Is mantra mein Indra ki tareef hai jo ek purana raja hai. Wo bolne ki shakti jagaata hai aur raat aur savere ki chakko ko roshni karta hai. Isme Indra se prayash kiya gaya hai ki wo achchi urja aur khushi badhaye. Wo paani, dawai wale ped, jungle, gaay, ghoda aur insaan ki taakat chalaye. Yeh sab cheezein jeevan ke liye zaroori hain. Indra ko pukara gaya hai taaki humara kalyan ho aur hum sahi baat bolein.
Mantra 1
मन्द्रस्य कवेर्दिव्यस्य वह्नेर्विप्रमन्मनो वचनस्य मध्वः । अपा नस्तस्य सचनस्य देवेषो युवस्व गृणते गोअग्राः ॥
Hey bhagwan, us rishi ki baaton ko hamare liye banao. Woh rishi jo bhagwan ka kaam karta hai, uski baatein madhur hain aur uska mann roshni se bhara hai. Jo log gaate hain, unke liye uske saath ki shakti badhao. Roshni aage chalti hai.
Mantra 2
अयमुशानः पर्यद्रिमुस्रा ऋतधीतिभिॠतयुग्युजानः । रुजदरुग्णं वि वलस्य सानुं पणीँर्वचोभिरभि योधदिन्द्रः ॥
Indra ne sachchai ko apna saathi banaya. Usne paththar ke aas-paas chalke roshni nikali. Usne Vala ki deewar tod di jo kabhi nahi tuti thi. Apni baat ki shakti se usne dushmanon se ladai ki.
Mantra 3
अयं द्योतयदद्युतो व्यक्तून्दोषा वस्तोः शरद इन्दुरिन्द्र । इमं केतुमदधुर्नू चिदह्नां शुचिजन्मन उषसश्चकार ॥
Yeh chamakta hua Indra raat ko roshni deta hai. Raat aur savera aur mausam sab ko ujala karta hai. Din logon ne isko ek chirag ki tarah jagah pe laga diya. Savera, jo saaf paida hua, isne yeh banaya hai.
Mantra 4
अयं रोचयदरुचो रुचानोऽयं वासयद्व्यृतेन पूर्वीः । अयमीयत ऋतयुग्भिरश्वैः स्वर्विदा नाभिना चर्षणिप्राः ॥
Woh chamakta hai aur jahan roshni nahi hai wahan bhi roshni la deta hai. Sacchai ke saath woh purani duniya ko faila deta hai. Woh sacchai ke ghode jod ke chalta hai. Woh swar ko dhundh leta hai aur logon ko aage badha deta hai.
Mantra 5
नू गृणानो गृणते प्रत्न राजन्निषः पिन्व वसुदेयाय पूर्वीः । अप ओषधीरविषा वनानि गा अर्वतो नॄनृचसे रिरीहि ॥
Ab jab log ga rahe hain to purane raja, tu apni shakti ko bada. Jitni bhi nadiyan hain unmein paani bhar de. Paani, dawai wale paudhe aur jungle sab ko chala de. Gai, ghode aur logon ki shakti ko jaga de.
Indra is the main deity. One verse also addresses him with ‘Indu’ (Soma) imagery, highlighting his radiant, awakening power.
It asks for increased inspiration and effective speech, along with prosperity expressed as waters, healing plants, fertile growth, cattle, horses, and human strength.
To portray Indra as a cosmic illuminator who sets a beacon of light in the rhythm of time—helping both the world and the worshipper move from darkness to clarity and growth.
