Rig Veda
tad asmai navyam aṅgirasvad arcata śuṣmā yad asya pratnathodīrate viśvā yad gotrā sahasā parīvṛtā made somasya dṛṃhitāny airayat
Like the Angirases, sing this new song forth to him, for, as in ancient days, his mighty powers are shown, When in the rapture of the Soma he unclosed with strength the solid firm-shut stables of the kine.
sa bhūtu yo ha prathamāya dhāyasa ojo mimāno mahimānam ātirat śūro yo yutsu tanvam parivyata śīrṣaṇi dyām mahinā praty amuñcata
Let him be even that God who, for the earliest draught measuring out his power, increased his majesty; Hero who fortified his body in the wars, and through his greatness set the heaven upon his head.
adhākṛṇoḥ prathamaṃ vīryam mahad yad asyāgre brahmaṇā śuṣmam airayaḥ ratheṣṭhena haryaśvena vicyutāḥ pra jīrayaḥ sisrate sadhryak pṛthak
Thou didst perform thy first great deed of hero might what time thou showedst power, through prayer, before this folk. Hurled down by thee the car-borne Lord of Tawny Steeds, the congregated swift ones fled in sundry ways.
adhā yo viśvā bhuvanābhi majmaneśānakṛt pravayā abhy avardhata ād rodasī jyotiṣā vahnir ātanot sīvyan tamāṃsi dudhitā sam avyayat
He made himself by might Lord of all living things, and strong in vital power waxed great above them all. He, borne on high, o'erspread with light the heaven and earth, and, sewing up the turbid darkness, closed it in.
sa prācīnān parvatān dṛṃhad ojasādharācīnam akṛṇod apām apaḥ adhārayat pṛthivīṃ viśvadhāyasam astabhnān māyayā dyām avasrasaḥ
He with his might made firm the forward-bending hills, the downward rushing of the waters he ordained. Fast he upheld the earth that nourisheth all life, and stayed the heaven from falling by his wondrous skill.
sāsmā aram bāhubhyāṃ yam pitākṛṇod viśvasmād ā januṣo vedasas pari yenā pṛthivyāṃ ni kriviṃ śayadhyai vajreṇa hatvy avṛṇak tuviṣvaṇiḥ
Fit for the grasping of his arms is what the Sire hath fabricated from all kind of precious wealth. The thunderbolt, wherewith, loud-roaring, he smote down, and striking him to death laid Krivi on the earth.

As she who in her parents' house is growing old, I pray to thee as Bhaga from the seat of all. Grant knowledge, mete it out and bring it to us here: give us the share wherewith thou makest people glad.
bhojaṃ tvām indra vayaṃ huvema dadiṣ ṭvam indrāpāṃsi vājān aviḍḍhīndra citrayā na ūtī kṛdhi vṛṣann indra vasyaso naḥ
May we invoke thee as a liberal giver thou givest us, O Indra, strength and labours. Help us with manifold assistance, Indra: Migthy One, Indra, make us yet more wealthy.
nūnaṃ sā te prati varaṃ jaritre duhīyad indra dakṣiṇā maghonī śikṣā stotṛbhyo māti dhag bhago no bṛhad vadema vidathe suvīrāḥ
Now may that wealthy Cow of thine, O Indra, give in return a boon to him who lauds thee. Give to thy praisers: let not fortune fail us. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.
