RV 5 32.1

अदर्दर् उत्सम् असृजो वि खानि त्वम् अर्णवान् बद्बधानाꣳ अरम्णाः । महान्तम् इन्द्र पर्वतꣳ वि यद् वः सृजो वि धारा अव दानवꣳ हन्

adardar utsam asṛjo vi khāni tvam arṇavān badbadhānām̐ aramṇāḥ | mahāntam indra parvataṁ vi yad vaḥ sṛjo vi dhārā ava dānavaṁ han

You split open the well, you released the channels, you brought to rest the pent-up flooding (waters). When, Indra, you opened up the great mountain, you let the streams loose, you struck down the Dānava.

You, O wielder of the vajra, made the pent-up wells rush forth at their seasons — the udder of the mountain. Having slain even the serpent lying heedless, O fierce Indra, you took on (your) might.

Even that one of theirs who revelled in his own power, the child of the mist, well-grown, moving in darkness — he of the bull's thrust, the vajra-bearer, struck down Śuṣṇa, the fury of the Dānava, with the vajra.

त्यꣳ चिद् अस्य क्रतुभिर् निषत्तम् अमर्मणो विदद् इद् अस्य मर्म । यद् ईꣳ सुक्षत्र प्रभृता मदस्य युयुत्सन्तꣳ तमसि हर्म्ये धाः

Even that one seated (secure) by his own designs — of him who had no vulnerable spot, he found the vulnerable spot. When, O you of good rule, at the offering of the exhilarating drink, you placed him, eager to fight, in darkness within the walled house.

When Indra raised up the deadly weapon, unopposable force, against the great Dānava; when at the brandishing of the vajra he tricked him, he made him the lowest of every creature.

Even that flood-creature, honey-drinking, lying there, insatiable, a pit — the fierce one took in his greatness. Footless, devouring, the one of hostile speech, he crushed down in his own dwelling with the great weapon.

RV 5 32.9

को अस्य शुष्मꣳ तविषीꣳ वरात एको धना भरते अप्रतीतः । इमे चिद् अस्य ज्रयसो नु देवी इन्द्रस्यौजसो भियसा जिहाते

Who shall hold back his fury and his might? Alone, unopposed, he carries off the stakes. Even these two goddesses (heaven and earth) now give way out of fear of his onrush, of Indra's strength.

For him the divine axe gave way; the path yielded to Indra like a willing (woman). When he joins all his strength with these, the settlements bow before the self-powerful one.

एकꣳ नु त्वा सत्पतिम् पाञ्चजन्यꣳ जातꣳ शृणोमि यशसꣳ जनेषु । तम् मे जगृभ्र आशसो नविष्ठꣳ दोषा वस्तोर् हवमानास इन्द्रम्

एवा हि त्वाम् ऋतुथा यातयन्तम् मघा विप्रेभ्यो ददतꣳ शृणोमि । किꣳ ते ब्रह्माणो गृहते सखायो ये त्वाया निदधुः कामम् इन्द्र

evā hi tvām ṛtuthā yātayantam maghā viprebhyo dadataṁ śṛṇomi | kiṁ te brahmāṇo gṛhate sakhāyo ye tvāyā nidadhuḥ kāmam indra

For thus do I hear of you as one who sets (things) in order in due season, giving bounties to the inspired singers. What do your priests, your comrades, get, who have laid their desire upon you, Indra?
