नूत्ना इदिन्द्र ते वयमूती अभूम नहि नू ते अद्रिवः । विद्मा पुरा परीणसः
O Indra, we have now become your new companions, O stone-wielder; we did not know you before, nor your ancient ways.
विद्मा सखित्वमुत शूर भोज्यमा ते ता वज्रिन्नीमहे । उतो समस्मिन्ना शिशीहि नो वसो वाजे सुशिप्र गोमति
We know your friendship, O hero, and the enjoyment you grant; for this, O thunderer, we seek you. Shine upon us here, O gracious one, in the contest for the prize, O fair-cheeked, among the cattle.
यो न इदमिदं पुरा प्र वस्य आनिनाय तमु व स्तुषे । सखाय इन्द्रमूतये
He who formerly brought us this wealth, him we praise; as friends, we seek Indra for help.
हर्यश्वं सत्पतिं चर्षणीसहं स हि ष्मा यो अमन्दत । आ तु नः स वयति गव्यमश्व्यं स्तोतृभ्यो मघवा शतम्
The lord of the good, with tawny steeds, who delights the people—he indeed brings us cattle and horses, O generous one, a hundred for the singers.
त्वया ह स्विद्युजा वयं प्रति श्वसन्तं वृषभ ब्रुवीमहि । संस्थे जनस्य गोमतः
With you, O bull, with your might, we speak to the breathing one; in the assembly of the people rich in cattle.
जयेम कारे पुरुहूत कारिणोऽभि तिष्ठेम दूढ्यः । नृभिर्वृत्रं हन्याम शूशुयाम चावेरिन्द्र प्र णो धियः
May we, O much-invoked, be victorious in the contest, as doers; may we stand firm in the struggle. With men, may we slay the foe, may we hear, and O Indra, guide our thoughts.
अभ्रातृव्यो अना त्वमनापिरिन्द्र जनुषा सनादसि । युधेदापित्वमिच्छसे
You are without kin, without enmity, O Indra, from birth you are independent; you desire to seek out conflict.
नकी रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः । यदा कृणोषि नदनुं समूहस्यादित्पितेव हूयसे
You do not find a wealthy one for friendship; your strong horses drink. When you gather the stream, you are invoked like a father.
मा ते अमाजुरो यथा मूरास इन्द्र सख्ये त्वावतः । नि षदाम सचा सुते
Let not your companions be weak, nor foolish, O Indra, in your friendship; let us sit together at the offering.
मा ते गोदत्र निरराम राधस इन्द्र मा ते गृहामहि । दृळ्हा चिदर्यः प्र मृशाभ्या भर न ते दामान आदभे
Let not your gift of cattle depart from us, O Indra, nor let us lose your favor. Even the firm ones, O lord, you shake; bring us your rewards, for I do not seize them from you.
इन्द्रो वा घेदियन्मघं सरस्वती वा सुभगा ददिर्वसु । त्वं वा चित्र दाशुषे
Indra may give wealth, or Sarasvati, the gracious one, may bestow riches; or you, O splendid one, to the worshipper.
चित्र इद्राजा राजका इदन्यके यके सरस्वतीमनु । पर्जन्य इव ततनद्धि वृष्ट्या सहस्रमयुता ददत्
Splendid is the king, and so are the other kings, who follow Sarasvati. Like Parjanya, he stretches forth with rain, giving thousands and tens of thousands.
ओ त्यमह्व आ रथमद्या दंसिष्ठमूतये । यमश्विना सुहवा रुद्रवर्तनी आ सूर्यायै तस्थथुः
Here I call today the swift chariot for help; the two Ashvins, well-invoked, with Rudra's ways, have stood for Surya.
पूर्वायुषं सुहवं पुरुस्पृहं भुज्युं वाजेषु पूर्व्यम् । सचनावन्तं सुमतिभिः सोभरे विद्वेषसमनेहसम्
Bhujyu, of ancient life, well-invoked, much-desired, foremost in contests, accompanied by your favor, is protected by you, free from hatred and harm.
इह त्या पुरुभूतमा देवा नमोभिरश्विना । अर्वाचीना स्ववसे करामहे गन्तारा दाशुषो गृहम्
Here, O Ashvins, you who are abundant, gods, with reverence, we call you near for your help; may you come to the worshipper's house.
युवो रथस्य परि चक्रमीयत ईर्मान्यद्वामिषण्यति । अस्माँ अच्छा सुमतिर्वां शुभस्पती आ धेनुरिव धावतु
Around your chariot the wheels turn; whatever you desire, that is fulfilled. May your favor, O lords of beauty, rush to us like a cow to her calf.
