एतावतस्ते वसो विद्याम शूर नव्यसः । यथा प्राव एतशं कृत्व्ये धने यथा वशं दशव्रजे
O generous one, this much of your favor we know, O mighty one, as you have brought Etaśa to success in his quest for wealth, as you have brought the ten herds under your control.
यथा कण्वे मघवन्मेधे अध्वरे दीर्घनीथे दमूनसि । यथा गोशर्ये असिषासो अद्रिवो मयि गोत्रं हरिश्रियम्
As you, O Maghavan, have done for Kaṇva in the sacrifice, in the long-lasting ritual, O subduer of enemies; as you have granted protection in the cow-stall, O stone-wielder, bestowing upon me the lineage and radiant wealth of the Hari.
यथा मनौ सांवरणौ सोममिन्द्रापिबः सुतम् । नीपातिथौ मघवन्मेध्यातिथौ पुष्टिगौ श्रुष्टिगौ सचा
As you, O Indra, drank the pressed Soma with Manu and Sāṃvaraṇa, O Maghavan, guest at the sacrifice, honored at the feast, bringing nourishment and prosperity together.
पार्षद्वाणः प्रस्कण्वं समसादयच्छयानं जिव्रिमुद्धितम् । सहस्राण्यसिषासद्गवामृषिस्त्वोतो दस्यवे वृकः
You led Praskaṇva, who was lying down, to safety, awakening him from sleep; you, bull, sought thousands of cows, strong one, wolf to the Dasyu.
य उक्थेभिर्न विन्धते चिकिद्य ऋषिचोदनः । इन्द्रं तमच्छा वद नव्यस्या मत्यरिष्यन्तं न भोजसे
He who does not find us with hymns, though urged by the seer’s inspiration—speak to him of Indra, with a new song, who is eager to bestow gifts.
यस्मा अर्कं सप्तशीर्षाणमानृचुस्त्रिधातुमुत्तमे पदे । स त्विमा विश्वा भुवनानि चिक्रददादिज्जनिष्ट पौंस्यम्
He for whom the seven-headed hymn was composed, the flawless one, in the highest abode of the triple realm—he made all these worlds resound, he first gained manly strength.
यो नो दाता वसूनामिन्द्रं तं हूमहे वयम् । विद्मा ह्यस्य सुमतिं नवीयसीं गमेम गोमति व्रजे
He who is our giver of treasures, that Indra we invoke; for we know his most recent favor—may we reach the herd rich in cows.
यस्मै त्वं वसो दानाय शिक्षसि स रायस्पोषमश्नुते । तं त्वा वयं मघवन्निन्द्र गिर्वणः सुतावन्तो हवामहे
To whom, O generous one, you grant gifts, he attains abundance of wealth; you, O Maghavan, O Indra, singer of praises, we, who have pressed Soma, call upon you.
कदा चन स्तरीरसि नेन्द्र सश्चसि दाशुषे । उपोपेन्नु मघवन्भूय इन्नु ते दानं देवस्य पृच्यते
When, O Indra, will you ever be more abundant? When will you accompany the worshipper? May your gift, O Maghavan, come again and again; your divine generosity is sought.
प्र यो ननक्षे अभ्योजसा क्रिविं वधैः शुष्णं निघोषयन् । यदेदस्तम्भीत्प्रथयन्नमूं दिवमादिज्जनिष्ट पार्थिवः
He who, with surpassing might, struck down Krivi with weapons, proclaiming the defeat of Śuṣṇa; when he propped up and spread out that distant heaven, then he first became lord of the earth.
यस्यायं विश्व आर्यो दासः शेवधिपा अरिः । तिरश्चिदर्ये रुशमे परीरवि तुभ्येत्सो अज्यते रयिः
He whose friend is every noble, every Dāsa, every ally, every foe; even among the Arya, even among the fierce, the wealth is won for you.
तुरण्यवो मधुमन्तं घृतश्चुतं विप्रासो अर्कमानृचुः । अस्मे रयिः पप्रथे वृष्ण्यं शवोऽस्मे सुवानास इन्दवः
Swiftly the inspired ones have sung the honey-sweet, ghee-flowing hymn; for us the wealth has spread, the manly power and strength, for us the Soma-draughts have been pressed, O Indra.
यथा मनौ विवस्वति सोमं शक्रापिबः सुतम् । यथा त्रिते छन्द इन्द्र जुजोषस्यायौ मादयसे सचा
As you, O Śakra, drank the pressed Soma with Manu, son of Vivasvat; as with Trita, O Indra, you delighted in the hymn, rejoicing together.
पृषध्रे मेध्ये मातरिश्वनीन्द्र सुवाने अमन्दथाः । यथा सोमं दशशिप्रे दशोण्ये स्यूमरश्मावृजूनसि
For Pṛṣadhra, for Medhya, for Mātariśvan, O Indra, you were gladdened by the pressed Soma; as you drank Soma with Daśaśipra, Daśoṇya, and Syūmaraśmi, you are straight in your ways.
