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.
देवाश्चित्ते असुर्याय पूर्वेऽनु क्षत्राय ममिरे सहांसि । इन्द्रो मघानि दयते विषह्येन्द्रं वाजस्य जोहुवन्त सातौ
Even the ancient gods, for lordship, have submitted their powers for sovereignty. Indra dispenses gifts to the mighty; in the contest for strength, they call upon Indra for aid.
कीरिश्चिद्धि त्वामवसे जुहावेशानमिन्द्र सौभगस्य भूरेः । अवो बभूथ शतमूते अस्मे अभिक्षत्तुस्त्वावतो वरूता
Even a weakling calls upon you for help, O Indra, lord of abundant good fortune. You have been a hundredfold protector for us; the guardians of the powerful one have surrounded us.
सखायस्त इन्द्र विश्वह स्याम नमोवृधासो महिना तरुत्र । वन्वन्तु स्मा तेऽवसा समीकेऽभीतिमर्यो वनुषां शवांसि
O Indra, may we always be your friends, ever growing in reverence, mighty through your greatness. Let your favor grant us victory in assembly; let your strength overcome the power of hostile men.
स न इन्द्र त्वयताया इषे धास्त्मना च ये मघवानो जुनन्ति । वस्वी षु ते जरित्रे अस्तु शक्तिर्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
O Indra, grant us the wealth that comes from you and your own nature, which the generous bestow. May your power for the worshipper be abundant; may you always protect us with well-being.
पिबा सोममिन्द्र मन्दतु त्वा यं ते सुषाव हर्यश्वाद्रिः । सोतुर्बाहुभ्यां सुयतो नार्वा
Drink the Soma, Indra, let it delight you—the Soma which the stone has pressed for you, O lover of horses, from the mountain, skillfully poured by the presser's hands.
यस्ते मदो युज्यश्चारुरस्ति येन वृत्राणि हर्यश्व हंसि । स त्वामिन्द्र प्रभूवसो ममत्तु
That exhilarating, lovely draught of yours, O lover of horses, by which you have slain the Vṛtras—may that, O Indra, mighty in power, intoxicate you.
बोधा सु मे मघवन्वाचमेमां यां ते वसिष्ठो अर्चति प्रशस्तिम् । इमा ब्रह्म सधमादे जुषस्व
Hear, O generous one, this speech of mine, which Vasiṣṭha offers as praise to you. Accept these hymns at the shared feast.
श्रुधी हवं विपिपानस्याद्रेर्बोधा विप्रस्यार्चतो मनीषाम् । कृष्वा दुवांस्यन्तमा सचेमा
Hear the call of the one who pours from the mountain; attend to the inspired thought of the singer. Grant us your most helpful favor, so that we may be joined with you.
न ते गिरो अपि मृष्ये तुरस्य न सुष्टुतिमसुर्यस्य विद्वान् । सदा ते नाम स्वयशो विवक्मि
I cannot deny your words, O mighty one, nor the praise of you, O lord, for I know them. I always proclaim your name, your true glory.
भूरि हि ते सवना मानुषेषु भूरि मनीषी हवते त्वामित् । मारे अस्मन्मघवञ्ज्योक्कः
For your libations among men are many, and many a wise man calls upon you. O generous one, do not take our dwelling away from us.
तुभ्येदिमा सवना शूर विश्वा तुभ्यं ब्रह्माणि वर्धना कृणोमि । त्वं नृभिर्हव्यो विश्वधासि
To you, O hero, are all these libations; for you I make hymns that increase your greatness. You are to be invoked by men in every way.
नू चिन्नु ते मन्यमानस्य दस्मोदश्नुवन्ति महिमानमुग्र । न वीर्यमिन्द्र ते न राधः
Even those who think themselves strong do not attain your greatness, O fierce one. Your manliness, O Indra, and your bounty are not to be surpassed.
ये च पूर्व ऋषयो ये च नूत्ना इन्द्र ब्रह्माणि जनयन्त विप्राः । अस्मे ते सन्तु सख्या शिवानि यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Both the ancient seers and the new, O Indra, the inspired ones who have composed hymns—may their auspicious friendships be with us. May you always protect us with well-being.
उदु ब्रह्माण्यैरत श्रवस्येन्द्रं समर्ये महया वसिष्ठ । आ यो विश्वानि शवसा ततानोपश्रोता म ईवतो वचांसि
The hymns have risen up in glory; Vasiṣṭha magnifies Indra in the contest. He, by his might, has stretched out all things; let him hear my eager words.
अयामि घोष इन्द्र देवजामिरिरज्यन्त यच्छुरुधो विवाचि । नहि स्वमायुश्चिकिते जनेषु तानीदंहांस्यति पर्ष्यस्मान्
I have come with a call, O Indra, born of the gods, to you who are praised when the wise speak. No one among men knows his own lifespan; may you carry us beyond these difficulties.
युजे रथं गवेषणं हरिभ्यामुप ब्रह्माणि जुजुषाणमस्थुः । वि बाधिष्ट स्य रोदसी महित्वेन्द्रो वृत्राण्यप्रती जघन्वान्
He has yoked the searching chariot with the two bays; the hymns, desiring him, have approached. Indra, unconquered, has scattered the two worlds and slain the Vṛtras.
आपश्चित्पिप्यु स्तर्यो न गावो नक्षन्नृतं जरितारस्त इन्द्र । याहि वायुर्न नियुतो नो अच्छा त्वं हि धीभिर्दयसे वि वाजान्
Even the waters have swelled, like cows, at the true song of the singer, O Indra. Come to us as the wind comes to its followers, for you, by our thoughts, distribute the prizes.
ते त्वा मदा इन्द्र मादयन्तु शुष्मिणं तुविराधसं जरित्रे । एको देवत्रा दयसे हि मर्तानस्मिञ्छूर सवने मादयस्व
May these exhilarations, O Indra, gladden you—mighty, of abundant gifts, for the worshipper. You alone, O hero, show favor among mortals; rejoice in this libation.
एवेदिन्द्रं वृषणं वज्रबाहुं वसिष्ठासो अभ्यर्चन्त्यर्कैः । स न स्तुतो वीरवद्धातु गोमद्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Thus do the Vasiṣṭhas praise Indra, the mighty, with the thunderbolt in his arm, with hymns. May he, when praised, grant us heroic sons and cattle. May you always protect us with well-being.
योनिष्ट इन्द्र सदने अकारि तमा नृभिः पुरुहूत प्र याहि । असो यथा नोऽविता वृधे च ददो वसूनि ममदश्च सोमैः
A seat has been prepared for you, Indra, in your dwelling. Come, much-invoked, with men. As our protector and increaser, grant us wealth and be delighted with the Somas.
