaś cid asmai sutukā aveṣan gaman na indraḥ sakhyā vayaś ca
Let not the Sovran Indra disappoint us in what shall bring both Sisters to our dwelling. To him have run the quickly flowing waters. May Indra come to us with life and friendship.
jetā nṛbhir indraḥ pṛtsu śūraḥ śrotā havaṃ nādhamānasya kāroḥ prabhartā rathaṃ dāśuṣa upāka udyantā giro yadi ca tmanā bhūt
Victorious with the men, Hero in battles, Indra, who hears the singer's supplication, Will bring his car nigh to the man who offers, if he himself upholds the songs that praise him.
evā nṛbhir indraḥ suśravasyā prakhādaḥ pṛkṣo abhi mitriṇo bhūt samarya iṣa stavate vivāci satrākaro yajamānasya śaṃsaḥ
Yea, Indra, with the men, through love of glory consumes the sacred food which friends have offered. The ever-strengthening song of him who worships is sung in fight amid the clash of voices.
tvayā vayam maghavann indra śatrūn abhi ṣyāma mahato manyamānān tvaṃ trātā tvam u no vṛdhe bhūr vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum
Aided by thee, O Maghavan, O Indra, may we subdue our foes who count them mighty. Be our protector, strengthen and increase us. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
