इन्द्रः स्वर्षा जनयन्नहानि जिगायोशिग्भिः पृतना अभिष्टिः । प्रारोचयन्मनवे केतुमह्नामविन्दज्ज्योतिर्बृहते रणाय
Indra, shining, brought forth the days, conquering with his weapons the hostile armies. He made manifest the sign for Manu, the mighty, and found light for the great battle.
इन्द्रस्तुजो बर्हणा आ विवेश नृवद्दधानो नर्या पुरूणि । अचेतयद्धिय इमा जरित्रे प्रेमं वर्णमतिरच्छुक्रमासाम्
Indra entered the praises and the offerings, establishing many heroic deeds for men. He awakened these thoughts for the worshipper, and bestowed the radiant, pure form upon them.
महो महानि पनयन्त्यस्येन्द्रस्य कर्म सुकृता पुरूणि । वृजनेन वृजिनान्सं पिपेष मायाभिर्दस्यूँरभिभूत्योजाः
The great deeds of mighty Indra are many and splendid; his works are abundant. By force he crushed the wicked, and with his power overcame the tricksters and hostile ones.
युधेन्द्रो मह्ना वरिवश्चकार देवेभ्यः सत्पतिश्चर्षणिप्राः । विवस्वतः सदने अस्य तानि विप्रा उक्थेभिः कवयो गृणन्ति
Indra, in battle, by his greatness, made a path for the gods, the true lord, protector of people. In the house of Vivasvat, the sages praise those deeds with hymns and songs.
सत्रासाहं वरेण्यं सहोदां ससवांसं स्वरपश्च देवीः । ससान यः पृथिवीं द्यामुतेमामिन्द्रं मदन्त्यनु धीरणासः
The mighty, worthy Indra, the companion in strength, the lord of light, has subdued the earth and the heavens; the wise, inspired, rejoice in Indra.
ससानात्याँ उत सूर्यं ससानेन्द्रः ससान पुरुभोजसं गाम् । हिरण्ययमुत भोगं ससान हत्वी दस्यून्प्रार्यं वर्णमावत्
He subdued the waters, and also the sun; Indra subdued the cow, the giver of much enjoyment. He subdued the golden wealth, and after slaying the enemies, brought forth the noble form.
इन्द्र ओषधीरसनोदहानि वनस्पतीँरसनोदन्तरिक्षम् । बिभेद वलं नुनुदे विवाचोऽथाभवद्दमिताभिक्रतूनाम्
Indra stirred the plants and the days, stirred the trees and the midspace. He broke the barrier, released the speech; thus he became the restrainer of the arrogant.
शुनं हुवेम मघवानमिन्द्रमस्मिन्भरे नृतमं वाजसातौ । शृण्वन्तमुग्रमूतये समत्सु घ्नन्तं वृत्राणि संजितं धनानाम्
Let us call upon Indra, the generous, the best among men, in this battle for the prize. May he, fierce, listening for aid in the conflicts, slay the foes and win the wealth.
तिष्ठा हरी रथ आ युज्यमाना याहि वायुर्न नियुतो नो अच्छ । पिबास्यन्धो अभिसृष्टो अस्मे इन्द्र स्वाहा ररिमा ते मदाय
Stand ready, horses, yoked to the chariot; come as the wind, bringing us near. Drink the pressed Soma offered here, Indra, with the cry of 'svaha', for our delight.
उपाजिरा पुरुहूताय सप्ती हरी रथस्य धूर्ष्वा युनज्मि । द्रवद्यथा सम्भृतं विश्वतश्चिदुपेमं यज्ञमा वहात इन्द्रम्
I harness the swift horses to the chariot for the much-invoked one; let them run, gathering from all sides, and bring Indra to this sacrifice.
उपो नयस्व वृषणा तपुष्पोतेमव त्वं वृषभ स्वधावः । ग्रसेतामश्वा वि मुचेह शोणा दिवेदिवे सदृशीरद्धि धानाः
Lead the strong, radiant horses here; you, mighty one, are self-sustaining. Let the red steeds graze and be released; day by day, their actions are ever alike.
ब्रह्मणा ते ब्रह्मयुजा युनज्मि हरी सखाया सधमाद आशू । स्थिरं रथं सुखमिन्द्राधितिष्ठन्प्रजानन्विद्वाँ उप याहि सोमम्
With prayer, I yoke your prayer-guided horses, companions at the shared feast, swift. Mount the firm, pleasant chariot, Indra, knowing and wise, and come to the Soma.
मा ते हरी वृषणा वीतपृष्ठा नि रीरमन्यजमानासो अन्ये । अत्यायाहि शश्वतो वयं तेऽरं सुतेभिः कृणवाम सोमैः
Let not your strong, broad-backed horses be held back by other worshippers. Come swiftly; may we always bring you delight with the pressed Somas.
तवायं सोमस्त्वमेह्यर्वाङ्छश्वत्तमं सुमना अस्य पाहि । अस्मिन्यज्ञे बर्हिष्या निषद्या दधिष्वेमं जठर इन्दुमिन्द्र
This Soma is for you; come near, Indra, most knowing, with a good mind, and drink. In this sacrifice, seated on the sacred grass, place this pressed juice in your belly.
स्तीर्णं ते बर्हिः सुत इन्द्र सोमः कृता धाना अत्तवे ते हरिभ्याम् । तदोकसे पुरुशाकाय वृष्णे मरुत्वते तुभ्यं राता हवींषि
The sacred grass is spread for you, Indra; the Soma is pressed. The offerings are prepared for you and your horses. To you, mighty, many-formed, accompanied by the Maruts, these oblations are given.
