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.
ध्रुवं ध्रुवेण हविषाभि सोमं मृशामसि । अथो त इन्द्रः केवलीर्विशो बलिहृतस्करत्
With firm oblation we touch Soma; and then, O Indra, you make all the tribes subject, taking their tribute.
अभीवर्तेन हविषा येनेन्द्रो अभिवावृते । तेनास्मान्ब्रह्मणस्पतेऽभि राष्ट्राय वर्तय
With the victorious oblation by which Indra was victorious, with that, O Brahmanaspati, turn towards us for the kingdom.
अभिवृत्य सपत्नानभि या नो अरातयः । अभि पृतन्यन्तं तिष्ठाभि यो न इरस्यति
Having overcome our rivals and all our enemies, stand firm against the one who opposes us, against whoever attacks us.
अभि त्वा देवः सविताभि सोमो अवीवृतत् । अभि त्वा विश्वा भूतान्यभीवर्तो यथाससि
May the god Savitar, may Soma, encompass you; may all beings surround you, as you desire.
येनेन्द्रो हविषा कृत्व्यभवद्द्युम्न्युत्तमः । इदं तदक्रि देवा असपत्नः किलाभुवम्
By whose oblation Indra became most glorious and exalted; by this the gods made me without rival, indeed I have become so.
असपत्नः सपत्नहाभिराष्ट्रो विषासहिः । यथाहमेषां भूतानां विराजानि जनस्य च
Without rival, destroyer of rivals, with a strong realm, conquering foes; so may I be eminent among these beings and among the people.
प्र वो ग्रावाणः सविता देवः सुवतु धर्मणा । धूर्षु युज्यध्वं सुनुत
Let the god Savitar bless you, O pressing stones, with righteousness; be yoked to the yokes, press forth.
ग्रावाणो अप दुच्छुनामप सेधत दुर्मतिम् । उस्राः कर्तन भेषजम्
O pressing stones, drive away evil speech, drive away evil thought; bring forth the healing light.
ग्रावाण उपरेष्वा महीयन्ते सजोषसः । वृष्णे दधतो वृष्ण्यम्
The pressing stones, united, are exalted on the upper altars; they place strength for the strong one.
ग्रावाणः सविता नु वो देवः सुवतु धर्मणा । यजमानाय सुन्वते
May the god Savitar now bless you, O pressing stones, with righteousness, for the sacrificer who presses the Soma.
प्र सूनव ऋभूणां बृहन्नवन्त वृजना । क्षामा ये विश्वधायसोऽश्नन्धेनुं न मातरम्
Let the sons of the Ṛbhus, great and victorious, come forth; who, all-providing, have enjoyed the earth like a cow her mother.
प्र देवं देव्या धिया भरता जातवेदसम् । हव्या नो वक्षदानुषक्
With the devotion of the goddess, bring the god Jātavedas; may he carry our offerings in order.
अयमु ष्य प्र देवयुर्होता यज्ञाय नीयते । रथो न योरभीवृतो घृणीवाञ्चेतति त्मना
This priest, devoted to the gods, is led forth for the sacrifice; like a chariot, well-yoked, shining, he moves by his own will.
अयमग्निरुरुष्यत्यमृतादिव जन्मनः । सहसश्चित्सहीयान्देवो जीवातवे कृतः
This Agni grows wide, as if from immortal birth; the god, made for life, is stronger even than strength.
पतंगमक्तमसुरस्य मायया हृदा पश्यन्ति मनसा विपश्चितः । समुद्रे अन्तः कवयो वि चक्षते मरीचीनां पदमिच्छन्ति वेधसः
The wise perceive the winged one, covered by the Asura's magic, with their heart and mind; within the ocean, the sages behold him, seeking the path of the rays, the track of the Creator.
पतंगो वाचं मनसा बिभर्ति तां गन्धर्वोऽवदद्गर्भे अन्तः । तां द्योतमानां स्वर्यं मनीषामृतस्य पदे कवयो नि पान्ति
The winged one bears speech in his mind; the Gandharva declared it within the womb; the shining, heavenly wisdom, the sages guard at the seat of immortality.
अपश्यं गोपामनिपद्यमानमा च परा च पथिभिश्चरन्तम् । स सध्रीचीः स विषूचीर्वसान आ वरीवर्ति भुवनेष्वन्तः
I saw the herdsman, not falling, moving on both paths, wandering; he, clothed alike and differently, turns within the worlds.
त्यमू षु वाजिनं देवजूतं सहावानं तरुतारं रथानाम् । अरिष्टनेमिं पृतनाजमाशुं स्वस्तये तार्क्ष्यमिहा हुवेम
Let us call here for well-being that Tārkṣya, the strong, god-sent, victorious, swiftest of chariots, with unbroken wheel-rims, conqueror in battle.
इन्द्रस्येव रातिमाजोहुवानाः स्वस्तये नावमिवा रुहेम । उर्वी न पृथ्वी बहुले गभीरे मा वामेतौ मा परेतौ रिषाम
Desiring well-being, let us call for Indra's favor; let us cross over like a ship; may the broad, deep earth not harm us, neither here nor beyond.
सद्यश्चिद्यः शवसा पञ्च कृष्टीः सूर्य इव ज्योतिषापस्ततान । सहस्रसाः शतसा अस्य रंहिर्न स्मा वरन्ते युवतिं न शर्याम्
He who at once with his might spread out the five peoples with light like the sun; his abundance is in thousands and hundreds, never failing, like a youthful maiden at the contest.
