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.
तं गूर्तयो नेमन्निषः परीणसः समुद्रं न संचरणे सनिष्यवः । पतिं दक्षस्य विदथस्य नू सहो गिरिं न वेना अधि रोह तेजसा
Hymns praise him, circling like wheels, as rivers flow to the sea; now, as lord of skill and assembly, with strength, he climbs the mountain in splendor.
स तुर्वणिर्महाँ अरेणु पौंस्ये गिरेर्भृष्टिर्न भ्राजते तुजा शवः । येन शुष्णं मायिनमायसो मदे दुध्र आभूषु रामयन्नि दामनि
He, Turvan, shines greatly in dust and vigor; his force blazes like the mountain's lightning. By whose delight, he subdued Shushna, the magician, and made the enemies rejoice.
देवी यदि तविषी त्वावृधोतय इन्द्रं सिषक्त्युषसं न सूर्यः । यो धृष्णुना शवसा बाधते तम इयर्ति रेणुं बृहदर्हरिष्वणिः
When the divine power is stirred, it urges Indra, as the dawn urges the sun. He, with bold strength, drives away darkness, raising dust, the mighty one, with roaring voice.
वि यत्तिरो धरुणमच्युतं रजोऽतिष्ठिपो दिव आतासु बर्हणा । स्वर्मीळ्हे यन्मद इन्द्र हर्ष्याहन्वृत्रं निरपामौब्जो अर्णवम्
When you spread the firm support, the sky, you stood above with your might, O Indra. In the joy of the pressed Soma, you delighted, and struck down the serpent, releasing the waters and the ocean.
त्वं दिवो धरुणं धिष ओजसा पृथिव्या इन्द्र सदनेषु माहिनः । त्वं सुतस्य मदे अरिणा अपो वि वृत्रस्य समया पाष्यारुजः
You, Indra, established the support of heaven with your strength, and the dwellings of earth with your greatness. In the joy of the pressed Soma, you broke the serpent's bonds and released the waters.
प्र मंहिष्ठाय बृहते बृहद्रये सत्यशुष्माय तवसे मतिं भरे । अपामिव प्रवणे यस्य दुर्धरं राधो विश्वायु शवसे अपावृतम्
I offer my thought to the most mighty, the great lord of vast wealth, whose true power is renowned. Like waters in a channel, his difficult gift is open to all, his strength is unconcealed.
अध ते विश्वमनु हासदिष्टय आपो निम्नेव सवना हविष्मतः । यत्पर्वते न समशीत हर्यत इन्द्रस्य वज्रः श्नथिता हिरण्ययः
Then, O universal one, all mankind rejoices at your command; the waters flow downward as at the offering, bearing oblations. When, upon the mountain, the golden thunderbolt of Indra, the delight-giver, was not restrained.
अस्मै भीमाय नमसा समध्वर उषो न शुभ्र आ भरा पनीयसे । यस्य धाम श्रवसे नामेन्द्रियं ज्योतिरकारि हरितो नायसे
To him, the awe-inspiring, we offer reverence at the sacrifice, as the radiant dawn brings forth brightness for the one to be served. Whose power, famed as Indra's, has made a light for glory, guiding the swift ones.
इमे त इन्द्र ते वयं पुरुष्टुत ये त्वारभ्य चरामसि प्रभूवसो । नहि त्वदन्यो गिर्वणो गिरः सघत्क्षोणीरिव प्रति नो हर्य तद्वचः
These, O Indra, are we—praised by many—who, relying on you, act with strength. None other than you, O singer of praises, can unite our words; as the earth is joined, so accept our speech.
भूरि त इन्द्र वीर्यं तव स्मस्यस्य स्तोतुर्मघवन्काममा पृण । अनु ते द्यौर्बृहती वीर्यं मम इयं च ते पृथिवी नेम ओजसे
Much, O Indra, is your valor; we are yours, O generous one. Fulfill the desire of the singer. The vast sky follows your might, and this earth, too, is set for your strength.
