ऋजीपी श्येनो ददमानो अंशुं परावतः शकुनो मन्द्रं मदम् । सोमं भरद्दादृहाणो देवावान्दिवो अमुष्मादुत्तरादादाय
The straight-flying falcon, bringing the Soma, the delightful exhilaration, from afar, the bird, holding fast, brought the Soma, the god-invoked, from the highest heaven.
आदाय श्येनो अभरत्सोमं सहस्रं सवाँ अयुतं च साकम् । अत्रा पुरंधिरजहादरातीर्मदे सोमस्य मूरा अमूरः
Having brought it, the falcon carried the Soma, a thousand jars, and ten thousand together. Here the wise woman drove away the enemies; in the joy of Soma, the foolish became wise.
गर्भे नु सन्नन्वेषामवेदमहं देवानां जनिमानि विश्वा । शतं मा पुर आयसीररक्षन्नध श्येनो जवसा निरदीयम्
Even while still in the womb, I have come to know all the births of the gods; a hundred iron fortresses protected me, yet the falcon, with speed, carried me away.
न घा स मामप जोषं जभाराभीमास त्वक्षसा वीर्येण । ईर्मा पुरंधिरजहादरातीरुत वाताँ अतरच्छूशुवानः
Not even for a moment did he bear enmity toward me; with his own strength, he overcame the hostile ones. The wise woman did not abandon her resolve, and the eager wind moved swiftly.
अव यच्छ्येनो अस्वनीदध द्योर्वि यद्यदि वात ऊहुः पुरंधिम् । सृजद्यदस्मा अव ह क्षिपज्ज्यां कृशानुरस्ता मनसा भुरण्यन्
When the falcon descended, the horses neighed; whether the wind carried the wise woman across the sky, or she released herself, he swiftly let fly the bowstring, his mind intent and eager.
ऋजिप्य ईमिन्द्रावतो न भुज्युं श्येनो जभार बृहतो अधि ष्णोः । अन्तः पतत्पतत्र्यस्य पर्णमध यामनि प्रसितस्य तद्वेः
With the speed of a racing horse, the falcon bore Bhujyu, son of Tugra, from the vast expanse; within the flight of the triple-winged one, in the path of the swift, he carried him to safety.
अध श्वेतं कलशं गोभिरक्तमापिप्यानं मघवा शुक्रमन्धः । अध्वर्युभिः प्रयतं मध्वो अग्रमिन्द्रो मदाय प्रति धत्पिबध्यै शूरो मदाय प्रति धत्पिबध्यै
Then Maghavan poured the pure, white Soma, mixed with milk, into the shining vessel; with the priests, prepared and foremost of the sweet drink, Indra, the hero, set it forth to drink for his exhilaration.
त्वा युजा तव तत्सोम सख्य इन्द्रो अपो मनवे सस्रुतस्कः । अहन्नहिमरिणात्सप्त सिन्धूनपावृणोदपिहितेव खानि
With you as ally, O Soma, Indra, flowing for Manu, cleaved the waters; he slew the serpent, released the seven rivers, and opened the closed channels as if uncovering hidden passages.
त्वा युजा नि खिदत्सूर्यस्येन्द्रश्चक्रं सहसा सद्य इन्दो । अधि ष्णुना बृहता वर्तमानं महो द्रुहो अप विश्वायु धायि
With you as ally, O Soma, Indra, with a single blow, struck down the wheel of the sun; with his vast might he set in motion the great course, removing all obstacles from the path.
अहन्निन्द्रो अदहदग्निरिन्दो पुरा दस्यून्मध्यंदिनादभीके । दुर्गे दुरोणे क्रत्वा न यातां पुरू सहस्रा शर्वा नि बर्हीत्
Indra struck, Agni burned, O Soma, in ancient times, the Dasyus at midday in the battle; in the stronghold, in the dwelling, with wisdom they advanced, and the mighty ones cast down thousands of enemies.
विश्वस्मात्सीमधमाँ इन्द्र दस्यून्विशो दासीरकृणोरप्रशस्ताः । अबाधेथाममृणतं नि शत्रूनविन्देथामपचितिं वधत्रैः
From every side, O Indra, you have scattered the Dasyus, making the Dasa peoples insignificant; you have subdued, destroyed, and struck down the enemies, and gained renown by your weapons.
एवा सत्यं मघवाना युवं तदिन्द्रश्च सोमोर्वमश्व्यं गोः । आदर्दृतमपिहितान्यश्ना रिरिचथुः क्षाश्चित्ततृदाना
Thus, O generous ones, Indra and Soma, you made the wide expanse rich in horses and cattle; you broke open what was closed, you released the waters, and the fields became abundant.
