<The Rig Veda, Book 10

Be with us; I have chosen thee: stand stedfast and immovable. Let all the people wish for thee let not thy kingship fall away.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Be even here; fall not away be like a mountain unremoved. Stand stedfast here like Indra's self, and hold the kingship in the grasp.

This man hath Indra stablished, made secure by strong oblation's power. May Soma speak a benison, and Brahmanaspati, on him.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Firm is the sky and firm the earth, and stedfast also are these hills. Stedfast is all this living world, and stedfast is this King of men.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Stedfast, may Varuna the King, stedfast, the God Brihaspati, Stedfast, may Indra, stedfast too, may Agni keep thy stedfast reign.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

On constant Soma let us think with constant sacrificial gift And then may Indra make the clans bring tribute unto thee alone.
