यदब्रवं प्रथमं वां वृणानोऽयं सोमो असुरैर्नो विहव्यः । तां सत्यां श्रद्धामभ्या हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
When I first chose you, I said: 'This Soma is to be invoked by us with the lords.' Come, trusting in that truth, and drink the pressed Soma.
यदिन्द्राग्नी मदथः स्वे दुरोणे यद्ब्रह्मणि राजनि वा यजत्रा । अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
Whatever joy you, Indra and Agni, have found in your own home, or in the king's sacred rite, come from there, you mighty ones, and drink the pressed Soma.
यदिन्द्राग्नी यदुषु तुर्वशेषु यद्द्रुह्युष्वनुषु पूरुषु स्थः । अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
Wherever you, Indra and Agni, are among the Yadus, Turvashas, Druhyus, Anus, or Purus, come from there, you mighty ones, and drink the pressed Soma.
यदिन्द्राग्नी अवमस्यां पृथिव्यां मध्यमस्यां परमस्यामुत स्थः । अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
Wherever you, Indra and Agni, are on the lowest, middle, or highest earth, come from there, you mighty ones, and drink the pressed Soma.
यदिन्द्राग्नी परमस्यां पृथिव्यां मध्यमस्यामवमस्यामुत स्थः । अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
Wherever you, Indra and Agni, are on the highest, middle, or lowest earth, come from there, you mighty ones, and drink the pressed Soma.
यदिन्द्राग्नी दिवि ष्ठो यत्पृथिव्यां यत्पर्वतेष्वोषधीष्वप्सु । अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
Wherever you, Indra and Agni, are in the sky, on earth, among mountains, plants, or waters, come from there, you mighty ones, and drink the pressed Soma.
यदिन्द्राग्नी उदिता सूर्यस्य मध्ये दिवः स्वधया मादयेथे । अतः परि वृषणावा हि यातमथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य
Wherever you, Indra and Agni, rejoice in the rising of the sun, in the midst of heaven, by your own power, come from there, you mighty ones, and drink the pressed Soma.
एवेन्द्राग्नी पपिवांसा सुतस्य विश्वास्मभ्यं सं जयतं धनानि । तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः
Thus, Indra and Agni, having drunk the pressed Soma, may you win all treasures for us. Let Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the river, the earth, and the sky not harm us.
वि ह्यख्यं मनसा वस्य इच्छन्निन्द्राग्नी ज्ञास उत वा सजातान् । नान्या युवत्प्रमतिरस्ति मह्यं स वां धियं वाजयन्तीमतक्षम्
For I seek to know, with my mind desiring wealth, O Indra and Agni, both what is manifest and what is hidden; there is no other delight for me as dear as you. So I have shaped for you a thought that brings strength.
अश्रवं हि भूरिदावत्तरा वां विजामातुरुत वा घा स्यालात् । अथा सोमस्य प्रयती युवभ्यामिन्द्राग्नी स्तोमं जनयामि नव्यम्
For I have heard of your abundant giving, whether from the offspring of the wise or perhaps from others; therefore, with Soma pressed, I now generate a new hymn of praise for you, Indra and Agni.
मा च्छेद्म रश्मीँरिति नाधमानाः पितॄणां शक्तीरनुयच्छमानाः । इन्द्राग्निभ्यां कं वृषणो मदन्ति ता ह्यद्री धिषणाया उपस्थे
Let us not cut off the reins, as if falling short, while following the powers of our fathers; the mighty ones, Indra and Agni, delight in whom? For those stones are indeed at the lap of the altar.
युवाभ्यां देवी धिषणा मदायेन्द्राग्नी सोममुशती सुनोति । तावश्विना भद्रहस्ता सुपाणी आ धावतं मधुना पृङ्क्तमप्सु
By you two, O Indra and Agni, the divine altar, longing for intoxication, presses the Soma; you two, O Ashvins, with auspicious hands and fair palms, come running and mix it with sweetness in the waters.
युवामिन्द्राग्नी वसुनो विभागे तवस्तमा शुश्रव वृत्रहत्ये । तावासद्या बर्हिषि यज्ञे अस्मिन्प्र चर्षणी मादयेथां सुतस्य
You two, Indra and Agni, have been heard of as the most powerful in the division of wealth and in the slaying of Vritra; so, seated on the sacred grass at this sacrifice, delight yourselves in the pressed Soma among the people.
प्र चर्षणिभ्यः पृतनाहवेषु प्र पृथिव्या रिरिचाथे दिवश्च । प्र सिन्धुभ्यः प्र गिरिभ्यो महित्वा प्रेन्द्राग्नी विश्वा भुवनात्यन्या
You shine forth for the peoples in battles, you spread over the earth and the sky; you excel among rivers and mountains, O Indra and Agni, surpassing all the worlds in greatness.
आ भरतं शिक्षतं वज्रबाहू अस्माँ इन्द्राग्नी अवतं शचीभिः । इमे नु ते रश्मयः सूर्यस्य येभिः सपित्वं पितरो न आसन्
Come, teach and guide us, O wielders of the thunderbolt; protect us, Indra and Agni, with your powers. These are your rays, O Sun, by which our fathers attained kinship with you.
पुरंदरा शिक्षतं वज्रहस्तास्माँ इन्द्राग्नी अवतं भरेषु । तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः
O destroyers of cities, teach us, O thunderbolt-handed ones; protect us, Indra and Agni, in battles. May Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the river, the earth, and the sky not harm us.
