Sukta 104

Mantra 1

इमा उ त्वा पुरूवसो गिरो वर्धन्तु या मम । पावकवर्णाः शुचयो विपश्चितोऽभि स्तोमैरनूषत

These, verily, O Much-wealthy, my songs shall strengthen thee;—pure, of cleansing lustre, wise and stainless,—they have with praises sung unto thee.

Mantra 2

अयं सहस्रमृषिभिः सहस्कृतः समुद्र इव पप्रथे । सत्यः सो अस्य महिमा गृणे शवो यज्ञेषु विप्रराज्ये

This, thousandfold, by seers made mighty, hath spread abroad like ocean’s flood: true is his grandeur; I proclaim his force in sacrifices, in the sovereign realm of inspired priests.

Mantra 3

आ नो विश्वासु हव्य इन्द्रः समत्सु भूषतु । उप ब्रह्माणि सवनानि वृत्रहा परमज्या ऋचीषमः

Hither to us, in every offering, in all encounters, let Indra show him gracious:—near to our prayers, our pressings,—Vṛtra-slayer, best-armed, most rich in sacred verses.

Mantra 4

त्वं दाता प्रथमो राधसामस्यसि सत्य ईशानकृत्। तुविद्युम्नस्य युज्या वृणीमहे पुत्रस्य शवसो महः

Thou art the giver, foremost of all bounties; true, the maker of dominion: we choose for yoking the fellowship of abundant glory,—the great might of the son of strength.
