Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 10 — Chapter 49

RV 10 49.1

अहꣳ दाꣳ गृणते पूर्व्यꣳ वस्व् अहम् ब्रह्म कृणवम् मह्यꣳ वर्धनम् । अहम् भुवꣳ यजमानस्य चोदितायज्वनः साक्षि विश्वस्मिन् भरे

ahaṁ dāṁ gṛṇate pūrvyaṁ vasv aham brahma kṛṇavam mahyaṁ vardhanam | aham bhuvaṁ yajamānasya coditāyajvanaḥ sākṣi viśvasmin bhare

I would give ancient good to the singer; I would make the formulation an increase for myself. I have become the impeller of the sacrificer; I overcome the non-sacrificer in every contest.

RV 10 49.2

माꣳ धुर् इन्द्रꣳ नाम देवता दिवश् च ग्मश् चापाꣳ च जन्तवः । अहꣳ हरी वृषणा विव्रता रघू अहꣳ वज्रꣳ शवसे धृष्ण्व् आ ददे

māṁ dhur indraṁ nāma devatā divaś ca gmaś cāpāṁ ca jantavaḥ | ahaṁ harī vṛṣaṇā vivratā raghū ahaṁ vajraṁ śavase dhṛṣṇv ā dade

The gods, and the creatures of heaven and of earth and of the waters, gave me the name Indra. I took to myself the two bay stallions, swift, going apart (in their courses); I took the vajra, bold, for strength.

RV 10 49.3

अहम् अत्कꣳ कवये शिश्नथꣳ हथैर् अहꣳ कुत्सम् आवम् आभिर् ऊतिभिः । अहꣳ शुष्णस्य श्नथिता वधर् यमꣳ न यो रर आर्यꣳ नाम दस्यवे

aham atkaṁ kavaye śiśnathaṁ hathair ahaṁ kutsam āvam ābhir ūtibhiḥ | ahaṁ śuṣṇasya śnathitā vadhar yamaṁ na yo rara āryaṁ nāma dasyave

I pierced Atka with deadly blows for Kavi; I helped Kutsa with these aids. I, the piercer of Śuṣṇa, wielded the weapon — I who did not grant the name of Ārya to the Dasyu.

RV 10 49.4

अहम् पितेव वेतसूꣳर् अभिष्टये तुग्रꣳ कुत्साय स्मदिभꣳ च रन्धयम् । अहम् भुवꣳ यजमानस्य राजनि प्र यद् भरे तुजये न प्रियाधृषे

aham piteva vetasūm̐r abhiṣṭaye tugraṁ kutsāya smadibhaṁ ca randhayam | aham bhuvaṁ yajamānasya rājani pra yad bhare tujaye na priyādhṛṣe

I, like a father, subjected the Vetasus for (his) superiority, and Tugra and Smadibha, for Kutsa. I came to be in the kingship of the sacrificer when I press forward in the contest for the thruster, not to be defied by a friend.

अहꣳ रन्धयम् मृगयꣳ श्रुतर्वणे यन् माजिहीत वयुना चनानुषक् । अहꣳ वेशꣳ नम्रम् आयवे ऽकरम् अहꣳ सव्याय पड्गृभिम् अरन्धयम्

ahaṁ randhayam mṛgayaṁ śrutarvaṇe yan mājihīta vayunā canānuṣak | ahaṁ veśaṁ namram āyave 'karam ahaṁ savyāya paḍgṛbhim arandhayam

I subjected Mṛgaya for Śrutarvan, when he did not abandon me, not even in order of the (fixed) rules. I made Veśa bow low for Āyu; I subjected Paḍgṛbhi for Savya.

RV 10 49.6

अहꣳ स यो नववास्त्वम् बृहद्रथꣳ सꣳ वृत्रेव दासꣳ वृत्रहारुजम् । यद् वर्धयन्तम् प्रथयन्तम् आनुषग् दूरे पारे रजसो रोचनाकरम्

ahaṁ sa yo navavāstvam bṛhadrathaṁ saṁ vṛtreva dāsaṁ vṛtrahārujam | yad vardhayantam prathayantam ānuṣag dūre pāre rajaso rocanākaram

I am he who shattered Navavāstva, Bṛhadratha, the Dāsa, as the Vṛtra-slayer shatters Vṛtra; who, when he was growing and spreading in succession, made the shining space far away, on the farther shore of the midspace.

RV 10 49.7

अहꣳ सूर्यस्य परि याम्य् आशुभिः प्रैतशेभिर् वहमान ओजसा । यन् मा सावो मनुष आह निर्णिज ऋधक् कृषे दासꣳ कृत्व्यꣳ हथैः

ahaṁ sūryasya pari yāmy āśubhiḥ praitaśebhir vahamāna ojasā | yan mā sāvo manuṣa āha nirṇija ṛdhak kṛṣe dāsaṁ kṛtvyaṁ hathaiḥ

I travel around with the swift (horses) of Sūrya, being borne forward by the Etaśas with force. When the pressing of man spoke to me of the adorning garment, I set apart and with blows worked upon the Dāsa ripe for action.

अहꣳ सप्तहा नहुषो नहुष्टरः प्राश्रावयꣳ शवसा तुर्वशꣳ यदुम् । अहꣳ न्य् अ१न्यꣳ सहसा सहस् करꣳ नव व्राधतो नवतिꣳ च वक्षयम्

ahaṁ saptahā nahuṣo nahuṣṭaraḥ prāśrāvayaṁ śavasā turvaśaṁ yadum | ahaṁ ny a1nyaṁ sahasā sahas karaṁ nava vrādhato navatiṁ ca vakṣayam

I, the slayer of seven, more Nahus than Nahus, made Turvaśa and Yadu resound with my might. I put down another by force, and force I made; the nine and ninety swelling ones I overpowered.

अहꣳ सप्त स्रवतो धारयꣳ वृषा द्रवित्न्वः पृथिव्याꣳ सीरा अधि । अहम् अर्णाꣳसि वि तिरामि सुक्रतुर् युधा विदम् मनवे गातुम् इष्टये

I, the bull, held the seven flowing ones, running as streams upon the earth. I, of good resolve, spread apart the floods; by battle I found a way for Manu for his quest.

अहꣳ तद् आसु धारयꣳ यद् आसु न देवश् चन त्वष्टाधारयद् रुशत् । स्पार्हꣳ गवाम् ऊधःसु वक्षणास्व् आ मधोर् मधु श्वात्र्यꣳ सोमम् आशिरम्

ahaṁ tad āsu dhārayaṁ yad āsu na devaś cana tvaṣṭādhārayad ruśat | spārhaṁ gavām ūdhaḥsu vakṣaṇāsv ā madhor madhu śvātryaṁ somam āśiram

I held in them that which no god, not even Tvaṣṭar, held in them: the shining, coveted (milk) in the udders of the cows, in their bellies — the honey of honey, the swelling soma, the milk-admixture.

RV 10 49.11

एवा देवाꣳ इन्द्रो विव्ये नॄन् प्र च्यौत्नेन मघवा सत्यराधाः । विश्वेत् ता ते हरिवः शचीवो ऽभि तुरासः स्वयशो गृणन्ति

evā devām̐ indro vivye nṝn pra cyautnena maghavā satyarādhāḥ | viśvet tā te harivaḥ śacīvo 'bhi turāsaḥ svayaśo gṛṇanti

Thus has Indra enveloped the gods, the men, by his overthrowing force, the bounteous one whose bestowal is true. All these (deeds) of yours, O lord of the bays, O able one, the hastening (singers) sing, O self-glorious one.
