अधा मन्ये बृहदसुर्यमस्य यानि दाधार नकिरा मिनाति । दिवेदिवे सूर्यो दर्शतो भूद्वि सद्मान्युर्विया सुक्रतुर्धात्
Then I consider his great lordship—what he upholds, none diminishes; day by day the sun appears to be seen, the dwellings are wide, the wise one has established them.
अद्या चिन्नू चित्तदपो नदीनां यदाभ्यो अरदो गातुमिन्द्र । नि पर्वता अद्मसदो न सेदुस्त्वया दृळ्हानि सुक्रतो रजांसि
Even today, O Indra, you have made a path for the waters, when you have led them forth; the mountains, like those sitting at the meal, did not stand firm; by you, O wise one, the firm regions were opened.
सत्यमित्तन्न त्वावाँ अन्यो अस्तीन्द्र देवो न मर्त्यो ज्यायान् । अहन्नहिं परिशयानमर्णोऽवासृजो अपो अच्छा समुद्रम्
Truly, there is no other god like you, Indra, nor any mortal greater; you slew the serpent lying in the waters, you released the waters to flow to the sea.
त्वमपो वि दुरो विषूचीरिन्द्र दृळ्हमरुजः पर्वतस्य । राजाभवो जगतश्चर्षणीनां साकं सूर्यं जनयन्द्यामुषासम्
You, Indra, have divided the waters, parted the barriers, shattered the mountain's firmness; you became king of the moving peoples, together generating the sun, the sky, and the dawn.
अभूरेको रयिपते रयीणामा हस्तयोरधिथा इन्द्र कृष्टीः । वि तोके अप्सु तनये च सूरेऽवोचन्त चर्षणयो विवाचः
You alone, O Indra, lord of riches, have become the master of wealth; you have placed the peoples in your two hands. In offspring, in waters, in sons, in the sun, the peoples speak forth various words.
त्वद्भियेन्द्र पार्थिवानि विश्वाच्युता चिच्च्यावयन्ते रजांसि । द्यावाक्षामा पर्वतासो वनानि विश्वं दृळ्हं भयते अज्मन्ना ते
Because of your might, O Indra, all things on earth, even the immovable, tremble; the realms, the heavens and earth, the mountains and forests—all that is firm is made to fear by your birth.
त्वं कुत्सेनाभि शुष्णमिन्द्राशुषं युध्य कुयवं गविष्टौ । दश प्रपित्वे अध सूर्यस्य मुषायश्चक्रमविवे रपांसि
With Kutsa, O Indra, you fought against Shushna and Kuyava in the contest for the cows; for ten generations, you have divided the treasures of the sun and shattered the fortresses of the thieves.
त्वं शतान्यव शम्बरस्य पुरो जघन्थाप्रतीनि दस्योः । अशिक्षो यत्र शच्या शचीवो दिवोदासाय सुन्वते सुतक्रे भरद्वाजाय गृणते वसूनि
You have destroyed hundreds of forts of Shambara, the unconquerable of the Dasyus; with your power, you have brought riches for Divodāsa, who presses Soma, and for Bharadvāja, who praises you.
स सत्यसत्वन्महते रणाय रथमा तिष्ठ तुविनृम्ण भीमम् । याहि प्रपथिन्नवसोप मद्रिक्प्र च श्रुत श्रावय चर्षणिभ्यः
O mighty one of true strength, mount your chariot for great battle, O Indra, of terrible power; come on the path with new riches to our aid, and make our praises heard among the peoples.
अपूर्व्या पुरुतमान्यस्मै महे वीराय तवसे तुराय । विरप्शिने वज्रिणे शंतमानि वचांस्यासा स्थविराय तक्षम्
For him, the mighty, the most powerful, the heroic, the strong, the wielder of the thunderbolt, Virapśin, I fashion new, most pleasing words, for the ancient one.
