Rig Veda 7.29.5: Mandala 7, Sukta 29, Mantra 5

Sukta 7.29

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭha family hymns dominate Maṇḍala 7; this verse continues the Indra praise typical of Vasiṣṭha diction)

Devata: Indra (with an implicit collective of Indra’s protective powers in ‘yūyam’)

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (11-syllable cadence typical of Indra hymns in Maṇḍala 7; this verse conforms to the triṣṭubh movement)

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

वोचेमेदिन्द्रं मघवानमेनं महो रायो राधसो यद्ददन्नः । यो अर्चतो ब्रह्मकृतिमविष्ठो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 7.29.5

Transliteration

voceméd índraṃ maghávānam enaṃ mahó rāyó rā́dhaso yád dádann naḥ | yó árcato bráhma-kṛtim áviṣṭho yūyám pāta svastí-bhiḥ sádā naḥ ||

Translation

Да изречём мы Индру — этого Магхавана, владыку изобилия, который, даруя нам, ниспосылает великое богатство и щедрую полноту даров. Он — самый скорый помощник поющему, устрояющий брахман (действенную мантрическую силу). Вы же, силы Индры, храните нас всегда благими благословениями (свасти).
