येना पावक चक्षसा भुरण्यन्तं जनामनु । त्वं वरुण पश्यसि
With that radiant eye, O Varuṇa, by which you see all moving people, you observe, O Varuṇa.
वि द्यामेषि रजस्पृथ्वहर्मिमानो अक्तुभिः । पश्यं जन्मानि सूर्य
You travel across the broad expanse of the sky with your rays, O Sun, beholding the births of men.
सप्त त्वा हरितो रथे वहन्ति देव सूर्य । शोचिष्केशं विचक्षणम्
Seven bay steeds draw you, O divine Sun, on your chariot—brilliant-haired, all-seeing.
अयुक्त सप्त शुन्ध्युवः सूरो रथस्य नप्त्यः । ताभिर्याति स्वयुक्तिभिः
The Sun, offspring of the chariot, has yoked seven swift mares; with these self-yoked ones he journeys.
अभि त्वा वर्चसा गिरः सिञ्चन्त्या चरण्युवः । अभि वत्सं न धेनवः
To you, the radiant, the hymns pour forth, swift as horses—like cows to a calf.
ता अर्षन्ति शुभ्रियः पृञ्चतीर्वर्चसा पयः । जातं जनिर्यथा हृदा
They flow forth, shining, abundant with radiance and milk, as the mother brings forth the newborn from her heart.
वज्रापवसाध्यः कीर्तिर्म्रियमाणमावहन् । मह्यमायुर्घृतं पयः
With the strength of the thunderbolt, fame has brought the dying man—life, clarified butter, and milk to me.
आयं गौः पृश्निरक्रमीदसदन् मातरं पुरः । पितरं च प्रयन्त्स्वः
This spotted cow has stepped forth, advancing to her mother and seeking her father.
अन्तश्चरति रोचना अस्य प्राणादपानतः । व्यख्यन् महिषः स्वः
He moves within the shining realms, from his breath and out-breath; the great buffalo has declared the light.
त्रिंशद्धामा वि राजति वाक्पतङ्गो अशिश्रियत्। प्रति वस्तोरहर्द्युभिः
With thirty abodes he shines forth; the bird of speech has soared, responding to the call of the radiant dawns.
यच्छक्रा वाचमारुहन्न् अन्तरिक्षं सिषासथः । सं देवा अमदन् वृषा
When, O mighty one, you ascended speech and sought to master the midspace, the gods rejoiced together, O bull.
शक्रो वाचमधृष्टायोरुवाचो अधृष्णुहि । मंहिष्ठ आ मदर्दिवि
O mighty one, empower speech with boldness, make the voice wide and unassailable; be most exalted in your joy in heaven.
शक्रो वाचमधृष्णुहि धामधर्मन् वि राजति । विमदन् बर्हिरासरन्
O mighty one, empower speech with boldness; the abode of law shines forth; let them rejoice, having prepared the sacred grass.
तं वो दस्ममृतीषहं वसोर्मन्दानमन्धसः । अभि वत्सं न स्वसरेषु धेनव इन्द्रं गीर्भिर्नवामहे
We praise that wondrous, death-conquering, exhilarating Indra with hymns, as cows in their stalls praise a calf.
द्युक्षं सुदानुं तविषीभिरावृतं गिरिं न पुरुभोजसम् । क्षुमन्तं वाजं शतिनं सहस्रिणं मक्षू गोमन्तमीमहे
We seek the shining, generous, powerful one, surrounded by strength—like a mountain rich in treasures—abundant in food, wealth, thousands, and quickly full of cattle.
तत्त्वा यामि सुवीर्यं तद्ब्रह्म पूर्वचित्तये । येना यतिभ्यो भृगवे धने हिते येन प्रस्कण्वमाविथ
I approach your heroic power, that sacred knowledge of old, by which you aided the striving Bhrigus in their quest for wealth, and by which you protected Praskanva.
येना समुद्रमसृजो महीरपस्तदिन्द्र वृष्णि ते शवः । सद्यः सो अस्य महिमा न संनशे यं क्षोणीरनुचक्रदे
By which, O mighty Indra, you set the great rivers in motion and made the ocean flow—by your strength; immediately his greatness does not diminish, whom the earth has not subdued.
