ऋग्वेद 1.178 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

यद्ध स्या त इन्द्र श्रुष्टिरस्ति यया बभूथ जरितृभ्य ऊती । मा नः कामं महयन्तमा धग्विश्वा ते अश्यां पर्याप आयोः ॥

yaddha syā ta indra śruṣṭirasti yayā babhūtha jaritṛbhya ūtī | mā naḥ kāmaṃ mahayantamā dhagviśvā te aśyāṃ paryāpa āyoḥ ||

Inasmuch, Indra, as the praise by which you are (induced to bestow) protection on your adorers is heard (by all), therefore disappoint not the desire (that would raise us) to greatness; may I obtain, through your (favour), all things that are obtainable by man.

न घा राजेन्द्र आ दभन्नो या नु स्वसारा कृणवन्त योनौ । आपश्चिदस्मै सुतुका अवेषन्गमन्न इन्द्रः सख्या वयश्च ॥

na ghā rājendra ā dabhanno yā nu svasārā kṛṇavanta yonau | āpaścidasmai sutukā aveṣangamanna indraḥ sakhyā vayaśca ||

Let not the royal Indra frustrate those our actions, which the sisters, (Day and Night), are directing to their object. May these invigorating offerings propitiate hi, so that he may bestow upon us friendly (regard), and (abundant) food.

जेता नृभिरिन्द्रः पृत्सु शूरः श्रोता हवं नाधमानस्य कारोः । प्रभर्ता रथं दाशुष उपाक उद्यन्ता गिरो यदि च त्मना भूत् ॥

jetā nṛbhirindraḥ pṛtsu śūraḥ śrotā havaṃ nādhamānasya kāroḥ | prabhartā rathaṃ dāśuṣa upāka udyantā giro yadi ca tmanā bhūt ||

Indra, the hero, the victor in battles, along with the leaders (of his hosts, the Maruts), will hear the invocation of his supplicating worshipper, and when disposed to accept his praises, will, of his own accord, drive his chariot close to the donor (of the oblation).

एवा नृभिरिन्द्रः सुश्रवस्या प्रखादः पृक्षो अभि मित्रिणो भूत् । समर्य इषः स्तवते विवाचि सत्राकरो यजमानस्य शंसः ॥

evā nṛbhirindraḥ suśravasyā prakhādaḥ pṛkṣo abhi mitriṇo bhūt | samarya iṣaḥ stavate vivāci satrākaro yajamānasya śaṃsaḥ ||

Verily, Indra through desire of (sacrificial) food, is the devourer (of that which is presented) by (his) worshippers, and overcomes (the adversaries) of his friend; in the many-voiced assembly (of men), Indra, the faithful (performer of his promise), commending (the piety) of his worshipper, approves of the (offered) food.

त्वया वयं मघवन्निन्द्र शत्रूनभि ष्याम महतो मन्यमानान् । त्वं त्राता त्वमु नो वृधे भूर्विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥

tvayā vayaṃ maghavannindra śatrūnabhi ṣyāma mahato manyamānān | tvaṃ trātā tvamu no vṛdhe bhūrvidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||

By you, opulent Indra, may we overcome our mighty and formidable enemies; you are our protector; may you be propitious to our prosperity, that we may thence obtain food, strength and long life.
