इन्द्र आशाभ्यस्परि सर्वाभ्यो अभयं करत्। जेता शत्रून् विचर्षणिः
May Indra make us fearless from all directions; the slayer of enemies, the most active.
क ईं वेद सुते सचा पिबन्तं कद्वयो दधे । अयं यः पुरो विभिनत्त्योजसा मन्दानः शिप्र्यन्धसः
Who knows him, who, accompanied by the pressed Soma, drinks, whom the wise have set forth? He who shatters fortresses with his strength, delighting in the pressed, flowing Soma.
दाना मृगो न वारणः पुरुत्रा चरथं दधे । नकिष्ट्वा नि यमदा सुते गमो महांश्चरस्योजसा
Like a giving beast, like an elephant, he has set his course in many places; no one restrains you at the Soma pressing—great, you move by your might.
य उग्रः सन्न् अनिष्टृत स्थिरो रणाय संस्कृतः । यदि स्तोतुर्मघवा शृणवद्धवं नेन्द्रो योषत्या गमत्
He who, being fierce, is not to be restrained, who is firm, prepared for battle—if the generous one hears the praise of the singer, let not Indra go to the woman.
वयं घ त्वा सुतावन्त आपो न वृक्तबर्हिषः । पवित्रस्य प्रस्रवणेषु वृत्रहन् परि स्तोतार आसते
We, having pressed the Soma, sit around you, O Slayer of Vṛtra, like waters with strewn sacrificial grass, at the outpourings of the purifier, as worshippers.
स्वरन्ति त्वा सुते नरो वसो निरेक उक्थिनः । कदा सुतं तृषाण ओक आ गम इन्द्र स्वब्दीव वंसगः
Men, O Wealthy One, sing to you at the pressing of the Soma, with hymns; when, longing for the pressed drink, will you come to the house, O Indra, like a bellowing bull to the herd?
कण्वेभिर्धृष्णवा धृषद्वाजं दर्षि सहस्रिणम् । पिशङ्गरूपं मघवन् विचर्षणे मक्षू गोमन्तमीमहे
With the Kaṇvas, O Mighty One, we seek you, the bold-bannered, the thousand-gifted, O Maghavan, of tawny form, O wise one, swiftly for the wealth of cattle.
श्रायन्त इव सूर्यं विश्वेदिन्द्रस्य भक्षत । वसूनि जाते जनमान ओजसा प्रति भागं न दीधिम
All, as if desiring the sun, partake of Indra's bounty; the treasures born with strength, we have distributed, as by portion.
अनर्शरातिं वसुदामुप स्तुहि भद्रा इन्द्रस्य रातयः । सो अस्य कामं विधतो न रोषति मनो दानाय चोदयन्
Praise the giver of wealth, free from malice; the bounties of Indra are auspicious. He does not withhold the desire of the one who arranges for him, urging the mind to giving.
बण्महामसि सूर्य बडादित्य महामसि । महस्ते सतो महिमा पनस्यतेऽद्धा देव महामसि
You are great, O Sun, O Aditya, you are great; your greatness, being great, is renowned; truly, O god, you are great.
बट्सूर्य श्रवसा महामसि सत्रा देव महामसि । मह्ना देवानामसुर्यः पुरोहितो विभु ज्योतिरदाभ्यम्
O Sun, by your fame you are great; together, O god, you are great. By your greatness, O Sun, you are the priest of the gods, pervading, the undeceivable light.
उदु त्ये मधु मत्तमा गिर स्तोमास ईरते । सत्राजितो धनसा अक्षितोतयो वाजयन्तो रथा इव
Upwards, those sweet, intoxicating songs, hymns, are raised; for the ever-victorious, the wealthy, the inexhaustible, urging on like chariots to the prize.
कण्वा इव भृगवः सूर्य इव विश्वमिद्धीतमानशुः । इन्द्रं स्तोमेभिर्महयन्त आयवः प्रियमेधासो अस्वरन्
Like the Kaṇvas, like the Bhṛgus, like the Sun, all shining forth, the eager ones glorify Indra with hymns; the dear-minded have sounded forth.