कन् नव्यो अतसीनां तुरो गृणीत मर्त्यः । नही न्वस्य महिमानमिन्द्रियं स्वर्गृणन्त आनशुः
Who among mortals is worthy to praise the swift Atasīna horses? None have fully praised his greatness and power, though they have sung of him.
कदु स्तुवन्त ऋतयन्त देवत ऋषिः को विप्र ओहते । कदा हवं मघवन्न् इन्द्र सुन्वतः कदु स्तुवत आ गमः
When do the singers, the righteous, the inspired ones, call upon the god? Which sage, which wise man, invokes him? When, O generous Indra, will you come to the pressed Soma, to the song of praise?
अभि प्र वः सुराधसमिन्द्रमर्च यथा विदे । यो जरितृभ्यो मघवा पुरूवसुः सहस्रेणेव शिक्षति
Now praise Indra, the bestower of riches, as is fitting, who is known to you—he, the generous one, who grants to the singers abundant wealth, as if by the thousands.
शतानीकेव प्र जिगाति धृष्णुया हन्ति वृत्राणि दाशुषे । गिरेरिव प्र रसा अस्य पिन्विरे दत्राणि पुरुभोजसः
Like one with a hundred armies, he advances with might, he strikes down the foes for the worshipper; like rivers from a mountain, his gifts, rich in enjoyment, flow forth.
प्र सु श्रुतं सुराधसमर्चा शक्रमभिष्टये । यः सुन्वते स्तुवते काम्यं वसु सहस्रेणेव मंहते
Now sing praise to the famed, wealth-giving Indra, for your desire; he who grants the desirable treasure to the one who presses Soma and sings, as if by the thousands, is magnified.
शतानीका हेतयो अस्य दुष्टरा इन्द्रस्य समिषो महीः । गिरिर्न भुज्मा मघवत्सु पिन्वते यदीं सुता अमन्दिषुः
His countless weapons, hard to overcome, are with Indra, vast and full; like a mountain, the abundance flows among the generous when the pressed Somas are not lacking.
वयं घ त्वा सुतावन्त आपो न वृक्तबर्हिषः । पवित्रस्य प्रस्रवणेषु वृत्रहन् परि स्तोतार आसते
We, having pressed Soma, sit around you, O slayer of Vṛtra, like waters around the sacrificial grass; at the outpourings of the purifier, the singers are gathered.
स्वरन्ति त्वा सुते नरो वसो निरेक उक्थिनः । कदा सुतं तृषाण ओक आ गम इन्द्र स्वब्दीव वंसगः
Men call to you at the pressing, O giver of wealth, with hymns; when will you come home, O Indra, longing for the pressed Soma, like a bull roaring to its herd?
कण्वेभिर्धृष्णवा धृसद्वाजं दर्षि सहस्रिणम् । पिशङ्गरूपं मघवन् विचर्षणे मक्षू गोमन्तमीमहे
With the Kanvas, we seek you, O mighty one, of firm banner, of a thousand gifts, O generous one, of variegated form, among men; swiftly may we obtain the cattle.
क ईं वेद सुते सचा पिबन्तं कद्वयो दधे । अयं यः पुरो विभिनत्त्योजसा मन्दानः शिप्र्यन्धसः
Who knows him, who, at the pressing, is accompanied, who has set his mind? This one, who shatters the forts with his power, delighting in the strong Soma.
दाना मृगो न वारणः पुरुत्रा चरथं दधे । नकिष्ट्वा नि यमदा सुते गमो महाश्चरस्योजसा
Like a wild beast, an elephant, he has set his course in many places; no one restrains you at the pressing, nor can your coming be checked, O mighty one.
य उग्रः सन्न् अनिष्टृत स्थिरो रणाय संस्कृतः । यदि स्तोतुर्मघवा शृणवद्धवं नेन्द्रो योषत्या गमत्
He who is fierce, unopposed, steadfast, prepared for battle—if, O generous one, you hear the call of the singer, let not Indra go to the woman.
विश्वाः पृतना अभिभूतरं नरं सजूस्ततक्षुरिन्द्रं जजनुश्च राजसे । क्रत्वा वरिष्ठं वर आमुरिमुतोग्रमोजिष्ठं तवसं तरस्विनम्
All the hosts, together with their allies, have fashioned Indra for kingship; by wisdom, most excellent, best of gifts, mighty, most powerful, strong and energetic.
