Sukta 30

आ नो देव शवसा याहि शुष्मिन्भवा वृध इन्द्र रायो अस्य। महे नृम्णाय नृपते सुवज्र महि क्षत्राय पौंस्याय शूर॥

ā no deva śavasā yāhi śuṣminbhavā vṛdha indra rāyo asya | mahe nṛmṇāya nṛpate suvajra mahi kṣatrāya pauṁsyāya śūra ||

WITH power and strength, O Mighty God, approach us: be the augmenter, Indra, of these riches; Strong Thunderer, Lord of men, for potent valour, for manly exploit and for high dominion.

हवन्त उ त्वा हव्यं विवाचि तनूषु शूराः सूर्यस्य सातौ। त्वं विश्वेषु सेन्यो जनेषु त्वं वृत्राणि रन्धया सुहन्तु॥

havanta u tvā havyaṁ vivāci tanūṣu śūrāḥ sūryasya sātau | tvaṁ viśveṣu senyo janeṣu tvaṁ vṛtrāṇi randhayā suhantu ||

Thee, worth invoking, in the din of battle, heroes invoke in fray for life and sunlight. Among all people thou art foremost fighter: give up our enemies to easy slaughter.

अहा यदिन्द्र सुदिना व्युच्छान्दधो यत्केतुमुपमं समत्सु। न्यग्निः सीददसुरो न होता हुवानो अत्र सुभगाय देवान्॥

ahā yadindra sudinā vyucchāndadho yatketumupamaṁ samatsu | nyagniḥ sīdadasuro na hotā huvāno atra subhagāya devān ||

When fair bright days shall dawn on us, O Indra, and thou shalt bring thy banner near in battle, Agni the Asura shall sit as Herald, calling Gods hither for our great good fortune.

वयं ते त इन्द्र ये च देव स्तवन्त शूर ददतो मघानि। यच्छा सूरिभ्य उपमं वरूथं स्वाभुवो जरणामश्नवन्त॥

vayaṁ te ta indra ye ca deva stavanta śūra dadato maghāni | yacchā sūribhya upamaṁ varūthaṁ svābhuvo jaraṇāmaśnavanta ||

Thine are we, Indra, thine, both these who praise thee, and those who give rich gifts, O God and Hero. Grant to our princes excellent protection, may they wax old and still be strong and happy.

वोचेमेदिन्द्रं मघवानमेनं महो रायो राधसो यद्ददन्नः। यो अर्चतो ब्रह्मकृतिमविष्ठो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

vocemedindraṁ maghavānamenaṁ maho rāyo rādhaso yaddadannaḥ | yo arcato brahmakṛtimaviṣṭho yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

We will address this liberal Lord, this Indra that he may grant us gifts of ample riches: Best favourer of the singer's prayer and praises. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
