इन्द्रापर्वता बृहता रथेन वामीरिष आ वहतं सुवीराः । वीतं हव्यान्यध्वरेषु देवा वर्धेथां गीर्भिरिळया मदन्ता
Indra and Parvata, come with your great chariot, bringing us prosperity, O mighty ones; accept the offerings at the sacrifices, O gods, and grow with our songs, rejoicing in praise.
तिष्ठा सु कं मघवन्मा परा गाः सोमस्य नु त्वा सुषुतस्य यक्षि । पितुर्न पुत्रः सिचमा रभे त इन्द्र स्वादिष्ठया गिरा शचीवः
Stand firm, O generous one, do not go away; now enjoy the well-pressed soma; like a son clings to his father, so I grasp you, Indra, with the sweetest praise, O powerful one.
शंसावाध्वर्यो प्रति मे गृणीहीन्द्राय वाहः कृणवाव जुष्टम् । एदं बर्हिर्यजमानस्य सीदाथा च भूदुक्थमिन्द्राय शस्तम्
O Adhvaryu, proclaim and recite for me; let us make a pleasing offering for Indra; sit on this sacred grass of the sacrificer, and may the best praise be for Indra.
जायेदस्तं मघवन्सेदु योनिस्तदित्त्वा युक्ता हरयो वहन्तु । यदा कदा च सुनवाम सोममग्निष्ट्वा दूतो धन्वात्यच्छ
Let the generous one be born at the evening, let him reach his place; then let your yoked steeds carry you, Indra; whenever we may press the soma, Agni, as the messenger, will bring you straight here.
परा याहि मघवन्ना च याहीन्द्र भ्रातरुभयत्रा ते अर्थम् । यत्रा रथस्य बृहतो निधानं विमोचनं वाजिनो रासभस्य
Go forth, O generous one, or come hither, Indra, as you wish, for your benefit is on both sides; where the great chariot's treasure is, the release of the swift steed and the ass.
अपाः सोममस्तमिन्द्र प्र याहि कल्याणीर्जाया सुरणं गृहे ते । यत्रा रथस्य बृहतो निधानं विमोचनं वाजिनो दक्षिणावत्
Go to the west, Indra, to drink the soma; let your noble wives rejoice in your house; where the great chariot's treasure is, the release of the swift steed with the reward.
इमे भोजा अङ्गिरसो विरूपा दिवस्पुत्रासो असुरस्य वीराः । विश्वामित्राय ददतो मघानि सहस्रसावे प्र तिरन्त आयुः
These givers, the Angirases, of varied forms, sons of heaven, heroes of the mighty one, have given riches to Viśvāmitra; for the thousandfold offering, they have prolonged his life.
रूपंरूपं मघवा बोभवीति मायाः कृण्वानस्तन्वं परि स्वाम् । त्रिर्यद्दिवः परि मुहूर्तमागात्स्वैर्मन्त्रैरनृतुपा ऋतावा
In every form, the generous one appears, creating wonders, shaping his own body; when he came three times in a day from the sky, with his own spells, keeping the seasons, true to order.
महाँ ऋषिर्देवजा देवजूतोऽस्तभ्नात्सिन्धुमर्णवं नृचक्षाः । विश्वामित्रो यदवहत्सुदासमप्रियायत कुशिकेभिरिन्द्रः
The great seer, born of the gods, inspired by the gods, held back the river and the ocean, seeing with human eyes; when Viśvāmitra led Sudās, Indra became gracious to the Kuśikas.
हंसा इव कृणुथ श्लोकमद्रिभिर्मदन्तो गीर्भिरध्वरे सुते सचा । देवेभिर्विप्रा ऋषयो नृचक्षसो वि पिबध्वं कुशिकाः सोम्यं मधु
Like swans, compose a hymn with the stones, rejoicing with songs at the sacrifice, together with the pressed Soma. O wise ones, seers with human sight, drink the Soma nectar, O Kuśikas, with the gods.
उप प्रेत कुशिकाश्चेतयध्वमश्वं राये प्र मुञ्चता सुदासः । राजा वृत्रं जङ्घनत्प्रागपागुदगथा यजाते वर आ पृथिव्याः
Come near, O Kuśikas, be attentive; release the horse for wealth, grant it to Sudās. The king has crushed Vṛtra; he worships in the east and west, the best across the earth.
य इमे रोदसी उभे अहमिन्द्रमतुष्टवम् । विश्वामित्रस्य रक्षति ब्रह्मेदं भारतं जनम्
He who has satisfied both these worlds, heaven and earth, I have praised Indra. The prayer of Viśvāmitra protects this Bhārata people.
विश्वामित्रा अरासत ब्रह्मेन्द्राय वज्रिणे । करदिन्नः सुराधसः
The Viśvāmitras have offered prayers to Indra, the wielder of the thunderbolt; may he grant us abundant gifts.
किं ते कृण्वन्ति कीकटेषु गावो नाशिरं दुह्रे न तपन्ति घर्मम् । आ नो भर प्रमगन्दस्य वेदो नैचाशाखं मघवन्रन्धया नः
What are your cows doing among the Kīkaṭas? They do not yield milk, nor do they feel the heat. Bring us the wisdom of Pramaganda; O generous one, break the low branch for us.
ससर्परीरमतिं बाधमाना बृहन्मिमाय जमदग्निदत्ता । आ सूर्यस्य दुहिता ततान श्रवो देवेष्वमृतमजुर्यम्
The serpent-like thought, resisting, grew vast, given by Jamadagni. The daughter of the sun spread forth immortal, undecaying fame among the gods.