उदिन् न्वस्य रिच्यतेऽंशो धनं न जिग्युसः । य इन्द्रो हरिवान् न दभन्ति तं रिपो दक्षं दधाति सोमिनि
Indeed, his portion is increased, like wealth for the one who seeks to win; whom Indra, with his bays, does not harm—his enemy places skill in the Soma-offerer.
मन्त्रमखर्वं सुधितं सुपेशसं दधात यज्ञियेष्वा । पूर्वीश्चन प्रसितयस्तरन्ति तं य इन्द्रे कर्मणा भुवत्
Place the unbroken, well-composed, beautiful hymn among the worshipful; even the former obstacles are crossed by him for whom Indra is present in action.
एवा ह्यसि वीरयुरेवा शूर उत स्थिरः । एवा ते राध्यं मनः
Thus, you are heroic, thus, O champion, you are steadfast; thus is your generous mind.
एवा रातिस्तुवीमघ विश्वेभिर्धायि धातृभिः । अघा चिदिन्द्र मे सचा
Thus, your bounty, O bestower of much, is placed among all the givers; even misfortunes, O Indra, are with me.
मो षु ब्रह्मेव तन्द्रयुर्भुवो वाजानां पते । मत्स्वा सुतस्य गोमतः
Do not grow weary like a priest, O Lord of Strength; delight in the pressed, cattle-rich Soma.
एवा ह्यस्य सूनृता विरप्शी गोमती मही । पक्वा शाखा न दाशुषे
Thus, his true speech is abundant, rich in cows, great; like a ripe branch for the worshipper.
एवा हि ते विभूतय ऊतय इन्द्र मावते । सद्यश्चित्सन्ति दाशुषे
Thus, your powers and aids, O Indra, are for the helper; even immediately, they are for the worshipper.
एवा ह्यस्य काम्या स्तोम उक्थं च शंस्या । इन्द्राय सोमपीतये
Thus, his praiseworthy hymn and song are desirable, for Indra to drink the Soma.
तं ते मदं गृणीमसि वृषणं पृत्सु सासहिम् । उ लोककृत्नुमद्रिवो हरिश्रियम्
That exhilaration of yours we praise, O mighty one, victorious in battles, creator of worlds, O stone-armed, of shining beauty.
येन ज्योतीम्ष्यायवे मनवे च विवेदिथ । मन्दानो अस्य बर्हिषो वि राजसि
By whom you have discerned the lights for Ayu and Manu; you shine forth, delighted, upon his sacrificial grass.
तदद्या चित्त उक्थिनोऽनु ष्टुवन्ति पूर्वथा । वृषपत्नीरपो जया दिवेदिवे
Today, O Mind, the singers praise you as before; the wives of the mighty, the victorious waters, day by day.
तं वभि प्र गायत पुरुहूतं पुरुष्टुतम् । इन्द्रं गीर्भिस्तविषमा विवासत
Sing forth to him, the much-invoked, the much-praised; summon Indra with strong words.
यस्य द्विबर्हसो बृहत्सहो दाधार रोदसी । गिरींरज्रामपः स्वर्वृषत्वना
He whose double shelter, vast strength, upholds the heavens and earth; the mountains, the rivers, and the shining waters by his bull-like power.
स राजसि पुरुष्टुतमेको वृत्राणि जिघ्नसे । इन्द्र जैत्रा श्रवस्य च यन्तवे
You alone reign, much-praised, you slay the foes; Indra, for victory and for the attainment of fame.
वयमु त्वामपूर्व्य स्थूरं न कच्चिद्भरन्तोऽवस्यवः । वाजे चित्रं हवामहे
We call upon you, O unprecedented one, bearing you as a mighty burden; in the contest, we invoke you, O wondrous one.
उप त्वा कर्मन्न् ऊतये स नो युवोग्रश्चक्राम यो धृषत्। त्वामिद्ध्यवितारं ववृमहे सखाय इन्द्र सानसिम्
We approach you for help, O powerful one, who acts boldly; we choose you as our guide, O Indra, steadfast friend.
यो न इदमिदं पुरा प्र वस्य आनिनाय तमु व स्तुषे । सखाय इन्द्रमूतये
He who brought us forth long ago, we praise him; Indra, our friend, for aid.
