प्र ते पूर्वाणि करणानि विप्राविद्वाँ आह विदुषे करांसि । यथायथा वृष्ण्यानि स्वगूर्तापांसि राजन्नर्याविवेषीः
The wise have spoken to you of your former deeds, O knower, recounting your works to the one who understands; just as, O King, you have entered into acts of strength and your own renowned exploits, and the waters, O noble one.
नू ष्टुत इन्द्र नू गृणान इषं जरित्रे नद्यो न पीपेः । अकारि ते हरिवो ब्रह्म नव्यं धिया स्याम रथ्यः सदासाः
Now, praised Indra, now, being sung to, grant sustenance to the worshipper, as rivers nourish; for you, O wielder of the bays, a new hymn has been composed—may we, with insight, be ever victorious in the contest.
आ न इन्द्रो दूरादा न आसादभिष्टिकृदवसे यासदुग्रः । ओजिष्ठेभिर्नृपतिर्वज्रबाहुः संगे समत्सु तुर्वणिः पृतन्यून्
May Indra come to us from afar, or from near, the mighty one who brings help to the seeker; the lord of men, strong-armed with the thunderbolt, the victorious one in battles, the subduer in contests.
आ न इन्द्रो हरिभिर्यात्वच्छार्वाचीनोऽवसे राधसे च । तिष्ठाति वज्री मघवा विरप्शीमं यज्ञमनु नो वाजसातौ
Let Indra come to us with his bays, turning towards us for help and for riches; the thunderer, the bountiful, stands by our sacrifice, following our call for strength.
इमं यज्ञं त्वमस्माकमिन्द्र पुरो दधत्सनिष्यसि क्रतुं नः । श्वघ्नीव वज्रिन्सनये धनानां त्वया वयमर्य आजिं जयेम
You, Indra, will establish this sacrifice of ours at the forefront; you will grant us wisdom; like a slayer of foes, O thunderer, for the gaining of wealth—may we, with you, O noble one, win the contest.
उशन्नु षु णः सुमना उपाके सोमस्य नु सुषुतस्य स्वधावः । पा इन्द्र प्रतिभृतस्य मध्वः समन्धसा ममदः पृष्ठ्येन
Gladly, with a gracious mind, approach us, O Indra, delighting in the well-pressed Soma, O self-sustaining one; drink of the sweet mead brought before you, rejoice in the exhilarating draught, as you desire.
वि यो ररप्श ऋषिभिर्नवेभिर्वृक्षो न पक्वः सृण्यो न जेता । मर्यो न योषामभि मन्यमानोऽच्छा विवक्मि पुरुहूतमिन्द्रम्
He who, like a tree full of fruit, or a swift racer, has been loosened by the new seers—like a youth exulting over a maiden, so do I, desiring, call upon Indra, the much-invoked.
गिरिर्न यः स्वतवाँ ऋष्व इन्द्रः सनादेव सहसे जात उग्रः । आदर्ता वज्रं स्थविरं न भीम उद्नेव कोशं वसुना न्यृष्टम्
Like a mountain, mighty in his own strength, is Indra, born strong for enduring power from the beginning; he has seized the ancient thunderbolt, terrible, as one draws forth a vessel filled with wealth from the water.
न यस्य वर्ता जनुषा न्वस्ति न राधस आमरीता मघस्य । उद्वावृषाणस्तविषीव उग्रास्मभ्यं दद्धि पुरुहूत रायः
There is none who can reach his path by birth, nor any who can exhaust his bounty or his gifts; raising up his strength, O mighty one, bestow upon us, O much-invoked, abundant wealth.
ईक्षे रायः क्षयस्य चर्षणीनामुत व्रजमपवर्तासि गोनाम् । शिक्षानरः समिथेषु प्रहावान्वस्वो राशिमभिनेतासि भूरिम्
You watch over the wealth, the dwelling of peoples, and you open the pen of the kine; you, O manly one, are victorious in assemblies, you lead forth a great heap of riches for us.