ससर्परीरभरत्तूयमेभ्योऽधि श्रवः पाञ्चजन्यासु कृष्टिषु । सा पक्ष्या नव्यमायुर्दधाना यां मे पलस्तिजमदग्नयो ददुः
The serpent-like fame has arisen among these, spreading glory among the peoples of Pañcajana. That winged one, bearing new life, which Palastya and the Jamadagnis gave to me.
स्थिरौ गावौ भवतां वीळुरक्षो मेषा वि वर्हि मा युगं वि शारि । इन्द्रः पातल्ये ददतां शरीतोररिष्टनेमे अभि नः सचस्व
Let the two cows be firm, let the sheep be unharmed; do not yoke the yoke to the grass, nor to the plough. May Indra grant protection in Pātalya; let him ward off harm, join with us.
बलं धेहि तनूषु नो बलमिन्द्रानळुत्सु नः । बलं तोकाय तनयाय जीवसे त्वं हि बलदा असि
Place strength in our bodies, O Indra, strength in our deeds. Strength for our children, for our offspring, for life; for you are the giver of strength.
अभि व्ययस्व खदिरस्य सारमोजो धेहि स्पन्दने शिंशपायाम् । अक्ष वीळो वीळित वीळयस्व मा यामादस्मादव जीहिपो नः
Spread out the essence of the khadira tree, place vigor in the trembling śiṃśapā. O axle, be firm, be strengthened, be steady; do not depart from us, drive away harm.
अयमस्मान्वनस्पतिर्मा च हा मा च रीरिषत् । स्वस्त्या गृहेभ्य आवसा आ विमोचनात्
This forest tree is ours; let it neither harm nor injure us. With prosperity, let it dwell in our homes, and at release.
इन्द्रोतिभिर्बहुलाभिर्नो अद्य याच्छ्रेष्ठाभिर्मघवञ्छूर जिन्व । यो नो द्वेष्ट्यधरः सस्पदीष्ट यमु द्विष्मस्तमु प्राणो जहातु
Indra, with abundant and excellent companions, today grant us the best, O mighty one, conqueror. Whoever hates us, let him be defeated; whom we hate, let our breath abandon him.
परशुं चिद्वि तपति शिम्बलं चिद्वि वृश्चति । उखा चिदिन्द्र येषन्ती प्रयस्ता फेनमस्यति
Even the axe burns, even the knife cuts; even the oven, when kindled, foams up its contents, O Indra.
न सायकस्य चिकिते जनासो लोधं नयन्ति पशु मन्यमानाः । नावाजिनं वाजिना हासयन्ति न गर्दभं पुरो अश्वान्नयन्ति
People do not notice the arrow; thinking themselves clever, they lead the cattle astray. They do not drive the swift horse with the swift, nor do they lead the donkey ahead of the horses.
इम इन्द्र भरतस्य पुत्रा अपपित्वं चिकितुर्न प्रपित्वम् । हिन्वन्त्यश्वमरणं न नित्यं ज्यावाजं परि णयन्त्याजौ
These sons of Bharata, O Indra, know not the fatherhood, nor the grandfatherhood. They harness the horse for death, not for permanence; they lead the bow-fitted horse around in battle.
इमं महे विदथ्याय शूषं शश्वत्कृत्व ईड्याय प्र जभ्रुः । शृणोतु नो दम्येभिरनीकैः शृणोत्वग्निर्दिव्यैरजस्रः
This hymn, made for the great, for knowledge, always created for praise, they have taken up. May the noble hosts hear us; may Agni, eternal in the heavens, hear.
महि महे दिवे अर्चा पृथिव्यै कामो म इच्छञ्चरति प्रजानन् । ययोर्ह स्तोमे विदथेषु देवाः सपर्यवो मादयन्ते सचायोः
Sing greatly for the great, for heaven; for earth, desire moves within me, knowing. In whose praise, at the rites, the gods delight together with their companions.
युवोरृतं रोदसी सत्यमस्तु महे षु णः सुविताय प्र भूतम् । इदं दिवे नमो अग्ने पृथिव्यै सपर्यामि प्रयसा यामि रत्नम्
May the truth of you two, heaven and earth, be firm; let it bring us great prosperity. This is my homage to heaven, O Agni, and to earth; I worship, I go seeking the treasure.
उतो हि वां पूर्व्या आविविद्र ऋतावरी रोदसी सत्यवाचः । नरश्चिद्वां समिथे शूरसातौ ववन्दिरे पृथिवि वेविदानाः
Indeed, your ancient, truth-upholding heavens have expanded, you who speak what is true; even men, in the assembly and in the contest for glory, have honored you, O earth, with manifold knowledge.
को अद्धा वेद क इह प्र वोचद्देवाँ अच्छा पथ्या का समेति । ददृश्र एषामवमा सदांसि परेषु या गुह्येषु व्रतेषु
Who truly knows, who here can declare, to which of the gods the right path leads? Among them, the lowest seats are seen, and those who are far, in the secret rites, in the hidden vows.
कविर्नृचक्षा अभि षीमचष्ट ऋतस्य योना विघृते मदन्ती । नाना चक्राते सदनं यथा वेः समानेन क्रतुना संविदाने
The sage with human sight has beheld her, rejoicing in the womb of truth, spread out; they have made diverse abodes, as the weaver does, united in intention, in mutual understanding.
