Rig Veda
apād ita ud u naś citratamo mahīm bharṣad dyumatīm indrahūtim panyasīṃ dhītiṃ daivyasya yāmañ janasya rātiṃ vanate sudānuḥ
He hath drunk hence, Most Marvellous, and carried away our great and splendid call on Indra. The Bounteous, when we serve the Gods, accepteth song yet more famous and the gifts we bring him.
dūrāc cid ā vasato asya karṇā ghoṣād indrasya tanyati bruvāṇaḥ eyam enaṃ devahūtir vavṛtyān madryag indram iyam ṛcyamānā
The speaker filleth with a cry to Indra his ears who cometh nigh e'en from a distance. May this my call bring Indra to my presence, this call to Gods composed in sacred verses.
taṃ vo dhiyā paramayā purājām ajaram indram abhy anūṣy arkaiḥ brahmā ca giro dadhire sam asmin mahāṃś ca stomo adhi vardhad indre
Him have I sung with my best song and praises, Indra of ancient birth and Everlasting. For prayer and songs in him are concentrated: let laud wax mighty when addressed to Indra:
vardhād yaṃ yajña uta soma indraṃ vardhād brahma gira ukthā ca manma vardhāhainam uṣaso yāmann aktor vardhān māsāḥ śarado dyāva indram
Indra, whom sacrifice shall strengthen, Soma, and song and hymn, and praises and devotion, Whom Dawns shall strengthen when the night departeth, Indra whom days shall strengthen, months, and autumns.
evā jajñānaṃ sahase asāmi vāvṛdhānaṃ rādhase ca śrutāya mahām ugram avase vipra nūnam ā vivāsema vṛtratūryeṣu
Him, born for conquering might in full perfection, and waxen strongfor bounty and for glory, Great, Powerful, will we to-day, O singer, invite to aid. us and to quell our foemen.
