Rig Veda 10.113

tam asya dyāvāpṛthivī sacetasā viśvebhir devair anu śuṣmam āvatām yad ait kṛṇvāno mahimānam indriyam pītvī somasya kratumāṁ avardhata

The Heavens and the Earth accordant with all Gods encouraged graciously that vigorous might of his. When he came showing forth his majesty and power, he drank of Soma juice and waxed exceeding strong.

tam asya viṣṇur mahimānam ojasāṃśuṃ dadhanvān madhuno vi rapśate devebhir indro maghavā sayāvabhir vṛtraṃ jaghanvāṁ abhavad vareṇyaḥ

This majesty of his Vishnu extols and lauds, making the state that gives the meath flow forth with might. When Indra Maghavan with those who followed him had smitten Vritra he deserved the choice of Gods.

vṛtreṇa yad ahinā bibhrad āyudhā samasthithā yudhaye śaṃsam āvide viśve te atra marutaḥ saha tmanāvardhann ugra mahimānam indriyam

When, bearing warlike weapons, fain to win thee praise, thou meetest Vritra, yea, the Dragon, for the fight, Then all the Maruts who were gathered with dice there extolled, O Mighty One, thy powerful majesty.

jajñāna eva vy abādhata spṛdhaḥ prāpaśyad vīro abhi pauṃsyaṃ raṇam avṛścad adrim ava asyadaḥ sṛjad astabhnān nākaṃ svapasyayā pṛthum

Soon as he sprang to life he forced asunder hosts: forward the Hero looked to manly deed and war. He cleft the rock, he let concurrent streams flow forth, and with his skillful art stablished the heavens' wide vault.

ād indraḥ satrā taviṣīr apatyata varīyo dyāvāpṛthivī abādhata avābharad dhṛṣito vajram āyasaṃ śevam mitrāya varuṇāya dāśuṣe

Indra hath evermore possessed surpassing power: he forced, far from each other, heaven and earth apart. He hurled impetuous down his iron thunderbolt, a joy to Varuna's and Mitra's worshipper.

indrasyātra taviṣībhyo virapśina ṛghāyato araṃhayanta manyave vṛtraṃ yad ugro vy avṛścad ojasāpo bibhrataṃ tamasā parīvṛtam

Then to the mighty powers of Indra, to his wrath, his the fierce Stormer, loud of voice, they came with speed; What time the Potent One rent Vritra with his strength, who held the waters back, whom darkness compassed round.

yā vīryāṇi prathamāni kartvā mahitvebhir yatamānau samīyatuḥ dhvāntaṃ tamo 'va dadhvase hata indro mahnā pūrvahūtāv apatyata

Even in the first of those heroic acts which they who strove together came with might to execute, Deep darkness fell upon the slain, and Indra won by victory the right of being first invoked.

viśve devāso adha vṛṣṇyāni te 'vardhayan somavatyā vacasyayā raddhaṃ vṛtram ahim indrasya hanmanāgnir na jambhais tṛṣv annam āvayat

Then all the Gods extolled, with eloquence inspired by draughts of Soma juice, thy deeds of manly might. As Agni eats the dry food with his tongue, he ate Vritra, the Dragon, maimed by Indra's deadly dart.

bhūri dakṣebhir vacanebhir ṛkvabhiḥ sakhyebhiḥ sakhyāni pra vocata indro dhuniṃ ca cumuriṃ ca dambhayañchraddhāmanasyā śṛṇute dabhītaye

Proclaim his many friendships, met with friendship, made with singers, with the skillful and the eloquent. Indra, when he subdues Dhuni and Chumuri, lists to Dabhiti for his faithful spirit's sake.

tvam purūṇy ā bharā svaśvyā yebhir maṃsai nivacanāni śaṃsan sugebhir viśvā duritā tarema vido ṣu ṇa urviyā gādham adya

Give riches manifold with noble horses, to be remembered while my songs address thee. May we by easy paths pass all our troubles: find us this day a ford wide and extensive.