य उक्था केवला दधे यः सोमं धृषितापिबत् । यस्मै विष्णुस्त्रीणि पदा विचक्रम उप मित्रस्य धर्मभिः
He who alone composed the hymns, who drank the Soma with boldness—for him Viṣṇu strode out the three steps, in accordance with the law of Mitra.
यस्य त्वमिन्द्र स्तोमेषु चाकनो वाजे वाजिञ्छतक्रतो । तं त्वा वयं सुदुघामिव गोदुहो जुहूमसि श्रवस्यवः
For whom, O Indra, you are pleased in the praises, O mighty one, in the contest for prizes—for him, like a cow yielding abundant milk, we, desiring fame, offer you.
यो नो दाता स नः पिता महाँ उग्र ईशानकृत् । अयामन्नुग्रो मघवा पुरूवसुर्गोरश्वस्य प्र दातु नः
He who is our giver, he is our father, the great, the mighty, the lordly one; may that mighty Maghavan, the much-invoked, grant us the wealth of cows and horses.
यस्मै त्वं वसो दानाय मंहसे स रायस्पोषमिन्वति । वसूयवो वसुपतिं शतक्रतुं स्तोमैरिन्द्रं हवामहे
To whom, O generous one, you grant gifts, he increases in wealth and prosperity; we, desiring riches, invoke Indra, lord of treasures, of a hundred powers, with our hymns.
कदा चन प्र युच्छस्युभे नि पासि जन्मनी । तुरीयादित्य हवनं त इन्द्रियमा तस्थावमृतं दिवि
When, O Aditya, will you ever release us? Protect both our births. May your immortal power, established in heaven, stand firm at the fourth offering.
यस्मै त्वं मघवन्निन्द्र गिर्वणः शिक्षो शिक्षसि दाशुषे । अस्माकं गिर उत सुष्टुतिं वसो कण्ववच्छृणुधी हवम्
To whom, O generous Indra, singer of praises, you grant your favor, you teach and instruct the worshipper. Hear, O treasure-giver, our songs and our excellent praise, listen to the call of the Kanvas.
अस्तावि मन्म पूर्व्यं ब्रह्मेन्द्राय वोचत । पूर्वीरृतस्य बृहतीरनूषत स्तोतुर्मेधा असृक्षत
The ancient hymn has been recited; let it be spoken for Indra. Many great praises of truth have been composed; the thoughts of the singer have flowed forth.
समिन्द्रो रायो बृहतीरधूनुत सं क्षोणी समु सूर्यम् । सं शुक्रासः शुचयः सं गवाशिरः सोमा इन्द्रममन्दिषुः
Indra has shaken forth abundant wealth; he has united the earth and the sun. The bright, pure, and strong ones, the heads of cattle, the Somas, have gladdened Indra.
उपमं त्वा मघोनां ज्येष्ठं च वृषभाणाम् । पूर्भित्तमं मघवन्निन्द्र गोविदमीशानं राय ईमहे
We invoke you, Indra, supreme among the generous, foremost among the mighty, best of the benefactors, knower of cattle, lord of wealth.
य आयुं कुत्समतिथिग्वमर्दयो वावृधानो दिवेदिवे । तं त्वा वयं हर्यश्वं शतक्रतुं वाजयन्तो हवामहे
You, who have increased the life of Kutsa, Atithigva, and others, day by day— we call you, Indra, tamer of horses, possessor of a hundred powers, with our praises.
आ नो विश्वेषां रसं मध्वः सिञ्चन्त्वद्रयः । ये परावति सुन्विरे जनेष्वा ये अर्वावतीन्दवः
Let the flowing streams pour the essence of sweetness for us— those pressed far away among peoples, and those pressed nearby, the drops of Soma.
विश्वा द्वेषांसि जहि चाव चा कृधि विश्वे सन्वन्त्वा वसु । शीष्टेषु चित्ते मदिरासो अंशवो यत्रा सोमस्य तृम्पसि
Destroy all hatreds, drive them away; let all the treasures come to us. Even among the chosen, the exhilarating portions are there where you, Indra, delight in Soma.
इन्द्र नेदीय एदिहि मितमेधाभिरूतिभिः । आ शंतम शंतमाभिरभिष्टिभिरा स्वापे स्वापिभिः
Indra, come nearer, approach with friendly thoughts and aids. With the most auspicious, with the most helpful, with the most restful, come to us.
आजितुरं सत्पतिं विश्वचर्षणिं कृधि प्रजास्वाभगम् । प्र सू तिरा शचीभिर्ये त उक्थिनः क्रतुं पुनत आनुषक्
Make us victorious, lord of the people, bring us offspring and wealth. Let those who praise you with hymns purify their strength with your powers.
यस्ते साधिष्ठोऽवसे ते स्याम भरेषु ते । वयं होत्राभिरुत देवहूतिभिः ससवांसो मनामहे
May we be those who are nearest to your help, in your battles. With our offerings and divine invocations, we seek to win your favor.
अहं हि ते हरिवो ब्रह्म वाजयुराजिं यामि सदोतिभिः । त्वामिदेव तममे समश्वयुर्गव्युरग्रे मथीनाम्
For I, O Indra, eager for strength, always go to the contest with praises. I seek you, O god, as the tamer of darkness, the tamer of horses, the foremost among the eager.
