न त्वावामन्यो दिव्यो न पार्थिवो न जातो न जनिष्यते । अश्वायन्तो मघवन्न् इन्द्र वाजिनो गव्यन्तस्त्वा हवामहे
No one in heaven or on earth, none born or to be born, is your equal. O generous Indra, we invoke you who possess horses and seek cattle.
रेवतीर्नः सधमाद इन्द्रे सन्तु तुविवाजाः । क्षुमन्तो याभिर्मदेम
May splendid gatherings with Indra be ours, rich in prizes, with which we may rejoice.
आ घ त्वावान् त्मनाप्त स्तोतृभ्यो धृष्णवियानः । ऋणोरक्षं न चक्रयोः
May you, mighty one, with your own power, come to the singers, bold and unconquered, like the axle of a chariot that does not break.
आ यद्दुवः शतक्रतवा कामं जरितॄणाम् । ऋणोरक्षं न शचीभिः
Whenever, O hundred-powered one, you grant the wish of the singers, like the axle of a chariot, with your powers.
तत्सूर्यस्य देवत्वं तन् महित्वं मध्या कर्तोर्विततं सं जभार । यदेदयुक्त हरितः सधस्थादाद्रात्री वासस्तनुते सिमस्मै
That is the divinity of the sun, that is its greatness, spread in the midst of the sky; when he has yoked his green steeds from his seat, then night draws out her garment for him.
तन् मित्रस्य वरुणस्याभिचक्षे सूर्यो रूपं कृणुते द्योरुपस्थे । अनन्तमन्यद्रुशदस्य पाजः कृष्णमन्यद्धरितः सं भरन्ति
That form of Mitra and Varuṇa, the sun makes manifest on the lap of the sky; one endless power is of the shining one, another, dark, the green ones bear together.
कया नश्चित्र आ भुवदूती सदावृधः सखा । कया शचिष्ठया वृता
By what wondrous power does he come to us, ever-growing, as a friend? By what most powerful aid is he chosen?
कस्त्वा सत्यो मदानां मंहिष्ठो मत्सदन्धसः । दृल्हा चिदारुजे वसु
Who among your true delights is the greatest, who rejoices in the pressed Soma? Even the firm ones you break, O giver of wealth.
अभी षु नः सखीनामविता जरितॄणाम् । शतं भवास्यूतिभिः
Be for us the protector of our friends, of the singers; may you be a hundredfold with your aids.
इमा नु कं भुवना सीषधामेन्द्रश्च विश्वे च देवाः । यज्ञं च नस्तन्वं च प्रजां चादित्यैरिन्द्रः सह चीकॢपाति
Which of these worlds shall we attain—Indra and all the gods? May Indra, together with the Ādityas, arrange our sacrifice, our bodies, and our offspring.
आदित्यैरिन्द्रः सगणो मरुद्भिरस्माकं भूत्वविता तनूनाम् । हत्वाय देवा असुरान् यदायन् देवा देवत्वमभिरक्षमाणाः
May Indra with the Ādityas and the Maruts be the protector of our persons; when the gods, having slain the Asuras, drove them away, the gods, preserving divinity.
प्रत्यञ्चमर्कमनयं छचीभिरादित्स्वधामिषिरां पर्यपश्यन् । अया वाजं देवहितं सनेम मदेम शतहिमाः सुवीराः
With your powers I have led the hymn back, having seen the nourishing food with insight; by this, may we win the prize, favored by the gods, may we rejoice for a hundred winters with heroic sons.
अपेन्द्र प्राचो मघवन्न् अमित्रान् अपापाचो अभिभूते नुदस्व । अपोदीचो अप शूराधराच उरौ यथा तव शर्मन् मदेम
O Indra, generous one, drive away the enemies from the east, from below, and from above; drive them away from the north and from the south, so that we may rejoice in your wide protection.
कुविदङ्ग यवमन्तो यवं चिद्यथा दान्त्यनुपूर्वं वियूय । इहेहैषां कृणुहि भोजनानि ये बर्हिषो नमोवृक्तिं न जग्मुः
Perhaps those who possess barley, even barley itself, may be subdued in order; here, prepare food for those who have not approached the sacrificial grass with reverence.
नहि स्थूर्यृतुथा यातमस्ति नोत श्रवो विविदे संगमेषु । गव्यन्त इन्द्रं सख्याय विप्रा अश्वायन्तो वृषणं वाजयन्तः
There is no journey undertaken in vain, nor is fame gained in gatherings; the wise seek Indra for friendship, desiring cows and horses, striving for strength.
युवं सुराममश्विना नमुचावासुरे सचा । विपिपाना शुभस्पती इन्द्रं कर्मस्वावतम्
You two, Ashvins, together with Namuci, the Asura, have drunk the strong drink; you, the radiant lords, together with Indra, accomplish deeds.
पुत्रमिव पितरावश्विनोभेन्द्रावथुः काव्यैर्दंसनाभिः । यत्सुरामं व्यपिबः शचीभिः सरस्वती त्वा मघवन्न् अभिष्णक्
Like parents to a son, Ashvins, you and Indra protected him with poetic words and teeth; when you drank the strong drink with Shachis, Sarasvati, O generous one, praised you.
इन्द्रः सुत्रामा स्ववामवोभिः सुमृडीको भवतु विश्ववेदाः । बाधतां द्वेषो अभयं नः कृणोतु सुवीर्यस्य पतयः स्याम
Indra, the wise, possessing good gifts and kind, knowing all things, may he drive away hatred and grant us fearlessness; may we be lords of heroic strength.
स सुत्रामा स्ववामिन्द्रो अस्मदाराच्चिद्द्वेषः सनुतर्युयोतु । तस्य वयं सुमतौ यज्ञियस्यापि भद्रे सौमनसे स्याम
May Indra, wise and generous, drive away hatred even from us; may we be in the good favor and happy mind of the worshipful one.
