गर्भो अस्योषधीनां गर्भो हिमवतामुत । गर्भो विश्वस्य भूतस्येमं मे अगदं कृधि
It is the embryo of plants, the embryo of the snowy mountains, the embryo of all that exists—make this a healing remedy for me.
या ओषधयः सोमराज्ञीर्बह्वीः शतविचक्षणाः । बृहस्पतिप्रसूतास्ता नो मुञ्चन्त्वंहसः
You herbs, queens of Soma, many and far-seeing, born of Bṛhaspati—may you release us from harm.
मुञ्चन्तु मा शपथ्यादथो वरुण्यादुत । अथो यमस्य पड्वीशाद्विश्वस्माद्देवकिल्बिषात्
May they release me from curses, and also from Varuṇa’s bond, and from Yama’s fetter, from every divine offense.
यच्चक्षुषा मनसा यच्च वाचोपारिम जाग्रतो यत्स्वपन्तः । सोमस्तानि स्वधया नः पुनातु
Whatever, with eye, with mind, or with speech, we have done while awake or asleep—may Soma cleanse all that from us by his own power.

Rejoice in this mighty hero, Indra, O friends; join together in his strength. He conquers in battle, wins cattle, wields the thunderbolt, is victorious in contests, and crushes foes with his power.
इन्द्रो जयाति न परा जयाता अधिराजो राजसु राजयातै । चर्कृत्य ईड्यो वन्द्यश्चोपसद्यो नमस्य्श्भवेह
Indra is victorious; let none else prevail. He is the supreme king among kings. He is to be praised, honored, approached, and worshipped here.
त्वमिन्द्राधिराजः श्रवस्युस्त्वं भूरभिभूतिर्जनानाम् । त्वं दैवीर्विश इमा वि राजायुष्मत्क्षत्रमजरं ते अस्तु
You, Indra, are the supreme king, renowned; you are the great overpowering force among people. You rule over these divine clans; may your royal power, endowed with life, be undecaying.

I call upon you, Indra, from afar, as did our ancestors. I invoke the mighty one, the discerner, the renowned among many, the unique.
यो अद्य सेन्यो वधो जिघांसन् न उदीरते । इन्द्रस्य तत्र बाहू समन्तं परि दद्मः
Whoever today, as an enemy, seeks to slay us, let him not rise up. There, we place Indra's arms all around.
परि दद्म इन्द्रस्य बाहू समन्तं त्रातुस्त्रायतां नः । देव सवितः सोम राजन्त्सुमनसं मा कृणु स्वस्तये
We place Indra's arms all around for protection; may the savior protect us. O god Savitar, king Soma, make us of good mind for well-being.
देवा अदुः सूर्यो द्यौरदात्पृथिव्यदात्। तिस्रः सरस्वतिरदुः सचित्ता विषदूषणम्
The gods gave, the sun gave, the sky gave, the earth gave. Sarasvati, with her mind, gave three times, removing the poison.

यथायं वाहो अश्विना समैति सं च वर्तते । एवा मामभि ते मनः समैतु सं च वर्तताम्
As this team of horses comes together and moves in harmony, so may your mind come together with me and move in harmony.
आहं खिदामि ते मनो राजाश्वः पृष्ट्यामिव । रेष्मछिन्नं यथा तृणं मयि ते वेष्टतां मनः
I draw your mind to me, as a royal horse is drawn to the yoke; as grass is bound together, so may your mind be bound to me.

Those who come to battle, having set their banners in front—Indra, with his might, has surrounded them—Agni, unite them for us.
आदानेन संदानेनामित्रान् आ द्यामसि । अपाना ये चैषां प्राणा असुनासून्त्समछिदन्
By taking and by binding, we bring the enemies under control; those whose breaths and lives are departing, let them become unconscious.
इदमादानमकरं तपसेन्द्रेण संशितम् । अमित्रा येऽत्र नः सन्ति तान् अग्न आ द्या त्वम्
This taking I have performed, with austerity and with Indra's assent; those who are our enemies here, Agni, bring them under control.
ऐनान् द्यतामिन्द्राग्नी सोमो राजा च मेदिनौ । इन्द्रो मरुत्वान् आदानममित्रेभ्यः कृणोतु नः
May Indra and Agni, Soma, and the king of the earth strike them down; may Indra, accompanied by the Maruts, take away the possessions of our enemies for us.
यथा मनो मनस्केतैः परापतत्याशुमत्। एवा त्वं कासे प्र पत मनसोऽनु प्रवाय्यम्
As the mind, swift as thought, flies far away with its desires, so may you, O cough, fly away, following the course of the mind.
यथा बाणः सुसंशितः परापतत्याशुमत्। एवा त्वं कासे प्र पत पृथिव्या अनु संवतम्
