अध्वर्यवो यः शतमा सहस्रं भूम्या उपस्थेऽवपज्जघन्वान् । कुत्सस्यायोरतिथिग्वस्य वीरान्न्यावृणग्भरता सोममस्मै
O priests, he who has seized a hundred and a thousand in the lap of the earth, who has struck down, has covered the warriors of Kutsa, Ayu, Atithigva—offer Soma to him, to Indra.
अध्वर्यवो यन्नरः कामयाध्वे श्रुष्टी वहन्तो नशथा तदिन्द्रे । गभस्तिपूतं भरत श्रुतायेन्द्राय सोमं यज्यवो जुहोत
O priests, when men desire with longing, carrying out the ritual, do that for Indra; offer Soma, purified by your hands, for the renowned Indra, you worshippers.
अध्वर्यवः कर्तना श्रुष्टिमस्मै वने निपूतं वन उन्नयध्वम् । जुषाणो हस्त्यमभि वावशे व इन्द्राय सोमं मदिरं जुहोत
O priests, prepare the ritual for him; raise up the wood purified in the forest; offer the exhilarating Soma to Indra, who delights in the drink, with the ritual for the mighty one.

O priests, as you fill the generous Indra with the milk of the cow and with Soma, I know his quiet presence here—he who gives, who is ever eager for sacrifice.

अस्मभ्यं तद्वसो दानाय राधः समर्थयस्व बहु ते वसव्यम् । इन्द्र यच्चित्रं श्रवस्या अनु द्यून्बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
For us, O Lord, grant that wealth for giving; establish your abundance, for much is your generosity. Indra, whatever splendid fame extends through the days, may we speak greatly in the assembly, strong in men.
प्र घा न्वस्य महतो महानि सत्या सत्यस्य करणानि वोचम् । त्रिकद्रुकेष्वपिबत्सुतस्यास्य मदे अहिमिन्द्रो जघान
Now I shall declare the great and true deeds of this mighty one, the true acts of the truthful: in the Trikadruka presses he drank the Soma, and in its exhilaration Indra slew the serpent.
अवंशे द्यामस्तभायद्बृहन्तमा रोदसी अपृणदन्तरिक्षम् । स धारयत्पृथिवीं पप्रथच्च सोमस्य ता मद इन्द्रश्चकार
He propped up the sky with his might, filled the two worlds, expanded the midspace; he sustained and spread the earth, and by the exhilaration of Soma, Indra accomplished these things.

Like a house, he measured out the eastern spaces with his powers; with the thunderbolt he cut through the channels of the rivers; he released them to flow freely on long paths—by the exhilaration of Soma, Indra accomplished these things.

