वनेम तद्धोत्रया चितन्त्या वनेम रयिं रयिवः सुवीर्यं रण्वं सन्तं सुवीर्यम् । दुर्मन्मानं सुमन्तुभिरेमिषा पृचीमहि । आ सत्याभिरिन्द्रं द्युम्नहूतिभिर्यजत्रं द्युम्नहूतिभिः
May we win that by the priesthood, by the inspired, may we win wealth, abundant riches, splendid heroic power. May we turn the ill-minded to good counsel, may we seek the favor. With true, glorious invocations, may we approach Indra, worthy of worship, with glorious invocations.
प्रप्रा वो अस्मे स्वयशोभिरूती परिवर्ग इन्द्रो दुर्मतीनां दरीमन्दुर्मतीनाम् । स्वयं सा रिषयध्यै या न उपेषे अत्रैः । हतेमसन्न वक्षति क्षिप्ता जूर्णिर्न वक्षति
May Indra, with his own glorious aids, bring us distinction; may he scatter the assemblies of the evil-minded, scatter the evil-minded. May he himself destroy those who approach with harm. Let the hostile one be struck down, let the cast-down one not rise, like a broken reed, let him not rise.
त्वं न इन्द्र राया परीणसा याहि पथाँ अनेहसा पुरो याह्यरक्षसा । सचस्व नः पराक आ सचस्वास्तमीक आ । पाहि नो दूरादारादभिष्टिभिः सदा पाह्यभिष्टिभिः
You, O Indra, with unfailing wealth, go before us on the path, unhindered, drive away the demons. Accompany us on the distant way, accompany us on the near way. Protect us from afar and from near with your aids, always protect us with your aids.
त्वं न इन्द्र राया तरूषसोग्रं चित्त्वा महिमा सक्षदवसे महे मित्रं नावसे । ओजिष्ठ त्रातरविता रथं कं चिदमर्त्य । अन्यमस्मद्रिरिषेः कं चिदद्रिवो रिरिक्षन्तं चिदद्रिवः
You, O Indra, with wealth, subdue the mighty, you alone, with your greatness, are seen as a great friend for help, as a great friend. Most powerful protector, savior, you guide the chariot, O immortal one. May another, not of us, be harmed, O crusher, may another who wishes us harm be harmed, O crusher.
पाहि न इन्द्र सुष्टुत स्रिधोऽवयाता सदमिद्दुर्मतीनां देवः सन्दुर्मतीनाम् । हन्ता पापस्य रक्षसस्त्राता विप्रस्य मावतः । अधा हि त्वा जनिता जीजनद्वसो रक्षोहणं त्वा जीजनद्वसो
Protect us, O Indra, well-praised, from the envious, always drive away the evil-minded, O god, drive away the evil-minded. Slayer of evil, protector of the inspired, do not abandon us. For thus the creator has begotten you, O benefactor, as the slayer of demons, he has begotten you, O benefactor.
एन्द्र याह्युप नः परावतो नायमच्छा विदथानीव सत्पतिरस्तं राजेव सत्पतिः । हवामहे त्वा वयं प्रयस्वन्तः सुते सचा । पुत्रासो न पितरं वाजसातये मंहिष्ठं वाजसातये
O Indra, come to us from afar, directly, like a true lord to the gatherings, like the sun to the setting, like a true lord. We call upon you, eager for the prize, together with the pressed Soma. Like sons to a father for the gaining of strength, most mighty for the gaining of strength.
पिबा सोममिन्द्र सुवानमद्रिभिः कोशेन सिक्तमवतं न वंसगस्तातृषाणो न वंसगः । मदाय हर्यताय ते तुविष्टमाय धायसे । आ त्वा यच्छन्तु हरितो न सूर्यमहा विश्वेव सूर्यम्
Drink the pressed Soma, O Indra, with the stones, poured into the vessel, like a thirsty calf at the udder. For your intoxication, for your delight, for your great strength, may the bays bring you, like all the gods bring the sun.
