अनवद्याभिः समु जग्म आभिरप्सरास्वपि गन्धर्व आसीत्। समुद्र आसां सदनं म आहुर्यतः सद्य आ च परा च यन्ति
With flawless ones he has come together; among the Apsarases the Gandharva was present. The ocean is said to be their dwelling, from which they come and go in an instant.
अभ्रिये दिद्युन् नक्षत्रिये या विश्वावसुं गन्धर्वं सचध्वे । ताभ्यो वो देवीर्नम इत्कृणोमि
With the cloud, with the lightning, with the stars—you join Viśvāvasu the Gandharva. To you goddesses I offer my reverence.
याः क्लन्दास्तमिषीचयोऽक्षकामा मनोमुहः । ताभ्यो गन्धर्वभ्योऽप्सराभ्योऽकरं नमः
To those Gandharvas and Apsarases who bring weariness, darkness, desire for dice, and confusion of mind, I offer my reverence.
अदो यदवधावत्यवत्कमधि पर्वतात्। तत्ते कृणोमि भेषजं सुभेषजं यथाससि
That which runs down from the summit of the mountain, I make that your remedy, a most excellent medicine, as you desire.
आदङ्गा कुविदङ्ग शतं या भेषजानि ते । तेषामसि त्वमुत्तममनास्रावमरोगणम्
From the limb, perhaps from another limb, a hundred remedies are yours; among them you are the highest, not flowing, free from disease.
नीचैः खनन्त्यसुरा अरुस्राणमिदं महत्। तदास्रावस्य भेषजं तदु रोगमनीनशत्
The Asuras dig deep for this great red substance; that is the remedy for discharge, that destroys disease.
उपजीका उद्भरन्ति समुद्रादधि भेषजम् । तदास्रावस्य भेषजं तदु रोगमशीशमत्
The leeches draw up medicine from the ocean; that is the remedy for discharge, that destroys disease.
अरुस्राणमिदं महत्पृथिव्या अध्युद्भृतम् । तदास्रावस्य भेषजं तदु रोगमनीनशत्
This great red substance is raised up from the earth; that is the remedy for discharge, that destroys disease.
शं नो भवन्त्वप ओषधयः शिवाः । इन्द्रस्य वज्रो अप हन्तु रक्षस आराद्विसृष्टा इषवः पतन्तु रक्षसाम्
May the waters and the healing herbs be auspicious for us; may Indra's bolt drive away the demons; may arrows, released from afar, fall upon the demons.
दीर्घायुत्वाय बृहते रणायारिष्यन्तो दक्षमाणाः सदैव । मणिं विष्कन्धदूषणं जङ्गिडं बिभृमो वयम्
For long life, for greatness, for battle, striving, ever skillful, we wear the amulet, the Jaṅgiḍa, which wards off poison and corruption.
जङ्गिडो जम्भाद्विशराद्विष्कन्धादभिशोचनात्। मणिः सहस्रवीर्यः परि णः पातु विश्वतः
The Jaṅgiḍa protects from jaws, from poison, from corruption, from distress; the amulet of a thousand powers may it guard us on every side.
अयं विष्कन्धं सहतेऽयं बाधते अत्त्रिणः । अयं नो विश्वभेषजो जङ्गिडः पात्वंहसः
This one withstands poison, this one repels the harmful; this Jaṅgiḍa is our universal remedy, may it protect us from harm.
देवैर्दत्तेन मणिना जङ्गिडेन मयोभुवा । विष्कन्धं सर्वा रक्षांसि व्यायामे सहामहे
With the amulet given by the gods, the Jaṅgiḍa, full of delight, we withstand poison and all the demons in our exertion.
शणश्च मा जङ्गिडश्च विष्कन्धादभि रक्षताम् । अरण्यादन्य आभृतः कृष्या अन्यो रसेभ्यः
May the hemp and the Jaṅgiḍa protect me from poison; one is brought from the forest, another from the field, another from the juices.
कृत्यादूषिरयं मणिरथो अरातिदूषिः । अथो सहस्वान् जङ्गिडः प्र ण आयुंषि तारिषत्
This amulet wards off witchcraft and also wards off hostility; and the powerful Jaṅgiḍa may it carry us across to long life.
इन्द्र जुषस्व प्र वहा याहि शूर हरिभ्याम् । पिबा सुतस्य मतेरिह मधोश्चकानश्चारुर्मदाय
Indra, accept, come forth, advance, O hero, with your bays; drink the pressed Soma here, delighting in the sweet, for the sake of joy.
इन्द्र जठरं नव्यो न पृणस्व मधोर्दिवो न । अस्य सुतस्य स्वर्णोप त्वा मदाः सुवाचो अगुः
Indra, fill your belly anew with the honey of heaven; the exhilarating draughts of this pressed Soma have come to you with sweet voices.
