युवं मृगं जागृवांसं स्वदथो वा वृषण्वसू । ता नः पृङ्क्तमिषा रयिम्
You two delight in the vigilant deer, or in the strong, wealthy bull; grant us nourishment and wealth.
ता मे अश्विना सनीनां विद्यातं नवानाम् । यथा चिच्चैद्यः कशुः शतमुष्ट्रानां ददत्सहस्रा दश गोनाम्
O Ashvins, know these gifts of mine, new ones; just as Caidiya, the generous, gave a hundred camels and ten thousand cows.
यो मे हिरण्यसंदृशो दश राज्ञो अमंहत । अधस्पदा इच्चैद्यस्य कृष्टयश्चर्मम्ना अभितो जनाः
He who gave me ten kings, shining like gold, was not diminished; beneath Caidiya, his people thrived, and many gathered around him.
माकिरेना पथा गाद्येनेमे यन्ति चेदयः । अन्यो नेत्सूरिरोहते भूरिदावत्तरो जनः
Let no one travel this path with me, for these Caidiya go forth; another, not a leader, rises, but the one with abundant gifts is the greater man.
महाँ इन्द्रो य ओजसा पर्जन्यो वृष्टिमाँ इव । स्तोमैर्वत्सस्य वावृधे
Mighty is Indra by his strength, like the rain-bringing Parjanya; he grew strong through the praises of the calf.
प्रजामृतस्य पिप्रतः प्र यद्भरन्त वह्नयः । विप्रा ऋतस्य वाहसा
You who nourish the offspring of immortality, when the fires bear forth, O wise ones, by the vehicle of truth.
कण्वा इन्द्रं यदक्रत स्तोमैर्यज्ञस्य साधनम् । जामि ब्रुवत आयुधम्
When the Kanvas made Indra with praises, the accomplisher of sacrifice, they called the weapon kin.
समस्य मन्यवे विशो विश्वा नमन्त कृष्टयः । समुद्रायेव सिन्धवः
For his wrath, all peoples bow down; like rivers to the ocean.
ओजस्तदस्य तित्विष उभे यत्समवर्तयत् । इन्द्रश्चर्मेव रोदसी
Such is his strength and brilliance, when he brought together both; Indra, like a skin, enveloped the heavens and earth.
वि चिद्वृत्रस्य दोधतो वज्रेण शतपर्वणा । शिरो बिभेद वृष्णिना
He split the head of the resisting Vritra with the thunderbolt of a hundred joints, with his mighty force.
इमा अभि प्र णोनुमो विपामग्रेषु धीतयः । अग्नेः शोचिर्न दिद्युतः
We praise these thoughts among the foremost, shining like the flame of Agni.
गुहा सतीरुप त्मना प्र यच्छोचन्त धीतयः । कण्वा ऋतस्य धारया
Though hidden, they shine forth by their own nature; the Kanvas, by the stream of truth.
प्र तमिन्द्र नशीमहि रयिं गोमन्तमश्विनम् । प्र ब्रह्म पूर्वचित्तये
Let us seek from Indra wealth, rich in cows and horses; let us offer the hymn for ancient insight.
अहमिद्धि पितुष्परि मेधामृतस्य जग्रभ । अहं सूर्य इवाजनि
Indeed, I have grasped the wisdom of immortality from my father; I was born like the sun.
अहं प्रत्नेन मन्मना गिरः शुम्भामि कण्ववत् । येनेन्द्रः शुष्ममिद्दधे
With ancient thought, I adorn my songs like the Kanvas, by which Indra gained his strength.
ये त्वामिन्द्र न तुष्टुवुरृषयो ये च तुष्टुवुः । ममेद्वर्धस्व सुष्टुतः
Those sages who did not praise you, Indra, and those who did, let me, well-praised, increase your might.
यदस्य मन्युरध्वनीद्वि वृत्रं पर्वशो रुजन् । अपः समुद्रमैरयत्
When his wrath moved, he broke the Vritra, the barriers; he sent the waters to the ocean.
नि शुष्ण इन्द्र धर्णसिं वज्रं जघन्थ दस्यवि । वृषा ह्युग्र शृण्विषे
You struck down Shushna, Indra, with the thunderbolt for the enemy; mighty and fierce, you are heard.
न द्याव इन्द्रमोजसा नान्तरिक्षाणि वज्रिणम् । न विव्यचन्त भूमयः
Neither the heavens, Indra, by their might, nor the midspaces restrain the wielder of the thunderbolt; nor do the earths hold him back.
यस्त इन्द्र महीरप स्तभूयमान आशयत् । नि तं पद्यासु शिश्नथः
Whoever, Indra, would oppose your great waters, being set up against them, you strike him down on the paths.
य इमे रोदसी मही समीची समजग्रभीत् । तमोभिरिन्द्र तं गुहः
He who, Indra, has seized these two great worlds together, him you hide away with darkness.
य इन्द्र यतयस्त्वा भृगवो ये च तुष्टुवुः । ममेदुग्र श्रुधी हवम्
Indra, those disciplined ones, the Bhṛgus, and those who have praised you—O mighty one, listen to my invocation.
इमास्त इन्द्र पृश्नयो घृतं दुहत आशिरम् । एनामृतस्य पिप्युषीः
These, Indra, the spotted cows, yield clarified butter swiftly; they are full of the drink of immortality.
या इन्द्र प्रस्वस्त्वासा गर्भमचक्रिरन् । परि धर्मेव सूर्यम्
Those who, Indra, with easy births, have made the embryo, surround the sun as in its course.
त्वामिच्छवसस्पते कण्वा उक्थेन वावृधुः । त्वां सुतास इन्दवः
You, lord of strength, the Kaṇvas have magnified with hymn; you, pressed Soma juices.
तवेदिन्द्र प्रणीतिषूत प्रशस्तिरद्रिवः । यज्ञो वितन्तसाय्यः
For your guidance, Indra, is the praise, O stone-armed one; the sacrifice, well-spread, is for you.
आ न इन्द्र महीमिषं पुरं न दर्षि गोमतीम् । उत प्रजां सुवीर्यम्
To us, Indra, grant great sustenance, as to a city rich in cattle; and also offspring and heroic strength.
उत त्यदाश्वश्व्यं यदिन्द्र नाहुषीष्वा । अग्रे विक्षु प्रदीदयत्
And that horse-likeness, Indra, which belonged to Nahusha, shone forth first among the clans.
अभि व्रजं न तत्निषे सूर उपाकचक्षसम् । यदिन्द्र मृळयासि नः
You have established the enclosure, like the sun with far-seeing eye, when, Indra, you show us mercy.
यदङ्ग तविषीयस इन्द्र प्रराजसि क्षितीः । महाँ अपार ओजसा
Whenever, indeed, with your surpassing power, Indra, you conquer the peoples, great and boundless is your might.
