आ पप्राथ महिना वृष्ण्या वृषन् विश्वा शविष्ठ शवसा । अस्मामव मघवन् गोमति व्रजे वज्रिं चित्राभिरूतिभिः
You have expanded with your might and manliness, O powerful one, with all your strength. Protect us, O generous one, in the herd rich with cattle, O wielder of the thunderbolt, with your splendid aids.
उत्त्वा मन्दन्तु स्तोमाः कृणुष्व राधो अद्रिवः । अव ब्रह्मद्विषो जहि
Let hymns praise you; grant us wealth, O stone-wielder. Strike down those who hate sacred knowledge.
पदा पणींरराधसो नि बाधस्व महामसि । नहि त्वा कश्चन प्रति
With your foot, drive away the stingy and the wealth-withholders, for you are great; no one can oppose you.
त्वमीशिषे सुतानामिन्द्र त्वमसुतानाम् । त्वं राजा जनानाम्
You are the lord of the pressed Soma, Indra, and of the unpressed; you are the king of the people.
ईङ्खयन्तीरपस्युव इन्द्रं जातमुपासते । भेजानासः सुवीर्यम्
Longing, they look upon Indra, the born one, and worship him, seeking to share in his heroic strength.
त्वमिन्द्र बलादधि सहसो जात ओजसः । त्वं वृषन् वृषेदसि
You, Indra, are established in strength, born of power and vigor; you, the mighty one, excel in might.
त्वमिन्द्रासि वृत्रहा व्यन्तरिक्षमतिरः । उद्द्यामस्तभ्ना ओजसा
You, Indra, are the slayer of Vṛtra; you have surpassed the midspace; you have upheld the heavens with your power.
त्वमिन्द्र सजोषसमर्कं बिभर्षि बाह्वोः । वज्रं शिशान ओजसा
You, Indra, bear the thunderbolt with both arms, united in purpose, grasping the weapon with your strength.
त्वमिन्द्राभिभुरसि विश्वा जातान्योजसा । स विश्वा भुव आभवः
You, Indra, are all-conquering; with your power you surpass all that has come into being; you are the source of all existences.
आ यात्विन्द्रः स्वपतिर्मदाय यो धर्मणा तूतुजानस्तुविष्मान् । प्रत्वक्षाणो अति विश्वा सहांस्यपारेण महता वृष्ण्येन
Let Indra, the lord of wealth, come for exhilaration, who, steadfast in law, is eager and powerful, whose form is turned toward all victories, with boundless, great manliness.
सुष्ठामा रथः सुयमा हरी ते मिम्यक्ष वज्रो नृपते गभस्तौ । शीभं राजन् सुपथा याह्यर्वाङ्वर्धाम ते पपुसो वृष्ण्यानि
Your chariot is well-made, your steeds well-yoked, O lord; the thunderbolt is in your grasp, O king. O ruler, travel by the good path; let your manly powers increase for us, O Soma-drinker.
एन्द्रवाहो नृपतिं वज्रबाहुमुग्रमुग्रासस्तविषास एनम् । प्रत्वक्षसं वृषभं सत्यशुष्ममेमस्मत्रा सधमादो वहन्तु
Let those who bear Indra, the king, the thunder-armed, the fierce, the fierce-armed, the powerful, carry him, the bull with true strength, whose form is turned toward us, to our assembly.
एवा पतिं द्रोणसाचं सचेतसमूर्ज स्कम्भं धरुण आ वृषायसे । ओजः कृष्व सं गृभाय त्वे अप्यसो यथा केनिपानामिनो वृधे
Thus, as lord, as the wise one, as the support of strength, you are established in the vessel, O vigorous one. Take up your power, seize it for yourself, as the Kenipānas, ever increasing, do.
गमन्न् अस्मे वसून्या हि शंसिषं स्वाशिषं भरमा याहि सोमिनः । त्वमीशिषे सास्मिन्न् आ सत्सि बर्हिष्यनाधृष्या तव पात्राणि धर्मणा
May riches come to us; I have praised you. Bring us your favor, bring the blessings of the Soma-offerer. You are the lord; sit here on this sacred grass, invincible, your vessels established by law.
पृथक्प्रायन् प्रथमा देवहूतयोऽकृण्वत श्रवस्यानि दुष्टरा । न ये शेकुर्यज्ञियां नावमारुहमिर्मैव ते न्यविशन्त केपयः
Separately, the first divine invocations have made renowned, hard-to-overcome things. Those who could not board the sacrificial ship did not settle among the Kenipas.
एवैवापागपरे सन्तु दूध्योऽश्वा येषां दुर्युग आयुयुज्रे । इत्था ये प्रागुपरे सन्ति दावने पुरूणि यत्र वयुनानि भोजना
Let those who are far away, at the other shore, remain distant—whose horses are badly yoked. Thus, those who are earlier or later at the burning, where there are many paths and foods.
गिरींरज्रान् रेजमानामधारयद्द्यौः क्रन्ददन्तरिक्षाणि कोपयत्। समीचीने धिषणे वि ष्कभायति वृष्णः पीत्वा मद उक्थानि शंसति
When the trembling mountain was upheld, the heavens roared and the midspaces were shaken; the wise one, drawing near, steadies both, and the mighty one, having drunk the exhilaration, proclaims the hymns.
