Mantra 8
Sukta 34
अथोपदान भगवो जाङ्गिडामितवीर्य । पुरा त उग्रा ग्रसत उपेन्द्रो वीर्यं ददौ
áthopadāna bhágavo jāṅgiḍā́mitavīrya | purā́ te ugrā́ grásata upéndro vīryáṃ dadau ||
And further, O bestower, O blessed Jāṅgiḍa of unmeasured might: of old, when the fierce ones would devour thee, Upendra gave thee strength.
ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ, ਹੇ ਉਪਦਾਨ (ਦਾਤਾ), ਹੇ ਭਗਵਨ—ਅਮਿਤ ਵੀਰਯ ਵਾਲੇ ਜਾਂਗਿੜਾ! ਪੁਰਾਤਨ ਕਾਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਗ੍ਰ ਜਣੇ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਨਿਗਲਣ ਨੂੰ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਸਨ, ਤਦ ਉਪੇਂਦ੍ਰ ਨੇ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਵੀਰਯ (ਬਲ) ਦਿੱਤਾ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
