एवा ते गृत्समदाः शूर मन्मावस्यवो न वयुनानि तक्षुः । ब्रह्मण्यन्त इन्द्र ते नवीय इषमूर्जं सुक्षितिं सुम्नमश्युः
Thus, O hero, the Gritsamadas have fashioned their hymn for you, as craftsmen their works. Devoted to the sacred utterance, Indra, may they ever gain your favor, strength, prosperity, and graciousness.
नूनं सा ते प्रति वरं जरित्रे दुहीयदिन्द्र दक्षिणा मघोनी । शिक्षा स्तोतृभ्यो माति धग्भगो नो बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
Now may that generous bounty, O Indra, be granted to the worshipper as a special gift. Grant to the singers; let not fortune fail us. May we speak mightily in the assembly, heroes all.
वयं ते वय इन्द्र विद्धि षु णः प्र भरामहे वाजयुर्न रथम् । विपन्यवो दीध्यतो मनीषा सुम्नमियक्षन्तस्त्वावतो नॄन्
We, O Indra, are your companions; know us. We bring you the chariot as warriors. Wise, shining in thought, we seek your favor, longing for your protection, O lord of men.
त्वं न इन्द्र त्वाभिरूती त्वायतो अभिष्टिपासि जनान् । त्वमिनो दाशुषो वरूतेत्थाधीरभि यो नक्षति त्वा
You, Indra, with your aid, with your power, protect the people. You, as the guardian, defend the worshipper, as a wise leader, from whoever attacks him.
स नो युवेन्द्रो जोहूत्रः सखा शिवो नरामस्तु पाता । यः शंसन्तं यः शशमानमूती पचन्तं च स्तुवन्तं च प्रणेषत्
May Indra, young and invoked, be our friend, gracious protector of men; he who brings near the one who praises, the one who is patient, the one who cooks, and the one who sings hymns.
तमु स्तुष इन्द्रं तं गृणीषे यस्मिन्पुरा वावृधुः शाशदुश्च । स वस्वः कामं पीपरदियानो ब्रह्मण्यतो नूतनस्यायोः
That Indra I praise, that Indra I glorify, in whom of old the strong have rejoiced; he, being invoked, fulfills the desire for wealth for the one who offers new prayers.
सो अङ्गिरसामुचथा जुजुष्वान्ब्रह्मा तूतोदिन्द्रो गातुमिष्णन् । मुष्णन्नुषसः सूर्येण स्तवानश्नस्य चिच्छिश्नथत्पूर्व्याणि
He, favoring the songs of the Angirases, Indra, eager for praise, seeking the path, stole the dawns with the sun; even the ancient things he shattered, singing, with his might.
स ह श्रुत इन्द्रो नाम देव ऊर्ध्वो भुवन्मनुषे दस्मतमः । अव प्रियमर्शसानस्य साह्वाञ्छिरो भरद्दासस्य स्वधावान्
That renowned Indra, the god, stands exalted, most formidable among beings; he, self-sustaining, brought down the head of the proud, beloved, challenging Dasa.
स वृत्रहेन्द्रः कृष्णयोनीः पुरंदरो दासीरैरयद्वि । अजनयन्मनवे क्षामपश्च सत्रा शंसं यजमानस्य तूतोत्
That slayer of Vritra, Indra, destroyer of black wombs, scattered the Dasa peoples; he created wide lands for Manu, and together brought blessing to the worshiper.
तस्मै तवस्यमनु दायि सत्रेन्द्राय देवेभिरर्णसातौ । प्रति यदस्य वज्रं बाह्वोर्धुर्हत्वी दस्यून्पुर आयसीर्नि तारीत्
To him, mighty Indra, was strength given, with the gods, in the contest for riches; when he set his thunderbolt upon his arms, he slew the foes and broke the iron fortresses.
नूनं सा ते प्रति वरं जरित्रे दुहीयदिन्द्र दक्षिणा मघोनी । शिक्षा स्तोतृभ्यो माति धग्भगो नो बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
Now may that generous reward be granted to you, O Indra, for the singer; teach us, O bountiful one, do not withhold; may we speak great words in the assembly, strong in men.
