स्तवा नु त इन्द्र पूर्व्या महान्युत स्तवाम नूतना कृतानि । स्तवा वज्रं बाह्वोरुशन्तं स्तवा हरी सूर्यस्य केतू
Let us praise, O Indra, your ancient great deeds, and let us now praise your recent acts; let us praise the thunderbolt, broad in your arms, let us praise your steeds, the banners of the sun.
हरी नु त इन्द्र वाजयन्ता घृतश्चुतं स्वारमस्वार्ष्टाम् । वि समना भूमिरप्रथिष्टारंस्त पर्वतश्चित्सरिष्यन्
Your two steeds, O Indra, bring victory, flowing with ghee, with a clear and pleasant sound; the earth, unshaken, was spread out, and even the mountain moved forward.
नि पर्वतः साद्यप्रयुच्छन्सं मातृभिर्वावशानो अक्रान् । दूरे पारे वाणीं वर्धयन्त इन्द्रेषितां धमनिं पप्रथन्नि
The mountain, loosened, fell down, rushing forth, rejoicing with its mothers; far and wide, they increased the voice, spreading the channel set in motion by Indra.
इन्द्रो महां सिन्धुमाशयानं मायाविनं वृत्रमस्फुरन्निः । अरेजेतां रोदसी भियाने कनिक्रदतो वृष्णो अस्य वज्रात्
Indra, the mighty, struck down the great, lying serpent Vritra, the master of illusion; the two worlds trembled in fear at the roaring of the bull and his thunderbolt.
अरोरवीद्वृष्णो अस्य वज्रोऽमानुषं यन्मानुषो निजूर्वात् । नि मायिनो दानवस्य माया अपादयत्पपिवान्सुतस्य
The thunderbolt of this bull roared aloud when the man struck the non-human; he cast down the illusions of the crafty Danu, having drunk the pressed Soma.
पिबापिबेदिन्द्र शूर सोमं मन्दन्तु त्वा मन्दिनः सुतासः । पृणन्तस्ते कुक्षी वर्धयन्त्वित्था सुतः पौर इन्द्रमाव
Drink, drink, O Indra, hero, the Soma; let the pressed juices make you rejoice; your bellies are filled and increased—thus, the pressed Soma calls Indra to us.
त्वे इन्द्राप्यभूम विप्रा धियं वनेम ऋतया सपन्तः । अवस्यवो धीमहि प्रशस्तिं सद्यस्ते रायो दावने स्याम
Through you, O Indra, we have become powerful, O wise one; let us win insight, walking in truth; let us obtain your help, let us gain praise, so that we may be ready for your wealth at once.
स्याम ते त इन्द्र ये त ऊती अवस्यव ऊर्जं वर्धयन्तः । शुष्मिन्तमं यं चाकनाम देवास्मे रयिं रासि वीरवन्तम्
May we be among those, O Indra, whom you protect, who, with your help, increase our strength; O gods, let us praise the most vigorous one—grant us, Indra, wealth rich in heroes.
रासि क्षयं रासि मित्रमस्मे रासि शर्ध इन्द्र मारुतं नः । सजोषसो ये च मन्दसानाः प्र वायवः पान्त्यग्रणीतिम्
Grant us a dwelling, grant us friendship, grant us, Indra, your force like the Maruts; those who rejoice together, let the winds lead them to the foremost path.
व्यन्त्विन्नु येषु मन्दसानस्तृपत्सोमं पाहि द्रह्यदिन्द्र । अस्मान्सु पृत्स्वा तरुत्रावर्धयो द्यां बृहद्भिरर्कैः
Among those in whom you delight, drink the pressed Soma to your fill, O Indra; protect us in battles, increase our strength, and with great hymns, uphold the sky.
बृहन्त इन्नु ये ते तरुत्रोक्थेभिर्वा सुम्नमाविवासान् । स्तृणानासो बर्हिः पस्त्यावत्त्वोता इदिन्द्र वाजमग्मन्
Those who are mighty, O Indra, who call you with hymns, seeking your favor, spreading the sacred grass in their homes—these, O Indra, have attained the prize.
उग्रेष्विन्नु शूर मन्दसानस्त्रिकद्रुकेषु पाहि सोममिन्द्र । प्रदोधुवच्छ्मश्रुषु प्रीणानो याहि हरिभ्यां सुतस्य पीतिम्
O fierce hero, delighting, drink the Soma at the three vats, O Indra; be pleased with the bearded ones who praise you—come with your steeds to the drink of the pressed Soma.
धिष्वा शवः शूर येन वृत्रमवाभिनद्दानुमौर्णवाभम् । अपावृणोर्ज्योतिरार्याय नि सव्यतः सादि दस्युरिन्द्र
Take up your might, O hero, with which you struck down Vritra, the Danu, like a swelling cloud; you uncovered the light for the Aryan, and from the right side, O Indra, the Dasyu sat down.
सनेम ये त ऊतिभिस्तरन्तो विश्वा स्पृध आर्येण दस्यून् । अस्मभ्यं तत्त्वाष्ट्रं विश्वरूपमरन्धयः साख्यस्य त्रिताय
May we, with your help, overcome all hostilities, O Indra, conquering the Dasyus with Aryan strength; grant us the all-formed wealth of Tvashtar for ourselves, as you did for Tritas, the friend.
अस्य सुवानस्य मन्दिनस्त्रितस्य न्यर्बुदं वावृधानो अस्तः । अवर्तयत्सूर्यो न चक्रं भिनद्वलमिन्द्रो अङ्गिरस्वान्
Indra, growing strong through the pressing of this exhilarating Soma, shattered the cloud; like the sun turning its wheel, he split open Vala, O Angiras.
नूनं सा ते प्रति वरं जरित्रे दुहीयदिन्द्र दक्षिणा मघोनी । शिक्षा स्तोतृभ्यो माति धग्भगो नो बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
May that generous reward, O Indra, always be granted to the singer; teach us, O giver of riches, do not withhold your portion from the praisers—may we speak mightily in the assembly, victorious.
