Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 132
RV 1 132.1
त्वया वयम् मघवन् पूर्व्ये धन इन्द्रत्वोताः सासह्याम पृतन्यतो वनुयाम वनुष्यतः । नेदिष्ठे अस्मिन्न् अहन्य् अधि वोचा नु सुन्वते । अस्मिन् यज्ञे वि चयेमा भरे कृतꣳ वाजयन्तो भरे कृतम्
tvayā vayam maghavan pūrvye dhana indratvotāḥ sāsahyāma pṛtanyato vanuyāma vanuṣyataḥ | nediṣṭhe asminn ahany adhi vocā nu sunvate | asmin yajñe vi cayemā bhare kṛtaṁ vājayanto bhare kṛtam
With you, bounteous one, in the contest for the foremost prize, aided by Indra, may we overcome those who attack, may we outdo those who envy us. On this very day, the nearest, speak up now for the presser. In this sacrifice may we pick out the winning throw in the contest; seeking prizes, (may we pick out) the winning throw in the contest.

HELPED, Indra Maghavan, by thee in war of old, may we subdue in fight the men who strive with us, conquer the men who war with us. This day that now is close at hand bless him who pours the Soma juice. In this our sacrifice may we divide the spoil, showing our strength, the spoil of war.

RV 1 132.2
स्वर्जेषे भर आप्रस्य वक्मन्य् उषर्बुधः स्वस्मिन्न् अञ्जसि क्राणस्य स्वस्मिन्न् अञ्जसि । अहन्न् इन्द्रो यथा विदे शीर्ष्णा-शीर्ष्णोपवाच्यः । अस्मत्रा ते सध्र्यक् सन्तु रातयो भद्रा भद्रस्य रातयः
svarjeṣe bhara āprasya vakmany uṣarbudhaḥ svasminn añjasi krāṇasya svasminn añjasi | ahann indro yathā vide śīrṣṇā-śīrṣṇopavācyaḥ | asmatrā te sadhryak santu rātayo bhadrā bhadrasya rātayaḥ
At the winning of the sun, in the contest, at the recital of the one who fills (the offering?), of the dawn-waking one, in his own swift course, of the one acting in his own swift course — Indra slew, as is known, he who is to be invoked head by head. Let your gifts be directed together toward us, auspicious gifts of the auspicious one.

In war which wins the light, at the freegiver's call, at due oblation of the early-rising one, oblation of the active one, Indra slew, even as we know-whom each bowed head must reverence. May all thy bounteous gifts be gathered up for us, yea, the good gifts of thee the Good.

RV 1 132.3
तत् तु प्रयः प्रत्नथा ते शुशुक्वनꣳ यस्मिन् यज्ञे वारम् अकृण्वत क्षयम् ऋतस्य वार् असि क्षयम् । वि तद् वोचेर् अध द्वितान्तः पश्यन्ति रश्मिभिः । स घा विदे अन्व् इन्द्रो गवेषणो बन्धुक्षिद्भ्यो गवेषणः
tat tu prayaḥ pratnathā te śuśukvanaṁ yasmin yajñe vāram akṛṇvata kṣayam ṛtasya vār asi kṣayam | vi tad vocer adha dvitāntaḥ paśyanti raśmibhiḥ | sa ghā vide anv indro gaveṣaṇo bandhukṣidbhyo gaveṣaṇaḥ
That refreshment of yours, blazing as of old, at which sacrifice they made a chosen dwelling — you are the water(?) of ṛta, the dwelling. Proclaim that, then, in twofold manner: within, they see by means of the rays. He indeed is known, Indra, the seeker of cattle, the seeker of cattle for those who dwell as kin.

This food glows for thee as of old at sacrifice, wherein they made thee chooser of the place , for thou choosest the place of sacrifice. Speak thou and make it known to us they see within with beams of light. Indra, indeed, is found a seeker after spoil, spoil-seeker for his own allies.

RV 1 132.4
नू इत्था ते पूर्वथा च प्रवाच्यꣳ यद् अङ्गिरोभ्यो ऽवृणोर् अप व्रजम् इन्द्र शिक्षन्न् अप व्रजम् । ऐभ्यः समान्या दिशास्मभ्यꣳ जेषि योत्सि च । सुन्वद्भ्यो रन्धया कꣳ चिद् अव्रतꣳ हृणायन्तꣳ चिद् अव्रतम्
nū itthā te pūrvathā ca pravācyaṁ yad aṅgirobhyo 'vṛṇor apa vrajam indra śikṣann apa vrajam | aibhyaḥ samānyā diśāsmabhyaṁ jeṣi yotsi ca | sunvadbhyo randhayā kaṁ cid avrataṁ hṛṇāyantaṁ cid avratam
Now indeed, thus and as before, it is to be proclaimed of you, that for the Aṅgirases you uncovered the pen, Indra, instructing (them), uncovered the pen. From the same quarter, win for them and for us, and do battle. Subject to the pressers any lawless one, even the lawless one who rages.

So now must thy great deed be lauded as of old, when for the Angirases thou openedst the stall, openedst, giving aid, the stall. In the same manner for us here fight thou and be victorious: To him who pours the juice give up the lawless man, the lawless who is wroth with us.

RV 1 132.5
सꣳ यज् जनान् क्रतुभिः शूर ईक्षयद् धने हिते तरुषन्त श्रवस्यवः प्र यक्षन्त श्रवस्यवः । तस्मा आयुः प्रजावद् इद् बाधे अर्चन्त्य् ओजसा । इन्द्र ओक्यꣳ दिधिषन्त धीतयो देवाꣳ अच्छा न धीतयः
saṁ yaj janān kratubhiḥ śūra īkṣayad dhane hite taruṣanta śravasyavaḥ pra yakṣanta śravasyavaḥ | tasmā āyuḥ prajāvad id bādhe arcanty ojasā | indra okyaṁ didhiṣanta dhītayo devām̐ acchā na dhītayaḥ
When the hero makes the peoples look together by his resolves, at the set stake those seeking fame contend, seeking fame they press forward. For him they chant, with power, a life-span rich in offspring, at the pressing(?). The thoughts seek to establish a home in Indra, the thoughts as though (going) toward the gods.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
When with wise plan the Hero leads the people forth, they conquer in the ordered battle, seeking fame, press, eager, onward seeking fame. To him in time of need they sing for life with offspring and with strength. Their hymns with Indra find a welcome place of rest: the hynins go forward to the Gods.

युवꣳ तम् इन्द्रापर्वता पुरोयुधा यो नः पृतन्याद् अप तꣳ-तम् इद् धतꣳ वज्रेण तꣳ-तम् इद् धतम् । दूरे चत्ताय च्छन्त्सद् गहनꣳ यद् इनक्षत् । अस्माकꣳ शत्रून् परि शूर विश्वतो दर्मा दर्षीष्ट विश्वतः

You two, Indra and Parvata, fighting in the van — whoever attacks us, strike each such one away, with the vajra strike each such one. To him who is driven far off let the thicket seem welcome, when he makes for it. Our foes on every side, O hero — as the breaker, may you break them apart on every side.

Indra and Parvata, our champions in the fight, drive ye away each man who fain would war with us, drive him far from us with the bolt. Welcome to him concealed afar shall he the lair that he hath found. So may the Render rend our foes on every side, rend them, O Hero, everywhere.
