शं नो भव हृद आ पीत इन्दो पितेव सोम सूनवे सुशेवः । सखेव सख्य उरुशंस धीरः प्र ण आयुर्जीवसे सोम तारीः
Be gracious to us, O Soma, when drunk, from the heart; like a father to his son, be kindly, O Soma; like a wise friend to a friend, O much-praised, carry us across to long life, O Soma.
इमे मा पीता यशस उरुष्यवो रथं न गावः समनाह पर्वसु । ते मा रक्षन्तु विस्रसश्चरित्रादुत मा स्रामाद्यवयन्त्विन्दवः
These, my drinkers, glorious, mighty, like horses harnessed to a chariot at the joints, may they protect me from loss of character, and may the drops of Soma keep me from exhaustion.
अग्निं न मा मथितं सं दिदीपः प्र चक्षय कृणुहि वस्यसो नः । अथा हि ते मद आ सोम मन्ये रेवाँ इव प्र चरा पुष्टिमच्छ
Like fire kindled, shine forth for me, do not diminish our wealth; for your exhilaration, O Soma, I consider to be like prosperity—move forward to abundance.
इषिरेण ते मनसा सुतस्य भक्षीमहि पित्र्यस्येव रायः । सोम राजन्प्र ण आयूंषि तारीरहानीव सूर्यो वासराणि
With eager mind, may we partake of your pressed juice, as of ancestral wealth; O Soma, king, carry us across to long life, as the sun carries the days.
सोम राजन्मृळया नः स्वस्ति तव स्मसि व्रत्यास्तस्य विद्धि । अलर्ति दक्ष उत मन्युरिन्दो मा नो अर्यो अनुकामं परा दाः
O Soma, king, grant us well-being; we are devoted to your command—know this. May skill and strength, O Indu, not fail us; do not let the noble one drive us away at will.
त्वं हि नस्तन्वः सोम गोपा गात्रेगात्रे निषसत्था नृचक्षाः । यत्ते वयं प्रमिनाम व्रतानि स नो मृळ सुषखा देव वस्यः
You, O Soma, are the guardian of our bodies, sitting in every limb, all-seeing. If we have transgressed your laws, be gracious to us, O good friend, O god, for well-being.
ऋदूदरेण सख्या सचेय यो मा न रिष्येद्धर्यश्व पीतः । अयं यः सोमो न्यधाय्यस्मे तस्मा इन्द्रं प्रतिरमेम्यायुः
With a generous heart may we share friendship with him who, O golden-hued, would not harm me when drunk; this Soma which has been poured for us, for that I seek Indra, that he may restore our life.
अप त्या अस्थुरनिरा अमीवा निरत्रसन्तमिषीचीरभैषुः । आ सोमो अस्माँ अरुहद्विहाया अगन्म यत्र प्रतिरन्त आयुः
Let those hostile ones, powerless, depart; let diseases flee far away; O Soma, ascend to us with help—let us go where life is renewed.
यो न इन्दुः पितरो हृत्सु पीतोऽमर्त्यो मर्त्याँ आविवेश । तस्मै सोमाय हविषा विधेम मृळीके अस्य सुमतौ स्याम
That drop, O Soma, which our fathers drank in their hearts, the immortal entered mortals; to that Soma we offer with oblation—may we be in his gracious favor.
त्वं सोम पितृभिः संविदानोऽनु द्यावापृथिवी आ ततन्थ । तस्मै त इन्दो हविषा विधेम वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणाम्
You, Soma, united with the fathers, have stretched out to heaven and earth; to that Indu we offer with oblation—may we be masters of riches.
त्रातारो देवा अधि वोचता नो मा नो निद्रा ईशत मोत जल्पिः । वयं सोमस्य विश्वह प्रियासः सुवीरासो विदथमा वदेम
O gods, declare yourselves our protectors; let not sleep or slander rule over us. May we, ever dear to Soma, strong, speak forth in the assembly.
त्वं नः सोम विश्वतो वयोधास्त्वं स्वर्विदा विशा नृचक्षाः । त्वं न इन्द ऊतिभिः सजोषाः पाहि पश्चातादुत वा पुरस्तात्
You, Soma, are the giver of all life for us; you, all-seeing, bring light to the peoples. You, O Indu, together with your aids, protect us from behind and also from before.
अभि प्र वः सुराधसमिन्द्रमर्च यथा विदे । यो जरितृभ्यो मघवा पुरूवसुः सहस्रेणेव शिक्षति
Raise your voices to praise Indra, the generous lord, as is fitting, who, as the bountiful Maghavan, grants to the singers abundant wealth, as if by the thousand.
शतानीकेव प्र जिगाति धृष्णुया हन्ति वृत्राणि दाशुषे । गिरेरिव प्र रसा अस्य पिन्विरे दत्राणि पुरुभोजसः
Like one with a hundred followers, he advances boldly, striking down obstacles for the worshipper; his gifts, rich and plentiful, flow forth like streams from a mountain.
आ त्वा सुतास इन्दवो मदा य इन्द्र गिर्वणः । आपो न वज्रिन्नन्वोक्यं सरः पृणन्ति शूर राधसे
To you, Indra, the pressed Soma flows, O singer of praises; like waters filling a lake, O hero, the offerings fill your strength.
