वयं घा ते त्वे इद्विन्द्र विप्रा अपि ष्मसि । नहि त्वदन्यः पुरुहूत कश्चन मघवन्नस्ति मर्डिता
We, O Indra, are indeed your inspired singers; for apart from you, O much-invoked, there is no other generous one, no other helper.
त्वं नो अस्या अमतेरुत क्षुधोऽभिशस्तेरव स्पृधि । त्वं न ऊती तव चित्रया धिया शिक्षा शचिष्ठ गातुवित्
Drive away from us this lack, hunger, and curse; grant us your aid, and with your wondrous thought, most powerful, teach us the path.
सोम इद्वः सुतो अस्तु कलयो मा बिभीतन । अपेदेष ध्वस्मायति स्वयं घैषो अपायति
Let Soma, pressed for you, be ready; do not be afraid, O companions. The evil one departs from here, and he himself withdraws away.
त्यान्नु क्षत्रियाँ अव आदित्यान्याचिषामहे । सुमृळीकाँ अभिष्टये
Those rulers, O Ādityas, we now entreat for favor, for graciousness and blessing.
मित्रो नो अत्यंहतिं वरुणः पर्षदर्यमा । आदित्यासो यथा विदुः
May Mitra, Varuṇa, and Aryaman lead us past distress, O Ādityas, as you know how.
तेषां हि चित्रमुक्थ्यं वरूथमस्ति दाशुषे । आदित्यानामरंकृते
For theirs is a wondrous protection and shelter for the worshipper, the Ādityas, adorned with glory.
महि वो महतामवो वरुण मित्रार्यमन् । अवांस्या वृणीमहे
Great is your aid, O mighty ones—Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman; we choose your protection.
जीवान्नो अभि धेतनादित्यासः पुरा हथात् । कद्ध स्थ हवनश्रुतः
May you, Ādityas, always defend us living ones from sudden harm; you are the hearers of invocation.
यद्वः श्रान्ताय सुन्वते वरूथमस्ति यच्छर्दिः । तेना नो अधि वोचत
If there is shelter or protection for the weary one who presses Soma, grant us that, and speak in our favor.
अस्ति देवा अंहोरुर्वस्ति रत्नमनागसः । आदित्या अद्भुतैनसः
There is, O gods, a broad refuge and treasure for the innocent; the Ādityas are wondrous and sinless.
मा नः सेतुः सिषेदयं महे वृणक्तु नस्परि । इन्द्र इद्धि श्रुतो वशी
Let not the barrier restrain us; may the great one choose us for favor. Indeed, Indra is famed and powerful.
मा नो मृचा रिपूणां वृजिनानामविष्यवः । देवा अभि प्र मृक्षत
Let not the malice of enemies, nor the snares of the wicked, reach us; O gods, protect us thoroughly.
उत त्वामदिते मह्यहं देव्युप ब्रुवे । सुमृळीकामभिष्टये
And to you, O Aditi, great goddess, I address my prayer for graciousness and blessing.
पर्षि दीने गभीर आँ उग्रपुत्रे जिघांसतः । माकिस्तोकस्य नो रिषत्
Lead us out from misery, from deep distress, from those who wish to harm the fierce-born; let not harm come to our offspring.
अनेहो न उरुव्रज उरूचि वि प्रसर्तवे । कृधि तोकाय जीवसे
Like a path without obstacles, with wide space for moving forth, make it so for our children, for life.
ये मूर्धानः क्षितीनामदब्धासः स्वयशसः । व्रता रक्षन्ते अद्रुहः
Those who are the heads of peoples, faultless and self-glorious, who keep the vows and are not deceitful.
ते न आस्नो वृकाणामादित्यासो मुमोचत । स्तेनं बद्धमिवादिते
Those Ādityas release us from the bonds of the wolves, as Aditi releases the thief who is bound.
अपो षु ण इयं शरुरादित्या अप दुर्मतिः । अस्मदेत्वजघ्नुषी
May this sharp pain, O Ādityas, and evil intention be washed away from us, and the one who attacks us depart.
शश्वद्धि वः सुदानव आदित्या ऊतिभिर्वयम् । पुरा नूनं बुभुज्महे
For always, O generous Ādityas, with your aids, we have been protected in the past and now indeed.
शश्वन्तं हि प्रचेतसः प्रतियन्तं चिदेनसः । देवाः कृणुथ जीवसे
For ever, O wise ones, even against recurring sin, you gods act for our living.
तत्सु नो नव्यं सन्यस आदित्या यन्मुमोचति । बन्धाद्बद्धमिवादिते
That new release, O Ādityas, which you grant—like a bound one freed from bondage—may it be ours.
नास्माकमस्ति तत्तर आदित्यासो अतिष्कदे । यूयमस्मभ्यं मृळत
We have no power there, O Ādityas, to overstep; be gracious to us.
मा नो हेतिर्विवस्वत आदित्याः कृत्रिमा शरुः । पुरा नु जरसो वधीत्
Let not the weapon of Vivasvat, O Ādityas, nor the artificial arrow, strike us down before old age.
वि षु द्वेषो व्यंहतिमादित्यासो वि संहितम् । विष्वग्वि वृहता रपः
Dispel, O Ādityas, all hatred, all hostility, all enmity, and every great sin in every direction.
आ त्वा रथं यथोतये सुम्नाय वर्तयामसि । तुविकूर्मिमृतीषहमिन्द्र शविष्ठ सत्पते
To you we turn the chariot, as to a friend, for favor—Indra, most mighty, lord of the good, of strong frame and victorious might.
तुविशुष्म तुविक्रतो शचीवो विश्वया मते । आ पप्राथ महित्वना
Of great heat, of mighty deeds, endowed with power, by your universal wisdom you have spread forth in greatness.
यस्य ते महिना महः परि ज्मायन्तमीयतुः । हस्ता वज्रं हिरण्ययम्
By whose greatness, O mighty one, the two hands, bearing the golden thunderbolt, encircle the world.
विश्वानरस्य वस्पतिमनानतस्य शवसः । एवैश्च चर्षणीनामूती हुवे रथानाम्
Of Viśvānar, lord of wealth, unbowed in strength—of him and of the protectors of the people, I call the aid, the chariots.
अभिष्टये सदावृधं स्वर्मीळ्हेषु यं नरः । नाना हवन्त ऊतये
For prosperity, ever-growing, praised in songs, whom men invoke with various prayers for help.
परोमात्रमृचीषममिन्द्रमुग्रं सुराधसम् । ईशानं चिद्वसूनाम्
Surpassing measure, most powerful, Indra, fierce, bestower of riches, even the lord of treasures.