अविन्दद्दिवो निहितं गुहा निधिं वेर्न गर्भं परिवीतमश्मन्यनन्ते अन्तरश्मनि । व्रजं वज्री गवामिव सिषासन्नङ्गिरस्तमः । अपावृणोदिष इन्द्रः परीवृता द्वार इषः परीवृताः
He found the hidden treasure laid in the sky, the embryo of truth, enveloped in the boundless stone. Longing for the herd, the wielder of the bolt, like the Aṅgirases, dispelled the darkness. Indra opened the closed doors of the treasure.
दादृहाणो वज्रमिन्द्रो गभस्त्योः क्षद्मेव तिग्ममसनाय सं श्यदहिहत्याय सं श्यत् । संविव्यान ओजसा शवोभिरिन्द्र मज्मना । तष्टेव वृक्षं वनिनो नि वृश्चसि परश्वेव नि वृश्चसि
Indra, holding the bolt in his hands, struck like one who splits wood with a sharp axe, for the slaying of the serpent. Expanding with might and power, Indra, with his force, like a carver fells a tree, you cut down with the axe.
त्वं वृथा नद्य इन्द्र सर्तवेऽच्छा समुद्रमसृजो रथाँ इव वाजयतो रथाँ इव । इत ऊतीरयुञ्जत समानमर्थमक्षितम् । धेनूरिव मनवे विश्वदोहसो जनाय विश्वदोहसः
O Indra, you let the rivers flow freely for crossing, you sent them toward the ocean like racing chariots. By your guidance, they move together toward the same, unfailing goal, like cows yielding milk for Manu, for all people, giving their bounty to all.
इमां ते वाचं वसूयन्त आयवो रथं न धीरः स्वपा अतक्षिषुः सुम्नाय त्वामतक्षिषुः । शुम्भन्तो जेन्यं यथा वाजेषु विप्र वाजिनम् । अत्यमिव शवसे सातये धना विश्वा धनानि सातये
Desiring wealth, the skilled poets have shaped this speech for you, like craftsmen fashioning a chariot for favor, shaping it for your grace. Adorning you as one worthy of praise in contests, O inspired one, as they would a swift horse in races, for strength and for the winning of all riches.
भिनत्पुरो नवतिमिन्द्र पूरवे दिवोदासाय महि दाशुषे नृतो वज्रेण दाशुषे नृतो । अतिथिग्वाय शम्बरं गिरेरुग्रो अवाभरत् । महो धनानि दयमान ओजसा विश्वा धनान्योजसा
Indra, you broke ninety fortresses for Purus, for Divodāsa, the great giver, with your thunderbolt, O hero. For Atithigva, you cast down Śambara from the mountain, distributing great wealth with your might, granting all riches with your power.
इन्द्रः समत्सु यजमानमार्यं प्रावद्विश्वेषु शतमूतिराजिषु स्वर्मीळ्हेष्वाजिषु । मनवे शासदव्रतान्त्वचं कृष्णामरन्धयत् । दक्षन्न विश्वं ततृषाणमोषति न्यर्शसानमोषति
Indra, in battles you protected the noble worshiper, ever victorious in all assemblies, shining in the contests where the prize is light. You, upholding the law, blinded the skin of the black one for Manu. With skill, you never fail to fulfill all desires, nor do you ever fall short.
सूरश्चक्रं प्र वृहज्जात ओजसा प्रपित्वे वाचमरुणो मुषायतीऽशान आ मुषायति । उशना यत्परावतोऽजगन्नूतये कवे । सुम्नानि विश्वा मनुषेव तुर्वणिरहा विश्वेव तुर्वणिः
The sun, born with great power, set the wheel in motion; the reddish one sends forth his speech at the beginning, the lord sends it forth. When Uśanā came from afar for help, O sage, you granted all blessings to Manu, as Turvaṇa did for all, as Turvaṇa did for all.
स नो नव्येभिर्वृषकर्मन्नुक्थैः पुरां दर्तः पायुभिः पाहि शग्मैः । दिवोदासेभिरिन्द्र स्तवानो वावृधीथा अहोभिरिव द्यौः
O mighty Indra, praised with new hymns for your heroic deeds, you who have shattered fortresses, protect us with your guardianship and strength. With the Divodāsas, being praised, you have grown in greatness, like the sky with each passing day.
