तस्य वयं सुमतौ यज्ञियस्यापि भद्रे सौमनसे स्याम । स सुत्रामा स्ववाँ इन्द्रो अस्मे आराच्चिद्द्वेषः सनुतर्युयोतु
May we be in the good favor and happy mind of that worshipful one. May Indra, of excellent protection and generous gifts, drive away hatred from us, even from afar.
अव त्वे इन्द्र प्रवतो नोर्मिर्गिरो ब्रह्माणि नियुतो धवन्ते । उरू न राधः सवना पुरूण्यपो गा वज्रिन्युवसे समिन्दून्
To you, Indra, descend the streams, the hymns, the chants, the prayers, the offerings. Like wide wealth at the pressings, you, O Vajrin, gather the many drops together.
क ईं स्तवत्कः पृणात्को यजाते यदुग्रमिन्मघवा विश्वहावेत् । पादाविव प्रहरन्नन्यमन्यं कृणोति पूर्वमपरं शचीभिः
Who can praise him, who can satisfy him, who can worship him, when Maghavan, the slayer of all, advances? Striking one after another like feet, with his powers he makes the former the latter.
शृण्वे वीर उग्रमुग्रं दमायन्नन्यमन्यमतिनेनीयमानः । एधमानद्विळुभयस्य राजा चोष्कूयते विश इन्द्रो मनुष्यान्
The mighty one is heard, fierce, subduing, surpassing others, being led by his own force. As king, Indra exalts both the flourishing and the declining among men.
परा पूर्वेषां सख्या वृणक्ति वितर्तुराणो अपरेभिरेति । अनानुभूतीरवधून्वानः पूर्वीरिन्द्रः शरदस्तर्तरीति
He abandons the friendships of the former, moving on to others, seeking new ones. Indra, surpassing the old, leaves behind the unexperienced, crossing over many years.
रूपंरूपं प्रतिरूपो बभूव तदस्य रूपं प्रतिचक्षणाय । इन्द्रो मायाभिः पुरुरूप ईयते युक्ता ह्यस्य हरयः शता दश
He has become a counterpart to every form; that is his form for each observer. Indra, with his many forms, moves by his powers; his ten times a hundred steeds are harnessed.
युजानो हरिता रथे भूरि त्वष्टेह राजति । को विश्वाहा द्विषतः पक्ष आसत उतासीनेषु सूरिषु
Yoking the bay steeds to his chariot, he shines greatly here, O Tvaṣṭṛ. Who can always withstand the hostile sides, whether seated or among the shining ones?
अगव्यूति क्षेत्रमागन्म देवा उर्वी सती भूमिरंहूरणाभूत् । बृहस्पते प्र चिकित्सा गविष्टावित्था सते जरित्र इन्द्र पन्थाम्
We have come to the field of cattle, O gods; the wide earth has become broad and spacious. O Bṛhaspati, show care for the prize; knowing, Indra, the path for the singer.
दिवेदिवे सदृशीरन्यमर्धं कृष्णा असेधदप सद्मनो जाः । अहन्दासा वृषभो वस्नयन्तोदव्रजे वर्चिनं शम्बरं च
Day by day, the black ones, born of the house, perished, each one like the other. The bull slew the Dāsa, Vasnaya, and in the enclosure, Varcina and Śambara.
प्रस्तोक इन्नु राधसस्त इन्द्र दश कोशयीर्दश वाजिनोऽदात् । दिवोदासादतिथिग्वस्य राधः शाम्बरं वसु प्रत्यग्रभीष्म
Indeed, Indra gave Prastoka ten chariots, ten horses, ten prizes. From Divodāsa and Atithigva he received the wealth of Śambara.
दशाश्वान्दश कोशान्दश वस्त्राधिभोजना । दशो हिरण्यपिण्डान्दिवोदासादसानिषम्
Ten horses, ten chariots, ten garments, and abundant food; ten lumps of gold I obtained from Divodāsa.
दश रथान्प्रष्टिमतः शतं गा अथर्वभ्यः । अश्वथः पायवेऽदात्
Ten chariots with seats, a hundred cows, Atharvan received. Aśvatha gave to Pāyu.
महि राधो विश्वजन्यं दधानान्भरद्वाजान्सार्ञ्जयो अभ्ययष्ट
Sārñjaya bestowed upon the Bharadvājas great and all-generating wealth.
वनस्पते वीड्वङ्गो हि भूया अस्मत्सखा प्रतरणः सुवीरः । गोभिः संनद्धो असि वीळयस्वास्थाता ते जयतु जेत्वानि
O Lord of the Forest, may you be strong-limbed, our friend, a crossing, heroic. Bound with cows, be victorious; may your standing bring us success in conquest.
दिवस्पृथिव्याः पर्योज उद्भृतं वनस्पतिभ्यः पर्याभृतं सहः । अपामोज्मानं परि गोभिरावृतमिन्द्रस्य वज्रं हविषा रथं यज
From heaven and earth, raised up, from the trees, gathered together, is strength. The vigor of the waters, surrounded by cows, offer Indra's bolt, the chariot, with oblation.
