यो न इन्द्राभितो जनो वृकायुरादिदेशति । अधस्पदं तमीं कृधि विबाधो असि सासहिर्नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु
Whoever, near us, acts as a wolf, let him be brought low, O Indra. You are the remover of obstacles, the conqueror; let the bows of others break upon the battlefield.
यो न इन्द्राभिदासति सनाभिर्यश्च निष्ट्यः । अव तस्य बलं तिर महीव द्यौरध त्मना नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु
Whoever attacks us, whether with kin or as an outsider, diminish his strength, O Indra, as heaven diminishes by its own power. Let the bows of others break upon the battlefield.
वयमिन्द्र त्वायवः सखित्वमा रभामहे । ऋतस्य नः पथा नयाति विश्वानि दुरिता नभन्तामन्यकेषां ज्याका अधि धन्वसु
We, Indra, seek your friendship; we grasp it. Lead us by the path of truth, remove all evils. Let the bows of others break upon the battlefield.
अस्मभ्यं सु त्वमिन्द्र तां शिक्ष या दोहते प्रति वरं जरित्रे । अच्छिद्रोध्नी पीपयद्यथा नः सहस्रधारा पयसा मही गौः
Grant us, Indra, that blessing which yields milk, the best gift for the worshipper. Let the unbroken cow nourish us with a thousand streams of milk.
उभे यदिन्द्र रोदसी आपप्राथोषा इव । महान्तं त्वा महीनां सम्राजं चर्षणीनां देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत्
When, Indra, you fill both heaven and earth, like the dawns, the divine mother has given birth to you, the great king of the mighty, the ruler of peoples; the blessed mother has given birth.
अव स्म दुर्हणायतो मर्तस्य तनुहि स्थिरम् । अधस्पदं तमीं कृधि यो अस्माँ आदिदेशति देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत्
Remove, for us, the difficult obstacles of mortals; loosen what is firm. Bring low the one who opposes us; the divine mother has given birth, the blessed mother has given birth.
अव त्या बृहतीरिषो विश्वश्चन्द्रा अमित्रहन् । शचीभिः शक्र धूनुहीन्द्र विश्वाभिरूतिभिर्देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत्
Remove those great hostilities, all shining, destroyer of foes. With your powers, O Indra, shake them with all your aids; the divine mother has given birth, the blessed mother has given birth.
अव यत्त्वं शतक्रतविन्द्र विश्वानि धूनुषे । रयिं न सुन्वते सचा सहस्रिणीभिरूतिभिर्देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत्
O Indra, much-praised, when you drive away all adversities, as you grant wealth to the one who offers the Soma, with thousands of aids the divine mother has brought forth what is auspicious, the divine mother has brought forth.
अव स्वेदा इवाभितो विष्वक्पतन्तु दिद्यवः । दूर्वाया इव तन्तवो व्यस्मदेतु दुर्मतिर्देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत्
Let the hostile thoughts depart from us on all sides, as sweat falls away, as the threads of the grass separate; let the evil intention move away from us, the divine mother has brought forth what is auspicious, the divine mother has brought forth.
दीर्घं ह्यङ्कुशं यथा शक्तिं बिभर्षि मन्तुमः । पूर्वेण मघवन्पदाजो वयां यथा यमो देवी जनित्र्यजीजनद्भद्रा जनित्र्यजीजनत्
Just as you, wise one, bear a long goad as a weapon, so, O generous one, may we proceed by the ancient path, as Yama did; the divine mother has brought forth what is auspicious, the divine mother has brought forth.
नकिर्देवा मिनीमसि नकिरा योपयामसि मन्त्रश्रुत्यं चरामसि । पक्षेभिरपिकक्षेभिरत्राभि सं रभामहे
No god do we seek to diminish, nor do we approach anyone with hostility; we live according to the heard mantra. With wings, even with side-wings, here we strive together.
यस्मिन्वृक्षे सुपलाशे देवैः सम्पिबते यमः । अत्रा नो विश्पतिः पिता पुराणाँ अनु वेनति
On that tree with beautiful leaves, Yama drinks together with the gods; there our ancient lord, our father, follows after.
पुराणाँ अनुवेनन्तं चरन्तं पापयामुया । असूयन्नभ्यचाकशं तस्मा अस्पृहयं पुनः
Those ancient ones, following after, looked with envy upon the one wandering with evil; from him I turned away, no longer desiring.
