अस्य घा वीर ईवतोऽग्नेरीशीत मर्त्यः । तिग्मजम्भस्य मीळ्हुषः
Indeed, the mortal who desires strength is governed by this Agni, fierce-jawed and generous.
तमर्वन्तं न सानसिमरुषं न दिवः शिशुम् । मर्मृज्यन्ते दिवेदिवे
That swift one, like a racer, like a red child of heaven, is revered day by day.
बोधद्यन्मा हरिभ्यां कुमारः साहदेव्यः । अच्छा न हूत उदरम्
When the son of Sahadeva awakens with the two bays, he calls us to the offering.
उत त्या यजता हरी कुमारात्साहदेव्यात् । प्रयता सद्य आ ददे
And those two worshipful bays, from the son of Sahadeva, are harnessed and come forth at once.
एष वां देवावश्विना कुमारः साहदेव्यः । दीर्घायुरस्तु सोमकः
This son of Sahadeva, O divine Ashvins, is Somaka; may he have a long life.
तं युवं देवावश्विना कुमारं साहदेव्यम् । दीर्घायुषं कृणोतन
You two, O divine Ashvins, make the son of Sahadeva long-lived.
आ सत्यो यातु मघवाँ ऋजीषी द्रवन्त्वस्य हरय उप नः । तस्मा इदन्धः सुषुमा सुदक्षमिहाभिपित्वं करते गृणानः
Let the truthful Maghavan come, eager, let his steeds run swiftly to us; for him, O Indra, we offer this drink with delight, skillfully, seeking your favor as we praise.
अव स्य शूराध्वनो नान्तेऽस्मिन्नो अद्य सवने मन्दध्यै । शंसात्युक्थमुशनेव वेधाश्चिकितुषे असुर्याय मन्म
Let the heroes descend at the end of the path, today, at this sacrifice, to rejoice; the wise one proclaims the hymn, like Ushana, for the lordship, for the knowing Asura.
कविर्न निण्यं विदथानि साधन्वृषा यत्सेकं विपिपानो अर्चात् । दिव इत्था जीजनत्सप्त कारूनह्ना चिच्चक्रुर्वयुना गृणन्तः
Like a sage, he knows the hidden things and accomplishes the rites; the mighty one, thirsting, sings praises; thus, he created seven singers, even by night, they made skillful acts as they praised.
स्वर्यद्वेदि सुदृशीकमर्कैर्महि ज्योती रुरुचुर्यद्ध वस्तोः । अन्धा तमांसि दुधिता विचक्षे नृभ्यश्चकार नृतमो अभिष्टौ
Radiant as the sun, beautiful to behold with hymns, he shone with great light when he was born; he dispelled darkness and saw clearly, he made men most heroic in their striving.
ववक्ष इन्द्रो अमितमृजीष्युभे आ पप्रौ रोदसी महित्वा । अतश्चिदस्य महिमा वि रेच्यभि यो विश्वा भुवना बभूव
Indra, mighty and eager, has grown vast, he has filled both heaven and earth with greatness; from this, his majesty spreads out, for he has become all the worlds.
विश्वानि शक्रो नर्याणि विद्वानपो रिरेच सखिभिर्निकामैः । अश्मानं चिद्ये बिभिदुर्वचोभिर्व्रजं गोमन्तमुशिजो वि वव्रुः
Shakra, knowing all heroic deeds, has distributed waters with his companions, by his will; even stones they broke with words, the Ushijas released the cattle rich in milk.
अपो वृत्रं वव्रिवांसं पराहन्प्रावत्ते वज्रं पृथिवी सचेताः । प्रार्णांसि समुद्रियाण्यैनोः पतिर्भवञ्छवसा शूर धृष्णो
He drove away Vritra, who held back the waters, he wielded the thunderbolt, and earth was conscious; he released the streams and oceans, O strong hero, you became lord by your might.
अपो यदद्रिं पुरुहूत दर्दराविर्भुवत्सरमा पूर्व्यं ते । स नो नेता वाजमा दर्षि भूरिं गोत्रा रुजन्नङ्गिरोभिर्गृणानः
When, O much-invoked, you shattered the rock, the ancient Sarama appeared for you; be our leader, you see abundant wealth, breaking the enclosures with the Angiras as we praise.
अच्छा कविं नृमणो गा अभिष्टौ स्वर्षाता मघवन्नाधमानम् । ऊतिभिस्तमिषणो द्युम्नहूतौ नि मायावानब्रह्मा दस्युरर्त
Approach the sage, O Maghavan, with men, in striving, shining, not low; with your aids, grant him strength in the call, let not the crafty, unholy Dasyu harm us.
आ दस्युघ्ना मनसा याह्यस्तं भुवत्ते कुत्सः सख्ये निकामः । स्वे योनौ नि षदतं सरूपा वि वां चिकित्सदृतचिद्ध नारी
Come, destroyer of Dasyus, with your mind, to that place; let Kutsa be your companion in friendship; sit in your own abode, in your true form, let the wise woman discern your nature.
यासि कुत्सेन सरथमवस्युस्तोदो वातस्य हर्योरीशानः । ऋज्रा वाजं न गध्यं युयूषन्कविर्यदहन्पार्याय भूषात्
You go with Kutsa, sharing the chariot, O helper, as the lord of the two bay steeds of the wind; seeking to win the prize, swift as thought, when you, O wise one, blazing, adorned the wide spaces.