स मातरा सूर्येणा कवीनामवासयद्रुजदद्रिं गृणानः । स्वाधीभिरृक्वभिर्वावशान उदुस्रियाणामसृजन्निदानम्
He, praised, with the sun, the mother of the wise, broke open the mountain; with his own songs, rejoicing, he released the dwelling places of the cows.
स वह्निभिरृक्वभिर्गोषु शश्वन्मितज्ञुभिः पुरुकृत्वा जिगाय । पुरः पुरोहा सखिभिः सखीयन्दृळ्हा रुरोज कविभिः कविः सन्
He, ever victorious with fires and songs, with those who know the measure, accomplished many deeds; breaker of forts with friends, the wise one, being wise, shattered the strongholds with the wise.
स नीव्याभिर्जरितारमच्छा महो वाजेभिर्महद्भिश्च शुष्मैः । पुरुवीराभिर्वृषभ क्षितीनामा गिर्वणः सुविताय प्र याहि
With bands of heroes, O bull among men, approach the singer with great prizes and mighty strength; O song-loving one, come for good fortune.
स सर्गेण शवसा तक्तो अत्यैरप इन्द्रो दक्षिणतस्तुराषाट् । इत्था सृजाना अनपावृदर्थं दिवेदिवे विविषुरप्रमृष्यम्
With his rush and might, Indra, marked by power, drove away the foes from the south; thus, ever sending forth, they sought the unassailable wealth, day by day, unwearied.
य ओजिष्ठ इन्द्र तं सु नो दा मदो वृषन्स्वभिष्टिर्दास्वान् । सौवश्व्यं यो वनवत्स्वश्वो वृत्रा समत्सु सासहदमित्रान्
O Indra, strongest one, grant us that strength, O bull, giver of desired gifts, generous; may he who is rich in horses, who conquers with his own horses, overcome enemies and foes in battles.
त्वां हीन्द्रावसे विवाचो हवन्ते चर्षणयः शूरसातौ । त्वं विप्रेभिर्वि पणीँरशायस्त्वोत इत्सनिता वाजमर्वा
For you, O Indra, the peoples call in rivalry for help in the contest for the prize; you, with the wise, scatter the Panis, and with your aid, the swift one, you win the prize.
त्वं ताँ इन्द्रोभयाँ अमित्रान्दासा वृत्राण्यार्या च शूर । वधीर्वनेव सुधितेभिरत्कैरा पृत्सु दर्षि नृणां नृतम
You, O Indra, have slain both enemies, Dasyus and Vritras, and the noble ones, O hero; you strike down the foes with well-whetted weapons, and in battles you see the best of men.
स त्वं न इन्द्राकवाभिरूती सखा विश्वायुरविता वृधे भूः । स्वर्षाता यद्ध्वयामसि त्वा युध्यन्तो नेमधिता पृत्सु शूर
So may you, O Indra, with unfailing aid, be our friend, protector of all life, for increase; when we call upon you for sunlight, O hero, fighting, we do not falter in battles.
नूनं न इन्द्रापराय च स्या भवा मृळीक उत नो अभिष्टौ । इत्था गृणन्तो महिनस्य शर्मन्दिवि ष्याम पार्ये गोषतमाः
Now, O Indra, may you be for us and for our descendants, gracious and helpful; thus, praising, may we dwell in the shelter of your greatness, in the highest heaven, most rich in cows.
सं च त्वे जग्मुर्गिर इन्द्र पूर्वीर्वि च त्वद्यन्ति विभ्वो मनीषाः । पुरा नूनं च स्तुतय ऋषीणां पस्पृध्र इन्द्रे अध्युक्थार्का
To you, O Indra, many songs have come together, and many thoughts come to you, O mighty one; both ancient and now, the praises of the seers have vied with each other in hymns addressed to Indra.
