3.45.1

ā ma̱ndrair i̍ndra̱ hari̍bhir yā̱hi ma̱yūra̍romabhiḥ |
mā tvā̱ ke ci̱n ni ya̍ma̱n viṁ na pā̱śino 'ti̱ dhanve̍va̱ tām̐ i̍hi ||

COME hither, Indra, with Bay Steeds, joyous, with tails like peacocks' plumes. Let no men cheek thy course as fowlers stay the bird: pass o'er them as o'er desert lands.

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

3.45.2

vṛ̱tra̱khā̱do va̍laṁru̱jaḥ pu̱rāṁ da̱rmo a̱pām a̱jaḥ |
sthātā̱ ratha̍sya̱ haryo̍r abhisva̱ra indro̍ dṛ̱ḻhā ci̍d āru̱jaḥ ||

He who slew Vṛitra, burst the cloud, brake the strongholds and drave the floods, Indra who mounts his chariot at his Bay Steeds' cry, shatters e'en things that stand most firm.

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

3.45.3

ga̱mbhī̱rām̐ u̍da̱dhīm̐r i̍va̱ kratu̍m puṣyasi̱ gā i̍va |
pra su̍go̱pā yava̍saṁ dhe̱navo̍ yathā hra̱daṁ ku̱lyā i̍vāśata ||

Like pools of water deep and full, like kine thou cherishest thy might; Like the milch-cows that go well-guarded to the mead, like water-brooks that reach the lake.

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

3.45.4

ā na̱s tuja̍ṁ ra̱yim bha̱rāṁśa̱ṁ na pra̍tijāna̱te |
vṛ̱kṣam pa̱kvam phala̍m a̱ṅkīva̍ dhūnu̱hīndra̍ sa̱mpāra̍ṇa̱ṁ vasu̍ ||

Bring thou us wealth with power to strike, our share, 'gainst him who calls it his. Shake, Indra, as with hooks, the tree for ripened fruit, for wealth to satisfy our wish.

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

3.45.5

sva̱yur i̍ndra sva̱rāḻ a̍si̱ smaddi̍ṣṭi̱ḥ svaya̍śastaraḥ |
sa vā̍vṛdhā̱na oja̍sā puruṣṭuta̱ bhavā̍ naḥ su̱śrava̍stamaḥ ||

Indra, self-ruling Lord art thou, good Leader, of most glorious fame. So, waxen in thy strength, O thou whom many praise, be thou most swift to hear our call.

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