RV 1 52.1

त्यꣳ सु मेषम् महया स्वर्विदꣳ शतꣳ यस्य सुभ्वः साकम् ईरते । अत्यꣳ न वाजꣳ हवनस्यदꣳ रथम् एन्द्रꣳ ववृत्याम् अवसे सुवृक्तिभिः

tyaṁ su meṣam mahayā svarvidaṁ śataṁ yasya subhvaḥ sākam īrate | atyaṁ na vājaṁ havanasyadaṁ ratham endraṁ vavṛtyām avase suvṛktibhiḥ

Magnify indeed that ram, the finder of the sun, whose hundred stout (helps) go forth together. Like a steed, a prize, swift to the call, a chariot — I would turn Indra hither with well-turned (hymns) for aid.

RV 1 52.2

स पर्वतो न धरुणेष्व् अच्युतः सहस्रमूतिस् तविषीषु वावृधे । इन्द्रो यद् वृत्रम् अवधीन् नदीवृतम् उब्जन्न् अर्णाꣳसि जर्हृषाणो अन्धसा

sa parvato na dharuṇeṣv acyutaḥ sahasramūtis taviṣīṣu vāvṛdhe | indro yad vṛtram avadhīn nadīvṛtam ubjann arṇāṁsi jarhṛṣāṇo andhasā

He, unshaken like a mountain on its foundations, of a thousand aids, has grown great in his powers — Indra, when he slew Vṛtra who penned the rivers, forcing out the floods, bristling with eagerness from the juice.

RV 1 52.3

स हि द्वरो द्वरिषु वव्र ऊधनि चन्द्रबुध्नो मदवृद्धो मनीषिभिः । इन्द्रꣳ तम् अह्वे स्वपस्यया धिया मꣳहिष्ठरातिꣳ स हि पप्रिर् अन्धसः

sa hi dvaro dvariṣu vavra ūdhani candrabudhno madavṛddho manīṣibhiḥ | indraṁ tam ahve svapasyayā dhiyā maṁhiṣṭharātiṁ sa hi paprir andhasaḥ

For he is a door among doors, an enclosure at the udder, with glittering base, strengthened by the exhilaration (given him) by the thoughtful ones. That Indra I have called with skilful thought, him of most generous gift, for he fills himself with the juice.

आ यम् पृणन्ति दिवि सद्मबर्हिषः समुद्रꣳ न सुभ्व१ः स्वा अभिष्टयः । तꣳ वृत्रहत्ये अनु तस्थुर् ऊतयः शुष्मा इन्द्रम् अवाता अह्रुतप्सवः

ā yam pṛṇanti divi sadmabarhiṣaḥ samudraṁ na subhva1ḥ svā abhiṣṭayaḥ | taṁ vṛtrahatye anu tasthur ūtayaḥ śuṣmā indram avātā ahrutapsavaḥ

Whom they fill in heaven, those whose seat is the barhis — as his own mighty superiorities fill the sea — him, at the slaying of Vṛtra, the aids attended, the impetuous forces, unblown by the wind, of unbent form, (attended) Indra.

abhi svavṛṣṭim made asya yudhyato raghvīr iva pravaṇe sasrur ūtayaḥ | indro yad vajrī dhṛṣamāṇo andhasā bhinad valasya paridhīm̐r iva tritaḥ

In the exhilaration of him as he fought, his aids ran toward the self-raining one like swift (mares) down a slope, when Indra with the mace, growing bold from the juice, broke the enclosures of Vala as Trita (did).

परीꣳ घृणा चरति तित्विषे शवो ऽपो वृत्वी रजसो बुध्नम् आशयत् । वृत्रस्य यत् प्रवणे दुर्गृभिश्वनो निजघन्थ हन्वोर् इन्द्र तन्यतुम्

Wrath goes about him; his might has flashed out. Having penned the waters he lay at the bottom of the airy realm — when in the slope you struck down, Indra, the thunder from the jaws of Vṛtra, whose horses are hard to grasp.

hradaṁ na hi tvā nyṛṣanty ūrmayo brahmāṇīndra tava yāni vardhanā | tvaṣṭā cit te yujyaṁ vāvṛdhe śavas tatakṣa vajram abhibhūtyojasam

For the waves rush into you as into a lake — those formulas of yours, Indra, which are your strengtheners. Even Tvaṣṭar increased for you your fitting might; he fashioned the mace of overpowering force.

When out of fear they made the ascent of heaven great, self-shining, powerful, worthy of the laud — when the aids, with men as the prize, and the Maruts who attend on men, rejoiced after Indra toward the sun.

Even Heaven, for all its power, kept away in fear at the serpent's roar, at your mace, Indra, when in the exhilaration of the pressed soma you split with your might the head of Vṛtra who had been oppressing the two worlds.

You became the counter-measure of the earth; you became the lord of the lofty (heaven) with its towering heroes. You filled the whole midspace with your greatness — this is true indeed: no other is your equal.
