Sukta 51

Mantra 1

अभि प्र वः सुराधसमिन्द्रमर्च यथा विदे। यो जरितृभ्यो मघवा पुरूवसुः सहस्रेणेव शिक्षति

Sing forth unto Indra, bounteous in fair gifts, even so that the wise may know him: he, Maghavan, rich in many treasures, to the praisers grants reward as though with a thousandfold bestowal.

Mantra 2

शतानीकेव प्र जिगाति धृष्णुया हन्ति वृत्राणि दाशुषे । गिरेरिव प्र रसा अस्य पिन्विरे दत्राणि पुरुभोजसः

Like one with hundred hosts he presses on; with daring might he smites the Vṛtras for the pious giver. Like juices from a mountain forth they swell—his gifts, of him who yields enjoyment unto many.

Mantra 3

प्र सु श्रुतं सुराधसमर्चा शक्रमभिष्टये । यः सुन्वते स्तुवते काम्यं वसु सहस्रेणेव मंहते

Praise forth, yea praise, the famed and bounteous Śakra for our succor: who to the Soma-presser, to the singer, grants the wished-for good, as though he lavished it a thousandfold.

Mantra 4

शतानीका हेतयो अस्य दुष्टरा इन्द्रस्य समिषो महीः । गिरिर्न भुज्मा मघवत्सु पिन्वते यदीं सुता अमन्दिषुः

Hundredfold are his missiles, hard to be withstood—Indra’s great impellings unto might. Like a compact mountain he swells among the liberal, when the pressed draughts have made him glad.
