RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I

HYMN 81

Rishi: GOTAMA Deity: INDRA

Men have increased the joy and strength of Indra, slayer of Vritra. Him, verily, we invoke in battles, great or small. May he promote us in the wealth.

Indra grows in the Yajamana as a result of the hymns of praise and Soma libations offered to him. As the journey from Earth to the Heaven proceeds, there are obstructions from the host of the hostile beings. In this battle the aid of the Gods is indispensable, human effort alone is not enough.

Wealth: obtained from the enemies after conquest by the Gods.

Thou, hero, art a host; thou art the giver of plentiful spoil, exalter even of the feeble; thou art the giver to the Yajamana who offers libations. Abundant is thy wealth.
When battles come up, wealth accrues to the victor. Yoke thy steeds that humble the pride (of the enemy), that thou mayest destroy one and enrich another; place us, Indra, in affluence.
Mighty through willed action, formidable, he has augmented his prowess by his self-nature. Eminent, strong-chinned, possessing the coursers, he grasps in his joined hands the iron thunderbolt for affluence.
He fills the Earth and Mid-region with his glory. He has set the lustres in the sky. There has been none like thee, O Indra, and none will be. Thou wouldst upbear the universe.
May Indra, the lord, who to the offerer gives the foeman’s wealth enjoyable by the mortals, bestow on us. Portion out, thy wealth is abundant. May I partake a portion of the wealth.
In rapture and rapture, straight-dealing, he is indeed our donor of the host of Cows. Gather in both thy hands plentiful riches in their hundreds. Sharpen us, bring us wealth.

Sharpen: in order to receive and hold the celestial wealth.

Enjoy, along with us, O hero, the outpoured libations for strength and wealth. We know thee plentifully rich, to thee we address our desires. Be therefore our protector.
O Indra, these creatures increase (for thee) all that is cherished. As the lord, thou seest within all men. Discover thou the Wealth of those that give not. Bring their Wealth to us. .
