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.
अवासां मघवञ्जहि शर्धो यातुमतीनाम् । वैलस्थानके अर्मके महावैलस्थे अर्मके
O generous one, drive away the band of those who intend harm. In the hostile stronghold, in the hostile place, in the great hostile stronghold, in the hostile place.
यासां तिस्रः पञ्चाशतोऽभिव्लङ्गैरपावपः । तत्सु ते मनायति तकत्सु ते मनायति
Of those whose fifty-three with hostile leaps you have swept away—this is your intention, this is your intention when you strike.
पिशङ्गभृष्टिमम्भृणं पिशाचिमिन्द्र सं मृण । सर्वं रक्षो नि बर्हय
Destroy, O Indra, the tawny missile, the demon, the sorceress—strike them down. Remove all the demon-host.
अवर्मह इन्द्र दादृहि श्रुधी नः शुशोच हि द्यौः क्षा न भीषाँ अद्रिवो घृणान्न भीषाँ अद्रिवः । शुष्मिन्तमो हि शुष्मिभिर्वधैरुग्रेभिरीयसे । अपूरुषघ्नो अप्रतीत शूर सत्वभिस्त्रिसप्तैः शूर सत्वभिः
O Indra, unarmored, be steadfast—hear us! For the sky has shone, the earth has not feared, O stone-wielder, by your radiance, the earth has not feared, O stone-wielder. Most powerful are you with your mighty weapons, you advance with fierce weapons. Slayer of the non-man, unconquered hero, with your thrice-seven powers, O hero, with your powers.
वनोति हि सुन्वन्क्षयं परीणसः सुन्वानो हि ष्मा यजत्यव द्विषो देवानामव द्विषः । सुन्वान इत्सिषासति सहस्रा वाज्यवृतः । सुन्वानायेन्द्रो ददात्याभुवं रयिं ददात्याभुवम्
He who offers the Soma wins a home, he who offers indeed worships, removing the hatred of the gods, removing the hatred. The one who offers desires strength, a thousandfold is the prize. To the one who offers, Indra gives abundant wealth, he gives abundant wealth.
आ त्वा जुवो रारहाणा अभि प्रयो वायो वहन्त्विह पूर्वपीतये सोमस्य पूर्वपीतये । ऊर्ध्वा ते अनु सूनृता मनस्तिष्ठतु जानती । नियुत्वता रथेना याहि दावने वायो मखस्य दावने
Come to us, O Vāyu, with your team, eager for the offering; let your steeds bring you here for the first draught of Soma, for the first draught. May your upright thoughts, knowing, stand by you. Come with your team-drawn chariot for the feast, O Vāyu, for the feast.
मन्दन्तु त्वा मन्दिनो वायविन्दवोऽस्मत्क्राणासः सुकृता अभिद्यवो गोभिः क्राणा अभिद्यवः । यद्ध क्राणा इरध्यै दक्षं सचन्त ऊतयः । सध्रीचीना नियुतो दावने धिय उप ब्रुवत ईं धियः
Let the exhilarating drops gladden you, O Vāyu, the pressed ones, eager for you, skillfully pressed with cows, eager, skillfully pressed. When, indeed, the eager ones seek to bestow, the aids join with skill. The teams, aligned, come for the feast, they speak forth their thoughts for the feast.
वायुर्युङ्क्ते रोहिता वायुररुणा वायू रथे अजिरा धुरि वोळ्हवे वहिष्ठा धुरि वोळ्हवे । प्र बोधया पुरंधिं जार आ ससतीमिव । प्र चक्षय रोदसी वासयोषसः श्रवसे वासयोषसः
Vāyu yokes the red steeds, Vāyu the tawny, Vāyu the swiftest to the chariot, the best at drawing the yoke. Awaken Purandhi, the beloved, as a lover awakens his beloved. Make the two worlds shine forth, O bringer of the dawns, for fame, O bringer of the dawns.
तुभ्यमुषासः शुचयः परावति भद्रा वस्त्रा तन्वते दंसु रश्मिषु चित्रा नव्येषु रश्मिषु । तुभ्यं धेनुः सबर्दुघा विश्वा वसूनि दोहते । अजनयो मरुतो वक्षणाभ्यो दिव आ वक्षणाभ्यः
For you, O Vāyu, the pure dawns, far-shining, spread out their lovely garments, bright in their bands, new in their bands. For you the cow, rich in milk, yields all treasures. The Maruts, the youths, drive from the sky, from the heavens.
तुभ्यं शुक्रासः शुचयस्तुरण्यवो मदेषूग्रा इषणन्त भुर्वण्यपामिषन्त भुर्वणि । त्वां त्सारी दसमानो भगमीट्टे तक्ववीये । त्वं विश्वस्माद्भुवनात्पासि धर्मणासुर्यात्पासि धर्मणा
For you, the bright, pure, swift ones, in the exhilarations, O mighty one, seek nourishment, desiring to enjoy, seeking nourishment. To you the worshipper, desiring, seeks Bhaga for strength. You protect all beings by law, you protect by law from the sun.
