Rig Veda Mandala 8
Rig Veda Mandala 8
Hymn 14:
Mantra:
अम॑न्म॒हीद॑ना॒शवो॑ऽनु॒ग्रास॑श्च वृत्रहन् ।
स॒कृत्सु ते॑ मह॒ता शू॑र॒ राध॑सा॒ अनु॒ स्तोमं॑ मुदीमहि ॥
Meaning:
1. IF I, O Indra, were, like thee, the single Sovran of all wealth,
My worshipper should be rich in kine.
2. I should be fain, O Lord of Power, to strengthen and enrich the sage,
Were I the Lord of herds of kine.
3. To worshippers who press the juice thy goodness, Indra, is a cow
Yielding in plenty kine and steeds.
4. None is there, Indra, God or man, to hinder thy munificence,
The wealth which, lauded, thou wilt give.
5. The sacrifice made Indra strong when he unrolled the earth, and made
Himself a diadem in heaven.
6. Thine aid we claim, O Indra, thine who after thou hast waxen great
Hast won all treasures for thine own.
7. In Soma's ecstasy Indra spread the firmament and realms of light,
When he cleft Vala limb from limb.
8. Showing the hidden he drave forth the cows for the Angirases,
And Vala he cast headlong down.
9. By Indra were the luminous realms of heaven established and secured,
Firm and immovable from their place.
10. Indra, thy laud moves quickly like a joyous wave of water-floods:
Bright shine the drops that gladden thee.
11. For thou, O Indra, art the God whom hymns and praises magnify:
Thou blessest those who worship thee.
12. Let the two long-maned Bay Steeds bring Indra to drink the Soma juice,
The Bountiful to our sacrifice.
13. With waters' foam thou torest off, Indra, the head of Namuci,
Subduing all contending hosts.
14. The Dasyus, when they fain would climb
by magic arts and mount to heaven,
Thou, Indra, castest down to earth.
15. As Soma-drinker conquering all, thou scatteredst to every side
Their settlement who poured no gifts.
