आ वामगन्सुमतिर्वाजिनीवसू न्यश्विना हृत्सु कामा अयंसत । अभूतं गोपा मिथुना शुभस्पती प्रिया अर्यम्णो दुर्याँ अशीमहि
To you came gracious favor, O Aśvins, bestowers of horses; desires have entered hearts; become guardians, you two, splendid lords of couples, dear to Aryaman—may we reach the secure place.
ता मन्दसाना मनुषो दुरोण आ धत्तं रयिं सहवीरं वचस्यवे । कृतं तीर्थं सुप्रपाणं शुभस्पती स्थाणुं पथेष्ठामप दुर्मतिं हतम्
O delighting ones, bring wealth with strong sons to the house of man for praise; make a ford easy to cross, O splendid lords, a firm standing place on the path, destroy ill-intent.
क्व स्विदद्य कतमास्वश्विना विक्षु दस्रा मादयेते शुभस्पती । क ईं नि येमे कतमस्य जग्मतुर्विप्रस्य वा यजमानस्य वा गृहम्
Where today, in which lands, O Aśvins, do you, wondrous lords, delight? Who has invited you, to whose house have you gone—of the inspired one or of the sacrificing host?
समानमु त्यं पुरुहूतमुक्थ्यं रथं त्रिचक्रं सवना गनिग्मतम् । परिज्मानं विदथ्यं सुवृक्तिभिर्वयं व्युष्टा उषसो हवामहे
We call at dawn upon the same, much-invoked, hymn-loving, three-wheeled chariot, swift at the pressings, circling at the assembly, with beautiful praises.
प्रातर्युजं नासत्याधि तिष्ठथः प्रातर्यावाणं मधुवाहनं रथम् । विशो येन गच्छथो यज्वरीर्नरा कीरेश्चिद्यज्ञं होतृमन्तमश्विना
You, O Nāsatyas, yoke at dawn and mount the honey-bearing chariot; with it you go among the worshipping peoples, O men, even to the sacrifice rich in offerings, O Aśvins.
अध्वर्युं वा मधुपाणिं सुहस्त्यमग्निधं वा धृतदक्षं दमूनसम् । विप्रस्य वा यत्सवनानि गच्छथोऽत आ यातं मधुपेयमश्विना
Whether it is the priest with honeyed hands, the good-handed one, or the fire-kindler, skilled and devout, or the inspired one whose pressings you attend—come here, O Aśvins, to drink the honeyed draught.
अस्तेव सु प्रतरं लायमस्यन्भूषन्निव प्र भरा स्तोममस्मै । वाचा विप्रास्तरत वाचमर्यो नि रामय जरितः सोम इन्द्रम्
Like a craftsman sharpening a tool, bring forth a fitting hymn for him; with speech, O inspired ones, let the noble utter the word, direct the singer's praise to Soma for Indra.
दोहेन गामुप शिक्षा सखायं प्र बोधय जरितर्जारमिन्द्रम् । कोशं न पूर्णं वसुना न्यृष्टमा च्यावय मघदेयाय शूरम्
With milking, seek the cow, awaken the friend, O singer, rouse the aged Indra; like a vessel filled with wealth, ready to be poured, stir up the hero for the gift of riches.
किमङ्ग त्वा मघवन्भोजमाहुः शिशीहि मा शिशयं त्वा शृणोमि । अप्नस्वती मम धीरस्तु शक्र वसुविदं भगमिन्द्रा भरा नः
What, O bountiful one, do they call you—enjoyer? I hear you are not to be enjoyed; let my prayer, O Śakra, bring us the portion of wealth, O Indra, bring us the share.
त्वां जना ममसत्येष्विन्द्र संतस्थाना वि ह्वयन्ते समीके । अत्रा युजं कृणुते यो हविष्मान्नासुन्वता सख्यं वष्टि शूरः
People call upon you, O Indra, in their true gatherings, standing together; here, whoever is offering, makes you a yoke-mate, O hero, he desires friendship with the one who pours not Soma.
