Mantra 11

Sukta 135

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

त्वमिन्द्र शर्मरिणा हव्यं पारावतेभ्यः । विप्राय स्तुवते वसुवनिं दुरश्रवसे वह

IAST Transliteration

tvám índra śárma-riṇā havyáṃ pārā́vatebhyaḥ | víprāya stuvaté vásu-vaníṃ dur-aśraváse vaha ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Thou, Indra, who repayest with shelter, bring hither the oblation from far away; bring wealth-winning to the singer as he praiseth thee—yea, to him whose fame is hard to win.

Translation

হে ইন্দ্র, যিনি আশ্রয় দিয়ে প্রতিদান করো, দূর দেশ থেকেও হব্য (আহুতি) এখানে নিয়ে এসো। স্তবকারী বিপ্রের জন্য, তোমার প্রশংসাকারীর জন্য, ধন-লাভ করায় এমন বসু-বনি (সমৃদ্ধি) নিয়ে এসো—তার জন্যও, যার খ্যাতি অর্জন করা কঠিন।
