अस्मान्त्सु तत्र चोदयेन्द्र राये रभस्वतः । तुविद्युम्न यशस्वतः
There, urge us, O Indra, to wealth, to the eager, to the very glorious, to the renowned.
सं गोमदिन्द्र वाजवदस्मे पृथु श्रवो बृहत्। विश्वायुर्धेह्यक्षितम्
Grant us, O Indra, cattle, horses, wide and great fame; bestow undiminished life on all.
अस्मे धेहि श्रवो बृहद्द्युम्नं सहस्रसातमम् । इन्द्र ता रथिनीरिषः
Bestow upon us great fame, abundant might, and wealth of a thousand, O Indra, with your chariot-bearing gifts.
वसोरिन्द्रं वसुपतिं गीर्भिर्गृणन्त ऋग्मियम् । होम गन्तारमूतये
With hymns we praise Indra, the lord of wealth, the ancient one, the singer, the bringer of offerings for aid.
सुतेसुते न्योकसे बृहद्बृहत एदरिः । इन्द्राय शूषमर्चति
At every pressing, in every dwelling, the mighty one is praised; offer up a strong hymn to Indra.
विश्वेषु हि त्वा सवनेषु तुञ्जते समानमेकं वृषमण्यवः पृथक्स्वः सनिष्यवः पृथक्। तं त्वा नावं न पर्षणिं शूषस्य धुरि धीमहि । इन्द्रं न यज्ञैश्चतयन्त आयव स्तोमेभिरिन्द्रमायवः
In all the pressings, they yoke you, the one bull, together and separately, with their own will and effort; like a ship or a raft, we set you in the yoke of praise, O Indra; with hymns, the eager ones call Indra with sacrifices.
वि त्वा ततस्रे मिथुना अवस्यवो व्रजस्य साता गव्यस्य निःसृजः सक्षन्त इन्द्र निःसृजः । यद्गव्यन्ता द्वा जना स्वर्यन्ता समूहसि । आविष्करिक्रद्वृषणं सचाभुवं वज्रमिन्द्र सचाभुवम्
The helpers, paired together, have spread you out, O Indra, as the leader of the herd, the releaser of cattle; when the two peoples who seek cattle and light gather, you reveal the mighty, ever-strong weapon, O Indra.
उतो नो अस्या उषसो जुषेत ह्यर्कस्य बोधि हविषो हवीमभिः स्वर्षाता हवीमभिः । यदिन्द्र हन्तवे मृघो वृषा वज्रिं चिकेतसि । आ मे अस्य वेधसो नवीयसो मन्म श्रुधि नवीयसः
May she, the dawn, accept us; be aware of our hymn, awake to our offering, O bringer of light, with our oblations; when, Indra, you, the bull, the wielder of the bolt, are intent to slay the foe, hear my newest song, O wise one.
तुभ्येदिमा सवना शूर विश्वा तुभ्यं ब्रह्माणि वर्धना कृणोमि । त्वं नृभिर्हव्यो विश्वधासि
To you, O hero, are these pressings; for you I make all the hymns that increase you; you are to be invoked by men in every way.
नू चिन् नु ते मन्यमानस्य दस्मोदश्नुवन्ति महिमानमुग्र । न वीर्यमिन्द्र ते न राधः
Even those who think themselves strong do not attain your greatness, O mighty one; your manliness, Indra, nor your bounty.
प्र वो महे महिवृधे भरध्वं प्रचेतसे प्र सुमतिं कृणुध्वम् । विशः पूर्वीः प्र चरा चर्षणिप्राः
Offer up your praises to the great, ever-growing, all-knowing one; bring forth your good thoughts. Let the many peoples, the leaders of men, advance forward.
यदा वज्रं हिरण्यमिदथा रथं हरी यमस्य वहतो वि सूरिभिः । आ तिष्ठति मघवा सनश्रुत इन्द्रो वाजस्य दीर्घश्रवसस्पतिः
When you, possessing the thunderbolt and gold, yoke the chariot and the two bays, O Indra, who carries the yoke with the wise, then Maghavan, famed of old, Indra, lord of long-renowned strength, stands forth for the prize.
सो चिन् नु वृष्टिर्यूथ्या स्वा सचामिन्द्रः श्मश्रूणि हरिताभि प्रुष्णुते । अव वेति सुक्षयं सुते मधूदिद्धूणोति वातो यथा वनम्
He, indeed, is a showerer of riches, strong in his bands, Indra, whose beard is moistened with the Soma; he descends to the pleasant home at the pressing, stirring up sweetness like the wind stirs the forest.
यो वाचा विवाचो मृध्रवाचः पुरू सहस्राशिवा जघान । तत्तदिदस्य पौंस्यं गृणीमसि पितेव यस्तविषीं वावृधे शवः
He who, with his voice, overcomes those who speak against him, who has struck down many thousands of foes—this, indeed, is his manly power we celebrate, whose might, like a father’s, has grown strong in battle.
