विश्वाः पृतना अभिभूतरं नरं सजूस्ततक्षुरिन्द्रं जजनुश्च राजसे । क्रत्वा वरिष्ठं वर आमुरिमुतोग्रमोजिष्ठं तवसं तरस्विनम्
All the hosts of men have fashioned Indra, the victorious one, to be their king; most excellent in resolve, best of gifts, mighty, most powerful, strong and energetic.
समीं रेभासो अस्वरन्निन्द्रं सोमस्य पीतये । स्वर्पतिं यदीं वृधे धृतव्रतो ह्योजसा समूतिभिः
The singers have raised their voices together for Indra to drink Soma; when he grows strong as lord of light, steadfast in vow, he comes with his powers.
नेमिं नमन्ति चक्षसा मेषं विप्रा अभिस्वरा । सुदीतयो वो अद्रुहोऽपि कर्णे तरस्विनः समृक्वभिः
The spokes bow with sight, the inspired ones raise their voices; may your praisers, free from harm, with good intentions, approach your ears with their songs, O mighty one.
तमिन्द्रं जोहवीमि मघवानमुग्रं सत्रा दधानमप्रतिष्कुतं शवांसि । मंहिष्ठो गीर्भिरा च यज्ञियो ववर्तद्राये नो विश्वा सुपथा कृणोतु वज्री
I call upon that Indra, the generous, the mighty, who upholds all powers, who cannot be restrained; most great with hymns, worthy of sacrifice, may the wielder of the bolt make all our paths easy.
त्वं पुर इन्द्र चिकिदेना व्योजसा शविष्ठ शक्र नाशयध्यै । त्वद्विश्वानि भुवनानि वज्रिन्द्यावा रेजेते पृथिवी च भीषा
You, Indra, have destroyed ancient fortresses with your might, O most powerful, O Shakra, for their ruin; by you, O bolt-wielder, all the worlds tremble—heaven and earth shake in fear.
तन्म ऋतमिन्द्र शूर चित्र पात्वपो न वज्रिन्दुरिताति पर्षि भूरि । कदा न इन्द्र राय आ दशस्येर्विश्वप्स्न्यस्य स्पृहयाय्यस्य राजन्
May that truth, O Indra, O heroic one, protect us—like water, O bolt-wielder, drive away all harm; when, O Indra, will you grant us wealth, O king, of all-encompassing, desirable abundance?
इन्द्राय साम गायत विप्राय बृहते बृहत् । धर्मकृते विपश्चिते पनस्यवे
Sing a chant for Indra, the wise, the great, vast in greatness, who acts according to law, who sees clearly, who is worthy of praise.
त्वमिन्द्राभिभूरसि त्वं सूर्यमरोचयः । विश्वकर्मा विश्वदेवो महाँ असि
You, Indra, are all-conquering; you made the sun shine; you are the maker of all, the god of all, you are great.
विभ्राजञ्ज्योतिषा स्वरगच्छो रोचनं दिवः । देवास्त इन्द्र सख्याय येमिरे
Shining with light, go to the radiant realm of heaven; O Indra, the gods have chosen you for friendship.
एन्द्र नो गधि प्रियः सत्राजिदगोह्यः । गिरिर्न विश्वतस्पृथुः पतिर्दिवः
Indra, may our dear desire reach you, O Satrājit, unconcealed, broad as a mountain on every side, lord of heaven.
अभि हि सत्य सोमपा उभे बभूथ रोदसी । इन्द्रासि सुन्वतो वृधः पतिर्दिवः
For truly, O true Soma-drinker, you have become both the earth and the sky; Indra, you are the mighty one of the one who presses Soma, lord of heaven.
त्वं हि शश्वतीनामिन्द्र दर्ता पुरामसि । हन्ता दस्योर्मनोर्वृधः पतिर्दिवः
You, Indra, are the destroyer of ancient cities, always; you are the slayer of the Dasyu, O powerful one, lord of heaven.
अधा हीन्द्र गिर्वण उप त्वा कामान्महः ससृज्महे । उदेव यन्त उदभिः
Therefore, O Indra, lover of song, we send forth our desires to you for greatness; let the gods come with gifts of water.
वार्ण त्वा यव्याभिर्वर्धन्ति शूर ब्रह्माणि । वावृध्वांसं चिदद्रिवो दिवेदिवे
With hymns of praise, O hero, the prayers strengthen you; even you, O stone-splitter, ever growing, day by day.
युञ्जन्ति हरी इषिरस्य गाथयोरौ रथ उरुयुगे । इन्द्रवाहा वचोयुजा
They yoke the two bays to the song of the eager one, to the wide-yoked chariot; Indra-drawn, yoked by speech.
