2.22.1

trika̍drukeṣu mahi̱ṣo yavā̍śiraṁ tuvi̱śuṣma̍s tṛ̱pat soma̍m apiba̱d viṣṇu̍nā su̱taṁ yathāva̍śat |
sa ī̍m mamāda̱ mahi̱ karma̱ karta̍ve ma̱hām u̱ruṁ saina̍ṁ saścad de̱vo de̱vaṁ sa̱tyam indra̍ṁ sa̱tya indu̍ḥ ||

At the Trikadrukas the Great and Strong hath drunk drink blent with meal. With Vishṇu hath he quaffed the poured out Soma juice, all that he would. That hath so heightened him the Great, the Wide, to do his mighty work. So may the God attain the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

2.22.2

adha̱ tviṣī̍mām̐ a̱bhy oja̍sā̱ krivi̍ṁ yu̱dhābha̍va̱d ā roda̍sī apṛṇad asya ma̱jmanā̱ pra vā̍vṛdhe |
adha̍ttā̱nyaṁ ja̱ṭhare̱ prem a̍ricyata̱ saina̍ṁ saścad de̱vo de̱vaṁ sa̱tyam indra̍ṁ sa̱tya indu̍ḥ ||

So he resplendent in the battle overcame Krivi by might. He with his majesty hath filled the earth and heaven, and waxen strong. One share of the libation hath he swallowed down: one share he left. So may the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

sā̱kaṁ jā̱taḥ kratu̍nā sā̱kam oja̍sā vavakṣitha sā̱kaṁ vṛ̱ddho vī̱ryai̍ḥ sāsa̱hir mṛdho̱ vica̍rṣaṇiḥ |
dātā̱ rādha̍ḥ stuva̱te kāmya̱ṁ vasu̱ saina̍ṁ saścad de̱vo de̱vaṁ sa̱tyam indra̍ṁ sa̱tya indu̍ḥ ||

Brought forth together with wisdom and mighty power thou grewest great; with hero deeds subduing the malevolent, most swift in act; Giving prosperity, and lovely wealth to him who praiseth thee. So may the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

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

2.22.4

tava̱ tyan narya̍ṁ nṛ̱to 'pa̍ indra pratha̱mam pū̱rvyaṁ di̱vi pra̱vācya̍ṁ kṛ̱tam |
yad de̱vasya̱ śava̍sā̱ prāri̍ṇā̱ asu̍ṁ ri̱ṇann a̱paḥ |
bhuva̱d viśva̍m a̱bhy āde̍va̱m oja̍sā vi̱dād ūrja̍ṁ śa̱takra̍tur vi̱dād iṣa̍m ||

This, Indra, was thy hero deed, Dancer, thy first and ancient work, worthy to be told forth in heaven, What time thou sentest down life with a God's own power, freeing the floods. All that is godless may he conquer with his might, and, Lord of Hundred Powers, find for us strength and food.

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