The mysteries of Aryan civilization. A. G. Vinogradov

with a gold jewel

      They, in a hurry, did not pass Indra.

      He placed his spies around the sun.

      9 When you, O Indra, both worlds

      I embraced my greatness from all sides,

      You have won over the unreasonable with the help of the reasonable: With spells you blew out dasya, O Indra.

      12 Indra defeated the strongholds of Ilibishi,

      Indra cut the horned Shushnu.

      How much onslaught, how much strength —

      With the club of thunder you killed the enemy, who was eager to fight!

      I. 63. To Indra.

      4 You indeed, O Indra, inspired as an ally,

      When he harnessed Vritra,

      O Thunderer, ready for courageous deeds,

      When, oh brave hero, like a bull, far, far away,

      In the bosom, you, easily conquering, mutilated dasya.

      I.103. To Indra.

      8 When, O Indra, you killed Shushna, Pipra,

      Kuyavu, Vritra, when you destroyed the fortresses of Shambara.

      May Mitra, Varuna, grant us generously,

      Aditi, Sindhu, Earth and Sky!

      I. 174. To Indra.

      2 You have suppressed, O Indra, the evil-speaking tribes,

      When he broke seven autumn fortresses, refuge.

      Thou didst let the water flow in streams, O perfect one.

      You gave Vritra to the power of young Purukutsa.

      II. 11. To Indra.

      You have cut Vritra, Dana, Aurnavabha!

      You have opened the luminary for Aria.

      Dasyu collapsed on the left, O Indra.

      We want to benefit from winning with your help

      Together with the arya of all enemies-dasyu!

      It was for us then that you gave the power to Visvarupa,

      The son of Tvashtar, in the power of Trita from the circle of friends.

      II. 20. To Indra.

      6 This god, glorified under the name of Indra,

      Rose for the sake of man, the most amazing.

      He, the winner, cut off his very head

      At dasa Arshasana, self-existent.

      7 This Indra, the killer of Vritra, blew up

      Dasov, lurking in the black belly, he, the breaker of fortresses.

      He gave birth to earth and water for man.

      He always encouraged the donor to speak.

      8 This Indra inherited from the gods

      All the courage to conquer the waters.

      When they put the club of thunder in his hands,

      After killing the dasya, he overthrew their iron fortresses.

      II. 30. To Indra and other gods.

      8 O Saraswati, help us:

      Accompanied by the courageous Maruts, defeat the enemies!

      Even this arrogant, showing strength

      The Shandik leader is killed by Indra.

      III. 31. To Indra.

      21 Vritra’s killer as the lord of the cows pointed out the cows.

      He drove out the black ones with the help of scarlet creatures.

      Indicating beautiful gifts according to the law,

      He opened all his gates.

      III. 34. To Indra.

      9 He captured the horses, and he captured the sun,

      Indra captured a richly nourished cow

      And he seized power over gold.

      By killing the dasya, he supported the Aryan race.

      IV. 16. To Indra.

      12 For Kutsa, cast down the gluttonous Shushnu!

      In the afternoon, before eating, crush Kuyavu

      (And) thousands of dasyus in one day – in (the guise of) Kutsa!

      Rip off the sun wheel at the decisive moment!

      V. 29. (To Indra).

      10 You tore off one wheel of the sun.

      For Kutsa’s sake, you have provided a clear path for the movement of another.

      You have smashed the mute dasus with mortal weapons.

      To another place you threw the evil-minded.

      VII. 19. (To Indra)

      2 You, Indra, supported Kutsu,

      Serving him in battle himself,

      When dasu Shushnu bringing crop failure,

      You gave him power, wanting to help Arjuneya.

      3 You, brave, boldly helped Sudas,

      Whose sacrifices are pleasant, with all the support.

      You have helped Trasadasya, the son of Purukutsa,

      Puru in battles with enemies during the seizure of lands.

      4 You and your husbands, oh courageous thought, at the invitation of the gods

      You kill many enemies, O ruler with dun horses.

      You put Dasyu Chumuri and Dhuni to sleep,

      To make Dabhiti easy to kill.

      5 These are your exploits, O Thunderer,

      That in one day ninety-nine fortresses.

      In the evening you finished with a hundred,

      And you killed Vritra and also killed Namuchi.

      VIII. 32. (To Indra)

      2 Acts who killed Sribinda, Anarshani,

      Pipru, dasu Ahisuvu

      (And) released, formidable, the flow of water.

      VIII.96. (To Indra)

      13 Drapsa climbed down to Anshumati,

      Krishna went with ten thousand.

      He, blowing with all his might, was helped by Indra.

      The courageous thought dealt with the defeated.

      14 I saw Drapsa moving in different directions

      Deep in the Anshumati river,

      Climbed down, black as a cloud.

      I urge you bulls: fight the competition!

      18 You, O bull of the nations,

      Has become a powerful hammer for enemies.

      You let the stopped rivers flow

      You conquered the waters that were the wives of Dasa.

      X. 23. (To Indra)

      2 A pair of his dun horses – goods that are in a wooden (vessel):

      Indra the generous becomes the killer of Vritra through his generous gifts.

      Ribhu, Vaja, Ribhukshan, he commands the power:

      «I am erasing the very name of dasa!»

      X. 49. (To Indra)

      3 … (I,) who did not give Dasyu an Aryan name.

      6 I am the one who Navavadu, Brihadrathu,

      Crushed
