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.
उत्तिष्ठताव पश्यतेन्द्रस्य भागमृत्वियम् । यदि श्रातो जुहोतन यद्यश्रातो ममत्तन
Arise, look upon the portion of Indra, O priests; whether you are prepared, offer, or if unprepared, desire it.
श्रातं हविरो ष्विन्द्र प्र याहि जगाम सूरो अध्वनो विमध्यम् । परि त्वासते निधिभिः सखायः कुलपा न व्राजपतिं चरन्तम्
Hear the offering, O Indra, come forth; the sun has traversed the path, reaching the midst. Around you, friends gather with treasures, as householders around the lord of the clan moving among them.
श्रातं मन्य ऊधनि श्रातमग्नौ सुश्रातं मन्ये तदृतं नवीयः । माध्यंदिनस्य सवनस्य दध्नः पिबेन्द्र वज्रिन्पुरुकृज्जुषाणः
I deem the offering pure in the vessel, pure in the fire, and most pure in the newest rite of truth. Drink, O Indra, wielder of the bolt, delighting in the midday pressing of the curdled soma.
प्र ससाहिषे पुरुहूत शत्रूञ्ज्येष्ठस्ते शुष्म इह रातिरस्तु । इन्द्रा भर दक्षिणेना वसूनि पतिः सिन्धूनामसि रेवतीनाम्
O much-invoked, you have overcome enemies; may your greatest strength bring us gifts here. Indra, bring us riches with your right hand; you are the lord of the rivers, the possessor of wealth.
मृगो न भीमः कुचरो गिरिष्ठाः परावत आ जगन्था परस्याः । सृकं संशाय पविमिन्द्र तिग्मं वि शत्रून्ताळ्हि वि मृधो नुदस्व
Like a fearsome beast roaming the mountains, you have come from afar, from distant lands. Grasp the sharp-edged thunderbolt, O Indra, and shatter the enemies, drive away the hostilities.
इन्द्र क्षत्रमभि वाममोजोऽजायथा वृषभ चर्षणीनाम् । अपानुदो जनममित्रयन्तमुरुं देवेभ्यो अकृणोरु लोकम्
Indra, you were born with supreme power and might, O bull among peoples. You have driven away the unfriendly race, you have made a broad space for the gods.
प्रथश्च यस्य सप्रथश्च नामानुष्टुभस्य हविषो हविर्यत् । धातुर्द्युतानात्सवितुश्च विष्णो रथंतरमा जभारा वसिष्ठः
He whose name is both Pratha and Sapratha, of the Anuṣṭubh meter, whose offering is the oblation—Vasiṣṭha bore away the Rathantara from the brilliance of Dhātar, Savitṛ, and Viṣṇu.
अविन्दन्ते अतिहितं यदासीद्यज्ञस्य धाम परमं गुहा यत् । धातुर्द्युतानात्सवितुश्च विष्णोर्भरद्वाजो बृहदा चक्रे अग्नेः
They discovered what was set beyond, the highest abode of the sacrifice, hidden in secrecy. Bharadvāja fashioned the Bṛhat from the brilliance of Dhātar, Savitṛ, and Viṣṇu, for Agni.
तेऽविन्दन्मनसा दीध्याना यजु ष्कन्नं प्रथमं देवयानम् । धातुर्द्युतानात्सवितुश्च विष्णोरा सूर्यादभरन्घर्ममेते
They found, with shining mind, the first divine path, woven with yajus formulas. From the brilliance of Dhātar, Savitṛ, and Viṣṇu, they brought forth the hot libation from the sun.
बृहस्पतिर्नयतु दुर्गहा तिरः पुनर्नेषदघशंसाय मन्म । क्षिपदशस्तिमप दुर्मतिं हन्नथा करद्यजमानाय शं योः
May Bṛhaspati lead us across the difficult places, may he bring us back again, far from the curse of evil speech. May he strike down hostility, remove ill intent, and grant well-being to the worshiper.
