Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 5
Indra praised as Vṛtra-slayer who accepts stotra and Soma, granting prosperity to the observant patron
शं पदं मघं रयीषिणो न काममव्रतो हिनोति न स्पृशद्रयिम्
śaṃ padaṃ maghaṃ rayīṣiṇo na kāmamavrato hinoti na spṛśadrayim
śaṃ padaṃ1 maghaṃ rayīṣiṇo2 na kāmamavrato3 hinoti na spṛśadrayim
يا مَقَامَ الشَّأْمِ (śaṃ pada)، يا مَغْهَا (magha: العَطَاء)، يا كَامَا (kāma: الرَّغْبَة) لِـرَيِيṣِن (rayīṣiṇ: ذِي الغِنَى)؛ إنَّ مَن لا وَرَعَ لَهُ ولا فْرَاتَا (vrata: نَذْرٌ/انضِبَاطٌ شَعَائِرِيّ) لا يَدْفَعُهُ عَنْهُ، ولا يَمَسُّ—لا يَنَالُ—رَيِي (rayi: الثَّرْوَة) تلك.
