Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 131

RV 1 131.1

इन्द्राय हि द्यौर् असुरो अनम्नतेन्द्राय मही पृथिवी वरीमभिर् द्युम्नसाता वरीमभिः । इन्द्रꣳ विश्वे सजोषसो देवासो दधिरे पुरः । इन्द्राय विश्वा सवनानि मानुषा रातानि सन्तु मानुषा

indrāya hi dyaur asuro anamnatendrāya mahī pṛthivī varīmabhir dyumnasātā varīmabhiḥ | indraṁ viśve sajoṣaso devāso dadhire puraḥ | indrāya viśvā savanāni mānuṣā rātāni santu mānuṣā

For to Indra the Asura Heaven bowed down, to Indra the great Earth with her wide expanses, at the winning of splendour with her wide expanses. Indra all the gods of one accord set in front. To Indra let all the human pressings be given, the human (offerings).

RV 1 131.2

विश्वेषु हि त्वा सवनेषु तुञ्जते समानम् एकꣳ वृषमण्यवः पृथक् स्वः सनिष्यवः पृथक् । तꣳ त्वा नावꣳ न पर्षणिꣳ शूषस्य धुरि धीमहि । इन्द्रꣳ न यज्ञैश् चितयन्त आयवः स्तोमेभिर् इन्द्रम् आयवः

viśveṣu hi tvā savaneṣu tuñjate samānam ekaṁ vṛṣamaṇyavaḥ pṛthak svaḥ saniṣyavaḥ pṛthak | taṁ tvā nāvaṁ na parṣaṇiṁ śūṣasya dhuri dhīmahi | indraṁ na yajñaiś citayanta āyavaḥ stomebhir indram āyavaḥ

For at all the pressings they urge you on, the one and the same, each apart, with bull-like zeal, each apart, seeking to win the sun. You we set like a boat for crossing at the yoke-pole of our vigour — the Āyus taking notice of Indra with sacrifices, the Āyus of Indra with praises.

RV 1 131.3

वि त्वा ततस्रे मिथुना अवस्यवो व्रजस्य साता गव्यस्य निःसृजः सक्षन्त इन्द्र निःसृजः । यद् गव्यन्ता द्वा जना स्व१र् यन्ता समूहसि । आविष् करिक्रद् वृषणꣳ सचाभुवꣳ वज्रम् इन्द्र सचाभुवम्

vi tvā tatasre mithunā avasyavo vrajasya sātā gavyasya niḥsṛjaḥ sakṣanta indra niḥsṛjaḥ | yad gavyantā dvā janā sva1r yantā samūhasi | āviṣ karikrad vṛṣaṇaṁ sacābhuvaṁ vajram indra sacābhuvam

The pairs, seeking help, have drawn you apart in the winning of the pen, at the release of the cattle, cleaving to you, Indra, at the release. When you drive together two peoples that seek cows, that seek the sun, making manifest the bull that stands by you — the vajra, Indra, that stands by you.

RV 1 131.4

विदुष् टे अस्य वीर्यस्य पूरवः पुरो यद् इन्द्र शारदीर् अवातिरः सासहानो अवातिरः । शासस् तम् इन्द्र मर्त्यम् अयज्युꣳ शवसस् पते । महीम् अमुष्णाः पृथिवीम् इमा अपो मन्दसान इमा अपः

viduṣ ṭe asya vīryasya pūravaḥ puro yad indra śāradīr avātiraḥ sāsahāno avātiraḥ | śāsas tam indra martyam ayajyuṁ śavasas pate | mahīm amuṣṇāḥ pṛthivīm imā apo mandasāna imā apaḥ

The Purus know of this heroic deed of yours, that you brought down the autumnal forts, Indra, overpowering them you brought them down. You chastised that mortal, Indra, the non-sacrificer, O lord of power. You took away the great earth, these waters — exulting, these waters.

RV 1 131.5

आद् इत् ते अस्य वीर्यस्य चर्किरन् मदेषु वृषन्न् उशिजो यद् आविथ सखीयतो यद् आविथ । चकर्थ कारम् एभ्यः पृतनासु प्रवन्तवे । ते अन्याम्-अन्याꣳ नद्यꣳ सनिष्णत श्रवस्यन्तः सनिष्णत

ād it te asya vīryasya carkiran madeṣu vṛṣann uśijo yad āvitha sakhīyato yad āvitha | cakartha kāram ebhyaḥ pṛtanāsu pravantave | te anyām-anyāṁ nadyaṁ saniṣṇata śravasyantaḥ saniṣṇata

Then indeed they make mention of this heroic deed of yours in the raptures, O bull — that you aided the Uśijs, that you aided those who sought your friendship. You made for them a song of triumph, to press forward in battles. They won one river after another; seeking fame, they won them.

RV 1 131.6

उतो नो अस्या उषसो जुषेत ह्य् अ१र्कस्य बोधि हविषो हवीमभिः स्वर्षाता हवीमभिः । यद् इन्द्र हन्तवे मृधो वृषा वज्रिञ् चिकेतसि । आ मे अस्य वेधसो नवीयसो मन्म श्रुधि नवीयसः

uto no asyā uṣaso juṣeta hy a1rkasya bodhi haviṣo havīmabhiḥ svarṣātā havīmabhiḥ | yad indra hantave mṛdho vṛṣā vajriñ ciketasi | ā me asya vedhaso navīyaso manma śrudhi navīyasaḥ

And may he take pleasure in this dawn of ours; take note of the chant, of the oblation, with our invocations — with invocations at the winning of the sun. When, Indra, bull with the vajra, you set your mind on slaying the scorners — hear this thought of mine, of this newer ritual-maker, the newer thought.

RV 1 131.7

त्वꣳ तम् इन्द्र वावृधानो अस्मयुर् अमित्रयन्तꣳ तुविजात मर्त्यꣳ वज्रेण शूर मर्त्यम् । जहि यो नो अघायति शृणुष्व सुश्रवस्तमः । रिष्टꣳ न यामन्न् अप भूतु दुर्मतिर् विश्वाप भूतु दुर्मतिः

tvaṁ tam indra vāvṛdhāno asmayur amitrayantaṁ tuvijāta martyaṁ vajreṇa śūra martyam | jahi yo no aghāyati śṛṇuṣva suśravastamaḥ | riṣṭaṁ na yāmann apa bhūtu durmatir viśvāpa bhūtu durmatiḥ

You, Indra, waxing strong and well disposed to us, (strike) that mortal who acts as an enemy, O powerfully born one — with the vajra, O hero, that mortal. Slay him who means us harm; hear us, you of greatest renown. Let ill-will be away, like harm on a journey; let all ill-will be away.
