योगक्षेमं व आदायाहं भूयासमुत्तम आ वो मूर्धानमक्रमीम् । अधस्पदान्म उद्वदत मण्डूका इवोदकान्मण्डूका उदकादिव
Having taken your welfare and security, may I become supreme; I have stepped upon your heads—rise up from beneath my feet, as frogs rise from the water.
तुभ्येदमिन्द्र परि षिच्यते मधु त्वं सुतस्य कलशस्य राजसि । त्वं रयिं पुरुवीरामु नस्कृधि त्वं तपः परितप्याजयः स्वः
For you, Indra, this sweet drink is poured; you are the lord of the pressed soma vessel. Grant us wealth with many heroes; you burn away the foe and win the heavens.
स्वर्जितं महि मन्दानमन्धसो हवामहे परि शक्रं सुताँ उप । इमं नो यज्ञमिह बोध्या गहि स्पृधो जयन्तं मघवानमीमहे
We call upon you, O Shining One, for the splendid, exhilarating soma pressed for you; come to this sacrifice, be aware and approach, Maghavan, whom we invoke as the conqueror of foes.
सोमस्य राज्ञो वरुणस्य धर्मणि बृहस्पतेरनुमत्या उ शर्मणि । तवाहमद्य मघवन्नुपस्तुतौ धातर्विधातः कलशाँ अभक्षयम्
In the law of king Soma, of Varuna, in the protection of Brihaspati and Anumati, today, O Maghavan, in your praise I have consumed the soma vessels, O Creator and Ordainer.
प्रसूतो भक्षमकरं चरावपि स्तोमं चेमं प्रथमः सूरिरुन्मृजे । सुते सातेन यद्यागमं वां प्रति विश्वामित्रजमदग्नी दमे
Having been born, I made the offering and moved about; the first sage has cleansed this hymn. With the pressed soma, whatever I have attained for you both—Vishvamitra and Jamadagni—in the house.
वातस्य नु महिमानं रथस्य रुजन्नेति स्तनयन्नस्य घोषः । दिविस्पृग्यात्यरुणानि कृण्वन्नुतो एति पृथिव्या रेणुमस्यन्
Now, the greatness of the wind's chariot: it comes breaking, roaring, its sound thundering; it touches the sky, makes the dawns red, and moves, raising dust from the earth.
सं प्रेरते अनु वातस्य विष्ठा ऐनं गच्छन्ति समनं न योषाः । ताभिः सयुक्सरथं देव ईयतेऽस्य विश्वस्य भुवनस्य राजा
He is set in motion, following the path of the wind; women, like companions, go with him together. With them yoked, the god rides his chariot—he is the king of all the worlds.
अन्तरिक्षे पथिभिरीयमानो न नि विशते कतमच्चनाहः । अपां सखा प्रथमजा ऋतावा क्व स्विज्जातः कुत आ बभूव
Driven along the paths in the midspace, he never settles in any one day; the friend of waters, firstborn of order—where indeed was he born, from where did he arise?
आत्मा देवानां भुवनस्य गर्भो यथावशं चरति देव एषः । घोषा इदस्य शृण्विरे न रूपं तस्मै वाताय हविषा विधेम
He is the soul of the gods, the embryo of the world; this god moves as he wills. His sounds are heard, but not his form; to that Wind we offer our oblation.
मयोभूर्वातो अभि वातूस्रा ऊर्जस्वतीरोषधीरा रिशन्ताम् । पीवस्वतीर्जीवधन्याः पिबन्त्ववसाय पद्वते रुद्र मृळ
May the gracious wind blow upon us, may the nourishing plants grow; may the rich, life-giving, milky ones drink for our welfare—O Rudra, be gentle.
याः सरूपा विरूपा एकरूपा यासामग्निरिष्ट्या नामानि वेद । या अङ्गिरसस्तपसेह चक्रुस्ताभ्यः पर्जन्य महि शर्म यच्छ
Those that are of one form, of many forms, or of a single form, whose names Agni knows through sacrifice, those whom the Angirases made for ascetic heat—to them, O Parjanya, grant great protection.
या देवेषु तन्वमैरयन्त यासां सोमो विश्वा रूपाणि वेद । ता अस्मभ्यं पयसा पिन्वमानाः प्रजावतीरिन्द्र गोष्ठे रिरीहि
Those who have produced their bodies among the gods, whose every form Soma knows—to those, swelling with milk, rich in offspring, O Indra, grant increase in the cattle-pen.
प्रजापतिर्मह्यमेता रराणो विश्वैर्देवैः पितृभिः संविदानः । शिवाः सतीरुप नो गोष्ठमाकस्तासां वयं प्रजया सं सदेम
The Lord of Progeny has given these to me, in agreement with all the gods and ancestors; being auspicious, may they come to our cattle-pen—may we dwell together with offspring among them.
