Sukta 105

Mantra 1

त्वमिन्द्र प्रतूर्तिष्वभि विश्वा असि स्पृधः । अशस्तिहा जनिता विश्वतूरसि त्वं तूर्य तरुष्यतः

Thou, Indra, in the forward onsets art against all rivalries: slayer of reviling, begetter, all-conquering art thou; thou art the victor for the man who strains to win.

Mantra 2

अनु ते शुष्मं तुरयन्तमीयतुः क्षोणी शिशुं न मातरा । विश्वास्ते स्पृधः श्नथयन्त मन्यवे वृत्रं यदिन्द्र तूर्वसि

After thy rushing might the two sustaining Worlds speed, as two Mothers to a child. All rival hostilities of thine they crush for thy wrath, when, O Indra, thou prevailest over Vṛtra.

Mantra 3

इत ऊती वो अजरं प्रहेतारमप्रहितम्। आशुं जेतारं हेतारं रथीतममतूर्तं तुग्र्यावृधम्

Hence be for you an aid that ages not—an unrepelled impeller; the swift conqueror, the smiter, the best of charioteers, the unconquered, the increaser of Tugrya.

Mantra 4

यो राजा चर्षणीनां याता रथेभिरध्रिगुः । विश्वासां तरुता पृतनानां ज्येष्ठो यो वृत्रहा गृणे

He who is King of the peoples, who goes with chariots, unimpeded; the overcomer of all battles, the chief—he, the Vṛtra-slayer, do I hymn.

Mantra 5

इन्द्रं तं शुम्भ पुरुहन्मन्नवसे यस्य द्विता विधर्तरि । हस्ताय वज्रः प्रति धायि दर्शतो महो दिवे न सूर्यः

Adorn that Indra, the much-smiting, for our aid—whose bolt was set upon his hand in twofold wise, in the upholder; splendid to behold, great as the Sun in heaven.