इमं बिभर्मि सुकृतं ते अङ्कुशं येनारुजासि मघवं छफारुजः । अस्मिन्त्सु ते सवने अस्त्वोक्त्यं सुत इष्टौ मघवन् बोध्याभगः
I hold for you this well-made goad, by which you strike Maghavan and break the hooves; may the pressed and offered Soma be your portion in this very sacrifice, O Maghavan, be awake to the share.
गोभिष्टरेमामतिं दुरेवां यवेन क्षुधं पुरुहूत विश्वाम् । वयं राजभिः प्रथमा धनान्यस्माकेन वृजनेना जयेम
With cows, with barley, with all food, O much-invoked one, drive away hunger and all harm; may we, with our leaders, win the foremost wealth by our own force in the contest.
बृहस्पतिर्नः परि पातु पश्चादुतोत्तरस्मादधरादघयोः । इन्द्रः पुरस्तादुत मध्यतो नः सखा सखिभ्यो वरिवः कृणोतु
May Bṛhaspati protect us from behind, from above, from below, from all harm; may Indra guard us in front and in the middle, as a friend, making a path for his friends.
त्रिकद्रुकेषु महिषो यवाशिरं तुविशुष्मस्तृपत्सोममपिबद्विष्णुना सुतं यथावशत्। स ईं ममाद महि कर्म कर्तवे महामुरुं सैनं सश्चद्देवो देवं सत्यमिन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः
In the three-wooded pressings, the buffalo with barley on his head, very strong, drank the Soma as he wished, pressed by Viṣṇu; he rejoiced in it, to perform a great deed, the god accompanied the god, the true Indra with the true Soma.
प्रो ष्वस्मै पुरोरथमिन्द्राय शूषमर्चत । अभीके चिदु लोककृत्संगे समत्सु वृत्रहास्माकं बोधि चोदिता नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु
Sing forth strength for Indra, the chariot-leader, in the forefront; even in the gathering, in the battles, O slayer of Vṛtra, be our inspiration; let the bowstrings of others be broken on the fields.
त्वं सिन्धूंरवासृजोऽधराचो अहन्न् अहिम् । अशत्रुरिन्द्र जज्ञिषे विश्वं पुष्यसि वार्यं तं त्वा परि ष्वजामहे नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु
You released the rivers, you struck down the serpent below; you were born unconquered, Indra, you possess all treasures; we embrace you, let the bowstrings of others be broken on the fields.
वि षु विश्वा अरातयोऽर्यो नशन्त नो धियः । अस्तासि शत्रवे वधं यो न इन्द्र जिघांसति या ते रातिर्ददिर्वसु । नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्यका अधि धन्वसु
Scatter all our enemies, let the hostile ones perish, let not our thoughts be lost; set destruction for the foe who seeks to harm us, Indra, whatever your gift, O giver of wealth; let the bowstrings of others be broken on the fields.
तीव्रस्याभिवयसो अस्य पाहि सर्वरथा वि हरी इह मुञ्च । इन्द्र मा त्वा यजमानासो अन्ये नि रीरमन् तुभ्यमिमे सुतासः
Protect us from this sharp, overwhelming attack; drive away all harm, release us here; O Indra, let not other worshippers detain you, these pressed offerings are for you.
तुभ्यं सुतास्तुभ्यमु सोत्वासस्त्वां गिरः श्वात्र्या आ ह्वयन्ति । इन्द्रेदमद्य सवनं जुषाणो विश्वस्य विद्वामिह पाहि सोमम्
For you are the pressed offerings, for you the libations; to you the hymns, with eager voice, call; O Indra, delighting in this very sacrifice today, knowing all, drink the Soma here.
य उशता मनसा सोममस्मै सर्वहृदा देवकामः सुनोति । न गा इन्द्रस्तस्य परा ददाति प्रशस्तमिच्चारुमस्मै कृणोति
He who, with eager mind and all his heart, presses Soma for him, desiring the god, Indra does not take away his cattle; rather, he makes for him what is praised and beautiful.
अनुस्पष्टो भवत्येषो अस्य यो अस्मै रेवान् न सुनोति सोमम् । निररत्नौ मघवा तं दधाति ब्रह्मद्विषो हन्त्यनानुदिष्टः
But this one becomes despised, who does not press Soma for him, though he is wealthy; Maghavan makes him destitute, he strikes down the Brahman-hater, the one not properly addressed.
अश्वायन्तो गव्यन्तो वाजयन्तो हवामहे त्वोपगन्तवा उ । आभूषन्तस्ते सुमतौ नवायां वयमिन्द्र त्वा शुनं हुवेम
Those who seek horses, who seek cows, who seek prizes, we call you, O Indra, who should come to us; may we adorn you with new favor, O Indra, we call you for blessing.
मुञ्चामि त्वा हविषा जीवनाय कमज्ञातयक्ष्मादुत राजयक्ष्मात्। ग्राहिर्जग्राह यद्येतद्तस्या इन्द्राग्नी प्र मुमुक्तमेनम्
I release you with offering for life, from known and royal disease; if the seizure has seized this one, O Indra and Agni, release him from it.
