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.
प्र सु ज्येष्ठं निचिराभ्यां बृहन्नमो हव्यं मतिं भरता मृळयद्भ्यां स्वादिष्ठं मृळयद्भ्याम् । ता सम्राजा घृतासुती यज्ञेयज्ञ उपस्तुता । अथैनोः क्षत्रं न कुतश्चनाधृषे देवत्वं नू चिदाधृषे
Now, with reverence, let us bring the highest, the ancient, the great praise, the offering, the prayer to the gracious two, the most delightful to the gracious two. Those two sovereigns, rich in ghee, worthy of sacrifice, praised at the rite—no one can overcome their power, not from anywhere; even now, no one can overcome their divinity.
अदर्शि गातुरुरवे वरीयसी पन्था ऋतस्य समयंस्त रश्मिभिश्चक्षुर्भगस्य रश्मिभिः । द्युक्षं मित्रस्य सादनमर्यम्णो वरुणस्य च । अथा दधाते बृहदुक्थ्यं वय उपस्तुत्यं बृहद्वयः
The broad path has been seen, the most spacious way, the path of truth, which they measured with the rays, with the rays of Bhaga's vision. The shining seat of Mitra, of Aryaman, and of Varuṇa. Then they establish the great hymn, the praise, the great strength to be praised.
ज्योतिष्मतीमदितिं धारयत्क्षितिं स्वर्वतीमा सचेते दिवेदिवे जागृवांसा दिवेदिवे । ज्योतिष्मत्क्षत्रमाशाते आदित्या दानुनस्पती । मित्रस्तयोर्वरुणो यातयज्जनोऽर्यमा यातयज्जनः
They uphold the radiant, immortal Aditi, the earth full of light; they watch, day by day, ever wakeful, day by day. The Ādityas, lords of gifts, possess the radiant power; Mitra and Varuṇa guide the people, Aryaman guides the people.
अयं मित्राय वरुणाय शंतमः सोमो भूत्ववपानेष्वाभगो देवो देवेष्वाभगः । तं देवासो जुषेरत विश्वे अद्य सजोषसः । तथा राजाना करथो यदीमह ऋतावाना यदीमहे
May this Soma, most pleasant in the libations, be auspicious for Mitra and Varuṇa, the god without misfortune among the gods. May all the gods together enjoy him today. So may you two kings act, as we desire, in accordance with truth, as we desire.
यो मित्राय वरुणायाविधज्जनोऽनर्वाणं तं परि पातो अंहसो दाश्वांसं मर्तमंहसः । तमर्यमाभि रक्षत्यृजूयन्तमनु व्रतम् । उक्थैर्य एनोः परिभूषति व्रतं स्तोमैराभूषति व्रतम्
Whoever, among men, worships Mitra and Varuṇa, let him, blameless, be protected from harm, the worshipper, the mortal from harm. Aryaman guards him, following the straight path, according to the law. With hymns he adorns their ordinance, with praises he adorns their ordinance.
नमो दिवे बृहते रोदसीभ्यां मित्राय वोचं वरुणाय मीळ्हुषे सुमृळीकाय मीळ्हुषे । इन्द्रमग्निमुप स्तुहि द्युक्षमर्यमणं भगम् । ज्योग्जीवन्तः प्रजया सचेमहि सोमस्योती सचेमहि
Homage to the great heaven, to the two worlds; I will speak to Mitra, to Varuṇa, the gracious, the most gracious. Praise Indra and Agni, the shining Aryaman, Bhaga. May we live long with offspring, may we be united with the help of Soma.
ऊती देवानां वयमिन्द्रवन्तो मंसीमहि स्वयशसो मरुद्भिः । अग्निर्मित्रो वरुणः शर्म यंसन्तदश्याम मघवानो वयं च
With the aid of the gods, may we, endowed with Indra's might, be glorious with the Maruts. May Agni, Mitra, Varuṇa grant us shelter; may we, O generous ones, and our offspring, attain it.
सुषुमा यातमद्रिभिर्गोश्रीता मत्सरा इमे सोमासो मत्सरा इमे । आ राजाना दिविस्पृशास्मत्रा गन्तमुप नः । इमे वां मित्रावरुणा गवाशिरः सोमाः शुक्रा गवाशिरः
Gladly come with the stones, you who seek the cows; these Somas are eager, these Somas are eager. O kings, reaching to the sky, come to us, come near. These bright Somas with the cow's milk are for you, Mitra and Varuṇa, bright Somas with the cow's milk.
इम आ यातमिन्दवः सोमासो दध्याशिरः सुतासो दध्याशिरः । उत वामुषसो बुधि साकं सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिः । सुतो मित्राय वरुणाय पीतये चारुरृताय पीतये
These drops, the Somas, pressed with curd, are coming to you; pressed with curd. And the dawns awaken you together with the rays of the sun. The pressed Soma is for Mitra and Varuṇa to drink, lovely, for the righteous to drink.
तां वां धेनुं न वासरीमंशुं दुहन्त्यद्रिभिः सोमं दुहन्त्यद्रिभिः । अस्मत्रा गन्तमुप नोऽर्वाञ्चा सोमपीतये । अयं वां मित्रावरुणा नृभिः सुतः सोम आ पीतये सुतः
That cow, as it were, your morning draught, they milk with the stones, they milk Soma with the stones. Come to us, come near, for the drinking of Soma. This pressed Soma, O Mitra and Varuṇa, is for you to drink, pressed by men.
