स नश्चित्राभिरद्रिवोऽनवद्याभिरूतिभिः । अनाधृष्टाभिरा गहि
With your wondrous, flawless, and invincible aids, O stone-armed one, come to us.
भूयामो षु त्वावतः सखाय इन्द्र गोमतः । युजो वाजाय घृष्वये
May we be friends of you, the bounteous Indra, possessing cattle, yoked for prize-winning, eager for contest.
त्वं ह्येक ईशिष इन्द्र वाजस्य गोमतः । स नो यन्धि महीमिषम्
For you alone, Indra, are the lord of the prize rich in cattle; grant us great sustenance.
न त्वा वरन्ते अन्यथा यद्दित्ससि स्तुतो मघम् । स्तोतृभ्य इन्द्र गिर्वणः
No one turns you away when, praised, you wish to give wealth, O Indra, singer-loving.
अभि त्वा गोतमा गिरानूषत प्र दावने । इन्द्र वाजाय घृष्वये
To you the Gotamas have raised their songs, O Indra, for the eager prize-winning.
प्र ते वोचाम वीर्या या मन्दसान आरुजः । पुरो दासीरभीत्य
Let us proclaim your heroic deeds, which, delighting in the Soma, you performed, breaking the forts of the Dasyus.
ता ते गृणन्ति वेधसो यानि चकर्थ पौंस्या । सुतेष्विन्द्र गिर्वणः
Those mighty acts of yours, O wise one, which you have done, O Indra, singer-loving, are praised at the pressings.
अवीवृधन्त गोतमा इन्द्र त्वे स्तोमवाहसः । ऐषु धा वीरवद्यशः
The Gotamas, with their songs, have increased you, Indra; in them place glory rich in heroes.
यच्चिद्धि शश्वतामसीन्द्र साधारणस्त्वम् । तं त्वा वयं हवामहे
For you, Indra, are ever the common helper of all; you are the one whom we invoke.
अर्वाचीनो वसो भवास्मे सु मत्स्वान्धसः । सोमानामिन्द्र सोमपाः
Be present, O treasure-giver, for us; rejoice in the Soma, O Indra, drinker of Soma.
अस्माकं त्वा मतीनामा स्तोम इन्द्र यच्छतु । अर्वागा वर्तया हरी
May our hymn, O Indra, bring you to our thoughts; turn your bays hither.
पुरोळाशं च नो घसो जोषयासे गिरश्च नः । वधूयुरिव योषणाम्
May you delight in our sacrificial food and our songs, as a bridegroom delights in maidens.
सहस्रं व्यतीनां युक्तानामिन्द्रमीमहे । शतं सोमस्य खार्यः
We call Indra for a thousand well-yoked chariots, and a hundred jars of Soma.
सहस्रा ते शता वयं गवामा च्यावयामसि । अस्मत्रा राध एतु ते
Thousands and hundreds of cows, O Indra, may we drive to you; may your favor come to us.
दश ते कलशानां हिरण्यानामधीमहि । भूरिदा असि वृत्रहन्
We have taken up ten of your golden vessels; you are a generous giver, O slayer of Vṛtra.
भूरिदा भूरि देहि नो मा दभ्रं भूर्या भर । भूरि घेदिन्द्र दित्ससि
O generous giver, give us much; do not give little, bring us abundance; for you, Indra, indeed give in plenty.
भूरिदा ह्यसि श्रुतः पुरुत्रा शूर वृत्रहन् । आ नो भजस्व राधसि
You are renowned as a generous giver in many places, O heroic slayer of Vṛtra; grant us a share in your bounty.
प्र ते बभ्रू विचक्षण शंसामि गोषणो नपात् । माभ्यां गा अनु शिश्रथः
To you, tawny one, wise and discerning, I proclaim praise, O descendant of the seeker of cows; do not abandon the cows for the two of us.
कनीनकेव विद्रधे नवे द्रुपदे अर्भके । बभ्रू यामेषु शोभेते
Like a young girl in new attire, like a child in fresh garments, the tawny ones shine among the teams.
