Sukta 29

Mantra 1

त्वं हि स्तोमवर्धन इन्द्रास्युक्थवर्धनः । स्तोतॄणामुत भद्रकृत्

For thou, O Indra, art the increaser of the hymn of praise, the increaser of the solemn recitation; and thou, moreover, art the doer of good for them that laud thee.

Mantra 2

इन्द्रमित् केशिना हरी सोमपेयाय वक्षतः । उप यज्ञं सुराधसम्

Even Indra—let the two bay steeds with flowing manes convey the Soma-drinker hither, unto the sacrifice, the well-bounteous.

Mantra 3

अपां फेनेन नमुचेः शिर इन्द्रोदवर्तयः । विश्वा यदजय स्पृधः

With the foam of waters did Indra turn forth the head of Namuci, when he conquered all the hostile rivalries.

Mantra 4

मायाभिरुत्सिसृप्सत इन्द्र द्यामारुरुक्षतः । अव दस्यूंरधूनुथाः

With stratagems, O Indra, those that were creeping forth, those that would climb to heaven—thou didst shake the Dasyus downward and away.

Mantra 5

असुन्वामिन्द्र संसदं विषूचीं व्यनाशयः । सोमपा उत्तरो भवन्

The Soma-less, O Indra—their discordant assembly thou didst shatter asunder; thou, the Soma-drinker, becoming the higher and the victor.
