अस्येदेव प्र रिरिचे महित्वं दिवस्पृथिव्याः पर्यन्तरिक्षात् । स्वराळिन्द्रो दम आ विश्वगूर्तः स्वरिरमत्रो ववक्षे रणाय
Of him alone the greatness spread forth from heaven, earth, and the midspace; Indra, famed in all abodes, took up his strength for battle, shining for victory.
अस्येदेव शवसा शुषन्तं वि वृश्चद्वज्रेण वृत्रमिन्द्रः । गा न व्राणा अवनीरमुञ्चदभि श्रवो दावने सचेताः
By his might, Indra with his thunderbolt cut apart the withering Vṛtra; like cows, he released the imprisoned waters, and, mindful, he won glory for the eager one.
अस्येदु त्वेषसा रन्त सिन्धवः परि यद्वज्रेण सीमयच्छत् । ईशानकृद्दाशुषे दशस्यन्तुर्वीतये गाधं तुर्वणिः कः
Indeed, at his mighty roar, the rivers delight, when with the thunderbolt he confines their courses; the lord, granting favor to the eager one, bestows abundance—Turvani, the swift, for the generous.
अस्मा इदु प्र भरा तूतुजानो वृत्राय वज्रमीशानः कियेधाः । गोर्न पर्व वि रदा तिरश्चेष्यन्नर्णांस्यपां चरध्यै
For him, indeed, bring forth the thunderbolt, O eager one, for slaying the foe, O lord, in many ways; with the edge of the goad, split the ridges, drive apart the waters, so that the floods may flow for our dwelling.
अस्येदु प्र ब्रूहि पूर्व्याणि तुरस्य कर्माणि नव्य उक्थैः । युधे यदिष्णान आयुधान्यृघायमाणो निरिणाति शत्रून्
Of him, indeed, speak forth the ancient deeds, the mighty acts of the powerful one, with new hymns; when, armed for battle, he takes up his weapons, fiercely striving, he scatters the enemies.
अस्येदु भिया गिरयश्च दृळ्हा द्यावा च भूमा जनुषस्तुजेते । उपो वेनस्य जोगुवान ओणिं सद्यो भुवद्वीर्याय नोधाः
At his terror, indeed, the firm mountains and the vast heavens and earth tremble at his birth; approaching the seat of the wise one, the inspired poet at once becomes endowed with strength.
अस्मा इदु त्यदनु दाय्येषामेको यद्वव्ने भूरेरीशानः । प्रैतशं सूर्ये पस्पृधानं सौवश्व्ये सुष्विमावदिन्द्रः
For him, indeed, that is to be followed among the worthy, when alone in the forest, the lord of abundance; Indra, striving with the Sun for the prize, has gained the swift horses of Suvaśva.
एवा ते हारियोजना सुवृक्तीन्द्र ब्रह्माणि गोतमासो अक्रन् । ऐषु विश्वपेशसं धियं धाः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात्
Thus, for you, O Indra, the Harijanas, the Gotamas, have composed splendid hymns; upon these, place all-encompassing insight—may the wise one come swiftly at dawn with understanding.
प्र मन्महे शवसानाय शूषमाङ्गूषं गिर्वणसे अङ्गिरस्वत् । सुवृक्तिभि स्तुवत ऋग्मियायार्चामार्कं नरे विश्रुताय
We offer our hymn to the mighty, the strong, a song of praise to the singer, the descendant of Angiras; with well-formed verses, let us praise the ancient, let us sing a hymn to the renowned hero.
प्र वो महे महि नमो भरध्वमाङ्गूष्यं शवसानाय साम । येना नः पूर्वे पितरः पदज्ञा अर्चन्तो अङ्गिरसो गा अविन्दन्
Bring your great homage to the mighty, offer your song of praise to the powerful one; by this, our forefathers, the Angirases, knowing the path, found the cows through their hymns.