इन्द्रस्तुराषाण्मित्रो वृत्रं यो जघान यतीर्न । बिभेद वलं भृगुर्न ससहे शत्रून् मदे सोमस्य
Indra, the mighty, the friend, who slew Vṛtra, who broke open Vala, who did not endure the enemies, rejoiced in the Soma's intoxication.
आ त्वा विशन्तु सुतास इन्द्र पृणस्व कुक्षी विड्ढि शक्र धियेह्या नः । श्रुधी हवं गिरो मे जुषस्वेन्द्र स्वयुग्भिर्मत्स्वेह महे रणाय
May the pressed draughts enter you, Indra; fill your belly, know, O Shakra, our devotion; hear the call, accept my songs, Indra, with your own teams, delight here for our great battle.
इन्द्रस्य नु प्र वोचं वीर्याणि यानि चकार प्रथमानि वज्री । अहन्न् अहिमनु अपस्ततर्द प्र वक्षणा अभिनत्पर्वतानाम्
Now I will proclaim the heroic deeds of Indra, which he first accomplished, the wielder of the bolt; he slew the serpent, released the waters, split open the strongholds, and shattered the mountains.
अहन्न् अहिं पर्वते शिश्रियाणं त्वष्टास्मै वज्रं स्वर्यं ततक्ष । वाश्रा इव धेनवः स्यन्दमाना अञ्जः समुद्रमव जग्मुरापः
He struck down the serpent lying upon the mountain; Tvaṣṭṛ fashioned for him the heavenly thunderbolt. Like flowing cows, the waters rushed forth and made their way to the sea.
वृषायमाणो अवृणीत सोमं त्रिकद्रुकेषु अपिबत्सुतस्य । आ सायकं मघवादत्त वज्रमहन्न् एनं प्रथमजामहीनाम्
Longing for strength, he chose Soma and drank the pressed juice among the Trikadrukas. Then Maghavan took up the arrow-like thunderbolt and slew him, the firstborn of the earth.
समास्त्वाग्न ऋतवो वर्धयन्तु संवत्सरा ऋषयो यानि सत्या । सं दिव्येन दीदिहि रोचनेन विश्वा आ भाहि प्रदिशश्चतस्रः
May the seasons together nurture you, O Agni; may the years, the seers, those which are true, increase you. Shine forth with celestial radiance, and illuminate all the four directions.
सं चेध्यस्वाग्ने प्र च वर्धयेममुच्च तिष्ठ महते सौभगाय । मा ते रिषन्न् उपसत्तारो अग्ने ब्रह्माणस्ते यशसः सन्तु मान्ये
Unite yourself, O Agni, and may we increase you further; stand high for great good fortune. Let not those who approach you, O Agni, harm you; may your priests be renowned and honored.
त्वामग्ने वृणते ब्राह्मणा इमे शिवो अग्ने संवरणे भवा नः । सपत्नहाग्ने अभिमातिजिद्भव स्वे गये जागृह्यप्रयुच्छन्
You, O Agni, are chosen by these priests; O Agni, be gracious in our protection. O Agni, slayer of foes, conqueror of adversaries, keep watch over our home, ever alert.
क्षत्रेणाग्ने स्वेन सं रभस्व मित्रेणाग्ने मित्रधा यतस्व । सजातानां मध्यमेष्ठा राज्ञामग्ने विहव्यो दीदिहीह
With your own power, O Agni, strive; with friendship, O Agni, act as a true friend. Among your kin and among kings, O Agni, be the most honored and shine brightly here.
अति निहो अति सृधोऽत्यचित्तीरति द्विषः । विश्वा ह्यग्ने दुरिता तर त्वमथास्मभ्यं सहवीरं रयिं दाः
Overcome the hidden, the obstacles, the heedless, and the hostile; truly, O Agni, cross over all evils. Then grant us, together with heroes, abundant wealth.
अघद्विष्टा देवजाता वीरुच्छपथयोपनी । आपो मलमिव प्राणैक्षीत्सर्वान् मच्छपथामधि
Hated by evil, born of the gods, shining, brought upon the path of the oath—may the waters look upon all oath-breakers as upon filth.
यश्च सापत्नः शपथो जाम्याः शपथश्च यः । ब्रह्मा यन् मन्युतः शपात्सर्वं तन् नो अधस्पदम्
Whether it is a rival's oath, or the oath of a kinsman, or the oath uttered in anger by a priest—may all that fall beneath us.
दिवो मूलमवततं पृथिव्या अध्युत्ततम् । तेन सहस्रकाण्डेन परि णः पाहि विश्वतः
The root of heaven is stretched out, the uppermost of earth; with that thousand-branched one, protect us on every side.