ततं मे अपस्तदु तायते पुनः स्वादिष्ठा धीतिरुचथाय शस्यते । अयं समुद्र इह विश्वदेव्यः स्वाहाकृतस्य समु तृप्णुत ऋभवः
My prayer has been stretched out, and it protects me again; the sweetest thought is praised for the hymn. This is the ocean, here for all the gods; O Ribhus, be satisfied with the offering made with 'svaha.'
आभोगयं प्र यदिच्छन्त ऐतनापाकाः प्राञ्चो मम के चिदापयः । सौधन्वनासश्चरितस्य भूमनागच्छत सवितुर्दाशुषो गृहम्
When they wish to enjoy the abundance, some of my waters flow away, turned aside; O Ribhus of the Sudhanvanas, come with greatness to the house of the worshipper of Savitar.
तत्सविता वोऽमृतत्वमासुवदगोह्यं यच्छ्रवयन्त ऐतन । त्यं चिच्चमसमसुरस्य भक्षणमेकं सन्तमकृणुता चतुर्वयम्
May Savitar grant you immortality, the hidden thing that you have made known; you even made one drinking cup of the god into four, though it was only one.
विष्ट्वी शमी तरणित्वेन वाघतो मर्तासः सन्तो अमृतत्वमानशुः । सौधन्वना ऋभवः सूरचक्षसः संवत्सरे समपृच्यन्त धीतिभिः
Though mortal, they attained immortality by their skill and swiftness; the Ribhus of the Sudhanvanas, with the vision of the sun, were questioned together in a year by their thoughts.
क्षेत्रमिव वि ममुस्तेजनेनँ एकं पात्रमृभवो जेहमानम् । उपस्तुता उपमं नाधमाना अमर्त्येषु श्रव इच्छमानाः
Like a field, they measured out with their skill; the Ribhus made one vessel into four. Honored, not despised, seeking fame among the immortals.
आ मनीषामन्तरिक्षस्य नृभ्यः स्रुचेव घृतं जुहवाम विद्मना । तरणित्वा ये पितुरस्य सश्चिर ऋभवो वाजमरुहन्दिवो रजः
Let us offer our thought, like clarified butter, among men in the midspace, with knowledge; you who, with the swiftness of your father, O Ribhus, ascended the prize of strength through the realm of the sky.
ऋभुर्न इन्द्रः शवसा नवीयानृभुर्वाजेभिर्वसुभिर्वसुर्ददिः । युष्माकं देवा अवसाहनि प्रियेऽभि तिष्ठेम पृत्सुतीरसुन्वताम्
Ribhu is not Indra, but is newer in might; Ribhu, with prizes and riches, is a giver of wealth. With your help, O gods, may we stand firm in the beloved day of contest, among those who press Soma.
निश्चर्मण ऋभवो गामपिंशत सं वत्सेनासृजता मातरं पुनः । सौधन्वनासः स्वपस्यया नरो जिव्री युवाना पितराकृणोतन
The Ribhus fashioned a cow from the hide, and again created the mother with the calf; the Sudhanvanas, with their skill, O men, made the parents young again.
वाजेभिर्नो वाजसातावविड्ढ्यृभुमाँ इन्द्र चित्रमा दर्षि राधः । तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः
With prizes, grant us the winning of wealth, O Ribhu; even Indra has seen your wondrous bounty. May Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the river, the earth, and the sky not harm us.
तक्षन्रथं सुवृतं विद्मनापसस्तक्षन्हरी इन्द्रवाहा वृषण्वसू । तक्षन्पितृभ्यामृभवो युवद्वयस्तक्षन्वत्साय मातरं सचाभुवम्
They fashioned a well-made chariot with skill, they fashioned the steeds, bearers of Indra, rich in strength; the Ribhus fashioned for their fathers a youthful vigor, and for the calf, they fashioned the mother together with the earth.
आ नो यज्ञाय तक्षत ऋभुमद्वयः क्रत्वे दक्षाय सुप्रजावतीमिषम् । यथा क्षयाम सर्ववीरया विशा तन्नः शर्धाय धासथा स्विन्द्रियम्
Bring to us, for the sacrifice, the two Ribhus, with wisdom, skill, and abundant offspring; grant us food for strength and discernment, so that we may dwell among all-powerful peoples. May you bestow upon us vigor for our band, endowed with your own might.
आ तक्षत सातिमस्मभ्यमृभवः सातिं रथाय सातिमर्वते नरः । सातिं नो जैत्रीं सं महेत विश्वहा जामिमजामिं पृतनासु सक्षणिम्
Fashion for us, O Ribhus, prosperity—prosperity for our chariot, prosperity for our journey, O men. May you grant us victorious prosperity, conquering everywhere, kin after kin, in battles, with skill.
ऋभुक्षणमिन्द्रमा हुव ऊतय ऋभून्वाजान्मरुतः सोमपीतये । उभा मित्रावरुणा नूनमश्विना ते नो हिन्वन्तु सातये धिये जिषे
I invoke Indra, the lord of the Ribhus, for help; the Ribhus, the Maruts, for the enjoyment of Soma. May both Mitra and Varuna, and now the Ashvins, inspire us for prosperity and victorious thought.
ऋभुर्भराय सं शिशातु सातिं समर्यजिद्वाजो अस्माँ अविष्टु । तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः
Let the Ribhus unite prosperity for the bearer; let the victorious banner bring it to us. May Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the river, the earth, and the sky not diminish it for us.