विश्वजिते धनजिते स्वर्जिते सत्राजिते नृजित उर्वराजिते । अश्वजिते गोजिते अब्जिते भरेन्द्राय सोमं यजताय हर्यतम्
To Indra, conqueror of all, winner of wealth, winner of light, winner of truth, subduer of men, winner of fields, winner of horses, winner of cows, winner of waters, offer the Soma, most worthy of worship.

To the overcomer, the breaker, the powerful, the enduring, the wise, the mighty, the blazing, the difficult to assail, the universal victor—speak homage to Indra.
सत्रासाहो जनभक्षो जनंसहश्च्यवनो युध्मो अनु जोषमुक्षितः । वृतंचयः सहुरिर्विक्ष्वारित इन्द्रस्य वोचं प्र कृतानि वीर्या
Universal victor, consumer of hosts, subduer of men, impetuous, eager for battle, destroyer of the foe, mighty, subduer of tribes—of Indra I will declare the heroic deeds.
अनानुदो वृषभो दोधतो वधो गम्भीर ऋष्वो असमष्टकाव्यः । रध्रचोदः श्नथनो वीळितस्पृथुरिन्द्रः सुयज्ञ उषसः स्वर्जनत्
Unopposed, the bull, the striker, the deep, the lofty, the unassailable, the wise, the inspirer of the weak, the breaker, the broad-spread—Indra, well-worshipped, created the dawns and the light.
यज्ञेन गातुमप्तुरो विविद्रिरे धियो हिन्वाना उशिजो मनीषिणः । अभिस्वरा निषदा गा अवस्यव इन्द्रे हिन्वाना द्रविणान्याशत
By sacrifice, the eager, the wise, the inspired, sought the path; the Usij priests, urging their thoughts, sat down with songs for help, seeking riches in Indra.
इन्द्र श्रेष्ठानि द्रविणानि धेहि चित्तिं दक्षस्य सुभगत्वमस्मे । पोषं रयीणामरिष्टिं तनूनां स्वाद्मानं वाचः सुदिनत्वमह्नाम्
Indra, bestow upon us the highest treasures, intelligence, skill, and good fortune; grant us the increase of wealth, safety of bodies, sweetness of speech, and bright days.
त्रिकद्रुकेषु महिषो यवाशिरं तुविशुष्मस्तृपत्सोममपिबद्विष्णुना सुतं यथावशत् । स ईं ममाद महि कर्म कर्तवे महामुरुं सैनं सश्चद्देवो देवं सत्यमिन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः
In the Trikadruka sacrifice, the bull with barley-mixed soma, very mighty, drank the pressed soma with Vishnu as he desired; he rejoiced in it, to perform a great deed, the god joined the god—true Indra, true Soma.
अध त्विषीमाँ अभ्योजसा क्रिविं युधाभवदा रोदसी अपृणदस्य मज्मना प्र वावृधे । अधत्तान्यं जठरे प्रेमरिच्यत सैनं सश्चद्देवो देवं सत्यमिन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः
Then, with his power and might, he became a champion in battle, filled both worlds with his strength, and grew great; he placed the other in his belly, he shone forth—thus the god joined the god—true Indra, true Soma.
साकं जातः क्रतुना साकमोजसा ववक्षिथ साकं वृद्धो वीर्यैः सासहिर्मृधो विचर्षणिः । दाता राधः स्तुवते काम्यं वसु सैनं सश्चद्देवो देवं सत्यमिन्द्रं सत्य इन्दुः
Born together with will and strength, you grew together, mighty with heroic deeds, overcoming enemies, wise among men; giver of desired wealth to the praiser—the god joined the god—true Indra, true Soma.
