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.
अनु प्र येजे जन ओजो अस्य सत्रा दधिरे अनु वीर्याय । स्यूमगृभे दुधयेऽर्वते च क्रतुं वृञ्जन्त्यपि वृत्रहत्ये
All people have sought his strength, all have taken hold of his might for heroism; in the house of the weaver and for the swift one, they choose wisdom, even for the slaying of Vṛtra.
तं सध्रीचीरूतयो वृष्ण्यानि पौंस्यानि नियुतः सश्चुरिन्द्रम् । समुद्रं न सिन्धव उक्थशुष्मा उरुव्यचसं गिर आ विशन्ति
To him, Indra, the united helpers bring manly deeds and heroic powers; like rivers into the ocean, the hymns with their force flow toward him, whose expanse is wide.
स रायस्खामुप सृजा गृणानः पुरुश्चन्द्रस्य त्वमिन्द्र वस्वः । पतिर्बभूथासमो जनानामेको विश्वस्य भुवनस्य राजा
You, Indra, send forth the desire for wealth to the singer, you are the lord of the radiant treasure; you have become the unrivaled master of peoples, the sole king of all the world.
स तु श्रुधि श्रुत्या यो दुवोयुर्द्यौर्न भूमाभि रायो अर्यः । असो यथा नः शवसा चकानो युगेयुगे वयसा चेकितानः
So listen with your hearing, you who are invoked, as heaven and earth listen to the noble one; may you, acting with your power, do for us as you have done before, being wise in every age.
अर्वाग्रथं विश्ववारं त उग्रेन्द्र युक्तासो हरयो वहन्तु । कीरिश्चिद्धि त्वा हवते स्वर्वानृधीमहि सधमादस्ते अद्य
Let your harnessed bays, O Indra, bring you here, you who are chosen by all; for even the poor man calls upon you, the bringer of light—we would share your feast today.
प्रो द्रोणे हरयः कर्माग्मन्पुनानास ऋज्यन्तो अभूवन् । इन्द्रो नो अस्य पूर्व्यः पपीयाद्द्युक्षो मदस्य सोम्यस्य राजा
The bays have come to the vessel, the deeds are accomplished, they have become pure and straight; may Indra, the ancient, drink of this, the strong, the king of the Soma exhilaration.
आसस्राणासः शवसानमच्छेन्द्रं सुचक्रे रथ्यासो अश्वाः । अभि श्रव ऋज्यन्तो वहेयुर्नू चिन्नु वायोरमृतं वि दस्येत्
The well-yoked horses, eager for strength, have approached Indra, the well-made chariots; let the straight ones carry the fame, even now, and may the immortal one of the wind not be left behind.
वरिष्ठो अस्य दक्षिणामियर्तीन्द्रो मघोनां तुविकूर्मितमः । यया वज्रिवः परियास्यंहो मघा च धृष्णो दयसे वि सूरीन्
Indra, most generous, directs the right hand of the bountiful; with which, O wielder of the bolt, you drive away distress, and, bold one, you grant riches to the generous.
इन्द्रो वाजस्य स्थविरस्य दातेन्द्रो गीर्भिर्वर्धतां वृद्धमहाः । इन्द्रो वृत्रं हनिष्ठो अस्तु सत्वा ता सूरिः पृणति तूतुजानः
Indra is the giver of enduring strength, may Indra, great in might, be increased by our songs; may Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra, be victorious—thus the generous one fills the eager.
अपादित उदु नश्चित्रतमो महीं भर्षद्द्युमतीमिन्द्रहूतिम् । पन्यसीं धीतिं दैव्यस्य यामञ्जनस्य रातिं वनते सुदानुः
He has set forth, and the most brilliant dawns have arisen; Indra has brought great and glorious praise. The bountiful one seeks the wise intention, the divine path, and the gift of the generous man.