त्वं न इन्द्रा भरँ ओजो नृम्णं शतक्रतो विचर्षणे । आ वीरं पृतनाषहम्
You, Indra, bring us strength and manliness, O hundred-powered, among men; bring a hero who conquers in battle.
त्वं हि नः पिता वसो त्वं माता शतक्रतो बभूविथ । अधा ते सुम्नमीमहे
You are our father, O treasure-giver; you are our mother, O hundred-powered; therefore we seek your favor.
त्वां शुष्मिन्पुरुहूत वाजयन्तमुप ब्रुवे शतक्रतो । स नो रास्व सुवीर्यम्
To you, O much-invoked, mighty, I call, O hundred-powered; grant us good heroism.
त्वामिदा ह्यो नरोऽपीप्यन्वज्रिन्भूर्णयः । स इन्द्र स्तोमवाहसामिह श्रुध्युप स्वसरमा गहि
To you today, O wielder of the thunderbolt, men have poured forth, O Indra, the eager ones; so, Indra, with the songs that carry praise, hear us here and come to your kinsman.
मत्स्वा सुशिप्र हरिवस्तदीमहे त्वे आ भूषन्ति वेधसः । तव श्रवांस्युपमान्युक्थ्या सुतेष्विन्द्र गिर्वणः
Rejoice, O fair-jawed, golden one; for this we seek you; the wise adorn you; your renowned praises, O Indra, lover of song, are foremost in the pressings.
श्रायन्त इव सूर्यं विश्वेदिन्द्रस्य भक्षत । वसूनि जाते जनमान ओजसा प्रति भागं न दीधिम
All gaze upon Indra as on the sun; his treasures are born with power among men; we have distributed the share as is fitting.
अनर्शरातिं वसुदामुप स्तुहि भद्रा इन्द्रस्य रातयः । सो अस्य कामं विधतो न रोषति मनो दानाय चोदयन्
Praise the giver of wealth, not the non-giver; fortunate are Indra's gifts; he does not anger at the desire of the one who apportions, urging the mind to giving.
त्वमिन्द्र प्रतूर्तिष्वभि विश्वा असि स्पृधः । अशस्तिहा जनिता विश्वतूरसि त्वं तूर्य तरुष्यतः
You, Indra, in contests, surpass all rivals; you are the destroyer of curses, the universal conqueror; you are to be invoked in battle against the challenger.
अनु ते शुष्मं तुरयन्तमीयतुः क्षोणी शिशुं न मातरा । विश्वास्ते स्पृधः श्नथयन्त मन्यवे वृत्रं यदिन्द्र तूर्वसि
The earths hasten after your impetuous might, as mothers after a child; all your rivals you subdue with your will, when, Indra, you overcome Vṛtra.
इत ऊती वो अजरं प्रहेतारमप्रहितम् । आशुं जेतारं हेतारं रथीतममतूर्तं तुग्र्यावृधम्
From here, may your ageless protector, the unerring envoy, swift conqueror, impeller, charioteer, unconquered, increaser of Tugra, come to aid you.
इष्कर्तारमनिष्कृतं सहस्कृतं शतमूतिं शतक्रतुम् । समानमिन्द्रमवसे हवामहे वसवानं वसूजुवम्
The maker of good, unopposed, mighty in deeds, with a hundred aids, a hundred powers—Indra, the possessor of wealth, ever young in riches—we call for help together.
अयं त एमि तन्वा पुरस्ताद्विश्वे देवा अभि मा यन्ति पश्चात् । यदा मह्यं दीधरो भागमिन्द्रादिन्मया कृणवो वीर्याणि
Here I come with my body from the front; all the gods approach me from behind, when you, Indra, have assigned me a share, and by me you accomplish heroic deeds.
दधामि ते मधुनो भक्षमग्रे हितस्ते भागः सुतो अस्तु सोमः । असश्च त्वं दक्षिणतः सखा मेऽधा वृत्राणि जङ्घनाव भूरि
I set before you the first portion of the sweet drink; let your share be the pressed Soma. And you, my friend, sit to my right; together let us strike down many foes.
प्र सु स्तोमं भरत वाजयन्त इन्द्राय सत्यं यदि सत्यमस्ति । नेन्द्रो अस्तीति नेम उ त्व आह क ईं ददर्श कमभि ष्टवाम
Now, O Bharata, offer the true praise to Indra, if indeed it is true. No one says, 'Indra does not exist'—who has seen him, whom shall we praise?
अयमस्मि जरितः पश्य मेह विश्वा जातान्यभ्यस्मि मह्ना । ऋतस्य मा प्रदिशो वर्धयन्त्यादर्दिरो भुवना दर्दरीमि
Here I am, O singer—see me here! By my greatness I surpass all beings. The regions of truth make me grow; I shatter the worlds, I break them apart.
