दुरो अश्वस्य दुर इन्द्र गोरसि दुरो यवस्य वसुन इनस्पतिः । शिक्षानरः प्रदिवो अकामकर्शनः सखा सखिभ्यस्तमिदं गृणीमसि
Far is the horse, far, O Indra, is the cow; far is the barley, O Lord of wealth. O men, learn this: the friend, not desiring, from the highest heaven, we praise with friends.
शचीव इन्द्र पुरुकृद्द्युमत्तम तवेदिदमभितश्चेकिते वसु । अतः संगृभ्याभिभूत आ भर मा त्वायतो जरितुः काममूनयीः
Like a strong woman, O Indra, doer of many deeds, most radiant, your wealth is watched on every side. Therefore, having gathered, bring it here, overcoming; let not the singer’s desire fail you.
एभिर्द्युभिः सुमना एभिरिन्दुभिर्निरुन्धानो अमतिं गोभिरश्विना । इन्द्रेण दस्युं दरयन्त इन्दुभिर्युतद्वेषसः समिषा रभेमहि
With these shining ones, with these drops, well-minded, restraining folly with cows and horses, with Indra, may we destroy the foe with the drops; and, free from hatred, may we obtain the prize together.
समिन्द्र राया समिषा रभेमहि सं वाजेभिः पुरुश्चन्द्रैरभिद्युभिः । सं देव्या प्रमत्या वीरशुष्मया गोअग्रयाश्वावत्या रभेमहि
Together with Indra, with wealth, may we obtain the prize; together with steeds, shining in the forefront, victorious. Together with the goddess, with the mighty, heroic, cow-rich, horse-bearing, may we obtain the prize.
ते त्वा मदा अमदन्तानि वृष्ण्या ते सोमासो वृत्रहत्येषु सत्पते । यत्कारवे दश वृत्राण्यप्रति बर्हिष्मते नि सहस्राणि बर्हयः
Those exhilarations, O mighty one, those strengths have delighted you; those Somas, O lord of the good, in the slaying of Vṛtra. When for Kārava you struck down ten Vṛtras, you cast down thousands for the one who sits on the grass.
युधा युधमुप घेदेषि धृष्णुया पुरा पुरं समिदं हंस्योजसा । नम्या यदिन्द्र सख्या परावति निबर्हयो नमुचिं नाम मायिनम्
With battle you approach battle, with boldness; of old you destroyed the city with your might. When, O Indra, with worthy friendship at the border, you struck down Namuci, the crafty one, by name.
त्वं करञ्जमुत पर्णयं वधीस्तेजिष्ठयातिथिग्वस्य वर्तनी । त्वं शता वङ्गृदस्याभिनत्पुरोऽनानुदः परिषूता ऋजिश्वना
You slew Karañja and Parṇaya with your sharpest weapon on Atithigva’s path. You broke a hundred fortresses of Vaṅgṛdas, you drove away the defenders with Ṛjiśvan.
त्वमेताञ्जनराज्ञो द्विर्दशाबन्धुना सुश्रवसोपजग्मुषः । षष्टिं सहस्रा नवतिं नव श्रुतो नि चक्रेण रथ्या दुष्पदावृणक्
You, for these, the sons of Janarāja, twice ten, with their kinsman Suśravas, who had come near, you, famed one, struck down sixty thousand and ninety-nine with the wheel of your chariot, O breaker of obstacles.
त्वमाविथ सुश्रवसं तवोतिभिस्तव त्रामभिरिन्द्र तूर्वयाणम् । त्वमस्मै कुत्समतिथिग्वमायुं महे राज्ञे यूने अरन्धनायः
You aided Suśravas with your protections, with your safeguards, O Indra, you aided Tūrvayāṇa. You gave Kutsā, Atithigva, and Āyu to him, to the great, youthful king, for victory.
य उदृचीन्द्र देवगोपाः सखायस्ते शिवतमा असाम । त्वां स्तोषाम त्वया सुवीरा द्राघीय आयुः प्रतरं दधानाः
Those who, O Indra, are your friends, the divine guardians, are most auspicious. We will praise you; with you as our ally, may we, possessing good men, hold a longer, further life.
