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.
उत दासं कौलितरं बृहतः पर्वतादधि । अवाहन्निन्द्र शम्बरम्
And the Dāsa named Śambara, dwelling on the great mountain, Indra, you cast down.
उत दासस्य वर्चिनः सहस्राणि शतावधीः । अधि पञ्च प्रधीँरिव
And the Dāsa Varchin, you struck down thousands, hundreds, as if in five gatherings.
उत त्यं पुत्रमग्रुवः परावृक्तं शतक्रतुः । उक्थेष्विन्द्र आभजत्
And that son of Agri, cast away, O Indra of a hundred powers, you accepted in the hymns.
उत त्या तुर्वशायदू अस्नातारा शचीपतिः । इन्द्रो विद्वाँ अपारयत्
And those Turvaśa and Yadu, unwashed, the lord of might, Indra, knowing, brought across.
उत त्या सद्य आर्या सरयोरिन्द्र पारतः । अर्णाचित्ररथावधीः
And those Aryas, O Indra, you struck down on the farther side of the Sarayu, the two with bright chariots, in the flood.
अनु द्वा जहिता नयोऽन्धं श्रोणं च वृत्रहन् । न तत्ते सुम्नमष्टवे
You, slayer of Vṛtra, abandoned the two, the blind and the lame; that was not your favor for the eighth.
शतमश्मन्मयीनां पुरामिन्द्रो व्यास्यत् । दिवोदासाय दाशुषे
A hundred stone-built cities did Indra shatter for Divodāsa, the worshipper.
अस्वापयद्दभीतये सहस्रा त्रिंशतं हथैः । दासानामिन्द्रो मायया
He made the Dāsas sleep in fear, a thousand and thirty, by force, Indra, with your magic.
स घेदुतासि वृत्रहन्समान इन्द्र गोपतिः । यस्ता विश्वानि चिच्युषे
Indeed, you have become thus, O slayer of Vṛtra, O Indra, lord of wealth, who has scattered all these things.
उत नूनं यदिन्द्रियं करिष्या इन्द्र पौंस्यम् । अद्या नकिष्टदा मिनत्
And now, whatever heroic deed you will accomplish, O Indra, today, let no one diminish that strength.
