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.
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.
वार्त्रहत्याय शवसे पृतनाषाह्याय च । इन्द्र त्वा वर्तयामसि
For the slaying of the foe and for overcoming in battle, Indra, we set you in motion.
अर्वाचीनं सु ते मन उत चक्षुः शतक्रतो । इन्द्र कृण्वन्तु वाघतः
Let your mind and sight be turned toward us, O Indra of a hundred powers; let the prayers make you favorable.
नामानि ते शतक्रतो विश्वाभिर्गीर्भिरीमहे । इन्द्राभिमातिषाह्ये
We invoke all your names, O Indra of a hundred powers, with every hymn, for overcoming the adversary.
पुरुष्टुतस्य धामभिः शतेन महयामसि । इन्द्रस्य चर्षणीधृतः
With a hundred powers of the much-praised one, we magnify Indra, the supporter of the peoples.
इन्द्रं वृत्राय हन्तवे पुरुहूतमुप ब्रुवे । भरेषु वाजसातये
I call upon Indra, much-invoked, to slay the Vṛtra, for the gaining of strength in battles.
वाजेषु सासहिर्भव त्वामीमहे शतक्रतो । इन्द्र वृत्राय हन्तवे
Be victorious in contests, O hundred-powered one; we seek you, Indra, to slay the Vṛtra.
द्युम्नेषु पृतनाज्ये पृत्सुतूर्षु श्रवस्सु च । इन्द्र साक्ष्वाभिमातिषु
In glories, in the rush of battle, in contests for prizes and for fame, O Indra, be present in the struggles.
शुष्मिन्तमं न ऊतये द्युम्निनं पाहि जागृविम् । इन्द्र सोमं शतक्रतो
Protect the most invigorating, the glorious Soma for our help, O Indra, hundred-powered, ever-watchful.
इन्द्रियाणि शतक्रतो या ते जनेषु पञ्चसु । इन्द्र तानि त आ वृणे
The powers, O hundred-powered Indra, which are yours among the five peoples—those, Indra, I choose for you.
अगन्निन्द्र श्रवो बृहद्द्युम्नं दधिष्व दुष्टरम् । उत्ते शुष्मं तिरामसि
Indra, gain great fame; establish unconquerable glory; with your strength, overcome your foes.
अर्वावतो न आ गह्यथो शक्र परावतः । उ लोको यस्ते अद्रिव इन्द्रेह तत आ गहि
Come to us from near or far, O mighty one; wherever your dwelling is, O stone-armed Indra, come here.
अभि तष्टेव दीधया मनीषामत्यो न वाजी सुधुरो जिहानः । अभि प्रियाणि मर्मृशत्पराणि कवीँरिच्छामि संदृशे सुमेधाः
Like a craftsman with shining skill, the inspired one, strong as a well-yoked steed, advances; the wise, with clear vision, seek out the beloved and distant things.
इनोत पृच्छ जनिमा कवीनां मनोधृतः सुकृतस्तक्षत द्याम् । इमा उ ते प्रण्यो वर्धमाना मनोवाता अध नु धर्मणि ग्मन्
Now I ask about the origins of the sages, those upheld by mind, who skillfully fashioned the sky; these growing praises of yours, driven by thought, indeed move in the path of law.
नि षीमिदत्र गुह्या दधाना उत क्षत्राय रोदसी समञ्जन् । सं मात्राभिर्ममिरे येमुरुर्वी अन्तर्मही समृते धायसे धुः
Here they have placed the hidden things, and for sovereignty they have joined earth and heaven; with their measures they have encompassed, and the vast and wide ones have set themselves for the act of sustaining.
आतिष्ठन्तं परि विश्वे अभूषञ्छ्रियो वसानश्चरति स्वरोचिः । महत्तद्वृष्णो असुरस्य नामा विश्वरूपो अमृतानि तस्थौ
All adorned him as he stood forth, clothed in splendor, moving with radiant light; that is the great name of the mighty Asura—he, of manifold forms, stood among the immortals.
असूत पूर्वो वृषभो ज्यायानिमा अस्य शुरुधः सन्ति पूर्वीः । दिवो नपाता विदथस्य धीभिः क्षत्रं राजाना प्रदिवो दधाथे
The earlier bull begot the greater one; many are his wise thoughts from before; the sons of heaven, with wisdom at the assembly, you kings, have established dominion from the highest heaven.
त्रीणि राजाना विदथे पुरूणि परि विश्वानि भूषथः सदांसि । अपश्यमत्र मनसा जगन्वान्व्रते गन्धर्वाँ अपि वायुकेशान्
Three kings at the assembly, in many places, you have adorned all seats; here, moving with mind, they saw the Gandharvas in their vow, with wind-blown hair.
तदिन्न्वस्य वृषभस्य धेनोरा नामभिर्ममिरे सक्म्यं गोः । अन्यदन्यदसुर्यं वसाना नि मायिनो ममिरे रूपमस्मिन्
This, indeed, is the work of the bull and the cow; by their names they measured the course of the cow; each one, wearing different divine power, the magicians have measured out forms in this one.
तदिन्न्वस्य सवितुर्नकिर्मे हिरण्ययीममतिं यामशिश्रेत् । आ सुष्टुती रोदसी विश्वमिन्वे अपीव योषा जनिमानि वव्रे
This, indeed, is the work of Savitar; I do not desire the golden wisdom he would bestow; through excellent praise, earth and heaven, all, he pervades—the maiden has chosen her births.
युवं प्रत्नस्य साधथो महो यद्दैवी स्वस्तिः परि णः स्यातम् । गोपाजिह्वस्य तस्थुषो विरूपा विश्वे पश्यन्ति मायिनः कृतानि
You accomplish the ancient, great work, so that divine welfare may be around us; all see the varied deeds of the magician, of the one standing with the tongue of a cow.
