नृवत्त इन्द्र नृतमाभिरूती वंसीमहि वामं श्रोमतेभिः । ईक्षे हि वस्व उभयस्य राजन्धा रत्नं महि स्थूरं बृहन्तम्
With your heroic aid, O Indra, may we attain your favor with songs of praise; for you, king, see the wealth of both sides; grant us a great, massive, and abundant treasure.
मरुत्वन्तं वृषभं वावृधानमकवारिं दिव्यं शासमिन्द्रम् । विश्वासाहमवसे नूतनायोग्रं सहोदामिह तं हुवेम
We call upon Indra, the bull, accompanied by the Maruts, ever-growing, unconquerable, the divine ruler; for every help, now, we invoke that mighty one, the strong supporter.
जनं वज्रिन्महि चिन्मन्यमानमेभ्यो नृभ्यो रन्धया येष्वस्मि । अधा हि त्वा पृथिव्यां शूरसातौ हवामहे तनये गोष्वप्सु
O wielder of the bolt, subdue for these men those who think themselves great among people; thus, O hero, we call upon you for victory on earth, in offspring, cattle, and waters.
वयं त एभिः पुरुहूत सख्यैः शत्रोःशत्रोरुत्तर इत्स्याम । घ्नन्तो वृत्राण्युभयानि शूर राया मदेम बृहता त्वोताः
With these companions, O much-invoked one, may we be superior to the enemy's enemy; O hero, striking down all adversaries, may we rejoice in great wealth with your aid.
द्यौर्न य इन्द्राभि भूमार्यस्तस्थौ रयिः शवसा पृत्सु जनान् । तं नः सहस्रभरमुर्वरासां दद्धि सूनो सहसो वृत्रतुरम्
O Indra, as heaven stands firm above the earth, so, by your might, wealth stands among people in battles; grant us, O son of strength, the thousandfold treasure, wide and victorious over Vritra.
दिवो न तुभ्यमन्विन्द्र सत्रासुर्यं देवेभिर्धायि विश्वम् । अहिं यद्वृत्रमपो वव्रिवांसं हन्नृजीषिन्विष्णुना सचानः
O Indra, for you alone, all the power of heaven was established among the gods; when, with Vishnu as ally, you slew the serpent Vritra, who had enveloped the waters.
तूर्वन्नोजीयान्तवसस्तवीयान्कृतब्रह्मेन्द्रो वृद्धमहाः । राजाभवन्मधुनः सोम्यस्य विश्वासां यत्पुरां दर्त्नुमावत्
Indra, the ever-great, became stronger than the strong, more powerful than the powerful, through the sacred hymn; he became king of the sweet Soma, when he shattered all the ancient fortresses.
शतैरपद्रन्पणय इन्द्रात्र दशोणये कवयेऽर्कसातौ । वधैः शुष्णस्याशुषस्य मायाः पित्वो नारिरेचीत्किं चन प्र
Here, O Indra, for the wise Dasoni, you broke open the hundred enclosures of the Panis at the call of the hymn; with weapons you destroyed the tricks of the dry, waterless Shushna, and nothing of the foe remained.
महो द्रुहो अप विश्वायु धायि वज्रस्य यत्पतने पादि शुष्णः । उरु ष सरथं सारथये करिन्द्रः कुत्साय सूर्यस्य सातौ
You cast away all great hostilities, O Indra, when Shushna fell at the blow of your thunderbolt; you made the path wide for the charioteer, for Kutsa, in the contest for the Sun.
प्र श्येनो न मदिरमंशुमस्मै शिरो दासस्य नमुचेर्मथायन् । प्रावन्नमीं साप्यं ससन्तं पृणग्राया समिषा सं स्वस्ति
Like a falcon, exhilarating and full of Soma, you, O Indra, struck off the head of the Dasa Namuci; you protected the submissive, the yielding, with blessings and prosperity.