रथो यो वां त्रिवन्धुरो हिरण्याभीशुरश्विना । परि द्यावापृथिवी भूषति श्रुतस्तेन नासत्या गतम्
Your chariot, O Ashvins, with three supports, with golden reins, circles heaven and earth; with it, O Nasatyas, come, for it is renowned.
दशस्यन्ता मनवे पूर्व्यं दिवि यवं वृकेण कर्षथः । ता वामद्य सुमतिभिः शुभस्पती अश्विना प्र स्तुवीमहि
You grant ancient favor to Manu; in heaven you draw barley with the wolf. Today, with your favor, O lords of beauty, O Ashvins, we praise you.
उप नो वाजिनीवसू यातमृतस्य पथिभिः । येभिस्तृक्षिं वृषणा त्रासदस्यवं महे क्षत्राय जिन्वथः
Come to us, O Lords of the swift steeds, by the paths of truth, by which you, O mighty ones, have driven forth Trisiras and Trasadasyu for great dominion.
अयं वामद्रिभिः सुतः सोमो नरा वृषण्वसू । आ यातं सोमपीतये पिबतं दाशुषो गृहे
Here is the Soma pressed with stones for you, O vigorous ones, O men of abundant wealth; come for the drinking of Soma, drink in the house of the worshipper.
आ हि रुहतमश्विना रथे कोशे हिरण्यये वृषण्वसू । युञ्जाथां पीवरीरिषः
Ascend, O Ashvins, your chariot, rich in wealth, with golden box; harness the nourishing gifts.
याभिः पक्थमवथो याभिरध्रिगुं याभिर्बभ्रुं विजोषसम् । ताभिर्नो मक्षू तूयमश्विना गतं भिषज्यतं यदातुरम्
With those means by which you saved Paktha, by which you saved Adhrigu, by which you saved Babhru, free from harm— with those, O Ashvins, come swiftly to us, heal and cure the afflicted.
यदध्रिगावो अध्रिगू इदा चिदह्नो अश्विना हवामहे । वयं गीर्भिर्विपन्यवः
When the Adhrigu cows, O Ashvins, even today, we call upon you; we, skillful in song, with our hymns.
ताभिरा यातं वृषणोप मे हवं विश्वप्सुं विश्ववार्यम् । इषा मंहिष्ठा पुरुभूतमा नरा याभिः क्रिविं वावृधुस्ताभिरा गतम्
With those means, O vigorous ones, come here to my call, all-encompassing, all-powerful; with the greatest nourishment, O men, with which you made Krivi prosper, with those come here.
ताविदा चिदहानां तावश्विना वन्दमान उप ब्रुवे । ता उ नमोभिरीमहे
With those very means, O Ashvins, I, the one who praises, call upon you even today; to those I bow with reverence.
ताविद्दोषा ता उषसि शुभस्पती ता यामन्रुद्रवर्तनी । मा नो मर्ताय रिपवे वाजिनीवसू परो रुद्रावति ख्यतम्
With those at dawn, with those at sunrise, O lords of beauty, with those at the journey, O Rudra-turning ones; do not let us, O Lords of the swift steeds, be known to mortal foe or to the wrathful Rudra.
आ सुग्म्याय सुग्म्यं प्राता रथेनाश्विना वा सक्षणी । हुवे पितेव सोभरी
For the easy path, to the easy-going one, at morning, with your chariot, O Ashvins, or with your powers, I call as a loving son calls his father.
मनोजवसा वृषणा मदच्युता मक्षुंगमाभिरूतिभिः । आरात्ताच्चिद्भूतमस्मे अवसे पूर्वीभिः पुरुभोजसा
With mind-swiftness, O vigorous ones, full of delight, coming swiftly with your aids, even from afar, come to us for help, with your many, much-enjoyed gifts.
आ नो अश्वावदश्विना वर्तिर्यासिष्टं मधुपातमा नरा । गोमद्दस्रा हिरण्यवत्
Come to us, O Ashvins, with a path full of horses, O honey-drinkers, O men; with cows, O wondrous ones, with gold.
सुप्रावर्गं सुवीर्यं सुष्ठु वार्यमनाधृष्टं रक्षस्विना । अस्मिन्ना वामायाने वाजिनीवसू विश्वा वामानि धीमहि
With excellent reward, with excellent heroism, with excellent wealth, unconquered by the evil one; in this coming of yours, O Lords of the swift steeds, may we obtain all your blessings.