इन्द्राय हि द्यौरसुरो अनम्नतेन्द्राय मही पृथिवी वरीमभिर्द्युम्नसाता वरीमभिः । इन्द्रं विश्वे सजोषसो देवासो दधिरे पुरः । इन्द्राय विश्वा सवनानि मानुषा रातानि सन्तु मानुषा
For Indra, the mighty sky has bowed down, for Indra, the great earth has widened with gifts of glory. All the gods, united, have placed Indra at the forefront. May all human offerings at the sacrifices be for Indra, may all gifts be for Indra.
विश्वेषु हि त्वा सवनेषु तुञ्जते समानमेकं वृषमण्यवः पृथक्स्वः सनिष्यवः पृथक् । तं त्वा नावं न पर्षणिं शूषस्य धुरि धीमहि । इन्द्रं न यज्ञैश्चितयन्त आयव स्तोमेभिरिन्द्रमायवः
At all the sacrifices, they harness you, the one bull, with their own strength, each separately, each with their own desire. We place you, like a boat or a raft, at the yoke of the contest. The priests seek Indra with their hymns, desiring him with their songs.
वि त्वा ततस्रे मिथुना अवस्यवो व्रजस्य साता गव्यस्य निःसृजः सक्षन्त इन्द्र निःसृजः । यद्गव्यन्ता द्वा जना स्वर्यन्ता समूहसि । आविष्करिक्रद्वृषणं सचाभुवं वज्रमिन्द्र सचाभुवम्
Three pairs of helpers have spread you out, O Indra, as the winner of the herd, the releaser of the cattle. When the two peoples, seeking cows and light, gather together, you reveal the mighty, companioned thunderbolt, O Indra.
विदुष्टे अस्य वीर्यस्य पूरवः पुरो यदिन्द्र शारदीरवातिरः सासहानो अवातिरः । शासस्तमिन्द्र मर्त्यमयज्युं शवसस्पते । महीममुष्णाः पृथिवीमिमा अपो मन्दसान इमा अपः
The Purus knew your heroic deeds, O Indra, when you overthrew the autumnal forts, conquering them. You, Indra, lord of strength, have subdued the mortal, the non-sacrificer. You have heated the great earth, you have measured out these waters, delighting in them.
आदित्ते अस्य वीर्यस्य चर्किरन्मदेषु वृषन्नुशिजो यदाविथ सखीयतो यदाविथ । चकर्थ कारमेभ्यः पृतनासु प्रवन्तवे । ते अन्यामन्यां नद्यं सनिष्णत श्रवस्यन्तः सनिष्णत
From the very beginning, they have praised your heroic deeds, O bull, in your exhilaration, when you aided the Usijs as a friend. You made a channel for them to flow in battle. They, seeking fame, have mingled one river with another.
उतो नो अस्या उषसो जुषेत ह्यर्कस्य बोधि हविषो हवीमभिः स्वर्षाता हवीमभिः । यदिन्द्र हन्तवे मृधो वृषा वज्रिञ्चिकेतसि । आ मे अस्य वेधसो नवीयसो मन्म श्रुधि नवीयसः
May she, the dawn, be pleased with us, and may she be mindful of our hymn and our offering, bringing us the light. When, Indra, you, the bull, are eager to strike down the foe, listen to my newest song, O wise one.
त्वं तमिन्द्र वावृधानो अस्मयुरमित्रयन्तं तुविजात मर्त्यं वज्रेण शूर मर्त्यम् । जहि यो नो अघायति शृणुष्व सुश्रवस्तमः । रिष्टं न यामन्नप भूतु दुर्मतिर्विश्वाप भूतु दुर्मतिः
You, Indra, growing strong for us, strike down the unfriendly, hostile mortal with your thunderbolt, O hero. Destroy the one who harms us, hear us, most renowned one. Let no harm come to our journey, let all evil thoughts be far from us.
