8 Ye Sovrans of the Forest, both swift, with swift pressers press to-day

Sweet Soma juice for Indra's drink.

9 Take up in beakers what remains: the Soma on the filter pour,

and on the ox-hide set the dregs.

1.1.29 Mantra 29 – Indra (Authors: Sunahsepa Ajigarti; later Devarata Vaisvamitra)

1 O SOMA DRINKER, ever true, utterly hopeless though we be,

Do thou, O Indra, give us hope of beauteous horses and of kine,

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

2 O Lord of Strength, whose jaws are strong, great deeds are thine, the powerful:

Do thou, O Indra, give us hope of beauteous horses and of kine,

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

3 Lull thou asleep, to wake no more, the pair who on each other look

Do thou, O Indra, give us, help of beauteous horses and of kine,

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

4 Hero, let hostile spirits sleep, and every gentler genius wake:

Do thou, O Indra,. give us hope of beauteous horses and of kine,

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

5 Destroy this ass, O Indra, who in tones discordant brays to thee:

Do thou, O Indra, give us hope of beauteous horses and of kine,

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

6 Far distant on the forest fall the tempest in a circling course!

Do thou, O Indra, give us hope of beauteous horses and of kine,

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

7 Slay each reviler, and destroy him who in secret injures us:

Do thou, O Indra, give us hope of beauteous horses and of kine

In thousands, O most wealthy One.

1.1.30 Mantra 30 – Indra (Authors: Sunahsepa Ajigarti; later Devarata Vaisvamitra)

1 WE seeking strength with Soma-drops fill full your Indra like a well,

Most liberal, Lord of Hundred Powers,

2 Who lets a hundred of the pure, a thousand of the milk-blent draughts

Flow, even as down a depth, to him;

3 When for the strong, the rapturous joy he in this manner hath made room

Within his belly, like the sea.

4 This is thine own. Thou drawest near, as turns a pigeon to his mate:

Thou carest too for this our prayer.

5 O Hero, Lord of Bounties, praised in hymns, may power and joyfulness

Be his who sings the laud to thee.

6 Lord of a Hundred Powers, stand up to lend us succour in this fight

In others too let us agree.

7 In every need, in every fray we call as friends to succour us

Indra the mightiest of all.

8 If he will hear us let him come with succour of a thousand kinds,

And all that strengthens, to our call.

9 I call him mighty to resist, the Hero of our ancient home,

Thee whom my sire invoked of old.

10 We pray to thee, O much-invoked, rich in all prccious gifts, O Friend,

Kind God to those who sing thy praise.

11 O Soma-drinker, Thunder-armed, Friend of our lovely-featured dames

Ano Bhadraha Kritavayo Yantu Vishwataha (Let noble thoughts come from every side) – Rg Veda

69

Vishva Dharma ki Jay! (Victory to Universal Dharma!)

And of our Soma-drinking friends.

12 Thus, Soma-drinker, may it be; thus, Friend, who wieldest thunder, act

To aid each wish as we desire.

13 With Indra splendid feasts be ours, rich in all strengthening things wherewith,

Wealthy in food, we may rejoice.

14 Like thee, thyself, the singers' Friend, thou movest, as it were, besought,

Bold One, the axle of the car.

15 That, Satakratu, thou to grace and please thy praisers, as it were,

Stirrest the axle with thy strength.

16 With champing, neighing loudly-snorting horses Indra hath ever won himself great treasures

A car of gold hath he whose deeds are wondrous received from us, and let us too receive it.

17 Come, Asvins, with enduring strength wealthy in horses and in kine,

And gold, O ye of wondrous deeds.

18 Your chariot yoked for both alike, immortal, ye of mighty acts,

Travels, O Aivins, in the sea.

19 High on the forehead of the Bull one chariot wheel ye ever keep,

The other round the sky revolves.

20 What mortal, O immortal Dawn, enjoyeth thee? Where lovest thou?

To whom, O radiant, dost thou go?

21 For we have had thee in our thoughts whether anear or far away,

Red-hued and like a dappled mare.

22 Hither, O Daughter of the Sky, come thou with these thy strengthenings,

And send thou riches down to us.

1.1.31 Mantra 31 – Agni (Author: Hiranyastupa Angiras)

1 Thou, Agni, wast the earliest Angiras, a Seer; thou wast, a God thyself, the Gods' auspicious Friend.

After thy holy ordinance the Maruts, sage, active through wisdom, -with their glittering spears, were

born.

2 O Agni, thou, the best and earliest Angiras, fulfillest as a Sage the holy law of Gods.

Sprung from two mothers, wise, through all existence spread, resting in many a place for sake of living

man.

3 To Matarisvan first thou, Agni, wast disclosed, and to Vivasvan through thy noble inward power.

Heaven and Earth, Vasu! shook at the choosing of the Priest: the burthen thou didst bear, didst worship

mighty Gods.

4 Agni thou madest heaven to thunder for mankind; thou, yet more pious, for pious Pururavas.

When thou art rapidly freed from thy parents, first eastward they bear thee round, and, after, to the

west.

5 Thou, Agni, art a Bull who makes our store increase, to be invoked by him who lifts the ladle up.

Well knowing the oblation with the hallowing word, uniting all who live, thou lightenest first our folk

6 Agni, thou savest in the synod when pursued e'en him, farseeing One! who walks in evil ways.

Thou, when the heroes fight for spoil which men rush, round, slayest in war the many by the hands of

few.

7 For glory, Agni, day by day, thou liftest up the mortal man to highest immortality,

Even thou who yearning for both races givest them great bliss, and to the prince grantest abundant
