Sukta 118

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

इन्द्रो मह्ना रोदसी पप्रथच्छव इन्द्रः सूर्यमरोचयत्। इन्द्रे ह विश्वा भुवनानि येमिर इन्द्रे सुवानास इन्दवः

IAST Transliteration

índro mahnā́ ródasī paprathác chávo índraḥ sū́ryam arocayat | índre ha víśvā bhúvanāni yemire índre suvānā́sa índavaḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Indra, by his greatness, hath spread the two worlds forth—his might; Indra hath made the Sun to shine. In Indra, indeed, all beings have their stay; in Indra rest the Soma-drops when pressed.

Translation

Indra, por sua grandeza, estendeu os dois mundos — por sua força; Indra fez o Sol resplandecer. Em Indra, em verdade, todos os seres têm seu apoio; em Indra repousam as gotas de Soma, quando prensadas.