वि पिप्रोरहिमायस्य दृळ्हाः पुरो वज्रिञ्छवसा न दर्दः । सुदामन्तद्रेक्णो अप्रमृष्यमृजिश्वने दात्रं दाशुषे दाः
You shattered the strongholds of Pipru, the magician, O wielder of the bolt, with your might; you granted to Rijishvan, the generous, the unassailable gift, to the worshipper.
स वेतसुं दशमायं दशोणिं तूतुजिमिन्द्रः स्वभिष्टिसुम्नः । आ तुग्रं शश्वदिभं द्योतनाय मातुर्न सीमुप सृजा इयध्यै
He, Indra, ever gracious, delivered Vetasu, Dashamaya, Dashoni, and Tutujin; he released Tugra, the ever-young, for shining forth, as a mother sets her child free to grow.
स ईं स्पृधो वनते अप्रतीतो बिभ्रद्वज्रं वृत्रहणं गभस्तौ । तिष्ठद्धरी अध्यस्तेव गर्ते वचोयुजा वहत इन्द्रमृष्वम्
He, bearing the thunderbolt that slays Vritra, subdues foes without resistance; his steeds stand ready, as if in a pit, yoked by words, carrying lofty Indra.
सनेम तेऽवसा नव्य इन्द्र प्र पूरव स्तवन्त एना यज्ञैः । सप्त यत्पुरः शर्म शारदीर्दर्द्धन्दासीः पुरुकुत्साय शिक्षन्
May we, O Indra, gain your ever-new favor; let the Purus praise you with these sacrifices; when you shattered the seven fortresses of the Dasa Shambara for Purukutsa, granting autumnal shelter.
त्वं वृध इन्द्र पूर्व्यो भूर्वरिवस्यन्नुशने काव्याय । परा नववास्त्वमनुदेयं महे पित्रे ददाथ स्वं नपातम्
You, Indra, have been mighty from ancient times, granting wide space to Ushana Kavi; you gave to the great father his own descendant, not to be surpassed or overtaken, let the new one remain far away.
त्वं धुनिरिन्द्र धुनिमतीरृणोरपः सीरा न स्रवन्तीः । प्र यत्समुद्रमति शूर पर्षि पारया तुर्वशं यदुं स्वस्ति
You, Indra, as the shaker, set free the trembling waters, like flowing streams; when, O hero, you cross over the sea, bring Turvasha and Yadu safely across.
तव ह त्यदिन्द्र विश्वमाजौ सस्तो धुनीचुमुरी या ह सिष्वप् । दीदयदित्तुभ्यं सोमेभिः सुन्वन्दभीतिरिध्मभृतिः पक्थ्यर्कैः
Indeed, O Indra, in every battle, you are victorious; you have scattered the Cumuri and Dhuni who lay sleeping; shining, you are offered Soma, and the fearful one, the sacrificer, praises you with songs and oblations.
इमा उ त्वा पुरुतमस्य कारोर्हव्यं वीर हव्या हवन्ते । धियो रथेष्ठामजरं नवीयो रयिर्विभूतिरीयते वचस्या
These offerings, O most bountiful Indra, the prayers of the poet, call upon you, hero; the thoughts placed on the chariot, ever-young and unfading, bring wealth and abundance through speech.
तमु स्तुष इन्द्रं यो विदानो गिर्वाहसं गीर्भिर्यज्ञवृद्धम् । यस्य दिवमति मह्ना पृथिव्याः पुरुमायस्य रिरिचे महित्वम्
I praise that Indra, who knows, eloquent, grown strong through hymns; whose greatness, rich in many forms, has spread over the sky and the earth.
स इत्तमोऽवयुनं ततन्वत्सूर्येण वयुनवच्चकार । कदा ते मर्ता अमृतस्य धामेयक्षन्तो न मिनन्ति स्वधावः
He alone, the best, has extended skill, making it manifest with the sun, as with intelligence; when will mortals, longing for immortality, not transgress your law, O self-sustaining one?