अरं म उस्रयाम्णेऽरमनुस्रयाम्णे । बभ्रू यामेष्वस्रिधा
Let it be good for the cattle-station, let it be good for the followers of the cattle-station; the tawny ones, ever-flowing, are in the teams.
प्र ऋभुभ्यो दूतमिव वाचमिष्य उपस्तिरे श्वैतरीं धेनुमीळे । ये वातजूतास्तरणिभिरेवैः परि द्यां सद्यो अपसो बभूवुः
I send forth speech to the Ṛbhus, as a messenger, I spread out the white cow for praise; who, driven by the wind, with swift chariots, quickly became waters around the sky.
यदारमक्रन्नृभवः पितृभ्यां परिविष्टी वेषणा दंसनाभिः । आदिद्देवानामुप सख्यमायन्धीरासः पुष्टिमवहन्मनायै
When the skillful ones made the resting place for their parents, surrounding them with adornments and teeth, then the wise ones brought strength for the mind, entering into friendship with the gods.
पुनर्ये चक्रुः पितरा युवाना सना यूपेव जरणा शयाना । ते वाजो विभ्वाँ ऋभुरिन्द्रवन्तो मधुप्सरसो नोऽवन्तु यज्ञम्
Those who made their parents young again, though old and lying at the post like a sacrificial stake, may those Ṛbhus, endowed with strength, Indra's companions, and possessing honeyed streams, protect our sacrifice.
यत्संवत्समृभवो गामरक्षन्यत्संवत्समृभवो मा अपिंशन् । यत्संवत्समभरन्भासो अस्यास्ताभिः शमीभिरमृतत्वमाशुः
When for a year the Ṛbhus protected the cow, when for a year the Ṛbhus shaped the horse, when for a year they bore the brightness of this one, by those labors they swiftly attained immortality.
ज्येष्ठ आह चमसा द्वा करेति कनीयान्त्रीन्कृणवामेत्याह । कनिष्ठ आह चतुरस्करेति त्वष्ट ऋभवस्तत्पनयद्वचो वः
The eldest said, 'Let us make two cups,' the youngest said, 'Let us make four,' the youngest said, 'Let us make four,' and Tvaṣṭṛ, O Ṛbhus, approved your words.
सत्यमूचुर्नर एवा हि चक्रुरनु स्वधामृभवो जग्मुरेताम् । विभ्राजमानाँश्चमसाँ अहेवावेनत्त्वष्टा चतुरो ददृश्वान्
They spoke the truth, and indeed they acted; the Ṛbhus followed their own nature; the cups, shining brightly, Tvaṣṭṛ saw them, four, as if they were one.
द्वादश द्यून्यदगोह्यस्यातिथ्ये रणन्नृभवः ससन्तः । सुक्षेत्राकृण्वन्ननयन्त सिन्धून्धन्वातिष्ठन्नोषधीर्निम्नमापः
When the Ṛbhus, being guests, stayed twelve days in the hidden place, they made the fields fertile, led the rivers, stood on the deserts, and directed the plants and the flowing waters.
रथं ये चक्रुः सुवृतं नरेष्ठां ये धेनुं विश्वजुवं विश्वरूपाम् । त आ तक्षन्त्वृभवो रयिं नः स्ववसः स्वपसः सुहस्ताः
Those who made the well-fitted chariot, the best among men, who made the all-nourishing, all-shaped cow, may those Ṛbhus, self-sustaining, skillful, and with good hands, fashion wealth for us.
अपो ह्येषामजुषन्त देवा अभि क्रत्वा मनसा दीध्यानाः । वाजो देवानामभवत्सुकर्मेन्द्रस्य ऋभुक्षा वरुणस्य विभ्वा
The gods delighted in their works, shining with intent and mind; the vigor of the gods became excellent, belonging to Indra, to Ṛbhukṣa, and to Vibhvan, son of Varuṇa.
ये हरी मेधयोक्था मदन्त इन्द्राय चक्रुः सुयुजा ये अश्वा । ते रायस्पोषं द्रविणान्यस्मे धत्त ऋभवः क्षेमयन्तो न मित्रम्
Those who yoked the two bay steeds, wise and eager, who made well-yoked horses for Indra, may those Ṛbhus, bringing prosperity and wealth to us, grant us safety like a friend.