आ न स्तुत उप वाजेभिरूती इन्द्र याहि हरिभिर्मन्दसानः । तिरश्चिदर्यः सवना पुरूण्याङ्गूषेभिर्गृणानः सत्यराधाः
Come to us, O Indra, praised, with your steeds, delighting in the Soma, for the contest; even from afar, you reach the many offerings, O true benefactor, praised with songs.
आ हि ष्मा याति नर्यश्चिकित्वान्हूयमानः सोतृभिरुप यज्ञम् । स्वश्वो यो अभीरुर्मन्यमानः सुष्वाणेभिर्मदति सं ह वीरैः
Indeed, the wise man comes, summoned by the offerers, to the sacrifice; he, confident in his horses, rejoices with the eager, and delights together with the heroes.
श्रावयेदस्य कर्णा वाजयध्यै जुष्टामनु प्र दिशं मन्दयध्यै । उद्वावृषाणो राधसे तुविष्मान्करन्न इन्द्रः सुतीर्थाभयं च
Let him make his ears attentive for the prize, to gladden the beloved direction; raising his voice for wealth, mighty, Indra, making the paths easy and fearless.
अच्छा यो गन्ता नाधमानमूती इत्था विप्रं हवमानं गृणन्तम् । उप त्मनि दधानो धुर्याशून्सहस्राणि शतानि वज्रबाहुः
He who will come to the singer, not neglecting the call, thus to the inspired one, praising and invoking; placing at his side swift horses, Indra of the thunderbolt, hundreds and thousands.
त्वोतासो मघवन्निन्द्र विप्रा वयं ते स्याम सूरयो गृणन्तः । भेजानासो बृहद्दिवस्य राय आकाय्यस्य दावने पुरुक्षोः
With your help, O generous Indra, may we, the inspired ones, be your praisers; sharing in the great wealth of the broad sky, for the gaining of the abundant, much-desired treasure.
नकिरिन्द्र त्वदुत्तरो न ज्यायाँ अस्ति वृत्रहन् । नकिरेवा यथा त्वम्
No one, O Indra, is superior or greater than you, slayer of Vṛtra; no one at all is like you.
सत्रा ते अनु कृष्टयो विश्वा चक्रेव वावृतुः । सत्रा महाँ असि श्रुतः
All the peoples together have turned to you, as spokes to the nave; together you are renowned as great.
विश्वे चनेदना त्वा देवास इन्द्र युयुधुः । यदहा नक्तमातिरः
Even all the gods, O Indra, contended with you, when you surpassed the night with the day.
यत्रोत बाधितेभ्यश्चक्रं कुत्साय युध्यते । मुषाय इन्द्र सूर्यम्
Where, indeed, for the embattled, the wheel fights for Kutsa; there, Indra, you stole away the sun.
यत्र देवाँ ऋघायतो विश्वाँ अयुध्य एक इत् । त्वमिन्द्र वनूँरहन्
Where, for the gods in distress, you alone, Indra, conquered all the hosts of enemies.
यत्रोत मर्त्याय कमरिणा इन्द्र सूर्यम् । प्रावः शचीभिरेतशम्
Where, for the mortal, for the one seeking to kill, Indra, with your powers you brought forth the sun's steed.
किमादुतासि वृत्रहन्मघवन्मन्युमत्तमः । अत्राह दानुमातिरः
Why, O slayer of Vṛtra, O bountiful one, are you so full of wrath? Here, the demon's mother lies slain.
एतद्घेदुत वीर्यमिन्द्र चकर्थ पौंस्यम् । स्त्रियं यद्दुर्हणायुवं वधीर्दुहितरं दिवः
Indeed, this heroic deed, this manly act, Indra, you performed: when you struck down the difficult-to-subdue daughter of the sky.
दिवश्चिद्घा दुहितरं महान्महीयमानाम् । उषासमिन्द्र सं पिणक्
Even the daughter of the sky, great and greatly honored, O Indra, you crushed, O bringer-together.
अपोषा अनसः सरत्सम्पिष्टादह बिभ्युषी । नि यत्सीं शिश्नथद्वृषा
She, terrified, fled from the crushed chariot, when the bull yoked her down at the ford.
एतदस्या अनः शये सुसम्पिष्टं विपाश्या । ससार सीं परावतः
There lies her chariot, well-crushed, in the waters of Vipāś; she ran to the distant shore.
उत सिन्धुं विबाल्यं वितस्थानामधि क्षमि । परि ष्ठा इन्द्र मायया
And you, Indra, split the river Vi-bālya, standing upon the earth, you surrounded it with your magic.
उत शुष्णस्य धृष्णुया प्र मृक्षो अभि वेदनम् । पुरो यदस्य सम्पिणक्
And with might you attacked the stronghold of Śuṣṇa, when you, O crusher, shattered his fortresses.