कुत्साय शुष्णमशुषं नि बर्हीः प्रपित्वे अह्नः कुयवं सहस्रा । सद्यो दस्यून्प्र मृण कुत्स्येन प्र सूरश्चक्रं वृहतादभीके
For Kutsa, you cast down Śuṣṇa, the parched one, from his seat, the ancient foe, the thousandfold Kuyava; at once you destroyed the Dasyus with Kutsa, and the sun made the great wheel appear in the distance.
त्वं पिप्रुं मृगयं शूशुवांसमृजिश्वने वैदथिनाय रन्धीः । पञ्चाशत्कृष्णा नि वपः सहस्रात्कं न पुरो जरिमा वि दर्दः
You struck down Pipru, the roaring beast, for Ṛjiśvan, for Vaidathina; you cast down fifty black fortresses from the thousand, as age shatters cities.
सूर उपाके तन्वं दधानो वि यत्ते चेत्यमृतस्य वर्पः । मृगो न हस्ती तविषीमुषाणः सिंहो न भीम आयुधानि बिभ्रत्
Clothed in the form of the sun at dawn, you bear the visible form of immortality; like a wild beast, an elephant, seizing strength, like a lion, fearsome, bearing weapons.
इन्द्रं कामा वसूयन्तो अग्मन्स्वर्मीळ्हे न सवने चकानाः । श्रवस्यवः शशमानास उक्थैरोको न रण्वा सुदृशीव पुष्टिः
Desiring wealth, they came to Indra, delighting in the well-praised, as at the soma-offering; longing for glory, rejoicing in hymns, like a splendid, well-seen abundance.
तमिद्व इन्द्रं सुहवं हुवेम यस्ता चकार नर्या पुरूणि । यो मावते जरित्रे गध्यं चिन्मक्षू वाजं भरति स्पार्हराधाः
We call upon that Indra, easy to invoke, who has accomplished many heroic deeds; who, for the worshipper, brings the prize swiftly, with wondrous aid.
तिग्मा यदन्तरशनिः पताति कस्मिञ्चिच्छूर मुहुके जनानाम् । घोरा यदर्य समृतिर्भवात्यध स्मा नस्तन्वो बोधि गोपाः
When your sharp thunderbolt falls among people, O hero, in some gathering, when your fierce wrath arises against the foe, then, O guardian, be mindful of our bodies.
भुवोऽविता वामदेवस्य धीनां भुवः सखावृको वाजसातौ । त्वामनु प्रमतिमा जगन्मोरुशंसो जरित्रे विश्वध स्याः
You have become the protector of Vāmadeva's prayers, you are the friend, the wolf, in the contest for the prize; all our thoughts follow you, O widely-praised one, may you be universal aid for the worshipper.
एभिर्नृभिरिन्द्र त्वायुभिष्ट्वा मघवद्भिर्मघवन्विश्व आजौ । द्यावो न द्युम्नैरभि सन्तो अर्यः क्षपो मदेम शरदश्च पूर्वीः
With these men, O Indra, with your companions, O bountiful one, may we prevail in every contest; like the heavens with their splendors, may the noble ones support us, may we rejoice in the nights and many autumns.
एवेदिन्द्राय वृषभाय वृष्णे ब्रह्माकर्म भृगवो न रथम् । नू चिद्यथा नः सख्या वियोषदसन्न उग्रोऽविता तनूपाः
To this Indra, the bull, the mighty, is the hymn, as the Bhṛgus to their chariot; now, as before, may you not abandon our friendship, O strong one, guardian of our bodies.
नू ष्टुत इन्द्र नू गृणान इषं जरित्रे नद्यो न पीपेः । अकारि ते हरिवो ब्रह्म नव्यं धिया स्याम रथ्यः सदासाः
Now praised, now lauded, O Indra, may you pour forth sustenance for the worshipper, as rivers do; a new hymn has been composed for you, O wielder of the bays, may we, with insight, be ever your charioteers.
त्वं महाँ इन्द्र तुभ्यं ह क्षा अनु क्षत्रं मंहना मन्यत द्यौः । त्वं वृत्रं शवसा जघन्वान्त्सृजः सिन्धूँरहिना जग्रसानान्
You are great, O Indra; for you, indeed, the earth and sky, by your might, consider your power supreme; you slew Vṛtra with your strength, you released the rivers, you devoured the coiled ones.
तव त्विषो जनिमन्रेजत द्यौ रेजद्भूमिर्भियसा स्वस्य मन्योः । ऋघायन्त सुभ्वः पर्वतास आर्दन्धन्वानि सरयन्त आपः
At your birth, the sky trembled with your force, the earth trembled with fear of your own might; the mountains shook, the fair hills quaked, the valleys split, and the waters rushed forth.
भिनद्गिरिं शवसा वज्रमिष्णन्नाविष्कृण्वानः सहसान ओजः । वधीद्वृत्रं वज्रेण मन्दसानः सरन्नापो जवसा हतवृष्णीः
You split the mountain with your strength, wielding the thunderbolt, revealing the hidden, with your power; you slew Vṛtra with the thunderbolt, delighting, the waters rushed swiftly, their strength destroyed.