मा नो अस्मिन्मघवन्पृत्स्वंहसि नहि ते अन्तः शवसः परीणशे । अक्रन्दयो नद्यो रोरुवद्वना कथा न क्षोणीर्भियसा समारत
Do not, O generous one, abandon us in this contest; there is no end to your might. The rivers roar aloud, the forests resound; as if the earths, from fear, have come together.
अर्चा शक्राय शाकिने शचीवते शृण्वन्तमिन्द्रं महयन्नभि ष्टुहि । यो धृष्णुना शवसा रोदसी उभे वृषा वृषत्वा वृषभो न्यृञ्जते
Sing praise to Śakra, the mighty, the powerful, magnify Indra who hears, with your hymn. Who, with boldness and strength, the bull, subdues both worlds, by his virility, the bull, the hero, harnesses his chariot.
अर्चा दिवे बृहते शूष्यं वचः स्वक्षत्रं यस्य धृषतो धृषन्मनः । बृहच्छ्रवा असुरो बर्हणा कृतः पुरो हरिभ्यां वृषभो रथो हि षः
Sing to the great heaven with a strong voice, whose power is his own, whose mind is bold. The widely famed Asura, exalted, made the fortresses; the bull, with his two bays, his chariot indeed.
त्वं दिवो बृहतः सानु कोपयोऽव त्मना धृषता शम्बरं भिनत् । यन्मायिनो व्रन्दिनो मन्दिना धृषच्छितां गभस्तिमशनिं पृतन्यसि
You, from the great heaven, rouse the summit; with your own boldness you broke Śambara. When, with your joy, you, the bold, cast the lightning, the snare, at the cunning, the hostile, the reviler.
नि यद्वृणक्षि श्वसनस्य मूर्धनि शुष्णस्य चिद्व्रन्दिनो रोरुवद्वना । प्राचीनेन मनसा बर्हणावता यदद्या चित्कृणवः कस्त्वा परि
When you strike upon the head of the wind, even the forests of the roaring, hostile Śuṣṇa. With ancient mind, with exaltation, what, even today, do you accomplish? Who is your equal?
त्वमाविथ नर्यं तुर्वशं यदुं त्वं तुर्वीतिं वय्यं शतक्रतो । त्वं रथमेतशं कृत्व्ये धने त्वं पुरो नवतिं दम्भयो नव
You aided the noble Turvaśa and Yadu; you, O hundred-powered, aided Turvīti and Vayya. You gave the chariot to Etaśa for the prize; you broke ninety and nine fortresses.
स घा राजा सत्पतिः शूशुवज्जनो रातहव्यः प्रति यः शासमिन्वति । उक्था वा यो अभिगृणाति राधसा दानुरस्मा उपरा पिन्वते दिवः
He indeed is king, lord of the good, the shining one, who, called to the offering, listens to the supplicant. Or whoever praises him with hymns for wealth, for him the bow pours down from the sky.
असमं क्षत्रमसमा मनीषा प्र सोमपा अपसा सन्तु नेमे । ये त इन्द्र ददुषो वर्धयन्ति महि क्षत्रं स्थविरं वृष्ण्यं च
Unmatched is his power, unmatched his thought; let these be Soma-drinkers, let these be helpers. Those, O Indra, who support you, the giver, increase your great and ancient might and virility.
तुभ्येदेते बहुला अद्रिदुग्धाश्चमूषदश्चमसा इन्द्रपानाः । व्यश्नुहि तर्पया काममेषामथा मनो वसुदेयाय कृष्व
These abundant cups, filled from the mountain, are for you, Indra, to drink; pour them out, satisfy your desire, and then turn your mind to granting wealth.
अपामतिष्ठद्धरुणह्वरं तमोऽन्तर्वृत्रस्य जठरेषु पर्वतः । अभीमिन्द्रो नद्यो वव्रिणा हिता विश्वा अनुष्ठाः प्रवणेषु जिघ्नते
The mountain stood in the hollow of darkness, within the belly of the serpent; Indra, with force, split the rivers, and all the streams rushed forth, flowing down.