यस्ता चकार स कुह स्विदिन्द्रः कमा जनं चरति कासु विक्षु । कस्ते यज्ञो मनसे शं वराय को अर्क इन्द्र कतमः स होता
He who accomplished those deeds—where indeed is that Indra? Among which peoples does he move? Which sacrifice is pleasing to your mind for favor? Which hymn, O Indra, and who is that priest?
इदा हि ते वेविषतः पुराजाः प्रत्नास आसुः पुरुकृत्सखायः । ये मध्यमास उत नूतनास उतावमस्य पुरुहूत बोधि
Now, those ancient friends of yours, O ever-victorious, who were born before, have become eager for you; whether they are of the middle times or the new, or even the youngest, be mindful of them, O much-invoked.
तं पृच्छन्तोऽवरासः पराणि प्रत्ना त इन्द्र श्रुत्यानु येमुः । अर्चामसि वीर ब्रह्मवाहो यादेव विद्म तात्त्वा महान्तम्
Those who inquire, the later ones, have followed after your ancient glories, O Indra; we praise you, hero, bearer of prayer, as much as we know you, O great one.
अभि त्वा पाजो रक्षसो वि तस्थे महि जज्ञानमभि तत्सु तिष्ठ । तव प्रत्नेन युज्येन सख्या वज्रेण धृष्णो अप ता नुदस्व
Against you, the strength of the Rakshasas has arisen; stand firm in that great birth; with your ancient, fitting friendship and your thunderbolt, O bold one, drive them away.
स तु श्रुधीन्द्र नूतनस्य ब्रह्मण्यतो वीर कारुधायः । त्वं ह्यापिः प्रदिवि पितॄणां शश्वद्बभूथ सुहव एष्टौ
So now, Indra, hear the prayer of the new singer, O hero, for the poet; for you have always been the helper of our fathers in the highest heaven, ever well-invoked at the sacrifice.
प्रोतये वरुणं मित्रमिन्द्रं मरुतः कृष्वावसे नो अद्य । प्र पूषणं विष्णुमग्निं पुरंधिं सवितारमोषधीः पर्वताँश्च
Call upon Varuna, Mitra, Indra, the Maruts for our aid today; also Pūshan, Vishnu, Agni, Purandhi, Savitar, the plants and the mountains.
इम उ त्वा पुरुशाक प्रयज्यो जरितारो अभ्यर्चन्त्यर्कैः । श्रुधी हवमा हुवतो हुवानो न त्वावाँ अन्यो अमृत त्वदस्ति
These many singers, worthy of sacrifice, honor you with hymns, O Indra; hear the call of the one who invokes you, for there is no other immortal like you.
नू म आ वाचमुप याहि विद्वान्विश्वेभिः सूनो सहसो यजत्रैः । ये अग्निजिह्वा ऋतसाप आसुर्ये मनुं चक्रुरुपरं दसाय
Now come near to my speech, O wise one, with all the sons of strength, worthy of sacrifice; those whose tongues are Agni, upholders of truth, who made Manu the chief for the people.
स नो बोधि पुरएता सुगेषूत दुर्गेषु पथिकृद्विदानः । ये अश्रमास उरवो वहिष्ठास्तेभिर्न इन्द्राभि वक्षि वाजम्
Be our leader, knowing the good paths and the difficult ones, the guide on the way; with those tireless, far-reaching helpers, bring us, O Indra, to the prize.
य एक इद्धव्यश्चर्षणीनामिन्द्रं तं गीर्भिरभ्यर्च आभिः । यः पत्यते वृषभो वृष्ण्यावान्सत्यः सत्वा पुरुमायः सहस्वान्
He alone is to be invoked by all peoples—Indra—let us honor him with hymns; the bull, strong in might, true in being, rich in many forms, powerful.
