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.
त्वं तमिन्द्र पर्वतं महामुरुं वज्रेण वज्रिन्पर्वशश्चकर्तिथ । अवासृजो निवृताः सर्तवा अपः सत्रा विश्वं दधिषे केवलं सहः
You, O Indra, with your thunderbolt, have cleaved that great, broad mountain, O wielder of the thunder. You released the confined waters to flow; with all your power, you have established the whole.
नू चित्सहोजा अमृतो नि तुन्दते होता यद्दूतो अभवद्विवस्वतः । वि साधिष्ठेभिः पथिभी रजो मम आ देवताता हविषा विवासति
Now, the immortal, born of strength, stirs not; when he became the priest and messenger of Vivasvat. He moves through the paths set by the gods, spreading the offering with devotion.
आ स्वमद्म युवमानो अजरस्तृष्वविष्यन्नतसेषु तिष्ठति । अत्यो न पृष्ठं प्रुषितस्य रोचते दिवो न सानु स्तनयन्नचिक्रदत्
He, youthful and ageless, comes to his own, thirsting, standing among the fires. Like a horse, his back shines with moisture; like thunder on the mountain's summit, he resounds.
क्राणा रुद्रेभिर्वसुभिः पुरोहितो होता निषत्तो रयिषाळमर्त्यः । रथो न विक्ष्वृञ्जसान आयुषु व्यानुषग्वार्या देव ऋण्वति
He, fierce with Rudras and Vasus, is the chief priest, seated for wealth among mortals. Like a chariot moving swiftly in the races, the god brings forth desirable things for life.
वि वातजूतो अतसेषु तिष्ठते वृथा जुहूभिः सृण्या तुविष्वणिः । तृषु यदग्ने वनिनो वृषायसे कृष्णं त एम रुशदूर्मे अजर
Driven by wind, he stands among the fires, powerful, with empty ladles, making noise. When, O Agni, you, the bull among the woods, shine, the black one becomes the bright, ageless wool.
तपुर्जम्भो वन आ वातचोदितो यूथे न साह्वाँ अव वाति वंसगः । अभिव्रजन्नक्षितं पाजसा रज स्थातुश्चरथं भयते पतत्रिणः
The roaring flame, stirred by wind, moves through the forest; like leaders in a herd, it blows down the bamboo. Moving forward, it traverses the path with strength, frightening the birds from their resting and flying places.
दधुष्ट्वा भृगवो मानुषेष्वा रयिं न चारुं सुहवं जनेभ्यः । होतारमग्ने अतिथिं वरेण्यं मित्रं न शेवं दिव्याय जन्मने
The Bhṛgus have established you among men, like wealth, lovely and well-invoked for the people. As the priest, O Agni, as the honored guest, as a friend, you are auspicious for the divine birth.
होतारं सप्त जुह्वो यजिष्ठं यं वाघतो वृणते अध्वरेषु । अग्निं विश्वेषामरतिं वसूनां सपर्यामि प्रयसा यामि रत्नम्
The seven ladles choose the most worthy priest, whom the worshippers select at the sacrifices. Agni, the delight of all the Vasus, I honor with devotion and seek the treasure.
अच्छिद्रा सूनो सहसो नो अद्य स्तोतृभ्यो मित्रमहः शर्म यच्छ । अग्ने गृणन्तमंहस उरुष्योर्जो नपात्पूर्भिरायसीभिः
O son of strength, grant us today, for the singers, unbroken, friendly protection. Agni, praised, free from distress, wide in power, O son of energy, with your ancestors.
भवा वरूथं गृणते विभावो भवा मघवन्मघवद्भ्यः शर्म । उरुष्याग्ने अंहसो गृणन्तं प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात्
Be a shelter for the singer, O radiant one; be protection for the generous among the generous. Widely, O Agni, shield the singer from distress; in the morning, may the wise one come with thought.
