Rig Veda
ā no deva śavasā yāhi śuṣmin bhavā vṛdha indra rāyo asya mahe nṛmṇāya nṛpate suvajra mahi kṣatrāya pauṃsyāya śūra
With power and strength, O Mighty God, approach us: be the augmenter, Indra, of these riches; Strong Thunderer, Lord of men, for potent valour, for manly exploit and for high dominion.
havanta u tvā havyaṃ vivāci tanūṣu śūrāḥ sūryasya sātau tvaṃ viśveṣu senyo janeṣu tvaṃ vṛtrāṇi randhayā suhantu
Thee, worth invoking, in the din of battle, heroes invoke in fray for life and sunlight. Among all people thou art foremost fighter: give up our enemies to easy slaughter.
ahā yad indra sudinā vyucchān dadho yat ketum upamaṃ samatsu ny agniḥ sīdad asuro na hotā huvāno atra subhagāya devān
When fair bright days shall dawn on us, O Indra, and thou shalt bring thy banner near in battle, Agni the Asura shall sit as Herald, calling Gods hither for our great good fortune.
vayaṃ te ta indra ye ca deva stavanta śūra dadato maghāni yacchā sūribhya upamaṃ varūthaṃ svābhuvo jaraṇām aśnavanta
Thine are we, Indra, thine, both these who praise thee, and those who give rich gifts, O God and Hero. Grant to our princes excellent protection, may they wax old and still be strong and happy.
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.
