Sukta 1.57
Vasiṣṭha Maitrāvaruṇi
Indra
Triṣṭubh
Is mantra mein Indra ki tareef hai jo sabko deta hai. Uska dena itna zyada hai ki koi pakad nahi sakta. Indra ne vajra se bada pahad toda tha. Usse pani bahar aaya aur duniya chali. Ab hum log Indra pe nirbhar hain. Hum kehte hain ki wo hamari baat sune aur hamare bal ko badhaye.
Mantras
Mantra 1
प्र मंहिष्ठाय बृहते बृहद्रये सत्यशुष्माय तवसे मतिं भरे । अपामिव प्रवणे यस्य दुर्धरं राधो विश्वायु शवसे अपावृतम् ॥
Main apni soch bade wale bhagwan ke paas le ke jaa raha hoon. Woh bahut deta hai, uske paas bahut paisa hai, aur woh sach mein taakat wala hai. Uski den jaise pahad se paani niche gir raha ho, sabko milta hai. Yeh taakat sabki zindagi ke liye hai.
Mantra 2
अध ते विश्वमनु हासदिष्टय आपो निम्नेव सवना हविष्मतः । यत्पर्वते न समशीत हर्यत इन्द्रस्य वज्रः श्नथिता हिरण्ययः ॥
Jab Indra yagya ke liye aaya toh sab log uske peeche chale gaye. Paani niche ki taraf baha, jaise koi yagya mein daal raha ho. Indra ka sona ka banaya hua vajra pahad par gira aur usko tod diya. Woh ruka nahi.
Mantra 3
अस्मै भीमाय नमसा समध्वर उषो न शुभ्र आ भरा पनीयसे । यस्य धाम श्रवसे नामेन्द्रियं ज्योतिरकारि हरितो नायसे ॥
Is darawne bhagwan ko yagya mein pranaam karo. Subah ki tarah saaf cheez lao jo usko pasand ho. Uska ghar naam ke liye hai, uska naam taakat hai. Roshni bani hai aage badhne ke liye, jaise hari ghode gaadi mein jode jayen.
Mantra 4
इमे त इन्द्र ते वयं पुरुष्टुत ये त्वारभ्य चरामसि प्रभूवसो । नहि त्वदन्यो गिर्वणो गिरः सघत्क्षोणीरिव प्रति नो हर्य तद्वचः ॥
Indra, yeh sab tera hai aur hum bhi tera hain. Log tujhe bahut tarif karte hain. Hum tujhe pakad ke chalte hain, kyunki tu hi bada hai. Tujhe chhod ke aur koi nahi jo hamare gaane sun sake. Zameen bojh uthati hai, waise hi tu hamare gaane utha. Isliye hamari baat sun le.
Mantra 5
भूरि त इन्द्र वीर्यं तव स्मस्यस्य स्तोतुर्मघवन्काममा पृण । अनु ते द्यौर्बृहती वीर्यं मम इयं च ते पृथिवी नेम ओजसे ॥
Indra, teri taakat bahut badi hai. Hum tera hi hain. Tu is gaane wale ki ichcha poori kar de. Aasmaan aur zameen dono teri taakat ke saath chalte hain. Tu itna bada hai ki sab tere aage hilta hai.
Mantra 6
त्वं तमिन्द्र पर्वतं महामुरुं वज्रेण वज्रिन्पर्वशश्चकर्तिथ । अवासृजो निवृताः सर्तवा अपः सत्रा विश्वं दधिषे केवलं सहः ॥
Indra, tune bade pahad ko tod diya. Tune apna vajra maara aur pahad tukdon mein bikhar gaya. Usme jo paani band tha, woh neeche aa gaya aur bahne laga. Ab tu poori duniya ko apni taakat se sambhalta hai.
