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.
ता सुदेवाय दाशुषे सुमेधामवितारिणीम् । घृतैर्गव्यूतिमुक्षतम्
For the well-worshipping, generous one, bestow good wisdom and guidance; pour out streams of milk with ghee.
आ न स्तोममुप द्रवत्तूयं श्येनेभिराशुभिः । यातमश्वेभिरश्विना
Come swiftly to our hymn, you two, with your falcons, with your rapid steeds; come, O Ashvins, with your horses.
येभिस्तिस्रः परावतो दिवो विश्वानि रोचना । त्रीँरक्तून्परिदीयथः
With which you traversed the three distant shining realms of heaven, you two passed through all the regions.
उत नो गोमतीरिष उत सातीरहर्विदा । वि पथः सातये सितम्
Grant us, too, abundant wealth with cattle, and prosperity, O day-bringers; open wide the path for our journey.
आ नो गोमन्तमश्विना सुवीरं सुरथं रयिम् । वोळ्हमश्वावतीरिषः
To us, O Ashvins, bring wealth rich in cattle, strong men, splendid chariots, and abundance with horses.
वावृधाना शुभस्पती दस्रा हिरण्यवर्तनी । पिबतं सोम्यं मधु
Ever-growing, lords of beauty, wondrous ones, with golden wheels, drink the honeyed Soma.
अस्मभ्यं वाजिनीवसू मघवद्भ्यश्च सप्रथः । छर्दिर्यन्तमदाभ्यम्
To us, bestowers of wealth in horses, and to the generous, bring wide protection, O you two who delight in praise.
नि षु ब्रह्म जनानां याविष्टं तूयमा गतम् । मो ष्वन्याँ उपारतम्
To the prayers of the people, come near; hasten here; do not turn aside to another.
अस्य पिबतमश्विना युवं मदस्य चारुणः । मध्वो रातस्य धिष्ण्या
Of this sweet exhilaration, O Ashvins, you two drink, you lords of the chariot, of the honeyed gift.
अस्मे आ वहतं रयिं शतवन्तं सहस्रिणम् । पुरुक्षुं विश्वधायसम्
Bring to us wealth, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, abundant, supporting all people.
