Rig Veda
tāṃ su te kīrtim maghavan mahitvā yat tvā bhīte rodasī ahvayetām prāvo devāṁ ātiro dāsam ojaḥ prajāyai tvasyai yad aśikṣa indra
I sing thy fame that, Maghavan, through thy Greatness the heavens and earth invoked thee in their terror, Thou, aiding Gods, didst quell the power of Dasas, what time thou holpest many a race, O Indra.
yad acaras tanvā vāvṛdhāno balānīndra prabruvāṇo janeṣu māyet sā te yāni yuddhāny āhur nādya śatruṃ nanu purā vivitse
When thou wast roaming, waxen strong in body, telling thy might, Indra, among the people, All that men called thy battles was illusion: no foe hast thou to-day, nor erst hast found one.
ka u nu te mahimanaḥ samasyāsmat pūrva ṛṣayo 'ntam āpuḥ yan mātaraṃ ca pitaraṃ ca sākam ajanayathās tanvaḥ svāyāḥ
Who are the Rishis, then, who comprehended before our time the bounds of all thy greatness? For from thy body thou hast generated at the same time the Mother and the Father.
catvāri te asuryāṇi nāmādābhyāni mahiṣasya santi tvam aṅga tāni viśvāni vitse yebhiḥ karmāṇi maghavañ cakartha
Thou, Mighty Steer, hast four supremest natures, Asura natures that may ne'er be injured. All these, O Maghavan, thou surely knowest, wherewith thou hast performed thy great achievements.
tvaṃ viśvā dadhiṣe kevalāni yāny āvir yā ca guhā vasūni kāmam in me maghavan mā vi tārīs tvam ājñātā tvam indrāsi dātā
Thou hast all treasures in thy sole possession, treasures made manifest and treasures hidden. Defer not thou, O Maghavan, my longing: thou, art Director, Indra, thou art Giver.

To him who set the light in things of splendour, and with all sweetness blent essential sweetness, To Indra hath this welcome hymn that strengthens been uttered by the votary Brihaduktha.
