RV 6 34.1
सꣳ च त्वे जग्मुर् गिर इन्द्र पूर्वीर् वि च त्वद् यन्ति विभ्वो मनीषाः । पुरा नूनꣳ च स्तुतय ऋषीणाम् पस्पृध्र इन्द्रे अध्य् उक्थार्का
saṁ ca tve jagmur gira indra pūrvīr vi ca tvad yanti vibhvo manīṣāḥ | purā nūnaṁ ca stutaya ṛṣīṇām paspṛdhra indre adhy ukthārkā
Many songs have come together in thee, Indra, and abundant thoughts go forth from thee; both formerly and now the praises of the ṛṣis, the recited verses and the chants, have contended over Indra.

FULL Many songs have met in thee, O Indra, and many a noble thought from thee proceedeth. Now and of old the eulogies of sages, their holy hymns and lauds, have yearned for Indra.

RV 6 34.2
पुरुहूतो यः पुरुगूर्त ऋभ्वाꣳ एकः पुरुप्रशस्तो अस्ति यज्ञैः । रथो न महे शवसे युजानो३ ऽस्माभिर् इन्द्रो अनुमाद्यो भूत्
puruhūto yaḥ purugūrta ṛbhvām̐ ekaḥ purupraśasto asti yajñaiḥ | ratho na mahe śavase yujāno3 'smābhir indro anumādyo bhūt
He who is invoked by many, welcomed by many, skilful, who alone is much lauded with sacrifices — Indra, yoking (himself) like a chariot for great might, is to be gladdened by us.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
He, praised of many, bold, invoked of many, alone is glorified at sacrifices. Like a car harnessed for some great achievement, Indra must be the cause of our rejoicing.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 6 34.3
न यꣳ हिꣳसन्ति धीतयो न वाणीर् इन्द्रꣳ नक्षन्तीद् अभि वर्धयन्तीः । यदि स्तोतारः शतꣳ यत् सहस्रꣳ गृणन्ति गिर्वणसꣳ शꣳ तद् अस्मै
na yaṁ hiṁsanti dhītayo na vāṇīr indraṁ nakṣantīd abhi vardhayantīḥ | yadi stotāraḥ śataṁ yat sahasraṁ gṛṇanti girvaṇasaṁ śaṁ tad asmai
Indra, whom the devotions do not harm, nor the voices: they reach him and strengthen him; if a hundred, if a thousand praisers sing the lover of songs, that is a benefit to him.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
They make their way to Indra and exalt him, bim whom no prayers and no laudations trouble; For when a hundred or a thousand singers. laud him who loves the song their praise delights him.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 6 34.4
अस्मा एतद् दिव्य् अ१र्चेव मासा मिमिक्ष इन्द्रे न्य् अयामि सोमः । जनꣳ न धन्वन्न् अभि सꣳ यद् आपः सत्रा वावृधुर् हवनानि यज्ञैः
asmā etad divy a1rceva māsā mimikṣa indre ny ayāmi somaḥ | janaṁ na dhanvann abhi saṁ yad āpaḥ satrā vāvṛdhur havanāni yajñaiḥ
For him this (draught): as (the light) in heaven by the moon it has been mixed; to Indra the soma has been presented. As the waters (come) together toward a man in the desert, so the invocations with the sacrifices have altogether strengthened (him).
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
As brightness mingles with the Moon in heaven, the offered Soma yearns to mix with Indra. Like water brought to men in desert places, our gifts at sacrifice have still refreshed him.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 6 34.5
अस्मा एतन् मह्य् आङ्गूषम् अस्मा इन्द्राय स्तोत्रम् मतिभिर् अवाचि । असद् यथा महति वृत्रतूर्य इन्द्रो विश्वायुर् अविता वृधश् च
asmā etan mahy āṅgūṣam asmā indrāya stotram matibhir avāci | asad yathā mahati vṛtratūrya indro viśvāyur avitā vṛdhaś ca
For him this great song, for him, for Indra, this praise has been spoken with (our) thoughts, so that in the great overcoming of Vṛtra Indra may be a lifelong helper and strengthener.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
To him this mighty eulogy, to Indra hath this our laud been uttered by the poets, That in the great encounter with the foemen, Loved of all life, Indra may guard and help us.