तव त्यन्नर्यं नृतोऽप इन्द्र प्रथमं पूर्व्यं दिवि प्रवाच्यं कृतम् । यद्देवस्य शवसा प्रारिणा असुं रिणन्नपः । भुवद्विश्वमभ्यादेवमोजसा विदादूर्जं शतक्रतुर्विदादिषम्
That ancient heroic deed of yours, O Indra, first and foremost in heaven, is to be proclaimed; when, with the god's might, you struck down the breath and the waters, you became all-pervading with your power, O hundred-powered, you found strength and food.
गणानां त्वा गणपतिं हवामहे कविं कवीनामुपमश्रवस्तमम् । ज्येष्ठराजं ब्रह्मणां ब्रह्मणस्पत आ नः शृण्वन्नूतिभिः सीद सादनम्
We invoke you, the leader of the hosts, the sage of sages, most renowned; greatest king of prayers, O Lord of Prayer, hear us and sit down with your protections.
देवाश्चित्ते असुर्य प्रचेतसो बृहस्पते यज्ञियं भागमानशुः । उस्रा इव सूर्यो ज्योतिषा महो विश्वेषामिज्जनिता ब्रह्मणामसि
O Bṛhaspati, the gods, possessing divine insight, have apportioned to you the most worthy share of the sacrifice; like the dawn with the sun, you shine forth with radiance; you are the creator of all hymns through your power.
आ विबाध्या परिरापस्तमांसि च ज्योतिष्मन्तं रथमृतस्य तिष्ठसि । बृहस्पते भीमममित्रदम्भनं रक्षोहणं गोत्रभिदं स्वर्विदम्
You drive away darkness and encircling gloom; you stand upon the radiant chariot of truth; O Bṛhaspati, formidable, destroyer of foes, slayer of demons, breaker of barriers, knower of the light.
सुनीतिभिर्नयसि त्रायसे जनं यस्तुभ्यं दाशान्न तमंहो अश्नवत् । ब्रह्मद्विषस्तपनो मन्युमीरसि बृहस्पते महि तत्ते महित्वनम्
With righteous guidance you lead and protect the people; whoever serves you, let him not encounter harm; you burn with wrath against haters of prayer; O Bṛhaspati, your greatness is truly great.
न तमंहो न दुरितं कुतश्चन नारातयस्तितिरुर्न द्वयाविनः । विश्वा इदस्माद्ध्वरसो वि बाधसे यं सुगोपा रक्षसि ब्रह्मणस्पते
No harm, no evil, nor any enemy, nor those who act with duplicity, can overcome him; you drive away all dangers from such a one, O Brahmaṇaspati, whom you, as a good guardian, protect.
त्वं नो गोपाः पथिकृद्विचक्षणस्तव व्रताय मतिभिर्जरामहे । बृहस्पते यो नो अभि ह्वरो दधे स्वा तं मर्मर्तु दुच्छुना हरस्वती
You are our guardian, path-maker, and wise guide; we grow old in devotion to your law; O Bṛhaspati, may whatever malice is directed against us be shattered by your swift and powerful force.
उत वा यो नो मर्चयादनागसोऽरातीवा मर्तः सानुको वृकः । बृहस्पते अप तं वर्तया पथः सुगं नो अस्यै देववीतये कृधि
And if any mortal, with his kin, should harm us without cause, whether an enemy or a wolf in human form, O Bṛhaspati, turn him away from our path; make our way easy for this divine favor.
त्रातारं त्वा तनूनां हवामहेऽवस्पर्तरधिवक्तारमस्मयुम् । बृहस्पते देवनिदो नि बर्हय मा दुरेवा उत्तरं सुम्नमुन्नशन्
We call upon you as the protector of our bodies, the helper, the advocate who brings us strength; O Bṛhaspati, cast down the godless, do not let evil prevail, raise up for us the highest blessing.
त्वया वयं सुवृधा ब्रह्मणस्पते स्पार्हा वसु मनुष्या ददीमहि । या नो दूरे तळितो या अरातयोऽभि सन्ति जम्भया ता अनप्नसः
With you, O Brahmaṇaspati, we, enriched, may obtain precious gifts among men; whatever dangers or enemies are far or near, strike them down, render them powerless.
