Sukta 134
Sukta 10.134
Indra (with implicit Devī Janitrī as generative power)
Yah mantra Indra ki taarif karta hai jo duniya ko failane wala maha shaktishaali hai. Indra ko Devi Janitri ne janma hai, jo ek shubh mata shakti hai. Indra ne Aasman aur Dharti ko failaya aur dushmano ko hata diya. Woh Soma pilane wale ko dhann deta hai aur uski kami puri karta hai. Ant mein yeh promise hai ki kisi bhi devta ko roka nahi jayega. Sahi sun kar insaan upar udta hai jaise pankh mil gaye ho.

उभे यदिन्द्र रोदसी आपप्राथोषा इव । महान्तं त्वा महीनां सम्राजं चर्षणीनां देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत् ॥
Jab Indra ne duniya aur aasmaan ko failaya, jaise savere ki roshni failti hai. Tab ek mata ne use paida kiya. Woh bada tha, sabka raja tha, logon ka shasak tha. Bhagwan mata ne use paida kiya.
Mantra 2
अव स्म दुर्हणायतो मर्तस्य तनुहि स्थिरम् । अधस्पदं तमीं कृधि यो अस्माँ आदिदेशति देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत् ॥
Us aadmi ko girana jise rokna mushkil hai. Use neeche gira de jo humein takleef dena chahta hai. Bhagwan mata ne tujhe paida kiya hai isliye tu kar sakta hai.

अव त्या बृहतीरिषो विश्वश्चन्द्रा अमित्रहन् । शचीभिः शक्र धूनुहीन्द्र विश्वाभिरूतिभिर्देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत् ॥
Indra, dushman ko maarne wale, apni taakat bhej. Apni shakti se virodhiyon ko hila de. Tu sab tarah ki madad kar sakta hai kyunki bhagwan mata ne tujhe paida kiya hai.
Mantra 4
अव यत्त्वं शतक्रतविन्द्र विश्वानि धूनुषे । रयिं न सुन्वते सचा सहस्रिणीभिरूतिभिर्देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत् ॥
Indra, tum jo sau kaam karte ho, jab tum saari badhaayein hata dete ho, to som peene wale ke paas aate ho. Tumhare paas hazaron tarah ki madad hoti hai. Tum usko dhan dete ho, jaise yeh tumhara apna kaam ho. Maa ne tumhe paida kiya jo bhagwan ki tarah hai aur bhalaai layi hai.

Jaise paseene ke boond ud jaate hain, waise hi dushman ke teer kahin aur gir jaayen. Jaise ghaas ki taar failti hai, waise hi buri soch hamse door ho jaaye. Maa ne tumhe paida kiya jo bhagwan ki tarah hai aur bhalaai layi hai.

Jaise koi lambi lakdi se haathi ko chalata hai, waise hi tum shakti pakde ho jo kaam karti hai. Tum purane raaste se aage badhte ho aur dhan dete ho. Hum bhi usi raaste se chalein, jaise Yama ne raasta banaya tha. Maa ne bhalaai paida ki hai.

Hum kisi bhagwan ko chhota nahi karte, kisi ko roka nahi. Hum mantra sunte hain aur usi hisaab se chalte hain. Jaise pakshi pankh se udta hai, waise hi hum bhi upar uthte hain aur sab mil ke pakad lete hain.
Frequently Asked Questions
The main deity is Indra, praised as a universal king and helper of the Soma-offerer. The hymn also hints at Devī Janitrī, an auspicious Mother-power who ‘brings forth’ Indra’s strength.
It means the divine “Mother” or generative power. In RV 10.134, it suggests that Indra’s victorious force is rightly born from an auspicious creative source, not merely raw power.
The closing verse stresses harmony and right practice: the worshipper should not insult or block any deva. Instead, one should live in “mantra-śruti,” attentive hearing of sacred speech, which helps the mind ‘take wing’ toward clarity.
