यं मे दुरिन्द्रो मरुतः पाकस्थामा कौरयाणः । विश्वेषां त्मना शोभिष्ठमुपेव दिवि धावमानम्
Whom for me, O Maruts, the difficult Indra, the Pākasthāma, the Kaurayāṇa, among all, shines by his own nature, running as if in the sky.
रोहितं मे पाकस्थामा सुधुरं कक्ष्यप्राम् । अदाद्रायो विबोधनम्
The red one for me, the Pākasthāma, the well-yoked, the one with broad flanks, the undeceived, the awakener.
यस्मा अन्ये दश प्रति धुरं वहन्ति वह्नयः । अस्तं वयो न तुग्र्यम्
By whom others, ten in number, carry the yoke, the fires; like birds to their nest.
आत्मा पितुस्तनूर्वास ओजोदा अभ्यञ्जनम् । तुरीयमिद्रोहितस्य पाकस्थामानं भोजं दातारमब्रवम्
Soul from the father, body as garment, giver of strength as ointment; the fourth, the red one, the Pākasthāma, the generous, the giver, I have declared.
यदिन्द्र प्रागपागुदङ्न्यग्वा हूयसे नृभिः । सिमा पुरू नृषूतो अस्यानवेऽसि प्रशर्ध तुर्वशे
Whenever, Indra, you are invoked by men to the east, west, north, or south, then among many peoples you are renowned as a helper, a champion for Turvasha.
यद्वा रुमे रुशमे श्यावके कृप इन्द्र मादयसे सचा । कण्वासस्त्वा ब्रह्मभि स्तोमवाहस इन्द्रा यच्छन्त्या गहि
Or when, in the house of Ruma, Rushama, Shyavaka, or Kripa, you delight, Indra, together with them; the Kanvas, with hymns and praises, invite you, Indra, to come.
यथा गौरो अपा कृतं तृष्यन्नेत्यवेरिणम् । आपित्वे नः प्रपित्वे तूयमा गहि कण्वेषु सु सचा पिब
As a thirsty bull comes to water, not hostile, so come to us, to our fathers and grandfathers; come, O Indra, drink with the Kanvas, delight in the pressed Soma.
मन्दन्तु त्वा मघवन्निन्द्रेन्दवो राधोदेयाय सुन्वते । आमुष्या सोममपिबश्चमू सुतं ज्येष्ठं तद्दधिषे सहः
Let the exhilarating drops gladden you, O bountiful Indra, for the generous one who presses Soma; you drank the Soma of that one, the best pressed draught, and with that strength you gained might.
प्र चक्रे सहसा सहो बभञ्ज मन्युमोजसा । विश्वे त इन्द्र पृतनायवो यहो नि वृक्षा इव येमिरे
With force you created strength, you shattered anger with your power; all the warriors, O Indra, who opposed you, were subdued like trees cut down.
सहस्रेणेव सचते यवीयुधा यस्त आनळुपस्तुतिम् । पुत्रं प्रावर्गं कृणुते सुवीर्ये दाश्नोति नमउक्तिभिः
He is joined by thousands, ever younger, who brings you praise; he makes his son foremost in manliness, and wins gifts with words of reverence.
मा भेम मा श्रमिष्मोग्रस्य सख्ये तव । महत्ते वृष्णो अभिचक्ष्यं कृतं पश्येम तुर्वशं यदुम्
Let us not fear, let us not grow weary in your fierce friendship; let us see your great deeds, O mighty one, which you did for Turvasha and Yadu.
सव्यामनु स्फिग्यं वावसे वृषा न दानो अस्य रोषति । मध्वा सम्पृक्ताः सारघेण धेनवस्तूयमेहि द्रवा पिब
He rushes forward, swelling his flank, the bull, his generosity does not grow angry; the cows, mingled with honey and richness, come—so come here, flow, and drink.
अश्वी रथी सुरूप इद्गोमाँ इदिन्द्र ते सखा । श्वात्रभाजा वयसा सचते सदा चन्द्रो याति सभामुप
A friend of yours, O Indra, is one with horses, with chariots, with fine form, with cattle; always sharing in strength, he goes to the assembly, shining, ever youthful.
ऋश्यो न तृष्यन्नवपानमा गहि पिबा सोमं वशाँ अनु । निमेघमानो मघवन्दिवेदिव ओजिष्ठं दधिषे सहः
Like a thirsty wild beast, come to the fresh draught, drink the Soma, following the desires; rejoicing, O generous one, day by day, you have taken up the strongest might.
