प्रत्यङ्देवानां विशः प्रत्यङ्ङुदेषि मानुषान् । प्रत्यङ्विश्वं स्वर्दृशे
You turn towards the gatherings of the gods, you turn towards the gatherings of men, you turn towards all to be seen.
येना पावक चक्षसा भुरण्यन्तं जनाँ अनु । त्वं वरुण पश्यसि
With that pure eye, O radiant one, you behold all people; you, O Varuṇa, see.
वि द्यामेषि रजस्पृथ्वहा मिमानो अक्तुभिः । पश्यञ्जन्मानि सूर्य
You traverse the sky, measuring the vast expanse with your rays, observing the births, O Sun.
सप्त त्वा हरितो रथे वहन्ति देव सूर्य । शोचिष्केशं विचक्षण
Seven bay steeds carry you in your chariot, O god Sun, you with fiery hair, all-seeing.
अयुक्त सप्त शुन्ध्युवः सूरो रथस्य नप्त्यः । ताभिर्याति स्वयुक्तिभिः
The Sun, offspring of the chariot, has yoked the seven shining mares; with these self-harnessed ones he journeys onward.
उद्वयं तमसस्परि ज्योतिष्पश्यन्त उत्तरम् । देवं देवत्रा सूर्यमगन्म ज्योतिरुत्तमम्
Rising above the darkness, we behold the higher light; we have reached the god among gods, the Sun, the supreme light.
उद्यन्नद्य मित्रमह आरोहन्नुत्तरां दिवम् । हृद्रोगं मम सूर्य हरिमाणं च नाशय
Rising today, O Sun, friend of all, ascending the highest heaven, remove my heart's disease and the yellow hue from me.
शुकेषु मे हरिमाणं रोपणाकासु दध्मसि । अथो हारिद्रवेषु मे हरिमाणं नि दध्मसि
Into the white vessels we place the yellow hue; and now into the vessels of turmeric we lay the yellow hue for me.
उदगादयमादित्यो विश्वेन सहसा सह । द्विषन्तं मह्यं रन्धयन्मो अहं द्विषते रधम्
This Sun has risen with all-conquering might; driving away my adversary, let me not fall into the power of my foe.
अभि त्यं मेषं पुरुहूतमृग्मियमिन्द्रं गीर्भिर्मदता वस्वो अर्णवम् । यस्य द्यावो न विचरन्ति मानुषा भुजे मंहिष्ठमभि विप्रमर्चत
With hymns let us exalt Indra, the ram, much-invoked, worthy of song, the oceanic lord of wealth; whom, like the heavens, men cannot encompass, whose might is greatest—praise him, O inspired ones.
अभीमवन्वन्स्वभिष्टिमूतयोऽन्तरिक्षप्रां तविषीभिरावृतम् । इन्द्रं दक्षास ऋभवो मदच्युतं शतक्रतुं जवनी सूनृतारुहत्
The eager ones, seeking their own desire, have approached him, whose strength fills the midspace; the skillful, with their powers, have mounted Indra, the hundred-powered, who is stirred by delight.
त्वं गोत्रमङ्गिरोभ्योऽवृणोरपोतात्रये शतदुरेषु गातुवित् । ससेन चिद्विमदायावहो वस्वाजावद्रिं वावसानस्य नर्तयन्
You, O Indra, chose the cows for the Angirases, opening the path for the far-dwelling, knowing the way; even with your army you brought the wealth for Vimada, driving the stone to dance for the eager one.
त्वमपामपिधानावृणोरपाधारयः पर्वते दानुमद्वसु । वृत्रं यदिन्द्र शवसावधीरहिमादित्सूर्यं दिव्यारोहयो दृशे
You uncovered the coverings of the waters, O Indra, and let the streams flow on the mountain, O giver of wealth; when, with your might, you slew Vritra, you made the Sun ascend the sky for vision.
त्वं मायाभिरप मायिनोऽधमः स्वधाभिर्ये अधि शुप्तावजुह्वत । त्वं पिप्रोर्नृमणः प्रारुजः पुरः प्र ऋजिश्वानं दस्युहत्येष्वाविथ
By your powers you cast down the cunning ones with their cunning, those who, by their own nature, lay sleeping; you shattered the strongholds of Pipru, O manly one, and aided Rjishvan in the slaying of foes.
त्वं कुत्सं शुष्णहत्येष्वाविथारन्धयोऽतिथिग्वाय शम्बरम् । महान्तं चिदर्बुदं नि क्रमीः पदा सनादेव दस्युहत्याय जज्ञिषे
You aided Kutsa in the slaying of Shushna, and for Atithigva you subdued Shambara; even the great Arbuda you trampled underfoot—since ancient times you were born for the slaying of foes.
त्वे विश्वा तविषी सध्र्यग्घिता तव राधः सोमपीथाय हर्षते । तव वज्रश्चिकिते बाह्वोर्हितो वृश्चा शत्रोरव विश्वानि वृष्ण्या
All powers are united in you, ever near; your bounty delights at the Soma offering; your thunderbolt, set in your arms, is keen—by it you strike down all the strength of the enemy.
वि जानीह्यार्यान्ये च दस्यवो बर्हिष्मते रन्धया शासदव्रतान् । शाकी भव यजमानस्य चोदिता विश्वेत्ता ते सधमादेषु चाकन
Discern the Aryas and also the Dasyus; subdue the lawless, O Indra, for the one who offers on the sacred grass; be the inciter for the sacrificer—may all your favors be present in the gatherings.
