मन्त्र 1

यः जातः एव प्रथमो मनस्वान् देवो देवान् क्रतुना पर्यभूषत् । यस्य शुष्कात् रोदसी अभ्यसेताम् नृमस्य महिना जनुषः सु वज्रः ॥

yaḥ jātaḥ eva prathamo manasvān devo devān kratunā paryabhūṣat । yasya śuṣkāt rodasī abhyasetām nṛmasya mahinā januṣaḥ su vajraḥ ॥

अनुवाद: He who, being born, was the very first wise deity who surpassed the other gods in intelligence; by whose greatness the two worlds (heaven and earth) tremble out of fear and awe, and whose thunderbolt is mighty by birth.

Indra is extolled as the supreme, primordial consciousness whose sheer majesty and divine brilliance command the reverence of all cosmic forces.

मन्त्र 2

यः पृथ्वीं व्यथमानामदृंहद् यः पर्वतान् प्रकुपितांरम्यणात् । यो अन्तरिक्षं विममे वरिष्को यो द्यामस्तभ्नात् स जनस इन्द्रः ॥

yaḥ pṛthvīṃ vyathamānāmadṛṃhad yaḥ parvatān prakupitāṃramyaṇat । yo antarikṣaṃ vimame variṣko yo dyāmastabhnāt sa janasa indraḥ ॥

अनुवाद: He who made firm the trembling earth, who quieted the agitated mountains, who measured out the vast middle region (space), and who propped up heaven—he, O men, is Indra.

This verse celebrates Indra as the cosmic architect who brings stability, order, and balance to the physical and energetic universe.