नूनं सा ते प्रति वरं जरित्रे दुहीयदिन्द्र दक्षिणा मघोनी । शिक्षा स्तोतृभ्यो माति धग्भगो नो बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
Now, let your generous gift be granted to the worshipper, O Indra; let your reward be milked for us. Teach the praisers; let fortune come to us. May we speak greatly in the assembly, strong in men.
प्र वः सतां ज्येष्ठतमाय सुष्टुतिमग्नाविव समिधाने हविर्भरे । इन्द्रमजुर्यं जरयन्तमुक्षितं सनाद्युवानमवसे हवामहे
I call for you the highest praise for the best of the true, as one offers fuel to the fire in the sacrifice; we invoke Indra, unconquered, invigorating, ever youthful, for help.
यस्मादिन्द्राद्बृहतः किं चनेमृते विश्वान्यस्मिन्सम्भृताधि वीर्या । जठरे सोमं तन्वी सहो महो हस्ते वज्रं भरति शीर्षणि क्रतुम्
From Indra, the mighty, nothing is lacking; all powers are gathered in him. In his belly is Soma, in his body strength and greatness; in his hand he holds the thunderbolt, in his head wisdom.
न क्षोणीभ्यां परिभ्वे त इन्द्रियं न समुद्रैः पर्वतैरिन्द्र ते रथः । न ते वज्रमन्वश्नोति कश्चन यदाशुभिः पतसि योजना पुरु
O Indra, your strength is not surpassed by the earths, nor is your chariot matched by oceans or mountains; no one can reach your thunderbolt when you speed forth with your swift horses over many leagues.
विश्वे ह्यस्मै यजताय धृष्णवे क्रतुं भरन्ति वृषभाय सश्चते । वृषा यजस्व हविषा विदुष्टरः पिबेन्द्र सोमं वृषभेण भानुना
Indeed, all the worshipful and mighty ones bring their power to him, the Bull, who is to be praised; as a Bull, offer the oblation, most discerning, and drink, O Indra, the Soma with the radiance of a bull.
वृष्णः कोशः पवते मध्व ऊर्मिर्वृषभान्नाय वृषभाय पातवे । वृषणाध्वर्यू वृषभासो अद्रयो वृषणं सोमं वृषभाय सुष्वति
The bull's vessel flows, a wave of honey, led by bulls for the Bull to drink; the priests are bulls, the stones are bulls, and they press the bull Soma for the Bull.
वृषा ते वज्र उत ते वृषा रथो वृषणा हरी वृषभाण्यायुधा । वृष्णो मदस्य वृषभ त्वमीशिष इन्द्र सोमस्य वृषभस्य तृप्णुहि
Your thunderbolt is a bull, your chariot is a bull, your two bays are bulls, your weapons are bulls; O Bull, you rule over the exhilaration, O Indra, be satisfied with the bull Soma.
प्र ते नावं न समने वचस्युवं ब्रह्मणा यामि सवनेषु दाधृषिः । कुविन्नो अस्य वचसो निबोधिषदिन्द्रमुत्सं न वसुनः सिचामहे
I approach you with praise at the gatherings, as one who brings a boat to the assembly, O Indra, you are established in the sacrifices by the hymn; may you listen to our words, may we draw forth your wealth as one draws water from a well.
पुरा सम्बाधादभ्या ववृत्स्व नो धेनुर्न वत्सं यवसस्य पिप्युषी । सकृत्सु ते सुमतिभिः शतक्रतो सं पत्नीभिर्न वृषणो नसीमहि
From ancient distress, deliver us, as a cow her calf, eager for the pasture; with your favor, O hundred-powered one, may we, together with our wives, reach the fullness like bulls.

May your generous gift, O Indra, ever yield a choice reward for the singer; grant to the praisers, do not withhold your portion from us, so that we may speak greatly and heroically in the assembly.
तदस्मै नव्यमङ्गिरस्वदर्चत शुष्मा यदस्य प्रत्नथोदीरते । विश्वा यद्गोत्रा सहसा परीवृता मदे सोमस्य दृंहितान्यैरयत्
Sing a new hymn to him, O Angiras, for his ancient powers are now awakened; when, in the intoxication of Soma, he set in motion all the herds that were held fast by force.
स भूतु यो ह प्रथमाय धायस ओजो मिमानो महिमानमातिरत् । शूरो यो युत्सु तन्वं परिव्यत शीर्षणि द्यां महिना प्रत्यमुञ्चत
Let him be present who, for the first pressing, measured out his strength and surpassed greatness; the hero who, in battle, protected his body and with his might released the sky from the head.
अधाकृणोः प्रथमं वीर्यं महद्यदस्याग्रे ब्रह्मणा शुष्ममैरयः । रथेष्ठेन हर्यश्वेन विच्युताः प्र जीरयः सिस्रते सध्र्यक्पृथक्
Then you performed your first great deed, when at the beginning, by your power, you set your might in motion; with your chariot yoked with tawny steeds, you scattered the old ones, and the living moved together, each apart.
अधा यो विश्वा भुवनाभि मज्मनेशानकृत्प्रवया अभ्यवर्धत । आद्रोदसी ज्योतिषा वह्निरातनोत्सीव्यन्तमांसि दुधिता समव्ययत्
Then he, mastering all beings, grew in strength and advanced in his youthful vigor; then the fire stretched out the light between heaven and earth, and the shining ones spread the luminous realms.
स प्राचीनान्पर्वतान्दृंहदोजसाधराचीनमकृणोदपामपः । अधारयत्पृथिवीं विश्वधायसमस्तभ्नान्मायया द्यामवस्रसः
With his strength, he shattered the ancient mountains, he made the flowing waters descend downward; he supported the earth with all its forms, and by his power, he upheld the sky with its streams.