कया तच्छृण्वे शच्या शचिष्ठो यया कृणोति मुहु का चिदृष्वः । पुरु दाशुषे विचयिष्ठो अंहोऽथा दधाति द्रविणं जरित्रे
By what power is that heard, O most powerful, by which you accomplish mighty deeds again and again? You, who are most generous to the worshipper, discerning many gifts, then bestow wealth upon the singer.
मा नो मर्धीरा भरा दद्धि तन्नः प्र दाशुषे दातवे भूरि यत्ते । नव्ये देष्णे शस्ते अस्मिन्त उक्थे प्र ब्रवाम वयमिन्द्र स्तुवन्तः
Do not harm us; bring us the gift, grant that to us; give much of what you have to the worshipper for giving; in this new, excellent, and praiseworthy hymn, let us, praising Indra, declare your glory.
नू ष्टुत इन्द्र नू गृणान इषं जरित्रे नद्यो न पीपेः । अकारि ते हरिवो ब्रह्म नव्यं धिया स्याम रथ्यः सदासाः
Now, praised Indra, now, being sung to, grant sustenance to the worshipper, as rivers nourish; for you, O wielder of the bays, a new hymn has been composed—may we, with insight, be ever victorious in the contest.
आ यात्विन्द्रोऽवस उप न इह स्तुतः सधमादस्तु शूरः । वावृधानस्तविषीर्यस्य पूर्वीर्द्यौर्न क्षत्रमभिभूति पुष्यात्
Let Indra come here for help, praised by us, let the hero sit with us at the banquet; ever growing in might, whose many powers, like the sky, may his dominion ever flourish unconquered.
तस्येदिह स्तवथ वृष्ण्यानि तुविद्युम्नस्य तुविराधसो नॄन् । यस्य क्रतुर्विदथ्यो न सम्राट् साह्वान्तरुत्रो अभ्यस्ति कृष्टीः
Here, praise his mighty deeds, those of the strong one, of great fame, of abundant gifts to men; whose resolve is sovereign in the assembly, who calls forth and stirs the peoples.
आ यात्विन्द्रो दिव आ पृथिव्या मक्षू समुद्रादुत वा पुरीषात् । स्वर्णरादवसे नो मरुत्वान्परावतो वा सदनादृतस्य
Let Indra come from the sky, from the earth, quickly from the sea, or from the waters; the bringer of light, for our help, O Marut-companion, or from the distant seat of truth.
स्थूरस्य रायो बृहतो य ईशे तमु ष्टवाम विदथेष्विन्द्रम् । यो वायुना जयति गोमतीषु प्र धृष्णुया नयति वस्यो अच्छ
Of the strong, great wealth, of which he is lord, that we would praise in the assemblies—Indra, who wins by his might among the wealthy, who leads the bold to the possession of riches.
उप यो नमो नमसि स्तभायन्नियर्ति वाचं जनयन्यजध्यै । ऋञ्जसानः पुरुवार उक्थैरेन्द्रं कृण्वीत सदनेषु होता
He who, bowing in reverence, restrains the arrogant, who sets forth speech, generating it for the sacrifice; the generous, much-invoked one, with hymns—let him, Indra, be made the Hotar in the gatherings.
धिषा यदि धिषण्यन्तः सरण्यान्सदन्तो अद्रिमौशिजस्य गोहे । आ दुरोषाः पास्त्यस्य होता यो नो महान्संवरणेषु वह्निः
If, guided by wisdom, you dwell among the swift ones, abiding in the cave of the mountain of the Maujiga, O Hotar, who is great and kindles the fire for us in the assemblies, you are the guardian of the dwelling.
सत्रा यदीं भार्वरस्य वृष्णः सिषक्ति शुष्म स्तुवते भराय । गुहा यदीमौशिजस्य गोहे प्र यद्धिये प्रायसे मदाय
Whenever the mighty Bhārvara exerts his strength for praise and offering, when he is hidden in the cave of the Maujiga, then, through devotion and striving, he brings forth delight.