अध्वर्यो द्रावया त्वं सोममिन्द्रः पिपासति । उप नूनं युयुजे वृषणा हरी आ च जगाम वृत्रहा
O Adhvaryu, make the Soma flow, for Indra thirsts; now the two strong steeds are yoked, and the slayer of Vṛtra has come.
स्वयं चित्स मन्यते दाशुरिर्जनो यत्रा सोमस्य तृम्पसि । इदं ते अन्नं युज्यं समुक्षितं तस्येहि प्र द्रवा पिब
Even the worshipper thinks himself great where you are satisfied with Soma; this is your fitting food, well mixed—come to it, flow forth, and drink.
रथेष्ठायाध्वर्यवः सोममिन्द्राय सोतन । अधि ब्रध्नस्याद्रयो वि चक्षते सुन्वन्तो दाश्वध्वरम्
O Adhvaryus, press Soma for Indra, who stands on the chariot; on the pressing stone the stones resound, pouring forth the offering for the generous ritual.
उप ब्रध्नं वावाता वृषणा हरी इन्द्रमपसु वक्षतः । अर्वाञ्चं त्वा सप्तयोऽध्वरश्रियो वहन्तु सवनेदुप
The two strong, swift steeds, yoked to the chariot, bring Indra quickly; let the seven ritual teams, adorned for sacrifice, carry you here to the pressing ground.
प्र पूषणं वृणीमहे युज्याय पुरूवसुम् । स शक्र शिक्ष पुरुहूत नो धिया तुजे राये विमोचन
We choose Pūṣan, the much-giving, for companionship; so, O Shakra, much-invoked, teach us with wisdom, grant us release for wealth.
सं नः शिशीहि भुरिजोरिव क्षुरं रास्व रायो विमोचन । त्वे तन्नः सुवेदमुस्रियं वसु यं त्वं हिनोषि मर्त्यम्
Sharpen us, as one sharpens a razor on a strop; grant us release for wealth; may we, through you, know the well-known, shining wealth, which you bestow on mortals.
वेमि त्वा पूषन्नृञ्जसे वेमि स्तोतव आघृणे । न तस्य वेम्यरणं हि तद्वसो स्तुषे पज्राय साम्ने
I seek you, Pūṣan, for favor, I seek you for praise, O radiant one; I do not seek another's enmity, for that, O giver, I praise you with song and hymn.
परा गावो यवसं कच्चिदाघृणे नित्यं रेक्णो अमर्त्य । अस्माकं पूषन्नविता शिवो भव मंहिष्ठो वाजसातये
The cows, O radiant one, have perhaps gone to the pasture, ever marked, immortal; be our protector, Pūṣan, be gracious, most mighty for the gaining of strength.
स्थूरं राधः शताश्वं कुरुङ्गस्य दिविष्टिषु । राज्ञस्त्वेषस्य सुभगस्य रातिषु तुर्वशेष्वमन्महि
Grant us abundant wealth, a hundred horses, among the gifts of the swift king, the fortunate one; among the Turvashas may we find favor in his bounties.
धीभिः सातानि काण्वस्य वाजिनः प्रियमेधैरभिद्युभिः । षष्टिं सहस्रानु निर्मजामजे निर्यूथानि गवामृषिः
With the thoughts of the Kanva, the prize-winner, with dear praises, with shining hymns, we have driven out sixty thousand herds of cattle, the seer has released the troops.
वृक्षाश्चिन्मे अभिपित्वे अरारणुः । गां भजन्त मेहनाश्वं भजन्त मेहना
Even the trees have not withstood my onrush; they break apart, and the cows are divided, the horses are divided by my power.
दूरादिहेव यत्सत्यरुणप्सुरशिश्वितत् । वि भानुं विश्वधातनत्
From afar, as if truly, the red-hued one, shining with moisture, has spread out his radiance, upholding all things.
नृवद्दस्रा मनोयुजा रथेन पृथुपाजसा । सचेथे अश्विनोषसम्
Like men, O wondrous pair, with minds yoked to your broad-powered chariot, you accompany Ushas, O Ashvins.
युवाभ्यां वाजिनीवसू प्रति स्तोमा अदृक्षत । वाचं दूतो यथोहिषे
To you two, bestowers of wealth in horses, the hymns have come forth, as a messenger brings speech.
पुरुप्रिया ण ऊतये पुरुमन्द्रा पुरूवसू । स्तुषे कण्वासो अश्विना
You who are much beloved for aid, very gracious, possessing much wealth, the Kanvas praise you, O Ashvins.
मंहिष्ठा वाजसातमेषयन्ता शुभस्पती । गन्तारा दाशुषो गृहम्
Most mighty winners of wealth, bringers of glory, lords of beauty, come to the house of the worshipper.
