एवा रातिस्तुवीमघ विश्वेभिर्धायि धातृभिः । अधा चिदिन्द्र मे सचा
Thus the gift, O bountiful one, is held with all the givers; then, O Indra, be with me.
मो षु ब्रह्मेव तन्द्रयुर्भुवो वाजानां पते । मत्स्वा सुतस्य गोमतः
Do not, like a priest, become weary, O lord of strength; delight in the pressed, wealth-bringing Soma.
मा न इन्द्राभ्यादिशः सूरो अक्तुष्वा यमन् । त्वा युजा वनेम तत्
Let not the commands of day or night overcome us, O Indra; with you as our ally, may we win that.
त्वयेदिन्द्र युजा वयं प्रति ब्रुवीमहि स्पृधः । त्वमस्माकं तव स्मसि
With you as ally, O Indra, may we declare our battles; you are ours, and we are yours.
त्वामिद्धि त्वायवोऽनुनोनुवतश्चरान् । सखाय इन्द्र कारवः
Indeed, it is you whom your followers, moving and staying, ever follow; O Indra, the poets are your friends.
उद्घेदभि श्रुतामघं वृषभं नर्यापसम् । अस्तारमेषि सूर्य
He has arisen, the bountiful, famed bull, lord of men; you come as the setter, O Sun.
नव यो नवतिं पुरो बिभेद बाह्वोजसा । अहिं च वृत्रहावधीत्
He who, with the strength of his arms, shattered ninety-nine fortresses anew, and slew the serpent, O slayer of Vṛtra.
स न इन्द्रः शिवः सखाश्वावद्गोमद्यवमत् । उरुधारेव दोहते
May that Indra, gracious friend, bring us horses, cattle, and barley; he milks out abundance like a broad stream.
यदद्य कच्च वृत्रहन्नुदगा अभि सूर्य । सर्वं तदिन्द्र ते वशे
Whatever, O slayer of Vṛtra, you have accomplished today or in the past, O Indra, all that is under your control.
यद्वा प्रवृद्ध सत्पते न मरा इति मन्यसे । उतो तत्सत्यमित्तव
And if, O mighty lord, you think yourself invincible and unconquered, truly, that is indeed your nature, O truthful one.
ये सोमासः परावति ये अर्वावति सुन्विरे । सर्वाँस्ताँ इन्द्र गच्छसि
Whether the Somas are pressed far away or near at hand, O Indra, you go to all of them.
तमिन्द्रं वाजयामसि महे वृत्राय हन्तवे । स वृषा वृषभो भुवत्
We urge that Indra on, to strike down the great Vṛtra; let him be the powerful, mighty bull.
इन्द्रः स दामने कृत ओजिष्ठः स मदे हितः । द्युम्नी श्लोकी स सोम्यः
Indra has been made for subduing, most vigorous, set in the exhilaration; glorious, renowned, he is the one of Soma.
गिरा वज्रो न सम्भृतः सबलो अनपच्युतः । ववक्ष ऋष्वो अस्तृतः
The thunderbolt, gathered by speech, is strong and unfailing; it has grown high, unbroken.
दुर्गे चिन्नः सुगं कृधि गृणान इन्द्र गिर्वणः । त्वं च मघवन्वशः
Even in difficulty, make an easy path for us, O Indra, lover of song; you, generous one, have the power.
यस्य ते नू चिदादिशं न मिनन्ति स्वराज्यम् । न देवो नाध्रिगुर्जनः
Whose command, even now, none can hinder—his sovereignty is not diminished, neither by god nor by powerless man.
अधा ते अप्रतिष्कुतं देवी शुष्मं सपर्यतः । उभे सुशिप्र रोदसी
Then both heaven and earth, O fair-jawed one, have honored your irresistible might, O god, as you are worshipped.
त्वमेतदधारयः कृष्णासु रोहिणीषु च । परुष्णीषु रुशत्पयः
You have supported this—among the black and the red cows, among the bright ones on the Paruṣṇī river.
वि यदहेरध त्विषो विश्वे देवासो अक्रमुः । विदन्मृगस्य ताँ अमः
When the brightness of the serpent was scattered, all the gods advanced; we have come to know the might of the beast.
आदु मे निवरो भुवद्वृत्रहादिष्ट पौंस्यम् । अजातशत्रुरस्तृतः
May the favor of the slayer of Vṛtra be with me; grant me manly strength, unconquered, never defeated.
श्रुतं वो वृत्रहन्तमं प्र शर्धं चर्षणीनाम् । आ शुषे राधसे महे
We have heard of your most renowned deeds, O slayer of Vṛtra; send forth your troop for the great reward.
अया धिया च गव्यया पुरुणामन्पुरुष्टुत । यत्सोमेसोम आभवः
With this insight and with the wealth of cattle, O much-praised one, you have become Soma among Somas.
बोधिन्मना इदस्तु नो वृत्रहा भूर्यासुतिः । शृणोतु शक्र आशिषम्
Let the slayer of Vṛtra, attentive in mind, be here for us; let Śakra hear our prayer for abundant life.
कया त्वं न ऊत्याभि प्र मन्दसे वृषन् । कया स्तोतृभ्य आ भर
With what help, O vigorous one, do you delight us? With what do you bring gifts to your singers?
कस्य वृषा सुते सचा नियुत्वान्वृषभो रणत् । वृत्रहा सोमपीतये
With whose bull, accompanied by his retinue, does the mighty one roar at the pressing, the slayer of Vṛtra, for the drinking of Soma?
अभी षु णस्त्वं रयिं मन्दसानः सहस्रिणम् । प्रयन्ता बोधि दाशुषे
May you, delighting in the Soma, bring us wealth in thousands; be the leader for the worshipper.
पत्नीवन्तः सुता इम उशन्तो यन्ति वीतये । अपां जग्मिर्निचुम्पुणः
These pressed libations, accompanied by wives, shining, go forth for the feast; they have gone to the waters, pressing downward.
इष्टा होत्रा असृक्षतेन्द्रं वृधासो अध्वरे । अच्छावभृथमोजसा
The desired offerings have flowed forth, the mighty ones at the sacrifice, toward Indra, toward the Avabhṛtha with strength.
इह त्या सधमाद्या हरी हिरण्यकेश्या । वोळ्हामभि प्रयो हितम्
Here are those two yoked together for the shared feast, the tawny steeds with golden manes, bearing the offering with speed.
तुभ्यं सोमाः सुता इमे स्तीर्णं बर्हिर्विभावसो । स्तोतृभ्य इन्द्रमा वह
For you these Somas are pressed, the strewn grass is bright, O radiant one; bring Indra here for the singers.
