चत्वारो मा पैजवनस्य दानाः स्मद्दिष्टयः कृशनिनो निरेके । ऋज्रासो मा पृथिविष्ठाः सुदासस्तोकं तोकाय श्रवसे वहन्ति
Four gifts from Paijavana, marked for me, have been set apart by the lean ones; the swift ones of Sudās, standing on the earth, carry fame for offspring and descendants.
यस्य श्रवो रोदसी अन्तरुर्वी शीर्ष्णेशीर्ष्णे विबभाजा विभक्ता । सप्तेदिन्द्रं न स्रवतो गृणन्ति नि युध्यामधिमशिशादभीके
His fame, spread between heaven and earth, is divided at every summit; seven streams praise Indra, flowing forth, and in battle, he has subdued the hostile ones.
इमं नरो मरुतः सश्चतानु दिवोदासं न पितरं सुदासः । अविष्टना पैजवनस्य केतं दूणाशं क्षत्रमजरं दुवोयु
These men, together with the Maruts, have followed this Divodāsa, the father of Sudās; may you grant us, O Paijavana, the sign, the undiminished, ageless power, for protection.
यस्तिग्मशृङ्गो वृषभो न भीम एकः कृष्टीश्च्यावयति प्र विश्वाः । यः शश्वतो अदाशुषो गयस्य प्रयन्तासि सुष्वितराय वेदः
He who is sharp-horned, like a mighty bull, terrifying, alone stirs all peoples; he who always leads the generous Gaya to the most delightful offering, he knows.
त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र कुत्समावः शुश्रूषमाणस्तन्वा समर्ये । दासं यच्छुष्णं कुयवं न्यस्मा अरन्धय आर्जुनेयाय शिक्षन्
You, Indra, protected Kutsa, eager to serve, with your own body in battle; you subdued the Dāsa Śuṣṇa and Kuyava, and granted victory to Arjuneya.
त्वं धृष्णो धृषता वीतहव्यं प्रावो विश्वाभिरूतिभिः सुदासम् । प्र पौरुकुत्सिं त्रसदस्युमावः क्षेत्रसाता वृत्रहत्येषु पूरुम्
You, bold one, with boldness, have led Sudās, who offers well, with all your aids; you protected Paurukutsa and Trasadasyu, and Puru in the gaining of land and the slaying of Vṛtra.
त्वं नृभिर्नृमणो देववीतौ भूरीणि वृत्रा हर्यश्व हंसि । त्वं नि दस्युं चुमुरिं धुनिं चास्वापयो दभीतये सुहन्तु
You, among men, O Indra, delighting in men’s offerings, have slain many Vṛtras, O Haryaśva; you cast down the Dasyu Cumuri and Dhuni, making them sleep for the benefit of the worshipper.
तव च्यौत्नानि वज्रहस्त तानि नव यत्पुरो नवतिं च सद्यः । निवेशने शततमाविवेषीरहञ्च वृत्रं नमुचिमुताहन्
These deeds of yours, O Indra, wielder of the bolt, are renowned: when you destroyed ninety-nine cities at once; in the hundredth dwelling you entered, and you slew Vṛtra and also Namuci.
सना ता त इन्द्र भोजनानि रातहव्याय दाशुषे सुदासे । वृष्णे ते हरी वृषणा युनज्मि व्यन्तु ब्रह्माणि पुरुशाक वाजम्
These ancient gifts, O Indra, are for Sudās, who offers with prayer; I harness your two strong, stallion-like steeds for you, let hymns bring you abundant strength.
मा ते अस्यां सहसावन्परिष्टावघाय भूम हरिवः परादै । त्रायस्व नोऽवृकेभिर्वरूथैस्तव प्रियासः सूरिषु स्याम
Let us not, O Indra, be left behind in this contest of strength, O mighty one; protect us with your unfailing defenses, let us be your favorites among the generous.
