अभि त्वेन्द्र वरिमतः पुरा त्वांहूरणाद्धुवे । ह्वयाम्युग्रं चेत्तारं पुरुणामानमेकजम्
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.
यद्वो देवा उपजीका आसिञ्चन् धन्वन्युदकम् । तेन देवप्रसूतेनेदं दूषयता विषम्
Whatever water you gods poured onto the desert, with that, born from the gods, purify this poison.
असुराणां दुहितासि सा देवानामसि स्वसा । दिवस्पृथिव्याः संभूता सा चकर्थारसं विषम्
You are the daughter of the Asuras, the sister of the gods. Born from heaven and earth, you have made the sap, the poison.
आ वृषायस्व श्वसिहि वर्धस्व प्रथयस्व च । यथाङ्गं वर्धतां शेपस्तेन योषितमिज्जहि
Pour forth, breathe, grow, and expand. Let the penis grow as is fitting; with it, conquer the woman.
येन कृषं वाजयन्ति येन हिन्वन्त्यातुरम् । तेनास्य ब्रह्मणस्पते धनुरिवा तानया पसः
With that which makes the lean fat, with which they subdue the sick, with that, O Brahmanaspati, stretch forth his penis like a bowstring.
आहं तनोमि ते पसो अधि ज्यामिव धन्वनि । क्रमस्व ऋष इव रोहितमनवग्लायता सदा
I stretch forth your penis as the bowstring on a bow. Advance, like a red bull, never failing, always.
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.
आञ्जनस्य मदुघस्य कुष्ठस्य नलदस्य च । तुरो भगस्य हस्ताभ्यामनुरोधनमुद्भरे
With ointment, honey, costus, and spikenard, I draw forth the favor of Bhaga with both hands.
संदानं वो बृहस्पतिः संदानं सविता करत्। संदानं मित्रो अर्यमा संदानं भगो अश्विना
May Bṛhaspati bind you together, may Savitṛ bind you together; may Mitra and Aryaman bind you together, may Bhaga and the Aśvins bind you together.
सं परमान्त्समवमान् अथो सं द्यामि मध्यमान् । इन्द्रस्तान् पर्यहार्दाम्ना तान् अग्ने सं द्या त्वम्
May the highest, the lowest, and the middlemost be united; Indra, with his might, has surrounded them—Agni, unite them for us.
अमी ये युधमायन्ति केतून् कृत्वानीकशः । इन्द्रस्तान् पर्यहार्दाम्न तान् अग्ने सं द्या त्वम्
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
As an arrow, well-sharpened, flies swiftly away, so may you, O cough, fly away, following the path of the earth.
यथा सूर्यस्य रश्मयः परापतन्त्याशुमत्। एवा त्वं कासे प्र पत समुद्रस्यानु विक्षरम्
As the rays of the sun swiftly fly forth, so may you, O cough, fly away, following the flow of the ocean.
आयने ते परायणे दूर्वा रोहन्तु पुष्पिणीः । उत्सो वा तत्र जायतां ह्रदो वा पुण्डरीकवान्
At your journey and return, may the sacred dūrvā grass grow, bearing flowers; may a spring arise there, or a pond full of lotuses.
अपामिदं न्ययनं समुद्रस्य निवेशनम् । मध्ये ह्रदस्य नो गृहाः पराचीना मुखा कृधि
This is the descent of the waters, the resting place of the ocean; in the midst of the lake are our homes—make their faces turned away from us.
हिमस्य त्वा जरायुणा शाले परि व्ययामसि । शीतह्रदा हि नो भुवोऽग्निष्कृणोतु भेषजम्
With the membrane of frost we enclose you around the rice field; for our lands are cold-laked—may Agni prepare the remedy.
विश्वजित्त्रायमाणायै मा परि देहि । त्रायमाणे द्विपाच्च सर्वं नो रक्ष चतुष्पाद् यच्च नः स्वम्
Do not harm the one who conquers all and protects; in her protection, guard all our two-footed and four-footed beings, and whatever is ours.
त्रायमाणे विश्वजिते मा परि देहि । विश्वजिद्द्विपाच्च सर्वं नो रक्ष चतुष्पाड्यच्च नः स्वम्

त्वं नो मेधे प्रथमा गोभिरश्वेभिरा गहि । त्वं सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिस्त्वं नो असि यज्ञिया
You, O Medhā, come to us first with cows and horses; you are with the rays of the sun, you are worthy of sacrifice for us.
मेधामहं प्रथमां ब्रह्मण्वतीं ब्रह्मजूतामृषिष्टुताम् । प्रपीतां ब्रह्मचारिभिर्देवानामवसे हुवे
I invoke Medhā, the first, inspired by the Brāhmaṇas, praised by the seers, honored by the students, for the help of the gods.