यं कुमार नवं रथमचक्रं मनसाकृणोः । एकेषं विश्वतः प्राञ्चमपश्यन्नधि तिष्ठसि
O youth, the new chariot with wheels you have fashioned in your mind; some saw it facing all directions, and you stand upon it.
यं कुमार प्रावर्तयो रथं विप्रेभ्यस्परि । तं सामानु प्रावर्तत समितो नाव्याहितम्
O youth, you set the chariot in motion for the sages; the song set it in motion together, the assembly was not left behind.
कः कुमारमजनयद्रथं को निरवर्तयत् । कः स्वित्तदद्य नो ब्रूयादनुदेयी यथाभवत्
Who begot the youth? Who fashioned the chariot? Who indeed today will tell us how the sequence came to be?
यथाभवदनुदेयी ततो अग्रमजायत । पुरस्ताद्बुध्न आततः पश्चान्निरयणं कृतम्
As the sequence came to be, from that the first was born; the base was stretched out in front, the axle was made behind.
इदं यमस्य सादनं देवमानं यदुच्यते । इयमस्य धम्यते नाळीरयं गीर्भिः परिष्कृतः
This is the seat of Yama, which is called the divine abode; here his measuring-cup is placed, adorned with words.
केश्यग्निं केशी विषं केशी बिभर्ति रोदसी । केशी विश्वं स्वर्दृशे केशीदं ज्योतिरुच्यते
The long-haired one bears fire, the long-haired one bears poison, the long-haired one bears earth and sky; the long-haired one sees all the world, the long-haired one is called this light.
मुनयो वातरशनाः पिशङ्गा वसते मला । वातस्यानु ध्राजिं यन्ति यद्देवासो अविक्षत
The sages, with wind as their girdle, wear soiled garments of tawny color; they follow the path of the wind, when the gods have beheld them.
उन्मदिता मौनेयेन वाताँ आ तस्थिमा वयम् । शरीरेदस्माकं यूयं मर्तासो अभि पश्यथ
Made ecstatic by the discipline of the sage, we have mounted the winds; in our bodies you mortals look upon us.
अन्तरिक्षेण पतति विश्वा रूपावचाकशत् । मुनिर्देवस्यदेवस्य सौकृत्याय सखा हितः
He flies through the midspace, observing all forms; the sage, friend of the god, is set apart for the god's favor.
वातस्याश्वो वायोः सखाथो देवेषितो मुनिः । उभौ समुद्रावा क्षेति यश्च पूर्व उतापरः
The horse of the wind, the friend of Vāyu, thus inspired by the gods is the sage; he dwells in both oceans, the one before and the one after.
अप्सरसां गन्धर्वाणां मृगाणां चरणे चरन् । केशी केतस्य विद्वान्सखा स्वादुर्मदिन्तमः
Moving among the Apsarases, the Gandharvas, and the wild creatures, the long-haired one, knowing the sign, is a sweet, most intoxicating friend.
वायुरस्मा उपामन्थत्पिनष्टि स्मा कुनन्नमा । केशी विषस्य पात्रेण यद्रुद्रेणापिबत्सह
The wind has churned him for us, he presses him as a woman does her child; the long-haired one, with the cup of poison, drank together with Rudra.
उत देवा अवहितं देवा उन्नयथा पुनः । उतागश्चक्रुषं देवा देवा जीवयथा पुनः
The gods have concealed, and the gods raise up again; the gods have made the day, and the gods restore life once more.
द्वाविमौ वातौ वात आ सिन्धोरा परावतः । दक्षं ते अन्य आ वातु परान्यो वातु यद्रपः
These two winds, O Wind, blow from the distant shore of the river; one brings you skill, the other, whatever is harmful, let it blow away.
आ वात वाहि भेषजं वि वात वाहि यद्रपः । त्वं हि विश्वभेषजो देवानां दूत ईयसे
O Wind, bring the healing; O Wind, drive away what is harmful; for you are the universal healer, the messenger of the gods you go.
आ त्वागमं शंतातिभिरथो अरिष्टतातिभिः । दक्षं ते भद्रमाभार्षं परा यक्ष्मं सुवामि ते
I have come to you with blessings for peace and for safety; may I bring you skill and good fortune, and may I drive away disease from you.
त्रायन्तामिह देवास्त्रायतां मरुतां गणः । त्रायन्तां विश्वा भूतानि यथायमरपा असत्
May the gods protect here, may the host of Maruts protect; may all beings protect, so that this one may be free from harm.