यच्चिद्धि सत्य सोमपा अनाशस्ता इव स्मसि । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
Though we are, indeed, true Soma-drinkers, yet as if without means, O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
शिप्रिन् वाजानां पते शचीवस्तव दंसना । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
O wielder of the whip, lord of prizes, strong in your powers, by your protection, O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
नि ष्वापया मिथूदृशा सस्तामबुध्यमाने । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
Make the two rivals sleep, let them lie down, not awakening; O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
ससन्तु त्या अरातयो बोधन्तु शूर रातयः । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
Let those enemies sleep, let the generous ones awaken, O hero; O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
समिन्द्र गर्दभं मृण नुवन्तं पपयामुया । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
Together, O Indra, strike down the braying donkey that hinders us; O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
पताति कुण्डृणाच्या दूरं वातो वनादधि । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
The wind blows far away the dry leaves from the forest; O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
सर्वं परिक्रोशं जहि जम्भया कृकदाश्वम् । आ तू न इन्द्र शंसय गोष्वश्वेषु शुभ्रिषु सहस्रेषु तुवीमघ
Destroy all outcry, silence the neighing horse; O Indra, grant us your favor among cattle, among horses, among the bright ones, among thousands, O bountiful one.
वि त्वा ततस्रे मिथुना अवस्यवो व्रजस्य साता गव्यस्य निःसृजः सक्षन्त इन्द्र निःसृजः । यद्गव्यन्त द्वा जना स्वर्यन्ता समूहसि । आविष्करिक्रद्वृषणं सचाभुवं वज्रमिन्द्र सचाभुवम्
Three pairs of helpers have released you, O Indra, as the guides of the herd, the droves of cattle; when two peoples, seeking cattle or sunlight, you gather together, then reveal the mighty, ever-strong thunderbolt, O Indra.
विदुष्टे अस्य वीर्यस्य पूरवः पुरो यदिन्द्र शारदीरवातिरः सासहानो अवातिरः । शासस्तमिन्द्र मर्त्यमयजुं शवसस्पते । महीममुष्णाः पृथिवीमिमा अपो मन्दसान इमा अपः
The Purus knew of this strength of yours, O Indra, when you descended upon the autumnal forts, conquering as you descended; command, O Indra, the mortal who does not sacrifice, O lord of might; scorch the vast earth, dry up these waters, these flowing waters.
आदित्ते अस्य वीर्यस्य चर्किरन् मदेषु वृषन्न् उशिजो यदाविथ सखीयतो यदाविथ । चकर्थ कारमेभ्यः पृतनासु प्रवन्तवे । ते अन्यामन्यां नद्यं सनिष्णत श्रवस्यन्तः सनिष्णत
From this strength of yours, O bull, they rejoiced in the Soma-pressings, when you, O Indra, aided the Usijs as a friend; you made a path for them to advance in battle; they, seeking fame, crossed one river after another.
वने न वा यो न्यधायि चाक्रं छुचिर्वां स्तोमो भुरणावजीगः । यस्येदिन्द्रः पुरुदिनेषु होता नृणां नर्वो नृतमः क्षपावान्
Like a wheel set in the forest, pure is the hymn, eager for praise, striving for victory; for whom, O Indra, you are the Hotar among men, the best of men, the lord of the night.
प्र ते अस्या उषसः प्रापरस्या नृतौ स्याम नृतमस्य नृणाम् । अनु त्रिशोकः शतमावहन् नॄन् कुत्सेन रथो यो असत्ससवान्
May we attain the glory of this dawn, may we be in the contest of the best among men; following Triśoka, a hundred men were brought by the chariot, which, with Kutsa, was victorious in battle.
कस्ते मद इन्द्र रन्त्यो भूद्दुरो गिरो अभ्युग्रो वि धाव । कद्वाहो अर्वागुप मा मनीषा आ त्वा शक्यामुपमं राधो अन्नैः
What exhilaration of yours, O Indra, is delightful, what utterance, O mighty one, is most impetuous—who will bring near, who will carry our prayer? May I attain your highest bounty with food.
कदु द्युम्नमिन्द्र त्वावतो नॄन् कया धिया करसे कन् न आगन् । मित्रो न सत्य उरुगाय भृत्या अन्ने समस्य यदसन् मनीषाः
What glory, O Indra, do you grant to your men, by what thought do you act, who comes to us? Like Mitra, true in his service, you are widely praised, when our thoughts are united in desire for food.
प्रेरय सूरो अर्थं न पारं ये अस्य कामं जनिधा इव ग्मन् । गिरश्च ये ते तुविजात पूर्वीर्नर इन्द्र प्रतिशिक्षन्त्यन्नैः
Drive forth, O mighty one, as a man seeks the farthest goal; those who desire him move as if to be born anew. And those voices, ancient and powerful, O men, Indra, they respond to you with offerings of food.
मात्रे नु ते सुमिते इन्द्र पूर्वी द्यौर्मज्मना पृथिवी काव्येन । वराय ते घृतवन्तः सुतासः स्वाद्नन् भवन्तु पीतये मधूनि
For you, Indra, the vast heavens with their strength and the earth with her wisdom have been measured as your mother. For your delight, may the clarified butter and sweet drinks be ready for drinking, may the honeyed offerings be pleasing.