इमं नरः पर्वतास्तुभ्यमापः समिन्द्र गोभिर्मधुमन्तमक्रन् । तस्यागत्या सुमना ऋष्व पाहि प्रजानन्विद्वान्पथ्या अनु स्वाः
O men, for you the waters have approached the mountains; with Indra, they have made the honeyed milk with cows. With his coming, O lofty one, guard us graciously, knowing and wise, following the proper paths.
याँ आभजो मरुत इन्द्र सोमे ये त्वामवर्धन्नभवन्गणस्ते । तेभिरेतं सजोषा वावशानोऽग्नेः पिब जिह्वया सोममिन्द्र
Those who, O Indra, Maruts, and Soma, have strengthened you, who became your companions—together with them, eager, drink this Soma with Agni's tongue, O Indra.
इन्द्र पिब स्वधया चित्सुतस्याग्नेर्वा पाहि जिह्वया यजत्र । अध्वर्योर्वा प्रयतं शक्र हस्ताद्धोतुर्वा यज्ञं हविषो जुषस्व
Indra, drink with delight the pressed Soma, or drink it with Agni's tongue, O worthy of worship; or accept the sacrifice from the hands of the priest, O mighty one, or from the hotar, enjoy the offerings of the ritual.
शुनं हुवेम मघवानमिन्द्रमस्मिन्भरे नृतमं वाजसातौ । शृण्वन्तमुग्रमूतये समत्सु घ्नन्तं वृत्राणि संजितं धनानाम्
Let us call upon Indra, the generous, in this contest, the foremost among men in winning prizes; the mighty one who listens for help in battles, who slays the foes, who conquers wealth.
इमामू षु प्रभृतिं सातये धाः शश्वच्छश्वदूतिभिर्यादमानः । सुतेसुते वावृधे वर्धनेभिर्यः कर्मभिर्महद्भिः सुश्रुतो भूत्
Set forth this offering for gain, always, always striving with messengers; he has grown strong in every pressing, with acts of greatness, he has become renowned.
इन्द्राय सोमाः प्रदिवो विदाना ऋभुर्येभिर्वृषपर्वा विहायाः । प्रयम्यमानान्प्रति षू गृभायेन्द्र पिब वृषधूतस्य वृष्णः
For Indra, the Soma juices are pressed from the sky, with which the mighty ones ascend; as they are being poured out, seize them, Indra, drink the Soma stirred by the bull.
पिबा वर्धस्व तव घा सुतास इन्द्र सोमासः प्रथमा उतेमे । यथापिबः पूर्व्याँ इन्द्र सोमाँ एवा पाहि पन्यो अद्या नवीयान्
Drink and grow, for your sake these Somas are pressed, O Indra; these are the first, indeed. As you drank the earlier Somas, so drink today the newest, O praised one.
महाँ अमत्रो वृजने विरप्श्युग्रं शवः पत्यते धृष्ण्वोजः । नाह विव्याच पृथिवी चनैनं यत्सोमासो हर्यश्वममन्दन्
The great, measureless one, in the gathering, his fierce might rules with bold strength; not even the earth could contain him, when the Somas delighted the horse-loving one.
महाँ उग्रो वावृधे वीर्याय समाचक्रे वृषभः काव्येन । इन्द्रो भगो वाजदा अस्य गावः प्र जायन्ते दक्षिणा अस्य पूर्वीः
The great, fierce one has grown for heroism, the bull has accomplished with wisdom; Indra, the giver of wealth, from him cows are born, his gifts are abundant and ancient.
प्र यत्सिन्धवः प्रसवं यथायन्नापः समुद्रं रथ्येव जग्मुः । अतश्चिदिन्द्रः सदसो वरीयान्यदीं सोमः पृणति दुग्धो अंशुः
When the rivers move forth with their flow, the waters go to the ocean as if on a chariot; from this, Indra is greater than the assembly, when Soma fills, the pressed juice nourishes.
समुद्रेण सिन्धवो यादमाना इन्द्राय सोमं सुषुतं भरन्तः । अंशुं दुहन्ति हस्तिनो भरित्रैर्मध्वः पुनन्ति धारया पवित्रैः
The rivers, moving together with the ocean, bring the well-pressed Soma to Indra; the Soma is milked by the hands of the elephants, purified by the honey and filtered through sieves.
ह्रदा इव कुक्षयः सोमधानाः समी विव्याच सवना पुरूणि । अन्ना यदिन्द्रः प्रथमा व्याश वृत्रं जघन्वाँ अवृणीत सोमम्
Like lakes, the vessels hold the Soma, many gatherings spread forth; when Indra first divided the food, he slew the serpent and chose the Soma.
आ तू भर माकिरेतत्परि ष्ठाद्विद्मा हि त्वा वसुपतिं वसूनाम् । इन्द्र यत्ते माहिनं दत्रमस्त्यस्मभ्यं तद्धर्यश्व प्र यन्धि
Bring it here, let nothing be left behind; for we know you, Indra, as the lord of wealth among the rich. O horse-loving Indra, send to us that mighty gift which is yours.
अस्मे प्र यन्धि मघवन्नृजीषिन्निन्द्र रायो विश्ववारस्य भूरेः । अस्मे शतं शरदो जीवसे धा अस्मे वीराञ्छश्वत इन्द्र शिप्रिन्
Send to us, O generous, victorious Indra, the abundant wealth of all kinds; grant us a hundred autumns to live, grant us heroes, O Indra, with the tuft.

Let us call upon Indra, the generous, in this contest, the foremost among men in winning prizes; the mighty one who listens for help in battles, who slays the foes, who conquers wealth.
