ऋग्वेद 1.129 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

यं त्वं रथमिन्द्र मेधसातयेऽपाका सन्तमिषिर प्रणयसि प्रानवद्य नयसि । सद्यश्चित्तमभिष्टये करो वशश्च वाजिनम् । सास्माकमनवद्य तूतुजान वेधसामिमां वाचं न वेधसाम् ॥

yaṃ tvaṃ rathamindra medhasātaye'pākā santamiṣira praṇayasi prānavadya nayasi | sadyaścittamabhiṣṭaye karo vaśaśca vājinam | sāsmākamanavadya tūtujāna vedhasāmimāṃ vācaṃ na vedhasām ||

Indra, frequenter of sacrifices, quickly enable him to attain his desires, to whom you repair in your car to receive the oblation; and for whom, as he is mature (in understanding) and devout, you who are without fault, entertain regard. Accept his offering, for you who are without fault, are prompt to favour us (among) the pious (offerrs of oblations) as (you accept) this our praise.

स श्रुधि यः स्मा पृतनासु कासु चिद्दक्षाय्य इन्द्र भरहूतये नृभिरसि प्रतूर्तये नृभिः । यः शूरैः स्वः सनिता यो विप्रैर्वाजं तरुता । तमीशानास इरधन्त वाजिनं पृक्षमत्यं न वाजिनम् ॥

sa śrudhi yaḥ smā pṛtanāsu kāsu ciddakṣāyya indra bharahūtaye nṛbhirasi pratūrtaye nṛbhiḥ | yaḥ śūraiḥ svaḥ sanitā yo viprairvājaṃ tarutā | tamīśānāsa iradhanta vājinaṃ pṛkṣamatyaṃ na vājinam ||

Hear our invocation, Indra; you who in various battles (associated) with the Maruts, are animated through their encouragement; (and are able), with the Maruts, to destroy (your foes); (for you are) he, who, (aided) by heroes, are of yourself the giver (of victory); or, (when praised) by the pious, the giver of food, and whom the lords (of prayer) celebrate as swift-moving and eager (for sacrificial food), like a fleet courser (eager for forage).

दस्मो हि ष्मा वृषणं पिन्वसि त्वचं कं चिद्यावीरररुं शूर मर्त्यं परिवृणक्षि मर्त्यम् । इन्द्रोत तुभ्यं तद्दिवे तद्रुद्राय स्वयशसे । मित्राय वोचं वरुणाय सप्रथः सुमृऴीकाय सप्रथः ॥

dasmo hi ṣmā vṛṣaṇaṃ pinvasi tvacaṃ kaṃ cidyāvīrararuṃ śūra martyaṃ parivṛṇakṣi martyam | indrota tubhyaṃ taddive tadrudrāya svayaśase | mitrāya vocaṃ varuṇāya saprathaḥ sumṛḻīkāya saprathaḥ ||

You, the subduer (of adversaries), pierce every rain (confining) skin; you overtake, hero, every flying mortal (cloud), and abandon (it) when exhausted (of its water) for such glorious deed, Indra, I offer praise to you; to heaven; to the self-glorifying Rudra; to Mitra; (to each) the benefactor (of mankind) for such glorious (deed).

अस्माकं व इन्द्रमुश्मसीष्टये सखायं विश्वायुं प्रासहं युजं वाजेषु प्रासहं युजम् । अस्माकं ब्रह्मोतयेऽवा पृत्सुषु कासु चित् । नहि त्वा शत्रुः स्तरतेः स्तृणोषि यं विश्वं शत्रुं: स्तृणोषि यम् ॥

asmākaṃ va indramuśmasīṣṭaye sakhāyaṃ viśvāyuṃ prāsahaṃ yujaṃ vājeṣu prāsahaṃ yujam | asmākaṃ brahmotaye'vā pṛtsuṣu kāsu cit | nahi tvā śatruḥ starateḥ stṛṇoṣi yaṃ viśvaṃ śatruṃ: stṛṇoṣi yam ||

We desire, (priests), Indra to be present at your sacrifice, (he who is) our friend, the frequenter of all (ceremonies), the endurer (of enemies), the ally (of his worshippers), the patient expecter of (sacrificial) viands, associated (with the Maruts); do you, Indra, guard our holy rite for our preservation, for in whatsoever contests (you may engage), no enemy whom you oppose, prevails against you; you prevail over every enemy whom (you oppose).

नि षू नमातिमतिं कयस्य चित्तेजिष्ठाभिररणिभिर्नोतिभिरुग्राभिरुग्रोतिभिः । नेषि णो यथा पुरानेनाः शूर मन्यसे । विश्वानि पूरोरप पर्षि वह्निरासा वह्निर्नो अच्छ ॥

ni ṣū namātimatiṃ kayasya cittejiṣṭhābhiraraṇibhirnotibhirugrābhirugrotibhiḥ | neṣi ṇo yathā purānenāḥ śūra manyase | viśvāni pūrorapa parṣi vahnirāsā vahnirno accha ||

Humble the adversary of every one (your worshippers) fierce (Indra), by your aids, like radiant paths, (to glory); by your powerful aids, gude us, hero, as you have guided our forefathers, for you are honoured (by all). You (Indra), who are the sustainer (of the world), remove all (the sins) of man; present at our sacrifice, you are the bearer (of good things).

