Rig Veda
ajātaśatrum ajarā svarvaty anu svadhāmitā dasmam īyate sunotana pacata brahmavāhase puruṣṭutāya prataraṃ dadhātana
Boundless and wasting not, the heavenly food of Gods goes to the foeless One, doer of wondrous deeds. Press out, make ready, offer gifts with special zeal to him whom many laud, accepter of the prayer.
ā yaḥ somena jaṭharam apipratāmandata maghavā madhvo andhasaḥ yad īm mṛgāya hantave mahāvadhaḥ sahasrabhṛṣṭim uśanā vadhaṃ yamat
He who filled full his belly with the Soma's juice, Maghavan, was delighted with the meath's sweet draught, When Usana, that he might slay the monstrous beast, gave him the mighty weapon with a thousand points.
yo asmai ghraṃsa uta vā ya ūdhani somaṃ sunoti bhavati dyumāṁ aha apāpa śakras tatanuṣṭim ūhati tanūśubhram maghavā yaḥ kavāsakhaḥ
Illustrious is the man whoever presseth out Soma for him in sunshine or in cloud and rain. The mighty Maghavan who is the sage's Friend advanceth more and more his beauteous progeny.
yasyāvadhīt pitaraṃ yasya mātaraṃ yasya śakro bhrātaraṃ nāta īṣate vetīd v asya prayatā yataṅkaro na kilbiṣād īṣate vasva ākaraḥ
The Strong God doth not flee away from him whose sire, whose mother or whose brother he hath done to death. He, the Avenger, seeketh this man's offered gifts: this God, the source of riches, doth not flee from sin.
na pañcabhir daśabhir vaṣṭy ārabhaṃ nāsunvatā sacate puṣyatā cana jināti ved amuyā hanti vā dhunir ā devayum bhajati gomati vraje
He seeks no enterprise with five or ten to aid, nor stays with him who pours no juice though prospering well. The Shaker conquers or slays in this way or that, and to the pious gives a stable full of kine.
vitvakṣaṇaḥ samṛtau cakramāsajo 'sunvato viṣuṇaḥ sunvato vṛdhaḥ indro viśvasya damitā vibhīṣaṇo yathāvaśaṃ nayati dāsam āryaḥ
Exceeding strong in war he stays the chariot wheel, and, hating him who pours not, prospers him who pours. Indra the terrible, tamer of every man, as Arya leads away the Dasa at his will.
sam īm paṇer ajati bhojanam muṣe vi dāśuṣe bhajati sūnaraṃ vasu durge cana dhriyate viśva ā puru jano yo asya taviṣīm acukrudhat
He gathers up for plunder all the niggards gear: excellent wealth he gives to him who offers gifts. Not even in wide stronghold may all the folk stand firm who have provoked to anger his surpassing might.
saṃ yaj janau sudhanau viśvaśardhasāv aved indro maghavā goṣu śubhriṣu yujaṃ hy anyam akṛta pravepany ud īṃ gavyaṃ sṛjate satvabhir dhuniḥ
When Indra Maghavan hath marked two wealthy men fighting for beauteous cows with all their followers, He who stirs all things takes one as his close ally, and, Shaker, with his Heroes, sends the kine to him.
sahasrasām āgniveśiṃ gṛṇīṣe śatrim agna upamāṃ ketum aryaḥ tasmā āpaḥ saṃyataḥ pīpayanta tasmin kṣatram amavat tveṣam astu
Agni! I laud the liberal Agnivesi, Satri the type and standard of the pious. May the collected waters yield him plenty, and his be powerful and bright dominion.
