Rig Veda
mama dvitā rāṣṭraṃ kṣatriyasya viśvāyor viśve amṛtā yathā naḥ kratuṃ sacante varuṇasya devā rājāmi kṛṣṭer upamasya vavreḥ
I am the royal Ruler, mine is empire, as mine who sway all life are all Immortals. Varuna's will the Gods obey and follow. I am the King of men's most lofty cover.
ahaṃ rājā varuṇo mahyaṃ tāny asuryāṇi prathamā dhārayanta kratuṃ sacante varuṇasya devā rājāmi kṛṣṭer upamasya vavreḥ
I am King Varuna. To me were given these first existing high celestial powers. Varuna's will the Gods obey and follow. I am the King of men's most lofty cover.
aham indro varuṇas te mahitvorvī gabhīre rajasī sumeke tvaṣṭeva viśvā bhuvanāni vidvān sam airayaṃ rodasī dhārayaṃ ca
I Varuna am Indra: in their greatness, these the two wide deep fairly-fashioned regions, These the two world-halves have I, even as Tvashtar knowing all beings, joined and held together.
aham apo apinvam ukṣamāṇā dhārayaṃ divaṃ sadana ṛtasya ṛtena putro aditer ṛtāvota tridhātu prathayad vi bhūma
I made to flow the moisture-shedding waters, and set the heaven firm in the scat of Order. By Law the Son of Aditi, Law Observer, hath spread abroad the world in threefold measure.
māṃ naraḥ svaśvā vājayanto māṃ vṛtāḥ samaraṇe havante kṛṇomy ājim maghavāham indra iyarmi reṇum abhibhūtyojāḥ
Heroes with noble horses, fain for battle, selected warriors, call on me in combat. I Indra Maghavan, excite the conflict; I stir the dust, Lord of surpassing vigour.
ahaṃ tā viśvā cakaraṃ nakir mā daivyaṃ saho varate apratītam yan mā somāso mamadan yad ukthobhe bhayete rajasī apāre
All this I did. The Gods' own conquering power never impedeth me whom none opposeth. When lauds and Soma juice have made me joyful, both the unbounded regions are affrighted.
viduṣ ṭe viśvā bhuvanāni tasya tā pra bravīṣi varuṇāya vedhaḥ tvaṃ vṛtrāṇi śṛṇviṣe jaghanvān tvaṃ vṛtāṁ ariṇā indra sindhūn
All beings know these deeds of thine thou tellest this unto Varuna, thou great Disposer! Thou art renowned as having slain the Vritras. Thou madest flow the floods that were obstructed.
asmākam atra pitaras ta āsan sapta ṛṣayo daurgahe badhyamāne ta āyajanta trasadasyum asyā indraṃ na vṛtraturam ardhadevam
Our fathers then were these, the Seven his, what time the son of Durgaha was captive. For her they gained by sacrifice Trasadasyu, a demi-god, like Indra, conquering foemen.
purukutsānī hi vām adāśaddhavyebhir indrāvaruṇā namobhiḥ athā rājānaṃ trasadasyum asyā vṛtrahaṇaṃ dadathur ardhadevam
The spouse of Purukutsa gave oblations to you, O Indra-Varuna, with homage. Then unto her ye gave King Trasadasyu, the demi-god, the slayer of the foeman.
rāyā vayaṃ sasavāṃso madema havyena devā yavasena gāvaḥ tāṃ dhenum indrāvaruṇā yuvaṃ no viśvāhā dhattam anapasphurantīm
May we, possessing much, delight in riches, Gods in oblations and the kine in pasture; And that Milch-cow who shrinks not from the milking, O Indra-Varuna, give to us daily.
