Sukta 77

ववक्ष इन्द्रो अमितमृजिष्यु१भे आ पप्रौ रोदसी महित्वा। अतश्चिदस्य महिमा वि रेच्यभि यो विश्वा भुवना बभूव

IAST Transliteration

vavákṣa índro ámitam ṛjiṣyúḥ ubhé ā paprau ródasī mahitvā́ | átaś cid asya mahimā́ ví recya abhí yó víśvā bhúvanā babhū́va

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Indra hath waxed—immeasurable, straight-rushing; by his greatness he hath filled both worlds. Therefore even his majesty is spread forth beyond measure—he who hath become over all beings.

Translation

ਇੰਦਰ ਵਧਿਆ ਹੈ—ਅਪਾਰ, ਸਿੱਧਾ ਧਾਵਣ ਵਾਲਾ; ਆਪਣੇ ਮਹੱਤਵ ਨਾਲ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਦੋਵੇਂ ਲੋਕ (ਰੋਦਸੀ) ਭਰ ਦਿੱਤੇ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਵੀ ਮਾਪ ਤੋਂ ਪਰੇ ਫੈਲੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ—ਉਹੀ ਜੋ ਸਭ ਭੂਤ-ਭਵਨਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਵਿਆਪ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ।