इन्द्रस्याङ्गिरसां चेष्टौ विदत्सरमा तनयाय धासिम् । बृहस्पतिर्भिनदद्रिं विदद्गाः समुस्रियाभिर्वावशन्त नरः
In the striving of Indra and the Angirases, Sarama discovered the cattle for her offspring; Brihaspati split the rock, revealed the cows, and the men rejoiced with the dawns.
स सुष्टुभा स स्तुभा सप्त विप्रैः स्वरेणाद्रिं स्वर्यो नवग्वैः । सरण्युभिः फलिगमिन्द्र शक्र वलं रवेण दरयो दशग्वैः
With the Suṣṭubh and Stoma, with seven wise ones, with the sound, the strong one broke the rock with the nine singers; with the swift ones, O Indra, O mighty, you shattered Vala with the ten singers and your roar.
गृणानो अङ्गिरोभिर्दस्म वि वरुषसा सूर्येण गोभिरन्धः । वि भूम्या अप्रथय इन्द्र सानु दिवो रज उपरमस्तभायः
Praising with the Angirases, O wondrous one, you, with the Sun and the cows, dispelled the darkness; you spread out the earth's surface, O Indra, and held up the expanse of the sky to be unshaken.
तदु प्रयक्षतममस्य कर्म दस्मस्य चारुतममस्ति दंसः । उपह्वरे यदुपरा अपिन्वन्मध्वर्णसो नद्यश्चतस्रः
That most manifest deed of his is visible, the most beautiful of the wondrous one's powers; at the meeting place, the four rivers, rich in honey, overflowed.
द्विता वि वव्रे सनजा सनीळे अयास्य स्तवमानेभिरर्कैः । भगो न मेने परमे व्योमन्नधारयद्रोदसी सुदंसाः
Twice he opened the ancient, hidden enclosure with hymns sung by the eager ones; Bhaga did not consider in the highest heaven, but the mighty ones supported earth and sky.
सनाद्दिवं परि भूमा विरूपे पुनर्भुवा युवती स्वेभिरेवैः । कृष्णेभिरक्तोषा रुशद्भिर्वपुर्भिरा चरतो अन्यान्या
From ancient times, the vast earth and the diverse heavens have circled, ever renewed, with their own forms; the dawns, dark and red, move with shining and varied forms, each following the other.
सनेमि सख्यं स्वपस्यमानः सूनुर्दाधार शवसा सुदंसाः । आमासु चिद्दधिषे पक्वमन्तः पयः कृष्णासु रुशद्रोहिणीषु
The son, observing friendship from of old, upheld with might and wisdom; even among them you placed the ripe (milk), the milk in the black and the red, fertile ones.
सनात्सनीळा अवनीरवाता व्रता रक्षन्ते अमृताः सहोभिः । पुरू सहस्रा जनयो न पत्नीर्दुवस्यन्ति स्वसारो अह्रयाणम्
From ancient times, the lowlands and heights, the winds, the immortal ones, uphold the laws with their might; many thousands, like wives, the sisters, unwearied, honor the unaging one.
सनायुवो नमसा नव्यो अर्कैर्वसूयवो मतयो दस्म दद्रुः । पतिं न पत्नीरुशतीरुशन्तं स्पृशन्ति त्वा शवसावन्मनीषाः
From ancient times, the youthful ones, with reverence and new hymns, have approached the wondrous one, desiring wealth; like wives to a lord, the shining, radiant ones touch you with might and with thought.
सनादेव तव रायो गभस्तौ न क्षीयन्ते नोप दस्यन्ति दस्म । द्युमाँ असि क्रतुमाँ इन्द्र धीरः शिक्षा शचीवस्तव नः शचीभिः
From ancient times, O wondrous one, your riches in your hands do not diminish nor are they exhausted; you are resplendent, wise, O Indra, steadfast—grant us skill, like your own, with your powers.
