ओजस्तदस्य तित्विष उभे यत्समवर्तयत्। इन्द्रश्चर्मेव रोदसी
His vigor and brilliance, when he brought both together, Indra enveloped the heavens like a covering.
वि चिद्वृत्रस्य दोधतो वज्रेण शतपर्वणा । शिरो बिभेद्वृष्णिना
With the hundred-knotted thunderbolt, he split the head of the resisting Vritra.

He is the greatest among beings, born fierce and heroic; newly born, he immediately destroys enemies, and all powers rejoice in him.
वावृधानः शवसा भूर्योजाः शत्रुर्दासाय भियसं दधाति । अव्यनच्च व्यनच्च सस्नि सं ते नवन्त प्रभृता मदेषु
Increasing in might and abundant strength, he brings fear to the enemy for the Dasa; he protected and defended, and all your gifts are offered in the intoxications.
त्वे क्रतुमपि पृञ्चन्ति भूरि द्विर्यदेते त्रिर्भवन्त्यूमाः । स्वादोः स्वादीयः स्वादुना सृजा समदः सु मधु मधुनाभि योधीः
They fill you with wisdom, abundant and twice, when these powers become threefold; the sweetest, sweeter than sweet, release the joy, O intoxicating one, join the honey with honey.
यदि चिन् नु त्वा धना जयन्तं रणेरणे अनुमदन्ति विप्राः । ओजीयः शुष्मिन्त्स्थिरमा तनुष्व मा त्वा दभन् दुरेवासः कशोकाः
Even if the sages praise you as victorious in battle, strengthen your firm body, O mighty one; let not the evil-minded or sorrowful harm you.
त्वया वयं शाशद्महे रणेषु प्रपश्यन्तो युधेन्यानि भूरि । चोदयामि त आयुधा वचोभिः सं ते शिशामि ब्रह्मणा वयांसि
With you, we gain victory in battles, seeing many acts of war; I urge your weapons with words, I sharpen your strength with prayer.
नि तद्दधिषेऽवरे परे च यस्मिन्न् आविथावसा दुरोणे । आ स्थापयत मातरं जिगत्नुमत इन्वत कर्वराणि भूरि
You place that in the lower and upper realms, in which you dwell in the home; establish the mother, the moving one, and stir many treasures.
स्तुष्व वर्ष्मन् पुरुवर्त्मानं समृभ्वाणमिनतममाप्तमाप्त्यानाम् । आ दर्शति शवसा भूर्योजाः प्र सक्षति प्रतिमानं पृथिव्याः
Praise the one who dwells in the heights, who moves on many paths, who is mighty, most powerful among the powerful. By his strength he reveals vast energy, he extends the measure of the earth.
इमा ब्रह्म बृहद्दिवः कृणवदिन्द्राय शूषमग्नियः स्वर्षाः । महो गोत्रस्य क्षयति स्वराजा तुरश्चिद्विश्वमर्णवत्तपस्वान्
These hymns, born of the great heaven, have made a shout for Indra, for Agni, bringers of light. The lord of the great clan rules in splendor; even the swift one, full of power, surpasses all with his austerity.
एवा महान् बृहद्दिवो अथर्वावोचत्स्वां तन्वमिन्द्रमेव । स्वसारौ मातरिभ्वरी अरिप्रे हिन्वन्ति चैने शवसा वर्धयन्ति च
Thus the great Atharvan of the vast heaven has spoken of you, Indra, as your very self. The two sisters, Mātariśvan and Bhavarī, urge you on and by their strength cause you to grow.
चित्रं देवानां केतुरनीकं ज्योतिष्मान् प्रदिशः सूर्य उद्यन् । दिवाकरोऽति द्युम्नैस्तमांसि विश्वातारीद्दुरितानि शुक्रः
A wondrous sign of the gods, a radiant form, the Sun rises in all directions. The maker of day, surpassing in glory, dispels all darkness; the shining one drives away every evil.

The Sun, like a young man approaching a maiden, comes after the shining dawn. There, men devoted to the gods stretch out the ages, answering good with good.
त्वं न इन्द्रा भरमोजो नृम्णं शतक्रतो विचर्षणे । आ वीरं पृतनाषहम्
You, O Indra, are our strength and manliness, O hundred-powered, wise among men. Bring us the hero who conquers in battle.
त्वं हि नः पिता वसो त्वं माता शतक्रतो बभूविथ । अधा ते सुम्नमीमहे
You are our father, O gracious one; you are our mother, O hundred-powered. Therefore we seek your favor.
त्वां शुष्मिन् पुरुहूत वाजयन्तमुप ब्रुवे शतक्रतो । स नो रास्व सुवीर्यम्
To you, O much-invoked, mighty Indra, I call, who wins the prize. Grant us heroic strength.

Sweetly, at the meeting place, the cows drink the honeyed draught. They, together with Indra, the mighty, rejoice; shining ones, they follow the rule of sovereignty.

इन्द्राय मदूने सुतं परि ष्टोभन्तु नो गिरः । अर्कमर्चन्तु कारवः
Let our songs resound for Indra, for whom the Soma has been pressed. Let the poets praise him with hymns.
यस्मिन् विश्वा अधि श्रियो रणन्ति सप्त संसदः । इन्द्रं सुते हवामहे
In whom all riches abide, where the seven gatherings rejoice— we call upon Indra at the pressing of the Soma.
त्रिकद्रुकेषु चेतनं देवासो यज्ञमत्नत । तमिद्वर्धन्तु नो गिरः
At the Trikadruka festival, the gods have honored the conscious one with sacrifice. Let our songs magnify him.
यत्सोममिन्द्र विष्णवि यद्वा घ त्रित आप्त्ये । यद्वा मरुत्सु मन्दसे समिन्दुभिः
Whatever Soma, O Indra, you have enjoyed with Viṣṇu, or with Trita Āptya, or with the Maruts—
यद्वा शक्र परावति समुद्रे अधि मन्दसे । अस्माकमित्सुते रणा समिन्दुभिः
Or, O mighty one, whatever you have enjoyed on the distant ocean, may you rejoice in our pressed Soma with the drops.

Or whatever you are, O supporter of the sacrificer, at the pressing of the Soma, or when you delight in the hymn— may you rejoice in our pressed Soma with the drops.
यदद्य कच्च वृत्रहन्न् उदगा अभि सूर्य । सर्वं तदिन्द्र ते वशे
O slayer of Vṛtra, whatever has arisen today, even the sun in the sky— all this, O Indra, is under your control.
यद्वा प्रवृद्ध सत्पते न मरा इति मन्यसे । उतो तत्सत्यमित्तव
Or if, O Lord of the good, you think, 'I am not to be overcome,' then indeed, that is the truth, O mighty one.
ये सोमासः परावति ये अर्वावति सुन्विरे । सर्वांस्तामिन्द्र गच्छसि
All the Somas that are pressed far away and those that are pressed nearby— you, Indra, reach all of them.
उभयं शृणवच्च न इन्द्रो अर्वागिदं वचः । सत्राच्या मघवा सोमपीतये धिया शविष्ठ आ गमत्
Indra, listen to both sides; come near to this speech. Let the generous one come together with wisdom, O most powerful, for the drinking of Soma.
