Mantra 3
Sukta 115
ये त्वामिन्द्र न तुष्टुवुर्ऋषयो ये च तुष्टुवुः । ममेद् वर्धस्व सुष्टुतः
yé tvā́m indra ná tuṣṭuvúr ṛ́ṣayo yé ca tuṣṭuvúḥ | mamé́d vardhasva sú-ṣṭutaḥ
Whether seers have praised thee not, O Indra, or whether they have praised thee—do thou, when well lauded, increase for me alone.
ಹೇ ಇಂದ್ರ! ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸದ ಋಷಿಗಳಿರಲಿ, ಸ್ತುತಿಸಿದ ಋಷಿಗಳಿರಲಿ—ನೀನು ಸುಸ್ತುತಿಯಾದವನು, ನನ್ನಿಗಾಗಿಯೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗು (ಕೃಪಾ-ಬಲದಲ್ಲಿ ವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗು).
Rishi: RV-derived; speaker is the poet-priest
