अदो यद्दारु प्लवते सिन्धोः पारे अपूरुषम् । तदा रभस्व दुर्हणो तेन गच्छ परस्तरम्
There floats a log, manless, on the far side of the river; seize that, O destroyer, and with it go beyond.
यद्ध प्राचीरजगन्तोरो मण्डूरधाणिकीः । हता इन्द्रस्य शत्रवः सर्वे बुद्बुदयाशवः
When the eastern ones moved, the Maṇḍūras and Dhāṇikas, all the enemies of Indra were slain, all the bubbling ones, with their might.
परीमे गामनेषत पर्यग्निमहृषत । देवेष्वक्रत श्रवः क इमाँ आ दधर्षति
They have sought the cow all around, they have circled the fire; they have won fame among the gods—who can overcome these?
अग्निं हिन्वन्तु नो धियः सप्तिमाशुमिवाजिषु । तेन जेष्म धनंधनम्
May our thoughts impel Agni, like a swift chariot in contests; with him, may we win wealth upon wealth.
यया गा आकरामहे सेनयाग्ने तवोत्या । तां नो हिन्व मघत्तये
With that force, O Agni, by which we drive forth the cows, with your aid in battle, inspire us for generosity.
आग्ने स्थूरं रयिं भर पृथुं गोमन्तमश्विनम् । अङ्धि खं वर्तया पणिम्
Agni, bring us abundant, broad, and cattle-rich wealth; grant us a share, turn away the avaricious.
अग्ने नक्षत्रमजरमा सूर्यं रोहयो दिवि । दधज्ज्योतिर्जनेभ्यः
Agni, raise the unfading star, the sun, in the sky; establish light for the people.
अग्ने केतुर्विशामसि प्रेष्ठः श्रेष्ठ उपस्थसत् । बोधा स्तोत्रे वयो दधत्
Agni, you are the beacon of the people, most beloved, best to approach; awaken, bearing strength for the hymn.
इमा नु कं भुवना सीषधामेन्द्रश्च विश्वे च देवाः
Now, which of these worlds shall we attain—Indra and all the gods?
यज्ञं च नस्तन्वं च प्रजां चादित्यैरिन्द्रः सह चीकॢपाति
May Indra together with the Ādityas prepare for us the sacrifice, our bodies, and our offspring.
आदित्यैरिन्द्रः सगणो मरुद्भिरस्माकं भूत्वविता तनूनाम्
May Indra with the Ādityas and the Maruts be the protector of our persons.
हत्वाय देवा असुरान्यदायन्देवा देवत्वमभिरक्षमाणाः
The gods, having slain the Asuras, gave (us) the divine nature, guarding their divinity.
प्रत्यञ्चमर्कमनयञ्छचीभिरादित्स्वधामिषिरां पर्यपश्यन्
With their powers, they led the hymn in a new direction; seeking to obtain, they observed the nourishing food.
सूर्यो नो दिवस्पातु वातो अन्तरिक्षात् । अग्निर्नः पार्थिवेभ्यः
May the sun protect us from the sky, the wind from the midspace; may Agni protect us from earthly things.
जोषा सवितर्यस्य ते हरः शतं सवाँ अर्हति । पाहि नो दिद्युतः पतन्त्याः
With the favor of Savitar, your brilliance deserves a hundred praises; protect us from the falling lightning.
चक्षुर्नो देवः सविता चक्षुर्न उत पर्वतः । चक्षुर्धाता दधातु नः
May the god Savitar be our sight, may the mountain be our sight too; may the creator grant us vision.
चक्षुर्नो धेहि चक्षुषे चक्षुर्विख्यै तनूभ्यः । सं चेदं वि च पश्येम
Grant us sight for seeing, sight for renown among people; may we see this world together and apart.
सुसंदृशं त्वा वयं प्रति पश्येम सूर्य । वि पश्येम नृचक्षसः
O Sun, may we behold you with clear vision; may we, with human sight, see widely.
उदसौ सूर्यो अगादुदयं मामको भगः । अहं तद्विद्वला पतिमभ्यसाक्षि विषासहिः
The sun has risen, my fortune has arisen; I, wise, have approached my lord, victorious over rivals.
अहं केतुरहं मूर्धाहमुग्रा विवाचनी । ममेदनु क्रतुं पतिः सेहानाया उपाचरेत्
I am the sign, I am the crown, I am the mighty, the one who speaks; my husband follows my will, attending to the steadfast woman.
मम पुत्राः शत्रुहणोऽथो मे दुहिता विराट् । उताहमस्मि संजया पत्यौ मे श्लोक उत्तमः
My sons are slayers of foes, and my daughter is renowned; I am victorious, and my praise is supreme with my husband.
येनेन्द्रो हविषा कृत्व्यभवद्द्युम्न्युत्तमः । इदं तदक्रि देवा असपत्ना किलाभुवम्
By that offering with which Indra became most glorious and powerful, O gods, may this be done, so that I may be without rivals.
असपत्ना सपत्नघ्नी जयन्त्यभिभूवरी । आवृक्षमन्यासां वर्चो राधो अस्थेयसामिव
Without rivals, victorious over rivals, triumphant and overpowering, may I cover the brilliance and wealth of others, as if of those who are not steadfast.
समजैषमिमा अहं सपत्नीरभिभूवरी । यथाहमस्य वीरस्य विराजानि जनस्य च
I have overcome these rival women, triumphant and overpowering, so that I may shine forth among this man’s people and in his household.
तीव्रस्याभिवयसो अस्य पाहि सर्वरथा वि हरी इह मुञ्च । इन्द्र मा त्वा यजमानासो अन्ये नि रीरमन्तुभ्यमिमे सुतासः
Protect him from this intense attack, release him here from all sides, O Indra; let not other worshippers detain you, let these pressed offerings be for you.
तुभ्यं सुतास्तुभ्यमु सोत्वासस्त्वां गिरः श्वात्र्या आ ह्वयन्ति । इन्द्रेदमद्य सवनं जुषाणो विश्वस्य विद्वाँ इह पाहि सोमम्
For you are the pressed offerings, for you the libations; the hymns call you with their voice; Indra, delighting in this pressing, 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 you, desiring the gods—Indra does not take away his cattle, but grants him praise and beauty.
अनुस्पष्टो भवत्येषो अस्य यो अस्मै रेवान्न सुनोति सोमम् । निररत्नौ मघवा तं दधाति ब्रह्मद्विषो हन्त्यनानुदिष्टः
This one becomes renowned who presses Soma for him with abundance; Maghavan deprives of wealth the one who does not offer, and destroys the haters of prayer.
अश्वायन्तो गव्यन्तो वाजयन्तो हवामहे त्वोपगन्तवा उ । आभूषन्तस्ते सुमतौ नवायां वयमिन्द्र त्वा शुनं हुवेम
Desiring horses, desiring cattle, desiring strength, we call upon you; come to us, O Indra. In your new favor may we be adorned; O Indra, we call upon you for blessing.
मुञ्चामि त्वा हविषा जीवनाय कमज्ञातयक्ष्मादुत राजयक्ष्मात् । ग्राहिर्जग्राह यदि वैतदेनं तस्या इन्द्राग्नी प्र मुमुक्तमेनम्
I release you with an offering for life, from known and royal disease; if the seizure has seized him, by this, O Indra and Agni, release him from it.
