Sukta 5

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

जगतो राजा इन्द्रो राजा जगतश्चर्षणीनामधि क्षमि विषुरूपं यदस्ति । ततो ददाति दाशुषे वसूनि चोदद् राध उपस्तुतश्चिदर्वाक्

IAST Transliteration

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Indra is King of the moving world, King of the world and of the tribes of men; over earth he rules whatever of manifold form exists. Thence he bestows riches on the pious giver; his bounty, though but praised, is urged hitherward unto us.

Translation

Indra est roi du monde en mouvement, roi du monde et des tribus des hommes ; sur la terre il règne sur tout ce qui existe aux formes multiples. De là il accorde des richesses au donateur pieux ; sa largesse, fût-elle seulement louée, est poussée à venir vers nous — ici-bas.