धनं न स्यन्द्रं बहुलं यो अस्मै तीव्रान्सोमाँ आसुनोति प्रयस्वान् । तस्मै शत्रून्सुतुकान्प्रातरह्नो नि स्वष्ट्रान्युवति हन्ति वृत्रम्
He who, eager, offers you, O Indra, strong Soma, for him wealth flows abundantly; for him you strike down enemies and rivals in the morning, with your own weapon you slay the Vṛtra.
यस्मिन्वयं दधिमा शंसमिन्द्रे यः शिश्राय मघवा काममस्मे । आराच्चित्सन्भयतामस्य शत्रुर्न्यस्मै द्युम्ना जन्या नमन्ताम्
In whom we place our praise, in Indra, who has shown us favor, O bountiful one, fulfill our desire; even from afar let the enemy fear him, let all glories bow before him.
आराच्छत्रुमप बाधस्व दूरमुग्रो यः शम्बः पुरुहूत तेन । अस्मे धेहि यवमद्गोमदिन्द्र कृधी धियं जरित्रे वाजरत्नाम्
Drive the enemy far away, O mighty one, as you, much-invoked, have done before; grant us, O Indra, barley and cattle, bestow wisdom and prize-winning strength upon the singer.
प्र यमन्तर्वृषसवासो अग्मन्तीव्राः सोमा बहुलान्तास इन्द्रम् । नाह दामानं मघवा नि यंसन्नि सुन्वते वहति भूरि वामम्
The strong, abundant, and potent Somās have come to Indra; Maghavan does not restrain his generosity, but carries much wealth to the one who presses (the Soma).
उत प्रहामतिदीव्या जयाति कृतं यच्छ्वघ्नी विचिनोति काले । यो देवकामो न धना रुणद्धि समित्तं राया सृजति स्वधावान्
Indeed, the swift and radiant one prevails, she who searches out what is done at the proper time; he who desires the gods does not withhold wealth, the self-sustaining one releases prosperity to the friend.
गोभिष्टरेमामतिं दुरेवां यवेन क्षुधं पुरुहूत विश्वाम् । वयं राजभिः प्रथमा धनान्यस्माकेन वृजनेना जयेम
With cows, with barley, with all kinds of food, O much-invoked one, we would conquer distant enemies; may we, with our leaders, win the foremost riches by our own striving.
* बृहस्पतिर्नः परि पातु पश्चादुतोत्तरस्मादधरादघायोः । इन्द्रः पुरस्तादुत मध्यतो नः सखा सखिभ्यो वरिवः कृणोतु
May Bṛhaspati protect us from behind, from above, and from below, from harm; may Indra protect us in front and in the middle, and as a friend, grant passage to his friends.
अच्छा म इन्द्रं मतयः स्वर्विदः सध्रीचीर्विश्वा उशतीरनूषत । परि ष्वजन्ते जनयो यथा पतिं मर्यं न शुन्ध्युं मघवानमूतये
All our thoughts, radiant and harmonious, approach Indra, knowing the light; they embrace him as people embrace their lord, as a noble youth, Maghavan, for help.
न घा त्वद्रिगप वेति मे मनस्त्वे इत्कामं पुरुहूत शिश्रय । राजेव दस्म नि षदोऽधि बर्हिष्यस्मिन्सु सोमेऽवपानमस्तु ते
My mind does not turn away from you, O Indra; in you alone, O much-invoked one, I place my desire; like a king, O wondrous one, sit upon this sacred grass, and let this Soma be your drink.
विषूवृदिन्द्रो अमतेरुत क्षुधः स इद्रायो मघवा वस्व ईशते । तस्येदिमे प्रवणे सप्त सिन्धवो वयो वर्धन्ति वृषभस्य शुष्मिणः
Indra, who increases abundance and removes hunger, is the lord of wealth; for him, in the channel, seven rivers grow strong, nourished by the might of the bull.
