Ṛgveda · Sūkta 1.4

1.4.1

सु॒रू॒प॒कृ॒त्नुमू॒तये॑ सु॒दुघा॑मिव गो॒दुहे॑ ।
जु॒हू॒मसि॒ द्यवि॑द्यवि ॥

Day after day we call upon Indra, the maker of fair forms, for our aid, as one calls a cow that is easy to milk for the milker.

उप॑ नः॒ सव॒ना ग॑हि॒ सोम॑स्य सोमपाः पिब ।
गो॒दा इद्रे॒वतो॒ मदः॑ ॥

Come near to our rites, O soma-drinker, and drink of the soma; the exhilaration of the wealthy one is indeed that of the giver of cows.

अथा॑ ते॒ अन्त॑मानां वि॒द्याम॑ सुमती॒नाम् ।
मा नो॒ अति॑ ख्य॒ आ ग॑हि ॥

Then may we attain your nearest good thoughts. Do not overlook us; come here, come.

परे॑हि॒ विग्र॒मस्तृ॑त॒मिन्द्रं॑ पृच्छा विप॒श्चित॑म् ।
यस्ते॒ सखि॑भ्य॒ आ वर॑म् ॥

Go forth to Indra, the unobstructed hero; ask the one of deep wisdom, who grants boons to his friends.

उ॒त ब्रु॑वन्तु नो॒ निदो॒ निर॒न्यत॑श्चिदारत ।
दधा॑ना॒ इन्द्र॒ इद्दुवः॑ ॥

Let them speak for us, and let them come even from elsewhere, placing their offerings in Indra.

उ॒त नः॑ सु॒भगाँ॑ अ॒रिर्वो॒चेयु॑र्दस्म कृ॒ष्टयः॑ ।
स्यामेदिन्द्र॑स्य॒ शर्म॑णि ॥

And may the foe declare us fortunate; O destroyer, may we indeed be in the shelter of Indra.

एमा॒शुमा॒शवे॑ भर यज्ञ॒श्रियं॑ नृ॒माद॑नम् ।
प॒त॒यन्म॑न्द॒यत्स॑खम् ॥

Bring here the swift Soma, the glory of the sacrifice, who gladdens men; he hastens forth as the delighting friend.

अ॒स्य पी॒त्वा श॑तक्रतो घ॒नो वृ॒त्राणा॑मभवः ।
प्रावो॒ वाजे॑षु वा॒जिन॑म् ॥

O Indra of a hundred deeds, having drunk of this, you became the smiter of the Vritras; in the contests you protected the strong one.

तं त्वा॒ वाजे॑षु वा॒जिनं॑ वा॒जया॑मः शतक्रतो ।
धना॑नामिन्द्र सा॒तये॑ ॥

O Indra of a hundred deeds, we urge you, the strong one, in the contests, for winning riches, O Indra.

यो रा॒यो॑ऽवनि॑र्म॒हान्त्सु॑पा॒रः सु॑न्व॒तः सखा॑ ।
तस्मा॒ इन्द्रा॑य गायत ॥

Sing for that Indra, who is the giver of riches, the great, the excellent, the friend of the one who presses Soma.