त्वं नो वायवेषामपूर्व्यः सोमानां प्रथमः पीतिमर्हसि सुतानां पीतिमर्हसि । उतो विहुत्मतीनां विशां ववर्जुषीणाम् । विश्वा इत्ते धेनवो दुह्र आशिरं घृतं दुह्रत आशिरम्
You, O Vāyu, among all these, are the first to deserve the draught of Soma, the first to deserve the draught of the pressed ones. And among the swiftly-moving hosts, among the chosen peoples, all the cows yield you rich butter, they yield rich butter.
स्तीर्णं बर्हिरुप नो याहि वीतये सहस्रेण नियुता नियुत्वते शतिनीभिर्नियुत्वते । तुभ्यं हि पूर्वपीतये देवा देवाय येमिरे । प्र ते सुतासो मधुमन्तो अस्थिरन्मदाय क्रत्वे अस्थिरन्
Come to our spread seat for refreshment, with a thousand teams, with teams, with hundreds of teams. For to you, for the first draught, the gods have yoked themselves, O god. The pressed, honey-sweet draughts have been set for your delight, for your power.
तुभ्यायं सोमः परिपूतो अद्रिभि स्पार्हा वसानः परि कोशमर्षति शुक्रा वसानो अर्षति । तवायं भाग आयुषु सोमो देवेषु हूयते । वह वायो नियुतो याह्यस्मयुर्जुषाणो याह्यस्मयुः
For you this Soma, well-purified by the stones, adorned with splendor, flows into the vessel, shining, adorned, it flows. For you this share in life, Soma, is invoked among the gods. Bring, O Vāyu, the teams, come here gladly, come here gladly.
आ नो नियुद्भिः शतिनीभिरध्वरं सहस्रिणीभिरुप याहि वीतये वायो हव्यानि वीतये । तवायं भाग ऋत्वियः सरश्मिः सूर्ये सचा । अध्वर्युभिर्भरमाणा अयंसत वायो शुक्रा अयंसत
Come to us with your hundreds of teams, with thousands, to the sacrifice, O Vāyu, to the offerings, to the sacrifice. For you this share, O officiant, the radiant one, together with the sun. The priests, bearing, have driven the bright ones, O Vāyu, have driven the bright ones.
आ वां रथो नियुत्वान्वक्षदवसेऽभि प्रयांसि सुधितानि वीतये वायो हव्यानि वीतये । पिबतं मध्वो अन्धसः पूर्वपेयं हि वां हितम् । वायवा चन्द्रेण राधसा गतमिन्द्रश्च राधसा गतम्
Your chariot, O Vāyu, yoked with teams, comes for help, for the well-prepared offerings, for the feast, O Vāyu, for the offerings, for the feast. Drink the honeyed Soma, for the first draught is set for you. O Vāyu, come with shining bounty, come with Indra, with bounty.
आ वां धियो ववृत्युरध्वराँ उपेममिन्दुं मर्मृजन्त वाजिनमाशुमत्यं न वाजिनम् । तेषां पिबतमस्मयू आ नो गन्तमिहोत्या । इन्द्रवायू सुतानामद्रिभिर्युवं मदाय वाजदा युवम्
To you two, our thoughts have turned at the sacrifice; here they have purified this Soma, the swift one, like a spirited horse. Of these, drink for our delight; come to us here at this rite. Indra and Vāyu, with the pressing stones, you both give strength, you both give the prize.
इमे वां सोमा अप्स्वा सुता इहाध्वर्युभिर्भरमाणा अयंसत वायो शुक्रा अयंसत । एते वामभ्यसृक्षत तिरः पवित्रमाशवः । युवायवोऽति रोमाण्यव्यया सोमासो अत्यव्यया
These Somas for you two have been pressed in the waters, being borne by the priests; O Vāyu, the bright ones have been brought forth. These, eager, have flowed through the filter. Your youthful Somas, ever-renewed, pass beyond the wool, Somas ever-renewed.
अति वायो ससतो याहि शश्वतो यत्र ग्रावा वदति तत्र गच्छतं गृहमिन्द्रश्च गच्छतम् । वि सूनृता ददृशे रीयते घृतमा पूर्णया नियुता याथो अध्वरमिन्द्रश्च याथो अध्वरम्
Go beyond, O Vāyu, to the ever-flowing, where the stone speaks constantly; there, Indra, go to the house. The gracious speech is seen, the clarified butter is poured out, the full troop advances to the rite; Indra, you both advance to the rite.
अत्राह तद्वहेथे मध्व आहुतिं यमश्वत्थमुपतिष्ठन्त जायवोऽस्मे ते सन्तु जायवः । साकं गावः सुवते पच्यते यवो न ते वाय उप दस्यन्ति धेनवो नाप दस्यन्ति धेनवः
Here, indeed, you two accept this sweet offering; your sons attend the sacred fig tree—may sons be ours. Together the cows are milked, the barley is cooked; for you, O Vāyu, the cows come up, the cows come up to you.
इमे ये ते सु वायो बाह्वोजसोऽन्तर्नदी ते पतयन्त्युक्षणो महि व्राधन्त उक्षणः । धन्वञ्चिद्ये अनाशवो जीराश्चिदगिरौकसः । सूर्यस्येव रश्मयो दुर्नियन्तवो हस्तयोर्दुर्नियन्तवः
These, O Vāyu, your strong-armed, mighty ones, the bulls, fly within the rivers, the bulls grow great. Even in the desert, tireless, even old, dwelling on the mountain, like the rays of the sun, hard to restrain, hard to restrain by the hands.