इन्द्रस्य वज्रो मरुतामनीकं मित्रस्य गर्भो वरुणस्य नाभिः । सेमां नो हव्यदातिं जुषाणो देव रथ प्रति हव्या गृभाय
Indra's bolt is the front of the Maruts, the embryo of Mitra, the navel of Varuṇa. Accepting this offering, O god, take up the chariot for our oblation.
उप श्वासय पृथिवीमुत द्यां पुरुत्रा ते मनुतां विष्ठितं जगत् । स दुन्दुभे सजूरिन्द्रेण देवैर्दूराद्दवीयो अप सेध शत्रून्
Direct your breath toward the earth and the sky; let your presence be acknowledged in many places throughout the world. O drum, together with Indra and the gods, drive away enemies from afar, push them further away.
आ क्रन्दय बलमोजो न आ धा नि ष्टनिहि दुरिता बाधमानः । अप प्रोथ दुन्दुभे दुच्छुना इत इन्द्रस्य मुष्टिरसि वीळयस्व
Resound, O drum, with strength and power; strike down hardships as you thunder. Drive away misfortune, O drum; you are Indra’s fist—fall upon the wicked.
आमूरज प्रत्यावर्तयेमाः केतुमद्दुन्दुभिर्वावदीति । समश्वपर्णाश्चरन्ति नो नरोऽस्माकमिन्द्र रथिनो जयन्तु
Rise up, O drum, turn these omens back; let the drum sound forth with signs of victory. May our charioteers, with horses swift as the wind, move together; Indra, may our warriors win.
यज्ञायज्ञा वो अग्नये गिरागिरा च दक्षसे । प्रप्र वयममृतं जातवेदसं प्रियं मित्रं न शंसिषम्
With sacrifice after sacrifice, with song after song, we praise Agni for skill. We proclaim the immortal, Jātavedas, our dear friend, as Mitra is praised.
ऊर्जो नपातं स हिनायमस्मयुर्दाशेम हव्यदातये । भुवद्वाजेष्वविता भुवद्वृध उत त्राता तनूनाम्
May we serve the Son of Strength, who is to be invoked for our offerings. May he be our protector in battles, our increaser, and the guardian of our bodies.
वृषा ह्यग्ने अजरो महान्विभास्यर्चिषा । अजस्रेण शोचिषा शोशुचच्छुचे सुदीतिभिः सु दीदिहि
O Agni, you are mighty, unfading, great; you shine forth with your flame. With your ceaseless radiance, you blaze, O pure one; shine brightly with your good gifts.
महो देवान्यजसि यक्ष्यानुषक्तव क्रत्वोत दंसना । अर्वाचः सीं कृणुह्यग्नेऽवसे रास्व वाजोत वंस्व
You worship the great gods, you perform the sacred rites with wisdom and power. Draw them near, O Agni, for our help; grant us strength and bring us wealth.
यमापो अद्रयो वना गर्भमृतस्य पिप्रति । सहसा यो मथितो जायते नृभिः पृथिव्या अधि सानवि
The waters, the stones, and the forests nourish him, the embryo of immortality. He who is kindled with force is born among men, upon the surface of the earth.
आ यः पप्रौ भानुना रोदसी उभे धूमेन धावते दिवि । तिरस्तमो ददृश ऊर्म्यास्वा श्यावास्वरुषो वृषा श्यावा अरुषो वृषा
He who fills both heaven and earth with his light, who moves with smoke in the sky—he has seen through the darkness with his waves, the tawny bull among the dark ones, the tawny bull among the dark ones.
बृहद्भिरग्ने अर्चिभिः शुक्रेण देव शोचिषा । भरद्वाजे समिधानो यविष्ठ्य रेवन्नः शुक्र दीदिहि द्युमत्पावक दीदिहि
With your great flames, O Agni, with your bright radiance, O god, shine upon us. Kindled by Bharadvāja, youngest one, shine for us with brightness, shine with light, O radiant one.
विश्वासां गृहपतिर्विशामसि त्वमग्ने मानुषीणाम् । शतं पूर्भिर्यविष्ठ पाह्यंहसः समेद्धारं शतं हिमा स्तोतृभ्यो ये च ददति
You are the lord of all households, O Agni, among all people. Guard us, youngest one, from a hundred evils with your protection; grant a hundred winters to those who praise and give.
त्वं नश्चित्र ऊत्या वसो राधांसि चोदय । अस्य रायस्त्वमग्ने रथीरसि विदा गाधं तुचे तु नः
With wondrous aid, O treasure-giver, inspire us with gifts. Of this wealth, O Agni, you are the charioteer; lead us to abundance, to a secure place.
पर्षि तोकं तनयं पर्तृभिष्ट्वमदब्धैरप्रयुत्वभिः । अग्ने हेळांसि दैव्या युयोधि नोऽदेवानि ह्वरांसि च
Carry our children and descendants safely with your faultless and unfailing guides. O Agni, keep away divine anger from us, and also the offenses of the ungodly.
आ सखायः सबर्दुघां धेनुमजध्वमुप नव्यसा वचः । सृजध्वमनपस्फुराम्
Come, friends, approach the cow with abundant milk, with a new song. Set her free, let her not be restrained.
