RV 10 23.1

यजामह इन्द्रꣳ वज्रदक्षिणꣳ हरीणाꣳ रथ्य१ꣳ विव्रतानाम् । प्र श्मश्रु दोधुवद् ऊर्ध्वथा भूद् वि सेनाभिर् दयमानो वि राधसा

yajāmaha indraṁ vajradakṣiṇaṁ harīṇāṁ rathya1ṁ vivratānām | pra śmaśru dodhuvad ūrdhvathā bhūd vi senābhir dayamāno vi rādhasā

We worship Indra, who holds the vajra in his right hand, the charioteer of the bay horses that go their separate ways. Shaking out his beard he stood upright, distributing with his armies, distributing with his bounty.

हरी न्व् अस्य या वने विदे वस्व् इन्द्रो मघैर् मघवा वृत्रहा भुवत् । ऋभुर् वाज ऋभुक्षाः पत्यते शवो ऽव क्ष्णौमि दासस्य नाम चित्

harī nv asya yā vane vide vasv indro maghair maghavā vṛtrahā bhuvat | ṛbhur vāja ṛbhukṣāḥ patyate śavo 'va kṣṇaumi dāsasya nāma cit

His two bays — and the wealth that is found in the wood: Indra with his gifts became the bounteous Vṛtra-slayer. Ṛbhu, Vāja, Ṛbhukṣan — he commands power; I grind down even the very name of the Dāsa.

RV 10 23.4

सो चिन् नु वृष्टिर् यूथ्या३ स्वा सचाꣳ इन्द्रः श्मश्रूणि हरिताभि प्रुष्णुते । अव वेति सुक्षयꣳ सुते मधूद् इद् धूनोति वातो यथा वनम्

He indeed, like rain belonging to the herd, his own: Indra sprinkles his tawny beard all over. He comes down to the good dwelling when the soma is pressed; sweet, he shakes (it) as the wind shakes the forest.

He who with his voice has slain many thousands of the contrary-voiced, the hostile-speaking, the unfriendly — that manly deed of his, each one, we sing, who like a father has increased his strength and might.

The Vimadas have engendered for you, Indra, a praise unprecedented, most abundant, for you the good giver. For we know the bounty of this mighty one, which we obtain as herdsmen (obtain) cattle.

mākir na enā sakhyā vi yauṣus tava cendra vimadasya ca ṛṣeḥ | vidmā hi te pramatiṁ deva jāmivad asme te santu sakhyā śivāni

Let not these friendships of ours be sundered—yours, Indra, and the seer Vimada's; for we know your forethought, O god, as that of a kinsman: let your kindly friendships be ours.