प्रियास इत्ते मघवन्नभिष्टौ नरो मदेम शरणे सखायः । नि तुर्वशं नि याद्वं शिशीह्यतिथिग्वाय शंस्यं करिष्यन्
Let us, your friends, rejoice in your favor, O generous one, in your shelter; subdue Turvaśa and Yadu, and grant worthy fame to Atithigva.
सद्यश्चिन्नु ते मघवन्नभिष्टौ नरः शंसन्त्युक्थशास उक्था । ये ते हवेभिर्वि पणीँरदाशन्नस्मान्वृणीष्व युज्याय तस्मै
Even now, O generous one, in your favor, men praise you with hymns and chants; those who, with their invocations, have driven away the Paṇis—choose us for that alliance.
एते स्तोमा नरां नृतम तुभ्यमस्मद्र्यञ्चो ददतो मघानि । तेषामिन्द्र वृत्रहत्ये शिवो भूः सखा च शूरोऽविता च नृणाम्
These praises of men, O most heroic, are for you; they bring gifts to us; in the slaying of Vṛtra, O Indra, be gracious, be a friend, a hero, and a protector of men.
नू इन्द्र शूर स्तवमान ऊती ब्रह्मजूतस्तन्वा वावृधस्व । उप नो वाजान्मिमीह्युप स्तीन्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Now, O Indra, heroic one, praised, grow strong with the support of prayer and your own might; come to us for strength, come for seats—may you always protect us with blessings.
उग्रो जज्ञे वीर्याय स्वधावाञ्चक्रिरपो नर्यो यत्करिष्यन् । जग्मिर्युवा नृषदनमवोभिस्त्राता न इन्द्र एनसो महश्चित्
The mighty one was born for heroic power, self-sustaining, who made the waters, a manly one, when he was about to act. The youthful one went to the seat of men with help; Indra, as a protector, does not let even great sin harm us.
हन्ता वृत्रमिन्द्रः शूशुवानः प्रावीन्नु वीरो जरितारमूती । कर्ता सुदासे अह वा उ लोकं दाता वसु मुहुरा दाशुषे भूत्
Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra, shining forth, has defended the singer like a hero. He made a place for Sudās, and indeed, he is the giver of wealth, granting again and again to the worshipper.
युध्मो अनर्वा खजकृत्समद्वा शूरः सत्राषाड्जनुषेमषाळ्हः । व्यास इन्द्रः पृतनाः स्वोजा अधा विश्वं शत्रूयन्तं जघान
Fierce in battle, unwearied, breaking through obstacles, a hero, always victorious, strong by birth—Indra, with his own might, scattered the armies and struck down all who were hostile.
उभे चिदिन्द्र रोदसी महित्वा पप्राथ तविषीभिस्तुविष्मः । नि वज्रमिन्द्रो हरिवान्मिमिक्षन्समन्धसा मदेषु वा उवोच
Indra, mighty with his strength, has filled both heaven and earth with greatness; powerful, he, the bearer of the thunderbolt, measured them out, and in the exhilaration of Soma, he spoke forth.
वृषा जजान वृषणं रणाय तमु चिन्नारी नर्यं ससूव । प्र यः सेनानीरध नृभ्यो अस्तीनः सत्वा गवेषणः स धृष्णुः
The bull begot a bull for battle; even a noble woman bore this manly one. He who is a leader of armies, a helper of men, steadfast in spirit, a seeker of cattle, he is bold.
नू चित्स भ्रेषते जनो न रेषन्मनो यो अस्य घोरमाविवासात् । यज्ञैर्य इन्द्रे दधते दुवांसि क्षयत्स राय ऋतपा ऋतेजाः
Now, that people do not falter, nor does the mind waver, who have invoked his terrible power. Those who place their offerings in Indra with sacrifices, those righteous and truthful ones, possess enduring wealth.
