Sukta 3.45
Viśvāmitra Gāthina (traditional for RV 3.45 Indra hymn)
Indra
Gāyatrī (probable)
Is mantra mein Indra ko bulaya ja raha hai ki jaldi aayein. Wo apne peele ghodon ya urja ke saath aayein, koi rok na sake. Yajman unke liye bhog taiyaar kar raha hai. Indra ka irada samundar jaisa gehra hai, jo badhao ko khurak deta hai. Wo khud se chalnewala aur khud ka malik hai. Unki badh ta takat se yajman ko bada naam aur achha sunai milta rahe.

आ मन्द्रैरिन्द्र हरिभिर्याहि मयूररोमभिः । मा त्वा के चिन्नि यमन्विं न पाशिनोऽति धन्वेव ताँ इहि ॥
Hey Indra, aap aao. Aapke saath chamakde ghode hain aur chamakta hua shakti hai. Koi bhi aapko rok nahi sakta. Aap sabse aage nikal ke hamare paas aao.

वृत्रखादो वलंरुजः पुरां दर्मो अपामजः । स्थाता रथस्य हर्योरभिस्वर इन्द्रो दृळ्हा चिदारुजः ॥
Indra bade dushman ko khatam karta hai. Wo band kamron ko todta hai aur shahron ki deewaron ko todta hai. Paani ko bahata deta hai. Wo apni gaadi mein khada ho ke aata hai aur sab kuch tod deta hai.
Mantra 3
गम्भीराँ उदधीँरिव क्रतुं पुष्यसि गा इव । प्र सुगोपा यवसं धेनवो यथा ह्रदं कुल्या इवाशत ॥
Indra ka irada samundar jaisa gehra hai. Wo chamakte hue janwaron ki tarah unko badhata hai. Paani aage badhta hai jaise gaay chara ke paas jaati hai. Naliyan jaise taalab mein jaati hain.
Mantra 4
आ नस्तुजं रयिं भरांशं न प्रतिजानते । वृक्षं पक्वं फलमङ्कीव धूनुहीन्द्र सम्पारणं वसु ॥
Indra, hume woh dhan laa jo hume aage badhaaye. Koi hume apna haq nahi rok sakta. Jaise ped se pakka phal girata hai, waise hi hume dhan gira de. Yeh dhan hume paar karwa de.
Mantra 5
स्वयुरिन्द्र स्वराळसि स्मद्दिष्टिः स्वयशस्तरः । स वावृधान ओजसा पुरुष्टुत भवा नः सुश्रवस्तमः ॥
Indra, tu khud apni marzi se chalta hai. Tu khud ka malik hai, khud ki shaan badhaane wala. Teri taakat din ke din badhti hai. Log tujhe bahut tareef karte hain. Tu humare liye aisa ban jaa jo humari baat sunta hai aur dusron tak pahunchata hai.
