1.57.1

pra maṁhi̍ṣṭhāya bṛha̱te bṛ̱hadra̍ye sa̱tyaśu̍ṣmāya ta̱vase̍ ma̱tim bha̍re |
a̱pām i̍va prava̱ṇe yasya̍ du̱rdhara̱ṁ rādho̍ vi̱śvāyu̱ śava̍se̱ apā̍vṛtam ||

To him most liberal, lofty Lord of lofty wealth, verily powerful and strong, I bring my hymn,– Whose checkless bounty, as of waters down a slope, is spread abroad for all that live, to give them strength.

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

1.57.2

adha̍ te̱ viśva̱m anu̍ hāsad i̱ṣṭaya̱ āpo̍ ni̱mneva̱ sava̍nā ha̱viṣma̍taḥ |
yat parva̍te̱ na sa̱maśī̍ta harya̱ta indra̍sya̱ vajra̱ḥ śnathi̍tā hira̱ṇyaya̍ḥ ||

Now all this world, for worship, shall come after thee-the offerer's libations like floods to the depth, When the well-loved one seems to rest upon the hill, the thunderbolt of Indra, shatterer wrought of gold.

1.57.3

a̱smai bhī̱māya̱ nama̍sā̱ sam a̍dhva̱ra uṣo̱ na śu̍bhra̱ ā bha̍rā̱ panī̍yase |
yasya̱ dhāma̱ śrava̍se̱ nāme̍ndri̱yaṁ jyoti̱r akā̍ri ha̱rito̱ nāya̍se ||

To him the terrible, most meet for lofty praise, like bright Dawn, now bring gifts with reverence in this rite, Whose being, for renown, yea, Indra-power and light, have been created, like bay steeds, to move with speed.

na̱hi tvad a̱nyo gi̍rvaṇo̱ gira̱ḥ sagha̍t kṣo̱ṇīr i̍va̱ prati̍ no harya̱ tad vaca̍ḥ ||

Thine, Indra, praised by many, excellently rich! are we who trusting in thy help draw near to thee. Lover of praise, none else but thou receives our laud: as earth loves all her creatures, love thou this our hymn.

Great is thy power, O Indra, we are thine. Fulfil, O Maghavan, the wish of this thy worshipper. After thee lofty heaven hath measured out its strength: to thee and to thy power this earth hath bowed itself.

1.57.6

tvaṁ tam i̍ndra̱ parva̍tam ma̱hām u̱ruṁ vajre̍ṇa vajrin parva̱śaś ca̍kartitha |
avā̍sṛjo̱ nivṛ̍tā̱ḥ sarta̱vā a̱paḥ sa̱trā viśva̍ṁ dadhiṣe̱ keva̍la̱ṁ saha̍ḥ ||

Thou, who hast thunder for thy weapon, with thy bolt hast shattered into pieces this broad massive cloud. Thou hast sent down the obstructed floods that they may flow: thou hast, thine own for ever, all victorious might.

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