रेवाँ इद्रेवत स्तोता स्यात्त्वावतो मघोनः । प्रेदु हरिवः श्रुतस्य
Let the praiser be indeed rich in gifts, O bountiful one, possessing you; come forth, O tawny one, for the renowned.
उक्थं चन शस्यमानमगोररिरा चिकेत । न गायत्रं गीयमानम्
Even the praised hymn of the cow is not noticed; nor is the Gāyatra song, though it is sung.
मा न इन्द्र पीयत्नवे मा शर्धते परा दाः । शिक्षा शचीवः शचीभिः
O Indra, let not our strength be diminished, let not our gifts be taken away; grant us, O Lord of power, strength with your powers.
वयमु त्वा तदिदर्था इन्द्र त्वायन्तः सखायः । कण्वा उक्थेभिर्जरन्ते
We, your friends, approach you for this very purpose, Indra; the Kanvas praise you with their hymns.
न घेमन्यदा पपन वज्रिन्नपसो नविष्टौ । तवेदु स्तोमं चिकेत
Never, O wielder of the bolt, have the unwise gained anything; only your praise has truly been recognized.
इच्छन्ति देवाः सुन्वन्तं न स्वप्नाय स्पृहयन्ति । यन्ति प्रमादमतन्द्राः
The gods desire the one who presses Soma; they do not long for the slothful, but go eagerly to the diligent.
ओ षु प्र याहि वाजेभिर्मा हृणीथा अभ्यस्मान् । महाँ इव युवजानिः
Come forth now with prizes; do not withhold from us, as a mighty youth among the young.
मो ष्वद्य दुर्हणावान्सायं करदारे अस्मत् । अश्रीर इव जामाता
Let not the one who brings trouble today harm us in the evening, like a son-in-law who is unwelcome.
विद्मा ह्यस्य वीरस्य भूरिदावरीं सुमतिम् । त्रिषु जातस्य मनांसि
We know indeed the generous favor of this heroic one, the thoughts of him who is born in three places.
आ तू षिञ्च कण्वमन्तं न घा विद्म शवसानात् । यशस्तरं शतमूतेः
Pour forth for the Kanva, for the singer; we do not know any strength greater than that of the hundredfold-aided one.
ज्येष्ठेन सोतरिन्द्राय सोमं वीराय शक्राय । भरा पिबन्नर्याय
With the eldest, press Soma for Indra, the heroic, the mighty; offer, let the noble one drink.
यो वेदिष्ठो अव्यथिष्वश्वावन्तं जरितृभ्यः । वाजं स्तोतृभ्यो गोमन्तम्
He who is most to be invoked among helpers gives to the singers horses and wealth, and to the praisers, cattle.
पन्यम्पन्यमित्सोतार आ धावत मद्याय । सोमं वीराय शूराय
One after another, O pressers, hasten for the intoxicating drink, Soma, for the heroic, the mighty.
पाता वृत्रहा सुतमा घा गमन्नारे अस्मत् । नि यमते शतमूतिः
Let the slayer of Vṛtra drink the pressed Soma here; then the hundredfold-aided one restrains the foe from us.
एह हरी ब्रह्मयुजा शग्मा वक्षतः सखायम् । गीर्भिः श्रुतं गिर्वणसम्
Here, let the two bay steeds yoked by prayer bring the famous one, the friend, the one renowned by songs, the lover of hymns.
स्वादवः सोमा आ याहि श्रीताः सोमा आ याहि । शिप्रिन्नृषीवः शचीवो नायमच्छा सधमादम्
Come to the sweet Somas, come to the shining Somas, O bright-jawed, powerful one, come here to the shared feast like a sage among men.
स्तुतश्च यास्त्वा वर्धन्ति महे राधसे नृम्णाय । इन्द्र कारिणं वृधन्तः
Those who praise you, Indra, increase you for great bounty and manly strength, exalting the doer.
गिरश्च यास्ते गिर्वाह उक्था च तुभ्यं तानि । सत्रा दधिरे शवांसि
And those songs of yours, O lover of songs, and those hymns for you, all these have united in your powers.
एवेदेष तुविकूर्मिर्वाजाँ एको वज्रहस्तः । सनादमृक्तो दयते
This very one, strong in action, the sole wielder of the bolt, bestows prizes without fail.
हन्ता वृत्रं दक्षिणेनेन्द्रः पुरू पुरुहूतः । महान्महीभिः शचीभिः
Indra, invoked by many, strikes down Vṛtra with his right hand, great with mighty powers.
यस्मिन्विश्वाश्चर्षणय उत च्यौत्ना ज्रयांसि च । अनु घेन्मन्दी मघोनः
In whom all peoples and even the decaying, aging things abide; in whom, O generous one, the decrees follow in order.
एष एतानि चकारेन्द्रो विश्वा योऽति शृण्वे । वाजदावा मघोनाम्
This Indra has accomplished all these deeds, who is renowned for surpassing all, the bestower of prizes among the generous.
प्रभर्ता रथं गव्यन्तमपाकाच्चिद्यमवति । इनो वसु स हि वोळ्हा
He sets forth the chariot seeking cattle, even from afar he brings it safely; he is the carrier of wealth, indeed the bearer for you.
सनिता विप्रो अर्वद्भिर्हन्ता वृत्रं नृभिः शूरः । सत्योऽविता विधन्तम्
The inspired one is a provider with horses, a slayer of Vṛtra with men, a true protector who accomplishes.
यजध्वैनं प्रियमेधा इन्द्रं सत्राचा मनसा । यो भूत्सोमैः सत्यमद्वा
Worship him, Indra, with dear offerings, with united mind; who has become true through the Somas, the undeceived.
गाथश्रवसं सत्पतिं श्रवस्कामं पुरुत्मानम् । कण्वासो गात वाजिनम्
The Kanvas sing of Gāthaśravas, the true lord, desiring glory, of wide renown, the winner of prizes.
य ऋते चिद्गास्पदेभ्यो दात्सखा नृभ्यः शचीवान् । ये अस्मिन्काममश्रियन्
He, even without being asked, gives cattle from his dwelling, a friend to men, powerful; those who have sought desire in him.
इत्था धीवन्तमद्रिवः काण्वं मेध्यातिथिम् । मेषो भूतोऽभि यन्नयः
Thus, O stone-splitter, you have made the wise Kāṇva, the pure guest, like a ram, when you led him forth.
शिक्षा विभिन्दो अस्मै चत्वार्ययुता ददत् । अष्टा परः सहस्रा
Grant, O Vibhindu, to him four tens of thousands; and eight thousand more beyond.
उत सु त्ये पयोवृधा माकी रणस्य नप्त्या । जनित्वनाय मामहे
And those who are nourished by milk, let them not be deprived of the joy of battle; may we be born for that purpose.
