u̱bhe pu̍nāmi̱ roda̍sī ṛ̱tena̱ druho̍ dahāmi̱ sam ma̱hīr a̍ni̱ndrāḥ |
a̱bhi̱vlagya̱ yatra̍ ha̱tā a̱mitrā̍ vailasthā̱nam pari̍ tṛ̱ḻhā aśe̍ran ||

WITH sacrifice I purge both earth and heaven: I burn up great she-fiends who serve not Indra, Where throttled by thy hand the foes were slaughtered, and in the pit of death lay pierced and mangled.

apū̍ruṣaghno apratīta śūra̱ satva̍bhis trisa̱ptaiḥ śū̍ra̱ satva̍bhiḥ ||

Tear down the mighty ones. O Indra, hear thou us. For heaven hath glowed like earth in fear, O nunder-armed, as dreading fierce heat, Thunder-armed! Most Mighty mid the Mighty Ones thou speedest with strong bolts of death, Not slaying men, unconquered Hero with the brave, O Hero, with the thrice-seven brave.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.133.7

va̱noti̱ hi su̱nvan kṣaya̱m parī̍ṇasaḥ sunvā̱no hi ṣmā̱ yaja̱ty ava̱ dviṣo̍ de̱vānā̱m ava̱ dviṣa̍ḥ |
su̱nvā̱na it si̍ṣāsati sa̱hasrā̍ vā̱jy avṛ̍taḥ |
su̱nvā̱nāyendro̍ dadāty ā̱bhuva̍ṁ ra̱yiṁ da̍dāty ā̱bhuva̍m ||

The pourer of libations gains the home of wealth, pouring his gift conciliates hostilities, yea, the hostilities of Gods. Pouring, he strives, unchecked and strong, to win him riches thousandfold. Indra gives lasting wealth to him who pours forth gifts, yea, wealth he gives that long shall last.
