i̱mām ū̱ ṣu prabhṛ̍tiṁ sā̱taye̍ dhā̱ḥ śaśva̍c-chaśvad ū̱tibhi̱r yāda̍mānaḥ |
su̱te-su̍te vāvṛdhe̱ vardha̍nebhi̱r yaḥ karma̍bhir ma̱hadbhi̱ḥ suśru̍to̱ bhūt ||

WITH constant succours, fain thyself to share it, make this oblation which we bring effective. Grown great through strengthening gifts at each libation, he hath become renowned by mighty exploits.

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

3.36.2

indrā̍ya̱ somā̍ḥ pra̱divo̱ vidā̍nā ṛ̱bhur yebhi̱r vṛṣa̍parvā̱ vihā̍yāḥ |
pra̱ya̱myamā̍nā̱n prati̱ ṣū gṛ̍bhā̱yendra̱ piba̱ vṛṣa̍dhūtasya̱ vṛṣṇa̍ḥ ||

For Indra were the Somas erst- discovered, whereby he grew strong-jointed, vast, and skilful. Indra , take quickly these presented juices: drink of the strong, that which the strong have shaken.

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

3.36.3

pibā̱ vardha̍sva̱ tava̍ ghā su̱tāsa̱ indra̱ somā̍saḥ pratha̱mā u̱teme |

Drink and wax great. Thine are the juices, Indra, both Somas of old time and these we bring thee. Even as thou drankest, Indra, earlier Somas, so drink to-day, a new guest, meet for praises.

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

3.36.4

nāha̍ vivyāca pṛthi̱vī ca̱naina̱ṁ yat somā̍so̱ harya̍śva̱m ama̍ndan ||

Great and impetuous, mighty-voiced in battle, surpassing power is his, and strength resistless. Him the broad earth hath never comprehended when Somas cheered the Lord of Tawny Coursers.

ma̱hām̐ u̱gro vā̍vṛdhe vī̱ryā̍ya sa̱māca̍kre vṛṣa̱bhaḥ kāvye̍na |
indro̱ bhago̍ vāja̱dā a̍sya̱ gāva̱ḥ pra jā̍yante̱ dakṣi̍ṇā asya pū̱rvīḥ ||

Mighty and strong he waxed for hero exploit: the Bull was furnished a Sage's wisdom. Indra is our kind Lord; his steers have vigour; his cows are many with abundant offspring.

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

3.36.6

pra yat sindha̍vaḥ prasa̱vaṁ yathāya̱nn āpa̍ḥ samu̱draṁ ra̱thye̍va jagmuḥ |
ata̍ś ci̱d indra̱ḥ sada̍so̱ varī̍yā̱n yad ī̱ṁ soma̍ḥ pṛ̱ṇati̍ du̱gdho a̱ṁśuḥ ||

As floods according to their stream flow onward, so to the sea, as borne on cars, the waters. Vaster is Indra even than his dwelling, what time the stalk milked out, the Soma, fills him.

3.36.7

sa̱mu̱dreṇa̱ sindha̍vo̱ yāda̍mānā̱ indrā̍ya̱ soma̱ṁ suṣu̍ta̱m bhara̍ntaḥ |
a̱ṁśuṁ du̍hanti ha̱stino̍ bha̱ritrai̱r madhva̍ḥ punanti̱ dhāra̍yā pa̱vitrai̍ḥ ||

Eager to mingle with the sea, the rivers carry the well-pressed Soma juice to Indra. They drain the stalk out with their arms, quick-banded, and cleanse it with a stream of mead and filters.

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

annā̱ yad indra̍ḥ pratha̱mā vy āśa̍ vṛ̱traṁ ja̍gha̱nvām̐ a̍vṛṇīta̱ soma̍m ||

Like lakes appear his flanks filled full with Soma: yea, he contains libations in abundance. When Indra had consumed the first sweet viands, he, after slaying Vṛitra, claimed the Soma.

3.36.9

ā tū bha̍ra̱ māki̍r e̱tat pari̍ ṣṭhād vi̱dmā hi tvā̱ vasu̍pati̱ṁ vasū̍nām |
indra̱ yat te̱ māhi̍na̱ṁ datra̱m asty a̱smabhya̱ṁ tad dha̍ryaśva̱ pra ya̍ndhi ||

Then bring thou hither, and let none prevent it: we know thee well, the Lord of wealth and treasure. That splendid gift which is thine own, O Indra, vouchsafe to us, Lord of the Tawny Coursers.

O Indra, Maghavan, impetuous mover, grant us abundant wealth that brings all blessings. Give us a hundred autumns for our lifetime: give us, O fair-checked Indra, store of heroes.

śṛ̱ṇvanta̍m u̱gram ū̱taye̍ sa̱matsu̱ ghnanta̍ṁ vṛ̱trāṇi̍ sa̱ṁjita̱ṁ dhanā̍nām ||

Call we on Indra, Maghavan, auspicious, best Hero in the fight where spoil is gathered, The Strong, who listens, who gives aid in battles, who slays the Vṛitras, wins and gathers riches.