अनुव्रताय रन्धयन्नपव्रतानाभूभिरिन्द्रः श्नथयन्ननाभुवः । वृद्धस्य चिद्वर्धतो द्यामिनक्षत स्तवानो वम्रो वि जघान संदिहः
Indra, subduing those who follow and those who do not, shattering the hostile, has crushed the unsubmissive; even the old, though growing, he has not spared—praising, the humble has slain the arrogant.
तक्षद्यत्त उशना सहसा सहो वि रोदसी मज्मना बाधते शवः । आ त्वा वातस्य नृमणो मनोयुज आ पूर्यमाणमवहन्नभि श्रवः
When Ushanas forged the power, the force that by its might pervades heaven and earth, your strength, O Indra, conquers; to you, yoked by the mind of Vata's son, the fame that fills all is brought.
मन्दिष्ट यदुशने काव्ये सचाँ इन्द्रो वङ्कू वङ्कुतराधि तिष्ठति । उग्रो ययिं निरपः स्रोतसासृजद्वि शुष्णस्य दृंहिता ऐरयत्पुरः
Most delightful is the wisdom of Ushanas, with which Indra stands above all, bending and surpassing; the fierce one released the waters in the contest, he shattered the strongholds of Shushna.
आ स्मा रथं वृषपाणेषु तिष्ठसि शार्यातस्य प्रभृता येषु मन्दसे । इन्द्र यथा सुतसोमेषु चाकनोऽनर्वाणं श्लोकमा रोहसे दिवि
You stand upon the chariot among the strong-handed, where the gifts of Sharyata are offered for your delight; Indra, as you rejoice in the pressed Soma, you ascend to the undiminished glory in heaven.
अददा अर्भां महते वचस्यवे कक्षीवते वृचयामिन्द्र सुन्वते । मेनाभवो वृषणश्वस्य सुक्रतो विश्वेत्ता ते सवनेषु प्रवाच्या
You have given the young one to the great speaker, to Kakshivat, O Indra, for the pressing; you were not deceived by Vrishanashva, O wise one—all your deeds at the pressings are to be proclaimed.
इन्द्रो अश्रायि सुध्यो निरेके पज्रेषु स्तोमो दुर्यो न यूपः । अश्वयुर्गव्यू रथयुर्वसूयुरिन्द्र इद्रायः क्षयति प्रयन्ता
Indra, the well-pressed Soma has been poured for you; the hymn has been set forth in the vessels, like a post at the sacrifice. Indra, who is yoked with horses, with cows, with chariots, and with wealth, is the leader who brings prosperity to this rite.
इदं नमो वृषभाय स्वराजे सत्यशुष्माय तवसेऽवाचि । अस्मिन्निन्द्र वृजने सर्ववीराः स्मत्सूरिभिस्तव शर्मन्स्याम
This reverence I have spoken for the Bull, the lord of light, whose strength is true and whose power is mighty. In this assembly, O Indra, may we, with all our heroes and our generous patrons, be under your protection.
त्यं सु मेषं महया स्वर्विदं शतं यस्य सुभ्वः साकमीरते । अत्यं न वाजं हवनस्यदं रथमेन्द्रं ववृत्यामवसे सुवृक्तिभिः
With splendid hymns, let us praise that ram, the knower of light, with whom a hundred strong ones rejoice together. Like a swift horse, a prize-winning chariot at the call, may we turn to Indra for help with well-spoken words.
स पर्वतो न धरुणेष्वच्युतः सहस्रमूतिस्तविषीषु वावृधे । इन्द्रो यद्वृत्रमवधीन्नदीवृतमुब्जन्नर्णांसि जर्हृषाणो अन्धसा
He, like a mountain, unshaken in his foundations, with a thousand powers, has grown in might. When Indra slew Vṛtra, who covered the rivers, he released the waters, exulting in the Soma.
स हि द्वरो द्वरिषु वव्र ऊधनि चन्द्रबुध्नो मदवृद्धो मनीषिभिः । इन्द्रं तमह्वे स्वपस्यया धिया मंहिष्ठरातिं स हि पप्रिरन्धसः
He, the best of defenders in battles, with a shining belly, grown strong with exhilaration and wisdom—him, Indra, I call with clear insight, the greatest giver, for he delights in the Soma.
आ यं पृणन्ति दिवि सद्मबर्हिषः समुद्रं न सुभ्वः स्वा अभिष्टयः । तं वृत्रहत्ये अनु तस्थुरूतयः शुष्मा इन्द्रमवाता अह्रुतप्सवः
Him whom the seats in heaven fill, like the ocean, with their own riches—towards him, in the slaying of Vṛtra, the streams have stood firm; Indra's might, unwearied, has brought the waters, their strength not stolen away.
अभि स्ववृष्टिं मदे अस्य युध्यतो रघ्वीरिव प्रवणे सस्रुरूतयः । इन्द्रो यद्वज्री धृषमाणो अन्धसा भिनद्वलस्य परिधीँरिव त्रितः
At his own exhilaration, the streams rushed forth as if down a steep slope, when Indra, armed with the thunderbolt, bold with the Soma, broke open the barriers of Vala, as Trita did.
परीं घृणा चरति तित्विषे शवोऽपो वृत्वी रजसो बुध्नमाशयत् । वृत्रस्य यत्प्रवणे दुर्गृभिश्वनो निजघन्थ हन्वोरिन्द्र तन्यतुम्
His radiance moves around with heat, eager for battle; he reached the bottom of the atmosphere, having conquered the waters. When, in the descent of Vṛtra, with difficult-to-hold weapons, you struck down the thunder, O Indra.
