5.36.1

sa ā ga̍ma̱d indro̱ yo vasū̍nā̱ṁ cike̍ta̱d dātu̱ṁ dāma̍no rayī̱ṇām |
dha̱nva̱ca̱ro na vaṁsa̍gas tṛṣā̱ṇaś ca̍kamā̱naḥ pi̍batu du̱gdham a̱ṁśum ||

MAY Indra come to us, he who knows rightly to give forth treasures from his store of riches. Even as a thirsty steer who roams the deserts may he drink eagerly the milked-out Soma.

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

5.36.2

ā te̱ hanū̍ harivaḥ śūra̱ śipre̱ ruha̱t somo̱ na parva̍tasya pṛ̱ṣṭhe |
anu̍ tvā rāja̱nn arva̍to̱ na hi̱nvan gī̱rbhir ma̍dema puruhūta̱ viśve̍ ||

Lord of Bay Horses, Hero, may the Soma rise to thy cheeks and jaws like mountain-ridges. May we, O King, as he who driveth coursers, all joy in thee with hymns, invoked of many!

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

5.36.3

ca̱kraṁ na vṛ̱ttam pu̍ruhūta vepate̱ mano̍ bhi̱yā me̱ ama̍te̱r id a̍drivaḥ |
rathā̱d adhi̍ tvā jari̱tā sa̍dāvṛdha ku̱vin nu sto̍ṣan maghavan purū̱vasu̍ḥ ||

Invoked of many, Caster of the Stone my heart quakes like a rolling wheel for fear of penury. Shall not Purûvasu the singer give thee praise, O ever-prospering Maghavan, mounted on thy car?

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

5.36.4

e̱ṣa grāve̍va jari̱tā ta̍ i̱ndreya̍rti̱ vāca̍m bṛ̱had ā̍śuṣā̱ṇaḥ |
pra sa̱vyena̍ maghava̱n yaṁsi̍ rā̱yaḥ pra da̍kṣi̱ṇid dha̍rivo̱ mā vi ve̍naḥ ||

Like the press-stone is this thy praiser, Indra. Loudly he lifts his voice with strong endeavour. With thy left hand, O Maghavan, give us riches: with thy right, Lord of Bays, be not reluctant.

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

May the strong Heaven make thee the Strong wax stronger: Strong, thou art borne by thy two strong Bay Horses. So, fair of cheek, with mighty chariot, mighty, uphold us, strong-willed, thunderarmed, in battle.

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

Maruts, let all the people in obeisance bow down before this youthful Ṣrutaratha, Who, rich in steeds, gave me two dark red horses together with three hundred head of cattle.