यदिन्द्र पूर्वो अपराय शिक्षन्नयज्ज्यायान्कनीयसो देष्णम् । अमृत इत्पर्यासीत दूरमा चित्र चित्र्यं भरा रयिं नः
When, Indra, you, seeking for the later, taught the earlier, you gave the greater portion to the lesser. He, immortal, went far around; bring us, O wondrous one, splendid wealth.
यस्त इन्द्र प्रियो जनो ददाशदसन्निरेके अद्रिवः सखा ते । वयं ते अस्यां सुमतौ चनिष्ठाः स्याम वरूथे अघ्नतो नृपीतौ
That man, O Indra, who is your dear worshipper, who gives, who is your friend, O thunderer—may we be among those most favored in your good will, protected from harm, honored among men.
एष स्तोमो अचिक्रदद्वृषा त उत स्तामुर्मघवन्नक्रपिष्ट । रायस्कामो जरितारं त आगन्त्वमङ्ग शक्र वस्व आ शको नः
This praise has been raised for you, O mighty one; let it reach you, O generous one, who is invoked by the pressed Soma. Desiring wealth, the singer calls you—come, O Śakra, bring us riches.
स न इन्द्र त्वयताया इषे धास्त्मना च ये मघवानो जुनन्ति । वस्वी षु ते जरित्रे अस्तु शक्तिर्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
So, Indra, may you bestow upon us strength with your support, as those generous ones aid by their own power. May your power for the singer be abundant; may you always protect us with well-being.
असावि देवं गोऋजीकमन्धो न्यस्मिन्निन्द्रो जनुषेमुवोच । बोधामसि त्वा हर्यश्व यज्ञैर्बोधा न स्तोममन्धसो मदेषु
The exhilarating Soma has been poured for the god, the bellowing one, for whom Indra, in his birth, spoke. We would awaken you, O Indra of the tawny steeds, with sacrifices; may you be aware of our praise, delighting in the Soma draughts.
प्र यन्ति यज्ञं विपयन्ति बर्हिः सोममादो विदथे दुध्रवाचः । न्यु भ्रियन्ते यशसो गृभादा दूरउपब्दो वृषणो नृषाचः
They go forth to the sacrifice, they prepare the sacred grass, the Soma-drinkers, with their utterances in the assembly. From the houses of the glorious, the renowned, the powerful, the manly ones, the far-heard, are brought forth.
त्वमिन्द्र स्रवितवा अपस्कः परिष्ठिता अहिना शूर पूर्वीः । त्वद्वावक्रे रथ्यो न धेना रेजन्ते विश्वा कृत्रिमाणि भीषा
You, Indra, have caused the streams to flow, unimpeded, you, O hero, have established many with the serpent. At your roaring, the chariots, like cows, tremble; all the devices are shaken by your might.
भीमो विवेषायुधेभिरेषामपांसि विश्वा नर्याणि विद्वान् । इन्द्रः पुरो जर्हृषाणो वि दूधोद्वि वज्रहस्तो महिना जघान
Terrible, he rushes with his weapons against them, knowing all the manly deeds. Indra, exulting, has shattered the forts; with his thunderbolt in his hand, by his greatness, he has struck down.
न यातव इन्द्र जूजुवुर्नो न वन्दना शविष्ठ वेद्याभिः । स शर्धदर्यो विषुणस्य जन्तोर्मा शिश्नदेवा अपि गुरृतं नः
No one, O Indra, who strives, has prevailed against you, nor any who worships with rituals, O most mighty. May the hostile, harmful one be scattered, and let not the godless ones overpower us.
अभि क्रत्वेन्द्र भूरध ज्मन्न ते विव्यङ्महिमानं रजांसि । स्वेना हि वृत्रं शवसा जघन्थ न शत्रुरन्तं विविदद्युधा ते
With your power, O Indra, you have surpassed many, your greatness has filled the regions. By your own might you slew Vṛtra; no enemy has found your limit in battle.
