4.28.1

tvā yu̱jā tava̱ tat so̍ma sa̱khya indro̍ a̱po mana̍ve sa̱sruta̍s kaḥ |
aha̱nn ahi̱m ari̍ṇāt sa̱pta sindhū̱n apā̍vṛṇo̱d api̍hiteva̱ khāni̍ ||

ALLIED with thee, in this thy friendship, Soma, Indra for man made waters flow together, Slew Ahi, and sent forth the Seven Rivers, and opened as it were obstructed fountains.

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

4.28.2

tvā yu̱jā ni khi̍da̱t sūrya̱syendra̍ś ca̱kraṁ saha̍sā sa̱dya i̍ndo |
adhi̱ ṣṇunā̍ bṛha̱tā varta̍mānam ma̱ho dru̱ho apa̍ vi̱śvāyu̍ dhāyi ||

Indu, with thee for his confederate, Indra swiftly with might pressed down the wheel of Sûrya. What rolled, all life's support, on heaven's high summit was separated from the great oppressor.

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

4.28.3

aha̱nn indro̱ ada̍had a̱gnir i̍ndo pu̱rā dasyū̍n ma̱dhyaṁdi̍nād a̱bhīke̍ |
du̱rge du̍ro̱ṇe kratvā̱ na yā̱tām pu̱rū sa̱hasrā̱ śarvā̱ ni ba̍rhīt ||

Indra smote down, Agni consumed, O Indu, the Dasyus ere the noontide in the conflict. Of those who gladly sought a hard-won dwelling he cast down many a thousand with his arrow.

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

4.28.4

viśva̍smāt sīm adha̱mām̐ i̍ndra̱ dasyū̱n viśo̱ dāsī̍r akṛṇor apraśa̱stāḥ |
abā̍dhethā̱m amṛ̍ṇata̱ṁ ni śatrū̱n avi̍ndethā̱m apa̍citi̱ṁ vadha̍traiḥ ||

Lower than all besides hast thou, O Indra, cast down the Dasyus, abject tribes of Dâsas. Ye drave away, ye put to death the foemen, and took great vengeance with your murdering weapons.

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

4.28.5

e̱vā sa̱tyam ma̍ghavānā yu̱vaṁ tad indra̍ś ca somo̱rvam aśvya̱ṁ goḥ |
āda̍rdṛta̱m api̍hitā̱ny aśnā̍ riri̱cathu̱ḥ kṣāś ci̍t tatṛdā̱nā ||

So, of a truth, Indra and Soma, Heroes, ye burst the stable of the kine and horses, The stable which the bar or stone obstructed; and piercing through set free the habitations.

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