वयो न वृक्षं सुपलाशमासदन्सोमास इन्द्रं मन्दिनश्चमूषदः । प्रैषामनीकं शवसा दविद्युतद्विदत्स्वर्मनवे ज्योतिरार्यम्
Like birds settling on a tree with fine leaves, the pressing stones approach Indra, the joyous one; his face flashes with power like lightning, he knows the light for the new day.
कृतं न श्वघ्नी वि चिनोति देवने संवर्गं यन्मघवा सूर्यं जयत् । न तत्ते अन्यो अनु वीर्यं शकन्न पुराणो मघवन्नोत नूतनः
The swift one searches out what is done for the gods, conquering the sun, O Maghavan; no other, neither ancient nor new, can match your heroic power.
विशंविशं मघवा पर्यशायत जनानां धेना अवचाकशद्वृषा । यस्याह शक्रः सवनेषु रण्यति स तीव्रैः सोमैः सहते पृतन्यतः
Maghavan has distributed among all the people, the bull has called forth the cows for the tribes; he whom Śakra delights in at the sacrifices, he withstands the fierce ones with strong Somās.
आपो न सिन्धुमभि यत्समक्षरन्सोमास इन्द्रं कुल्या इव ह्रदम् । वर्धन्ति विप्रा महो अस्य सादने यवं न वृष्टिर्दिव्येन दानुना
Like waters flowing to the river, the pressing stones approach Indra as streams to a lake; the sages increase his greatness at the seat, like barley growing with divine rain.
वृषा न क्रुद्धः पतयद्रजस्स्वा यो अर्यपत्नीरकृणोदिमा अपः । स सुन्वते मघवा जीरदानवेऽविन्दज्ज्योतिर्मनवे हविष्मते
Like a bull, enraged, he rushes through the spaces, he who has made the waters for Arya's wives; Maghavan finds light for the sacrificer who presses Soma for long life.
उज्जायतां परशुर्ज्योतिषा सह भूया ऋतस्य सुदुघा पुराणवत् । वि रोचतामरुषो भानुना शुचिः स्वर्ण शुक्रं शुशुचीत सत्पतिः
Let the axe shine forth with light, let the cow of truth yield abundantly as before; let the bright one shine with his radiance, let the pure lord of good shine with golden brilliance.
गोभिष्टरेमामतिं दुरेवां यवेन क्षुधं पुरुहूत विश्वाम् । वयं राजभिः प्रथमा धनान्यस्माकेन वृजनेना जयेम
With cows, with barley, with all kinds of food, O much-invoked one, we would conquer distant enemies; may we, with our leaders, win the foremost riches by our own striving.
बृहस्पतिर्नः परि पातु पश्चादुतोत्तरस्मादधरादघायोः । इन्द्रः पुरस्तादुत मध्यतो नः सखा सखिभ्यो वरिवः कृणोतु
May Bṛhaspati protect us from behind, from above, and from below, from harm; may Indra protect us in front and in the middle, and as a friend, grant passage to his friends.
आ यात्विन्द्रः स्वपतिर्मदाय यो धर्मणा तूतुजानस्तुविष्मान् । प्रत्वक्षाणो अति विश्वा सहांस्यपारेण महता वृष्ण्येन
Let Indra, lord of his own, come for exhilaration, he who, by his law, is powerful and praiseworthy; with broad vision, he surpasses all obstacles by his immense strength.
सुष्ठामा रथः सुयमा हरी ते मिम्यक्ष वज्रो नृपते गभस्तौ । शीभं राजन्सुपथा याह्यर्वाङ्वर्धाम ते पपुषो वृष्ण्यानि
Your chariot is well-made, your horses are well-yoked, O lord; the thunderbolt shines in your hand, O king; come by the good path, O ruler, let your strength grow and flourish.
