Rig Veda 7.29.5: Mandala 7, Sukta 29, Mantra 5
Sukta 7.29
Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭha family hymns dominate Maṇḍala 7; this verse continues the Indra praise typical of Vasiṣṭha diction)
Devata: Indra (with an implicit collective of Indra’s protective powers in ‘yūyam’)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (11-syllable cadence typical of Indra hymns in Maṇḍala 7; this verse conforms to the triṣṭubh movement)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
वोचेमेदिन्द्रं मघवानमेनं महो रायो राधसो यद्ददन्नः । यो अर्चतो ब्रह्मकृतिमविष्ठो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
Transliteration
voceméd índraṃ maghávānam enaṃ mahó rāyó rā́dhaso yád dádann naḥ | yó árcato bráhma-kṛtim áviṣṭho yūyám pāta svastí-bhiḥ sádā naḥ ||
Translation
Hum Indra ki baat karte hain, jo daata hai. Woh bada dhan deta hai, poora deta hai. Jo log uski stuti karte hain, unki madad karta hai. Tum hamesha humein achha rakho.