सनायते गोतम इन्द्र नव्यमतक्षद्ब्रह्म हरियोजनाय । सुनीथाय नः शवसान नोधाः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात्
O Indra, the hymn of Gotama is renewed for you; may the prayer be fashioned for the tawny-yoked one. With your strength, O powerful one, guide us well; may the wise, generous one swiftly come to us at dawn.
त्वं महाँ इन्द्र यो ह शुष्मैर्द्यावा जज्ञानः पृथिवी अमे धाः । यद्ध ते विश्वा गिरयश्चिदभ्वा भिया दृळ्हासः किरणा नैजन्
You, O mighty Indra, by your powers, brought forth heaven and established the earth. When you, with your force, shattered even the mountains, the firm ones trembled in fear, as if loosened.
आ यद्धरी इन्द्र विव्रता वेरा ते वज्रं जरिता बाह्वोर्धात् । येनाविहर्यतक्रतो अमित्रान्पुर इष्णासि पुरुहूत पूर्वीः
When your two steeds, O Indra, are harnessed, the singer places the bolt in your hands. With it, O unconquered one, you, much-invoked, have destroyed many enemy fortresses.
त्वं सत्य इन्द्र धृष्णुरेतान्त्वमृभुक्षा नर्यस्त्वं षाट् । त्वं शुष्णं वृजने पृक्ष आणौ यूने कुत्साय द्युमते सचाहन्
You are true, O Indra, bold in your deeds; you are the enjoyer of offerings, the heroic one, the strong. You struck down Śuṣṇa in the field, and, young, you aided Kutsā, the shining one, in battle.
त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र चोदीः सखा वृत्रं यद्वज्रिन्वृषकर्मन्नुभ्नाः । यद्ध शूर वृषमणः पराचैर्वि दस्यूँर्योनावकृतो वृथाषाट्
You indeed, O Indra, urged on by friends, O wielder of the bolt, mighty in action, struck down Vṛtra. O hero, when you, eager for battle, turned the Dasyus away, you scattered them like loosened chaff.
त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्रारिषण्यन्दृळ्हस्य चिन्मर्तानामजुष्टौ । व्यस्मदा काष्ठा अर्वते वर्घनेव वज्रिञ्छ्नथिह्यमित्रान्
You, O Indra, are the destroyer of the hostile, even of the strong among mortals who are not favored. You, O wielder of the bolt, have cut down our foes for us, as a woodcutter fells trees.
त्वां ह त्यदिन्द्रार्णसातौ स्वर्मीळ्हे नर आजा हवन्ते । तव स्वधाव इयमा समर्य ऊतिर्वाजेष्वतसाय्या भूत्
You, O Indra, are invoked by men in the contest for wealth, in the desire for glory. By your own power, may this aid be ours in the struggle, may your favor be unfailing in our battles.
त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र सप्त युध्यन्पुरो वज्रिन्पुरुकुत्साय दर्दः । बर्हिर्न यत्सुदासे वृथा वर्गंहो राजन्वरिवः पूरवे कः
You, O Indra, when fighting, shattered seven fortresses for Purukutsa with your bolt. As you did for Sudās, you scattered the hostile band, O king, granting wide space for Pūru.
त्वं त्यां न इन्द्र देव चित्रामिषमापो न पीपयः परिज्मन् । यया शूर प्रत्यस्मभ्यं यंसि त्मनमूर्जं न विश्वध क्षरध्यै
You, O Indra, have filled these shining gifts for us, like waters, O god, in their course. With these, O hero, you protect us on all sides; may your strength, like nourishment, flow for our well-being.
अकारि त इन्द्र गोतमेभिर्ब्रह्माण्योक्ता नमसा हरिभ्याम् । सुपेशसं वाजमा भरा नः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात्
For you, O Indra, these hymns have been composed by the Gotamas, spoken with reverence for your steeds. Bring us splendid wealth; may the wise, generous one swiftly come to us at dawn.
