Rig Veda
yas te sādhiṣṭho 'vasa indra kratuṣ ṭam ā bhara asmabhyaṃ carṣaṇīsahaṃ sasniṃ vājeṣu duṣṭaram
Indra, for our assistance bring that most effectual power of thine, Which conquers men for us, and wins the spoil, invincible in fight.
yad indra te catasro yac chūra santi tisraḥ yad vā pañca kṣitīnām avas tat su na ā bhara
Indra, whatever aids be thine, four be they, or, O Hero, three, Or those of the Five Tribes of men, bring quickly all that help to us.
ā te 'vo vareṇyaṃ vṛṣantamasya hūmahe vṛṣajūtir hi jajñiṣa ābhūbhir indra turvaṇiḥ
The aid most excellent of thee the Mightiest hitherward we call, For thou wast born with hero might, conquering, Indra, with the Strong.
vṛṣā hy asi rādhase jajñiṣe vṛṣṇi te śavaḥ svakṣatraṃ te dhṛṣan manaḥ satrāham indra pauṃsyam
Mighty to prosper us wast thou born, and mighty is the strength thou hast. In native power thy soul is firm: thy valour, Indra, slays a host.
tvaṃ tam indra martyam amitrayantam adrivaḥ sarvarathā śatakrato ni yāhi śavasas pate
O Satakratu, Lord of Strength, O Indra, Caster of the Stone. With all thy chariot's force assail the man who shows himself thy foe.
tvām id vṛtrahantama janāso vṛktabarhiṣaḥ ugram pūrvīṣu pūrvyaṃ havante vājasātaye
For, Mightiest Vritra-slayer, thee, fierce, foremost among many, folk Whose sacred grass is trimmed invite to battle where the spoil is won.
asmākam indra duṣṭaram puroyāvānam ājiṣu sayāvānaṃ dhane dhane vājayantam avā ratham
Indra, do thou protect our car that mingles foremost in the fights, That bears its part in every fray, invincible and seeking spoil.
asmākam indrehi no ratham avā purandhyā vayaṃ śaviṣṭha vāryaṃ divi śravo dadhīmahi divi stomam manāmahe
Come to us, Indra, and protect our car with thine intelligence. May we, O Mightiest One, obtain excellent fame at break of day, and meditate our hymn at dawn.