प्र तद्वोचेयं भव्यायेन्दवे हव्यो न य इषवान्मन्म रेजति रक्षोहा मन्म रेजति । स्वयं सो अस्मदा निदो वधैरजेत दुर्मतिम् । अव स्रवेदघशंसोऽवतरमव क्षुद्रमिव स्रवेत् ॥

pra tadvoceyaṃ bhavyāyendave havyo na ya iṣavānmanma rejati rakṣohā manma rejati | svayaṃ so asmadā nido vadhairajeta durmatim | ava sravedaghaśaṃso'vataramava kṣudramiva sravet ||

May I be competent to utter (praise) for the (Soma) libation, sustaining existence, which, like the (deity) to be invoked, (Indra), goes abounding with food to (each) venerable (rite); the destroyer (of rākṣasas) at (each) venerable (rite). May that (libation) of itself repress with chastisement the malevolence of him who reviles us; let the thief fall downwards (and perish), like a little (water) running down (a declivity).

वनेम तद्धोत्रया चितन्त्या वनेम रयिं रयिवः सुवीर्यं रण्वं सन्तं सुवीर्यम् । दुर्मन्मानं सुमन्तुभिरेमिषा पृचीमहि । आ सत्याभिरिन्द्रं द्युम्नहूतिभिर्यजत्रं द्युम्नहूतिभिः ॥

vanema taddhotrayā citantyā vanema rayiṃ rayivaḥ suvīryaṃ raṇvaṃ santaṃ suvīryam | durmanmānaṃ sumantubhiremiṣā pṛcīmahi | ā satyābhirindraṃ dyumnahūtibhiryajatraṃ dyumnahūtibhiḥ ||

We praise, you, Indra, with praises, making known (your glory); we solicit, giver of riches, the wealth that bestows vigour, that is agreeable, durable, and the support of progeny. May we (ever) be possessed of (abundant) food, through the praises of you, whom it is difficult adequately to honour; may we attain the adorable (Indra) by true and earnest invocations; by invocations, (offering sacrificial) food.

प्रप्रा वो अस्मे स्वयशोभिरूती परिवर्ग इन्द्रो दुर्मतीनां दरीमन्दुर्मतीनाम् । स्वयं सा रिषयध्यै या न उपेषे अत्रैः । हतेमसन्न वक्षति क्षिप्ता जूर्णिर्न वक्षति ॥

praprā vo asme svayaśobhirūtī parivarga indro durmatīnāṃ darīmandurmatīnām | svayaṃ sā riṣayadhyai yā na upeṣe atraiḥ | hatemasanna vakṣati kṣiptā jūrṇirna vakṣati ||

Indra is powerful in discomfiture of the malevolent by his self-glorifying aids, (granted) unto you and unto us; (he is) the tearer o fthe malevolent (to pieces); the impetuous ogre that was sent against us by devouring (foes) to destroy us, has been itself destroyed; it will not reach us; it will not do us harm.

त्वं न इन्द्र राया परीणसा याहि पथाँ अनेहसा पुरो याह्यरक्षसा । सचस्व नः पराक आ सचस्वास्तमीक आ । पाहि नो दूरादारादभिष्टिभिः सदा पाह्यभिष्टिभिः ॥

tvaṃ na indra rāyā parīṇasā yāhi pathā~ anehasā puro yāhyarakṣasā | sacasva naḥ parāka ā sacasvāstamīka ā | pāhi no dūrādārādabhiṣṭibhiḥ sadā pāhyabhiṣṭibhiḥ ||

Do you, Indra, come to us with abundant riches by a path free from evil; (by a path) unobstructed by rākṣasas; be with us when afar; be with us when nigh; favour us, whether afar or nigh, with the objects of our desires; ever favour us with the objects of our desires.

त्वं न इन्द्र राया तरूषसोग्रं चित्त्वा महिमा सक्षदवसे महे मित्रं नावसे । ओजिष्ठ त्रातरविता रथं कं चिदमर्त्य । अन्यमस्मद्रिरिषेः कं चिदद्रिवो रिरिक्षन्तं चिदद्रिवः ॥

tvaṃ na indra rāyā tarūṣasograṃ cittvā mahimā sakṣadavase mahe mitraṃ nāvase | ojiṣṭha trātaravitā rathaṃ kaṃ cidamartya | anyamasmadririṣeḥ kaṃ cidadrivo ririkṣantaṃ cidadrivaḥ ||

Do you, Indra, (sustain us) with wealth that transports (man beyond calamity); for, (enhanced) greatness accrues to you, however mighty, (from our thanks) for (your) protection, as it does to Mitra for his powerful protection, most potent and immortal (Indra), our defender and preserver, (ascend) some chariot, (and come hither); devourer (of foes), repel any one assailing us; any one assailing us, devourer (of foes).

पाहि न इन्द्र सुष्टुत स्रिधोऽवयाता सदमिद्दुर्मतीनां देवः सन्दुर्मतीनाम् । हन्ता पापस्य रक्षसस्त्राता विप्रस्य मावतः । अधा हि त्वा जनिता जीजनद्वसो रक्षोहणं त्वा जीजनद्वसो ॥

pāhi na indra suṣṭuta sridho'vayātā sadamiddurmatīnāṃ devaḥ sandurmatīnām | hantā pāpasya rakṣasastrātā viprasya māvataḥ | adhā hi tvā janitā jījanadvaso rakṣohaṇaṃ tvā jījanadvaso ||

Deservedly-lauded Indra, preserve us from suffering; for you are always verily the chastiser of the malevolent; your, being divine, (are the chastiser) of the malevolent; (you are) the slayer of the wicked rakṣas, the preserver of a pious (worshipper), such as I am; for asylum (of all men), the progenitor has begotten (for this purpose); has begotten you, asylum (of all men), the destroyer of the rākṣasas.