विभ्राड्बृहत्पिबतु सोम्यं मध्वायुर्दधद्यज्ञपतावविह्रुतम् । वातजूतो यो अभिरक्षति त्मना प्रजाः पुपोष पुरुधा वि राजति
Let the shining, mighty one drink the honeyed soma, granting long life, delighting the lord of sacrifice; driven by the wind, he protects by his own nature, nourishes the people, and shines in many ways.
विभ्राड्बृहत्सुभृतं वाजसातमं धर्मन्दिवो धरुणे सत्यमर्पितम् । अमित्रहा वृत्रहा दस्युहन्तमं ज्योतिर्जज्ञे असुरहा सपत्नहा
The shining, mighty one, well-nourished, best giver of strength, established in the law, set firm in the seat of heaven; slayer of enemies, slayer of Vritra, destroyer of demons, light is born—slayer of Asuras and rivals.
इदं श्रेष्ठं ज्योतिषां ज्योतिरुत्तमं विश्वजिद्धनजिदुच्यते बृहत् । विश्वभ्राड्भ्राजो महि सूर्यो दृश उरु पप्रथे सह ओजो अच्युतम्
This is the highest of lights, the supreme radiance, called the all-conquering, wealth-conquering, great one. The Sun, mighty in brilliance, spreads wide before the eyes, unfailing in strength and power.
विभ्राजञ्ज्योतिषा स्वरगच्छो रोचनं दिवः । येनेमा विश्वा भुवनान्याभृता विश्वकर्मणा विश्वदेव्यावता
Shining forth with light, go to the realm of heaven, the luminous expanse of the sky, by which all these worlds are upheld, by the all-working one, with the support of all the gods.
त्वं त्यमिटतो रथमिन्द्र प्रावः सुतावतः । अशृणोः सोमिनो हवम्
You, Indra, have guided that chariot from the assembly, filled with Soma; you have heard the call of the Soma-presser.
त्वं मखस्य दोधतः शिरोऽव त्वचो भरः । अगच्छः सोमिनो गृहम्
You have taken the head of the sacrifice, the skin as well; you have entered the house of the Soma-presser.
त्वं त्यमिन्द्र मर्त्यमास्त्रबुध्नाय वेन्यम् । मुहुः श्रथ्ना मनस्यवे
You, Indra, have often released that mortal, the Vena, from the bonds of the foe, for the sake of the one who thinks of you.
त्वं त्यमिन्द्र सूर्यं पश्चा सन्तं पुरस्कृधि । देवानां चित्तिरो वशम्
You, Indra, bring the Sun, though it is behind, to the front; you alone direct the will of the gods.
आ याहि वनसा सह गावः सचन्त वर्तनिं यदूधभिः
Come here with the forest, with strength; let the cows join the path with their calves.
आ याहि वस्व्या धिया मंहिष्ठो जारयन्मखः सुदानुभिः
Come here with noble thought, O most bountiful one, the generous sacrificer, with those who give abundantly.
पितुभृतो न तन्तुमित्सुदानवः प्रति दध्मो यजामसि
Like those who support their fathers, O generous ones, we stretch the thread; we sacrifice in worship.
उषा अप स्वसुस्तमः सं वर्तयति वर्तनिं सुजातता
Dawn, the best of sisters, turns the path together, with her noble birth.
आ त्वाहार्षमन्तरेधि ध्रुवस्तिष्ठाविचाचलिः । विशस्त्वा सर्वा वाञ्छन्तु मा त्वद्राष्ट्रमधि भ्रशत्
Come here, enter within; stand firm, unmoving. May all the people desire you; may your rule not fall away.
इहैवैधि माप च्योष्ठाः पर्वत इवाविचाचलिः । इन्द्र इवेह ध्रुवस्तिष्ठेह राष्ट्रमु धारय
Stay here, do not depart; stand firm like a mountain, unmoving. Like Indra, stand firm here; uphold the kingdom here.
इममिन्द्रो अदीधरद्ध्रुवं ध्रुवेण हविषा । तस्मै सोमो अधि ब्रवत्तस्मा उ ब्रह्मणस्पतिः
Indra has established this, the firm one, with firm oblation; for him Soma declared, for him also Brahmanaspati.
ध्रुवा द्यौर्ध्रुवा पृथिवी ध्रुवासः पर्वता इमे । ध्रुवं विश्वमिदं जगद्ध्रुवो राजा विशामयम्
Firm is the sky, firm the earth, firm are these mountains; firm is this whole world, firm is the king over the people.
ध्रुवं ते राजा वरुणो ध्रुवं देवो बृहस्पतिः । ध्रुवं त इन्द्रश्चाग्निश्च राष्ट्रं धारयतां ध्रुवम्
Firm for you is King Varuna, firm is the god Brihaspati; may Indra and Agni together uphold the kingdom firmly.
