Rig Veda
brahmā ṇa indropa yāhi vidvān arvāñcas te harayaḥ santu yuktāḥ viśve ciddhi tvā vihavanta martā asmākam icchṛṇuhi viśvaminva
Come to our prayers, O Indra, thou who knowest: let thy Bay Steeds be yoked and guided hither. Though mortal men on every side invoke thee, still give thine ear to us, O All-impeller.
havaṃ ta indra mahimā vy ānaḍ brahma yat pāsi śavasinn ṛṣīṇām ā yad vajraṃ dadhiṣe hasta ugra ghoraḥ san kratvā janiṣṭhā aṣāﾱhaḥ
Thy greatness reacheth to our invocation, the sages' prayer which, Potent God, thou guardest. What time thy hand, O Mighty, holds the thunder, awful in strength thou hast become resistless.
tava praṇītīndra johuvānān saṃ yan nṝn na rodasī ninetha mahe kṣatrāya śavase hi jajñe 'tūtujiṃ cit tūtujir aśiśnat
What time thou drewest both world-halves together, like heroes led by thee who call each other- For thou wast born for strength and high dominion-then e'en the active overthrew the sluggish.
ebhir na indrāhabhir daśasya durmitrāso hi kṣitayaḥ pavante prati yac caṣṭe anṛtam anenā ava dvitā varuṇo māyī naḥ sāt
Honour us in these present days, O Indra, for hostile men are making expiation. Our sin that sinless Varuna discovered, the Wondrous-Wise hath long ago forgiven.
vocemed indram maghavānam enam maho rāyo rādhaso yad dadan naḥ yo arcato brahmakṛtim aviṣṭho yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
We will address this liberal Lord, this Indra, that he may grant us gifts of ample riches, Best favourer of the singer's prayer and praises. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
