Sukta 30

Mantra 1

भूय इद्वावृधे वीर्यायँ एको अजुर्यो दयते वसूनि । प्र रिरिचे दिव इन्द्रः पृथिव्या अर्धमिदस्य प्रति रोदसी उभे ॥

Ever more he has grown for hero-power; the one, unfailing, dispenses the riches (the plenitudes). Indra has poured forth from Heaven and from Earth; half of his being answers to both the worlds.

Mantra 2

अधा मन्ये बृहदसुर्यमस्य यानि दाधार नकिरा मिनाति । दिवेदिवे सूर्यो दर्शतो भूद्वि सद्मान्युर्विया सुक्रतुर्धात् ॥

Then I perceive the vast lordly power in him: what he has upheld, none can diminish. Day after day the Sun becomes visible; the wise-forming power has set wide the dwellings (fields) of existence.

Mantra 3

अद्या चिन्नू चित्तदपो नदीनां यदाभ्यो अरदो गातुमिन्द्र । नि पर्वता अद्मसदो न सेदुस्त्वया दृळ्हानि सुक्रतो रजांसि ॥

Even today, even now, that deed remains: you carved a path for the waters, for the rivers, O Indra. The mountains, dwellers in the rock, did not settle (hold them back); by you, O right-willed one, the firm worlds were made steadfast.

Mantra 4

सत्यमित्तन्न त्वावाँ अन्यो अस्तीन्द्र देवो न मर्त्यो ज्यायान् । अहन्नहिं परिशयानमर्णोऽवासृजो अपो अच्छा समुद्रम् ॥

This is the truth: none other than you exists—no god, no mortal—greater, O Indra. You slew the serpent lying coiled upon the flood, and you released the waters to go towards the ocean of vastness.

Mantra 5

त्वमपो वि दुरो विषूचीरिन्द्र दृळ्हमरुजः पर्वतस्य । राजाभवो जगतश्चर्षणीनां साकं सूर्यं जनयन्द्यामुषासम् ॥

You opened wide the doors of the waters that were shut and scattered apart, O Indra; you broke the firm mountain. You became king of the moving world and of the peoples; together you brought to birth the Sun, the Heaven, and the Dawn.