पुरुहूतो यः पुरुगूर्त ऋभ्वाँ एकः पुरुप्रशस्तो अस्ति यज्ञैः । रथो न महे शवसे युजानोऽस्माभिरिन्द्रो अनुमाद्यो भूत्
He who is much-invoked, much-glorified, the only one praised by many sacrifices, is like a chariot yoked for great power; may Indra be praised by us.
न यं हिंसन्ति धीतयो न वाणीरिन्द्रं नक्षन्तीदभि वर्धयन्तीः । यदि स्तोतारः शतं यत्सहस्रं गृणन्ति गिर्वणसं शं तदस्मै
Hymns do not harm him, nor do words, but rather they increase Indra; even if a hundred or a thousand singers praise the song-loving one, all that is for him.
अस्मा एतद्दिव्यर्चेव मासा मिमिक्ष इन्द्रे न्ययामि सोमः । जनं न धन्वन्नभि सं यदापः सत्रा वावृधुर्हवनानि यज्ञैः
For him, as for Indra, I bring forth this Soma with a shining hymn, as if measuring out the months; like a man seeking water in a desert, when the offerings and sacrifices together have grown strong.
अस्मा एतन्मह्याङ्गूषमस्मा इन्द्राय स्तोत्रं मतिभिरवाचि । असद्यथा महति वृत्रतूर्य इन्द्रो विश्वायुरविता वृधश्च
For him, for mighty Indra, I have spoken this praise with my thoughts, this hymn for him; just as when he, the great slayer of obstacles, is present, Indra is the protector of all life and the ever-growing one.
कदा भुवन्रथक्षयाणि ब्रह्म कदा स्तोत्रे सहस्रपोष्यं दाः । कदा स्तोमं वासयोऽस्य राया कदा धियः करसि वाजरत्नाः
When, O bounteous one, will you grant the enduring wealth of chariots, when will you give the thousandfold prosperity in response to our hymn? When will you, with your riches, make our praise fruitful, and when will you bestow thoughts rich in prizes?
कर्हि स्वित्तदिन्द्र यन्नृभिर्नॄन्वीरैर्वीरान्नीळयासे जयाजीन् । त्रिधातु गा अधि जयासि गोष्विन्द्र द्युम्नं स्वर्वद्धेह्यस्मे
When indeed, O Indra, will you, with men among men, with heroes among heroes, bring victory? On the threefold earth, may you win glory among the cows; Indra, grant us shining fame and light.
कर्हि स्वित्तदिन्द्र यज्जरित्रे विश्वप्सु ब्रह्म कृणवः शविष्ठ । कदा धियो न नियुतो युवासे कदा गोमघा हवनानि गच्छाः
When indeed, O Indra, will you, for the worshipper, perform the all-encompassing act of strength? When will you accept our thoughts and helpers, and when will you come to the offerings rich in cows?
स गोमघा जरित्रे अश्वश्चन्द्रा वाजश्रवसो अधि धेहि पृक्षः । पीपिहीषः सुदुघामिन्द्र धेनुं भरद्वाजेषु सुरुचो रुरुच्याः
Bestow upon the worshipper wealth rich in cows, horses, and glory, O Indra, and place the nourishing treasures with the Bharadvājas; make the shining, ever-yielding cow flourish among them.
तमा नूनं वृजनमन्यथा चिच्छूरो यच्छक्र वि दुरो गृणीषे । मा निररं शुक्रदुघस्य धेनोराङ्गिरसान्ब्रह्मणा विप्र जिन्व
May that mighty one, even if opposed, not abandon us when you, O heroic one, have made your weapon ready; do not leave the Angirases without the milk of the bright-yielding cow—O inspired one, win with prayer.
सत्रा मदासस्तव विश्वजन्याः सत्रा रायोऽध ये पार्थिवासः । सत्रा वाजानामभवो विभक्ता यद्देवेषु धारयथा असुर्यम्
Your exhilarations are all-creating, your riches are all earthly; you are the universal distributor of prizes, when you, O lordly one, uphold your divine power among the gods.