स शेवृधमधि धा द्युम्नमस्मे महि क्षत्रं जनाषाळिन्द्र तव्यम् । रक्षा च नो मघोनः पाहि सूरीन्राये च नः स्वपत्या इषे धाः
O Indra, place your favor upon us, grant us great strength and power, worthy of people; protect us, generous one, guard our leaders, and bestow wealth and mastery upon us.
दिवश्चिदस्य वरिमा वि पप्रथ इन्द्रं न मह्ना पृथिवी चन प्रति । भीमस्तुविष्माञ्चर्षणिभ्य आतपः शिशीते वज्रं तेजसे न वंसगः
Even the vastness of heaven is spread out by his greatness; the earth cannot match Indra's might. Fierce and powerful, his radiance shines among men, and his thunderbolt flashes like a blazing reed.
सो अर्णवो न नद्यः समुद्रियः प्रति गृभ्णाति विश्रिता वरीमभिः । इन्द्रः सोमस्य पीतये वृषायते सनात्स युध्म ओजसा पनस्यते
Like the oceanic rivers, he seizes wide expanses; Indra, eager for the drinking of Soma, grows strong, and with his warrior's vigor, he is praised for his power.
त्वं तमिन्द्र पर्वतं न भोजसे महो नृम्णस्य धर्मणामिरज्यसि । प्र वीर्येण देवताति चेकिते विश्वस्मा उग्रः कर्मणे पुरोहितः
You, Indra, enjoy the mountain as your own; by the law of your greatness, you are unshaken. Through your heroic deeds, you are honored among the gods; mighty, you are the foremost for every action.
स इद्वने नमस्युभिर्वचस्यते चारु जनेषु प्रब्रुवाण इन्द्रियम् । वृषा छन्दुर्भवति हर्यतो वृषा क्षेमेण धेनां मघवा यदिन्वति
He is praised in the forest by those who honor him, and his power is spoken of among people. The bull becomes radiant, the tawny one is strong; Maghavan, with prosperity, grants the cow.
स इन्महानि समिथानि मज्मना कृणोति युध्म ओजसा जनेभ्यः । अधा चन श्रद्दधति त्विषीमत इन्द्राय वज्रं निघनिघ्नते वधम्
He accomplishes great and mighty deeds in battle, granting strength to people with his warrior's force. Thus, even the bold trust in Indra's lightning, which strikes down the enemy.
स हि श्रवस्युः सदनानि कृत्रिमा क्ष्मया वृधान ओजसा विनाशयन् । ज्योतींषि कृण्वन्नवृकाणि यज्यवेऽव सुक्रतुः सर्तवा अपः सृजत्
He, renowned, destroys the built dwellings with his strength, increasing the earth's power. Creating lights for worship, the wise one, skillful, releases the waters for the journey.
दानाय मनः सोमपावन्नस्तु तेऽर्वाञ्चा हरी वन्दनश्रुदा कृधि । यमिष्ठासः सारथयो य इन्द्र ते न त्वा केता आ दभ्नुवन्ति भूर्णयः
May your mind, O Soma-drinker, be inclined to giving; make your horses, who hear praise, come near. Your charioteers, Indra, are most desired; none can hinder you, for your signs are many.
अप्रक्षितं वसु बिभर्षि हस्तयोरषाळ्हं सहस्तन्वि श्रुतो दधे । आवृतासोऽवतासो न कर्तृभिस्तनूषु ते क्रतव इन्द्र भूरयः
You bear unmeasured wealth in your hands; the renowned one has placed it upon your strong body. Covered and protected by your deeds, Indra, your powers are many within your form.
एष प्र पूर्वीरव तस्य चम्रिषोऽत्यो न योषामुदयंस्त भुर्वणिः । दक्षं महे पाययते हिरण्ययं रथमावृत्या हरियोगमृभ्वसम्
This one, like a swift horse among women, rises up, the shining one; he gives skill to the great, and with golden chariot, he circles, yoked with the tawny steeds, together with the Ribhus.
