पुनर्वै देवा अददुः पुनर्मनुष्या उत । राजानः सत्यं कृण्वाना ब्रह्मजायां पुनर्ददुः
The gods indeed restored her, and men also did so. The kings, upholding truth, restored the Brahman's wife.
पुनर्दाय ब्रह्मजायां कृत्वी देवैर्निकिल्बिषम् । ऊर्जं पृथिव्या भक्त्वायोरुगायमुपासते
Having restored the priest's wife, making her free from guilt with the gods, they partake of the earth's nourishment, singing the great hymn.
समिद्धो अद्य मनुषो दुरोणे देवो देवान्यजसि जातवेदः । आ च वह मित्रमहश्चिकित्वान्त्वं दूतः कविरसि प्रचेताः
Kindled today in the home of man, O god Jātavedas, you sacrifice to the gods; bring here Mitra and Varuṇa, knowing, for you are the messenger, the sage, the wise one.
तनूनपात्पथ ऋतस्य यानान्मध्वा समञ्जन्स्वदया सुजिह्व । मन्मानि धीभिरुत यज्ञमृन्धन्देवत्रा च कृणुह्यध्वरं नः
O Tanūnapāt, who travels the path of truth, anointed with honey, sweet-tongued by nature, accept our thoughts with understanding, and grant our sacrifice; make our ritual successful among the gods.
आजुह्वान ईड्यो वन्द्यश्चा याह्यग्ने वसुभिः सजोषाः । त्वं देवानामसि यह्व होता स एनान्यक्षीषितो यजीयान्
Worthy of praise and worship, come, O Agni, together with the Vasus; you are the mighty priest of the gods—by this, being invoked, you become the most worthy of sacrifice.
प्राचीनं बर्हिः प्रदिशा पृथिव्या वस्तोरस्या वृज्यते अग्रे अह्नाम् । व्यु प्रथते वितरं वरीयो देवेभ्यो अदितये स्योनम्
Let the sacred grass be spread eastward on the earth, at the forefront of the dwelling, at the beginning of the days; let the broad, excellent seat extend widely for the gods, for Aditi, as a pleasant resting place.
व्यचस्वतीरुर्विया वि श्रयन्तां पतिभ्यो न जनयः शुम्भमानाः । देवीर्द्वारो बृहतीर्विश्वमिन्वा देवेभ्यो भवत सुप्रायणाः
Let the shining, spacious seats be spread out, like wives adorned for their husbands; let the divine, great doors, all-embracing, be easy of access for the gods.
आ सुष्वयन्ती यजते उपाके उषासानक्ता सदतां नि योनौ । दिव्ये योषणे बृहती सुरुक्मे अधि श्रियं शुक्रपिशं दधाने
Let the one who awakens the sacrifice come near; let Dawn and Night sit together in their place; the divine maidens, great and splendid, bearing radiant adornment, hold their shining beauty.
दैव्या होतारा प्रथमा सुवाचा मिमाना यज्ञं मनुषो यजध्यै । प्रचोदयन्ता विदथेषु कारू प्राचीनं ज्योतिः प्रदिशा दिशन्ता
The divine priests, first and eloquent, measuring the sacrifice for men to perform, inspiring the poets in the assemblies, point out the ancient light in the east.
आ नो यज्ञं भारती तूयमेत्विळा मनुष्वदिह चेतयन्ती । तिस्रो देवीर्बर्हिरेदं स्योनं सरस्वती स्वपसः सदन्तु
May Bhāratī, Iḻā, and Sarasvatī, the three goddesses, come to our sacrifice, attentive among men; may they sit on this sacred grass, bringing happiness, possessing true insight.
य इमे द्यावापृथिवी जनित्री रूपैरपिंशद्भुवनानि विश्वा । तमद्य होतरिषितो यजीयान्देवं त्वष्टारमिह यक्षि विद्वान्
He who, with forms, has adorned all these worlds—heaven and earth, the two mothers—today, guided by the priest, offer sacrifice to that god Tvaṣṭṛ, knowing him.
उपावसृज त्मन्या समञ्जन्देवानां पाथ ऋतुथा हवींषि । वनस्पतिः शमिता देवो अग्निः स्वदन्तु हव्यं मधुना घृतेन
Send forth, arranging properly, the offerings for the gods in due order; let the Lord of the Forest, the appeaser, god Agni, taste the oblation with honey and ghee.
सद्यो जातो व्यमिमीत यज्ञमग्निर्देवानामभवत्पुरोगाः । अस्य होतुः प्रदिश्यृतस्य वाचि स्वाहाकृतं हविरदन्तु देवाः
Agni, born at once, measured out the sacrifice and became the leader of the gods; at the priest's command, in the speech of truth, may the gods taste the oblation offered with 'svāhā.'
मनीषिणः प्र भरध्वं मनीषां यथायथा मतयः सन्ति नृणाम् । इन्द्रं सत्यैरेरयामा कृतेभिः स हि वीरो गिर्वणस्युर्विदानः
O thoughtful ones, bring forth your thought as each man's ideas arise; let us move Indra with true deeds, for he is the hero, the singer, the knower of knowledge.
ऋतस्य हि सदसो धीतिरद्यौत्सं गार्ष्टेयो वृषभो गोभिरानट् । उदतिष्ठत्तविषेणा रवेण महान्ति चित्सं विव्याचा रजांसि
Indeed, the inspiration of truth has shone forth from the seat of truth; the bull, son of the house, has come with cows; he has risen with force and with a roar, and even the great spaces he has separated.