वि यद्वरांसि पर्वतस्य वृण्वे पयोभिर्जिन्वे अपां जवांसि । विदद्गौरस्य गवयस्य गोहे यदी वाजाय सुध्यो वहन्ति
When he chooses the best treasures of the mountain, he invigorates the swift courses of the waters with nourishment; he finds the cow in the cave of the wild one, when the well-fed ones bear it forth for the prize.
भद्रा ते हस्ता सुकृतोत पाणी प्रयन्तारा स्तुवते राध इन्द्र । का ते निषत्तिः किमु नो ममत्सि किं नोदुदु हर्षसे दातवा उ
Your hands are auspicious, skillful, and your palms, O Indra, grant gifts to the one who praises; what is your refusal, will you not remember us? What, O mighty one, prevents you from giving?
एवा वस्व इन्द्रः सत्यः सम्राड्ढन्ता वृत्रं वरिवः पूरवे कः । पुरुष्टुत क्रत्वा नः शग्धि रायो भक्षीय तेऽवसो दैव्यस्य
Thus, Indra, the true and sovereign, grants passage to Pūru by slaying the serpent; O much-praised one, grant us wealth through your power, let us enjoy your divine favor.
नू ष्टुत इन्द्र नू गृणान इषं जरित्रे नद्यो न पीपेः । अकारि ते हरिवो ब्रह्म नव्यं धिया स्याम रथ्यः सदासाः
Now, praised, O Indra, now, sung, grant us nourishment for the doer, like rivers that fill; for you, O Hariva, a new hymn has been composed, may we, through wisdom, always be charioteers.
यन्न इन्द्रो जुजुषे यच्च वष्टि तन्नो महान्करति शुष्म्या चित् । ब्रह्म स्तोमं मघवा सोममुक्था यो अश्मानं शवसा बिभ्रदेति
Whatever Indra has chosen, whatever he desires, that the great one accomplishes, even with his might; Maghavan, bearing the stone with strength, accepts our hymn, praise, and soma offering.
वृषा वृषन्धिं चतुरश्रिमस्यन्नुग्रो बाहुभ्यां नृतमः शचीवान् । श्रिये परुष्णीमुषमाण ऊर्णां यस्याः पर्वाणि सख्याय विव्ये
The mighty one, with powerful arms, the best among men, vigorous, eats the four-sided food; for glory, he tears the wool from Paruṣṇī, whose joints he has made for friendship.
यो देवो देवतमो जायमानो महो वाजेभिर्महद्भिश्च शुष्मैः । दधानो वज्रं बाह्वोरुशन्तं द्याममेन रेजयत्प्र भूम
He, the god, most divine among gods, being born, with great steeds and mighty powers, holding the thunderbolt in his broad arms, made the sky resound with his force and shone forth upon the earth.
विश्वा रोधांसि प्रवतश्च पूर्वीर्द्यौरृष्वाज्जनिमन्रेजत क्षाः । आ मातरा भरति शुष्म्या गोर्नृवत्परिज्मन्नोनुवन्त वाताः
All barriers and ancient paths, the lofty sky, the earth, and their origins, resounded; the mother brings the force of the cow, and winds, like men, follow the circuit.
ता तू त इन्द्र महतो महानि विश्वेष्वित्सवनेषु प्रवाच्या । यच्छूर धृष्णो धृषता दधृष्वानहिं वज्रेण शवसाविवेषीः
These, O Indra, are your great deeds among all the assemblies, to be proclaimed; O hero, bold and daring, you struck the serpent with the thunderbolt, displaying your might.
ता तू ते सत्या तुविनृम्ण विश्वा प्र धेनवः सिस्रते वृष्ण ऊध्नः । अधा ह त्वद्वृषमणो भियानाः प्र सिन्धवो जवसा चक्रमन्त
These are your true, mighty deeds; all the cows flow forth from the udder of the bull; then, fearing your strength, the rivers moved swiftly.