त्वया वयं मघवन्पूर्व्ये धन इन्द्रत्वोताः सासह्याम पृतन्यतो वनुयाम वनुष्यतः । नेदिष्ठे अस्मिन्नहन्यधि वोचा नु सुन्वते । अस्मिन्यज्ञे वि चयेमा भरे कृतं वाजयन्तो भरे कृतम्
With you, O generous Indra, may we, aided by your power, overcome in battle, conquer those who challenge us. Let us speak here, in this sacrifice, for the one who pours the Soma. In this rite, let us win the prize, striving for victory.
स्वर्जेषे भर आप्रस्य वक्मन्युषर्बुधः स्वस्मिन्नञ्जसि क्राणस्य स्वस्मिन्नञ्जसि । अहन्निन्द्रो यथा विदे शीर्ष्णाशीर्ष्णोपवाच्यः । अस्मत्रा ते सध्र्यक्सन्तु रातयो भद्रा भद्रस्य रातयः
Bring the prize for the one who seeks the sun, for the one who desires the wealth of the dawn, for the one who seeks it in his own dwelling. Indra struck down Arbuda as is well known, with his head, as is to be proclaimed. May your gifts be with us, may the blessings of the good be with the good.
तत्तु प्रयः प्रत्नथा ते शुशुक्वनं यस्मिन्यज्ञे वारमकृण्वत क्षयमृतस्य वारसि क्षयम् । वि तद्वोचेरध द्वितान्तः पश्यन्ति रश्मिभिः । स घा विदे अन्विन्द्रो गवेषणो बन्धुक्षिद्भ्यो गवेषणः
That ancient bounty of yours, in which they made a dwelling for immortality in the sacrifice, that you have declared, O Indra, so that all may see it with their rays. Indeed, Indra knows it, seeking the cows, among his kin.
नू इत्था ते पूर्वथा च प्रवाच्यं यदङ्गिरोभ्योऽवृणोरप व्रजमिन्द्र शिक्षन्नप व्रजम् । ऐभ्यः समान्या दिशास्मभ्यं जेषि योत्सि च । सुन्वद्भ्यो रन्धया कं चिदव्रतं हृणायन्तं चिदव्रतम्
Now, as before, your deeds must be spoken of, when you, Indra, opened the enclosure for the Angirases, seeking the herd. You have given them a common share, you win and fight for us. Drive away any lawless one, even one who is angry, from those who press Soma.
सं यज्जनान्क्रतुभिः शूर ईक्षयद्धने हिते तरुषन्त श्रवस्यवः प्र यक्षन्त श्रवस्यवः । तस्मा आयुः प्रजावदिद्बाधे अर्चन्त्योजसा । इन्द्र ओक्यं दिधिषन्त धीतयो देवाँ अच्छा न धीतयः
He, the hero, watches over those who strive for wealth with their powers, those who seek fame, those who offer praise. Therefore, long life and offspring are granted to him who worships with strength. The inspired thoughts of the gods seek Indra's dwelling, our thoughts turn to him.
युवं तमिन्द्रापर्वता पुरोयुधा यो नः पृतन्यादप तंतमिद्धतं वज्रेण तंतमिद्धतम् । दूरे चत्ताय च्छन्त्सद्गहनं यदिनक्षत् । अस्माकं शत्रून्परि शूर विश्वतो दर्मा दर्षीष्ट विश्वतः
You two, Indra and Parvata, with your weapons at the forefront, drive away from us the one who attacks us in battle—strike down that raised foe with your thunderbolt, strike him down. Cast him far away, let him depart to a deep abyss if he has harmed us. O heroic one, surround all our enemies on every side and scatter them utterly on every side.
उभे पुनामि रोदसी ऋतेन द्रुहो दहामि सं महीरनिन्द्राः । अभिव्लग्य यत्र हता अमित्रा वैलस्थानं परि तृळ्हा अशेरन्
With truth I purify both heaven and earth; I burn away the deceits, O sinless ones, I destroy the great ones. Where the enemies have been struck down, there the hostile dwellings have been shattered and the strongholds have collapsed.
अभिव्लग्या चिदद्रिवः शीर्षा यातुमतीनाम् । छिन्धि वटूरिणा पदा महावटूरिणा पदा
Even with your mighty force, O stone-wielder, strike the heads of those who intend harm. Cut them down with your sharp foot, with your great, sharp foot.