इन्द्रः किल श्रुत्या अस्य वेद स हि जिष्णुः पथिकृत्सूर्याय । आन्मेनां कृण्वन्नच्युतो भुवद्गोः पतिर्दिवः सनजा अप्रतीतः
Indra, indeed, by his fame knows this; for he is victorious, path-maker for the sun; making this one firm, he became the unshaken, lord of the cow, of heaven, ancient, unconquered.
इन्द्रो मह्ना महतो अर्णवस्य व्रतामिनादङ्गिरोभिर्गृणानः । पुरूणि चिन्नि तताना रजांसि दाधार यो धरुणं सत्यताता
Indra, by his greatness, praised by the Angirases, established the laws of the great ocean; he stretched out many regions and upheld the support, the foundation of truth.
इन्द्रो दिवः प्रतिमानं पृथिव्या विश्वा वेद सवना हन्ति शुष्णम् । महीं चिद्द्यामातनोत्सूर्येण चास्कम्भ चित्कम्भनेन स्कभीयान्
Indra knows the measure of heaven and earth; he knows all the places and strikes down Śuṣṇa; he stretched out the great sky with the sun, and with his pillar he propped up even the support.
वज्रेण हि वृत्रहा वृत्रमस्तरदेवस्य शूशुवानस्य मायाः । वि धृष्णो अत्र धृषता जघन्थाथाभवो मघवन्बाह्वोजाः
For with the thunderbolt, the slayer of Vṛtra struck down Vṛtra, the godless one's magic; O bold one, here with your boldness you have shattered them—thus, O bountiful one, you became strong with the might of your arms.
सचन्त यदुषसः सूर्येण चित्रामस्य केतवो रामविन्दन् । आ यन्नक्षत्रं ददृशे दिवो न पुनर्यतो नकिरद्धा नु वेद
The banners of the Yadus, shining with the dawn and the sun, have found delight in radiance; when the constellation was seen, like the sky, no one knows from where it came, nor where it has truly gone.
दूरं किल प्रथमा जग्मुरासामिन्द्रस्य याः प्रसवे सस्रुरापः । क्व स्विदग्रं क्व बुध्न आसामापो मध्यं क्व वो नूनमन्तः
Indeed, the earliest of these waters went far away, which, at Indra’s urging, flowed forth; where, indeed, is their source, where their foundation, where is their middle, and where now is their end?
सृजः सिन्धूँरहिना जग्रसानाँ आदिदेताः प्र विविज्रे जवेन । मुमुक्षमाणा उत या मुमुच्रेऽधेदेता न रमन्ते नितिक्ताः
The rivers, grasped by the serpent, were released; then they rushed forth with speed; those who wished to be set free were indeed liberated, but those who were restrained did not find delight.
सध्रीचीः सिन्धुमुशतीरिवायन्सनाज्जार आरितः पूर्भिदासाम् । अस्तमा ते पार्थिवा वसून्यस्मे जग्मुः सूनृता इन्द्र पूर्वीः
Together, the rivers, roaring, hastened toward the Sindhu; the old barrier was shattered by the opener of the way; those ancient earthly riches have gone to rest, O Indra, many gracious ones have come to us.
इन्द्र पिब प्रतिकामं सुतस्य प्रातःसावस्तव हि पूर्वपीतिः । हर्षस्व हन्तवे शूर शत्रूनुक्थेभिष्टे वीर्या प्र ब्रवाम
Indra, drink the pressed Soma as you desire in the morning offering, for your first draught is indeed at dawn; rejoice, hero, in order to strike down enemies; with hymns, we proclaim your heroic deeds.
यस्ते रथो मनसो जवीयानेन्द्र तेन सोमपेयाय याहि । तूयमा ते हरयः प्र द्रवन्तु येभिर्यासि वृषभिर्मन्दमानः
With your chariot, swifter than thought, O Indra, come here to drink Soma; let your bays hasten eagerly, with which you, the bull, delight as you ride.
हरित्वता वर्चसा सूर्यस्य श्रेष्ठै रूपैस्तन्वं स्पर्शयस्व । अस्माभिरिन्द्र सखिभिर्हुवानः सध्रीचीनो मादयस्वा निषद्य
With the brilliance and radiance of the sun, touch your body with the finest forms; with us, your friends, O Indra, being invoked, rejoice together, sitting down.
यस्य त्यत्ते महिमानं मदेष्विमे मही रोदसी नाविविक्ताम् । तदोक आ हरिभिरिन्द्र युक्तैः प्रियेभिर्याहि प्रियमन्नमच्छ
Whose greatness, O Indra, in the intoxications, these vast heavens and earth have not surpassed; to that home, with your yoked bays, come, Indra, with your beloved ones, come to the dear food.
यस्य शश्वत्पपिवाँ इन्द्र शत्रूननानुकृत्या रण्या चकर्थ । स ते पुरंधिं तविषीमियर्ति स ते मदाय सुत इन्द्र सोमः
You, Indra, who have always drunk, have destroyed enemies, performing mighty deeds without imitation; he arouses for you the generous one’s strength, for your exhilaration, Indra, Soma is pressed.
इदं ते पात्रं सनवित्तमिन्द्र पिबा सोममेना शतक्रतो । पूर्ण आहावो मदिरस्य मध्वो यं विश्व इदभिहर्यन्ति देवाः
This vessel, filled for you, O Indra, drink the Soma, O hundred-powered one; the call is full of intoxicating sweetness, which all the gods desire to enjoy.
वि हि त्वामिन्द्र पुरुधा जनासो हितप्रयसो वृषभ ह्वयन्ते । अस्माकं ते मधुमत्तमानीमा भुवन्सवना तेषु हर्य
For indeed, O Indra, many peoples, with offerings, call upon you, O bull; these most honeyed libations of ours are for you—rejoice in these at the pressing.