अनेहसं प्रतरणं विवक्षणं मध्वः स्वादिष्ठमीं पिब । आ यथा मन्दसानः किरासि नः प्र क्षुद्रेव त्मना धृषत्
Drink the sweetest, most delightful honey, free from sin, crossing over to us; come to us, as you are pleased, with your own power, like one who is bold, overcoming the small with your might.
आ न स्तोममुप द्रवद्धियानो अश्वो न सोतृभिः । यं ते स्वधावन्स्वदयन्ति धेनव इन्द्र कण्वेषु रातयः
Our hymn approaches you swiftly, like a horse with its riders; the gifts that your own nature delights in, O Indra, are bestowed among the Kanvas, like cows giving milk.
उग्रं न वीरं नमसोप सेदिम विभूतिमक्षितावसुम् । उद्रीव वज्रिन्नवतो न सिञ्चते क्षरन्तीन्द्र धीतयः
We approach the mighty hero with reverence, the unfailing, abundant lord; like water pouring from a vessel, O wielder of the thunderbolt, your thoughts flow forth, Indra.
यद्ध नूनं यद्वा यज्ञे यद्वा पृथिव्यामधि । अतो नो यज्ञमाशुभिर्महेमत उग्र उग्रेभिरा गहि
Whether now, or in sacrifice, or upon the earth, come to our offering swiftly, O mighty one, with your mighty companions.
अजिरासो हरयो ये त आशवो वाता इव प्रसक्षिणः । येभिरपत्यं मनुषः परीयसे येभिर्विश्वं स्वर्दृशे
Your horses are swift, your steeds are eager, moving like the wind; with them you encompass the offspring of man, with them you behold all the heavens.
एतावतस्त ईमह इन्द्र सुम्नस्य गोमतः । यथा प्रावो मघवन्मेध्यातिथिं यथा नीपातिथिं धने
With these, O Indra, we seek your favor, rich in cows; as you have protected the generous guest, as you have guarded the guest in wealth.
यथा कण्वे मघवन्त्रसदस्यवि यथा पक्थे दशव्रजे । यथा गोशर्ये असनोरृजिश्वनीन्द्र गोमद्धिरण्यवत्
As you, Maghavan, have done for Kanva in the assembly, as for Paktha in the ten clans, as for Gosarya and Asana, O Indra, with wealth of cows and gold.
प्र सु श्रुतं सुराधसमर्चा शक्रमभिष्टये । यः सुन्वते स्तुवते काम्यं वसु सहस्रेणेव मंहते
Sing forth the renowned, generous lord, Shakra, for your desire; he who is praised by the one who presses and sings, the desired wealth, is honored as if by the thousand.
शतानीका हेतयो अस्य दुष्टरा इन्द्रस्य समिषो महीः । गिरिर्न भुज्मा मघवत्सु पिन्वते यदीं सुता अमन्दिषुः
His mighty deeds, difficult to overcome, belong to Indra, whose powers are vast; like a mountain, his riches flow among the generous, when the pressed Soma delights him.
यदीं सुतास इन्दवोऽभि प्रियममन्दिषुः । आपो न धायि सवनं म आ वसो दुघा इवोप दाशुषे
When the pressed Soma flows to delight him, O beloved Indra, the waters pour into the offering place, O lord, like milch cows to the worshipper.
अनेहसं वो हवमानमूतये मध्वः क्षरन्ति धीतयः । आ त्वा वसो हवमानास इन्दव उप स्तोत्रेषु दधिरे
For the sinless, the invoked, the thoughts pour forth honey; to you, O lord, the invoked Soma streams, and the praises are set before you.
आ नः सोमे स्वध्वर इयानो अत्यो न तोशते । यं ते स्वदावन्स्वदन्ति गूर्तयः पौरे छन्दयसे हवम्
May the Soma, with its proper rites, come to us, like a horse delighting in its riders; the songs that your nature delights in, O Indra, are praised in the city, as you choose the invocation.
प्र वीरमुग्रं विविचिं धनस्पृतं विभूतिं राधसो महः । उद्रीव वज्रिन्नवतो वसुत्वना सदा पीपेथ दाशुषे
Proclaim the mighty, fierce, discerning, wealth-giving lord, the glory of great generosity; like water pouring from a vessel, O thunderbolt wielder, may you always nourish the worshipper with wealth.
यद्ध नूनं परावति यद्वा पृथिव्यां दिवि । युजान इन्द्र हरिभिर्महेमत ऋष्व ऋष्वेभिरा गहि
Whether now, in distant lands, or on earth, or in heaven, harness your horses, Indra, and come swiftly, exalted one, with your exalted companions.
रथिरासो हरयो ये ते अस्रिध ओजो वातस्य पिप्रति । येभिर्नि दस्युं मनुषो निघोषयो येभिः स्वः परीयसे
Your horses are chariot-bearers, O Indra, unwearied, their strength surpasses the wind; with them you strike down the enemy of men, with them you encompass the heavens.
