उपास्मै गायता नरः पवमानायेन्दवे । अभि देवाꣳ२ऽ इयक्षते
Let men sing to him, to the purifier, to Indu; they approach the gods.
ये त्वाहिहत्ये मघवन्न् अवर्धन् ये शाम्बरे हरिवो ये गविष्टौ । ये त्वा नूनम् अनुमदन्ति विप्राः पिबेन्द्र सोमꣳ सगणो मरुद्भिः
Those who strengthened you, Maghavan, in the slaying; those in the battle of Shambara, O wielder of the tawny steeds; those in the contest for the cows; those priests who now approve you—drink, Indra, the Soma with the Maruts, your companions.
जनिष्ठा ऽ उग्रः सहसे तुराय मन्द्र ऽ ओजिष्ठो बहुलाभिमानः । अवर्धन्न् इन्द्रं मरुतश् चिद् अत्र माता यद् वीरं दधनद् धनिष्ठा
Born mighty, fierce for strength and speed, delightful, most vigorous, full of pride; even the Maruts increased Indra here, when the mother placed the hero in the womb.
आ तू न ऽ इन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् अस्माकम् अर्धम् आ गहि । महान् महीभिर् ऊतिभिः
Come to us, Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, come to our portion; great one, with mighty aids.
त्वम् इन्द्र प्रतूर्तिष्व् अभि विश्वा ऽ असि स्पृधः । अशस्तिहा जनिता विश्वतूर् असि त्वं तूर्य तरुष्यतः
You, Indra, are victorious in every contest; you destroy hostility, you are the creator of universal victory; you overcome those who challenge you.
अनु ते शुष्मं तुरयन्तम् ईयतुः क्षोणी शिशुं न मातरा । विश्वास् ते स्पृधः श्नथयन्त मन्यवे वृत्रं यद् इन्द्र तूर्वसि
The earths followed your force, rushing, like mothers after a child; all your adversaries you subdue in anger, when you, Indra, conquer Vṛtra.
यज्ञो देवानां प्रत्य् एति सुम्नम् आदित्यासो भवता मृडयन्तः । आ वो ऽर्वाची सुमतिर् ववृत्याद् अꣳहोश् चिद् या वरिवोवित्तरासत्
The sacrifice approaches the favor of the gods; may the Ādityas be gracious; may your benevolence turn toward us, and may you, who grant the path, remove distress.
अदब्धेभिः सवितः पायुभिष् ट्वꣳ शिवेभिर् अद्य परि पाहि नो गयम् । हिरण्यजिह्वः सुविताय नव्यसे रक्षा माकिर् नो ऽ अघशꣳस ऽ ईशत
Savitar, with unfailing guardians, with auspicious ones, today protect our life; golden-tongued, for fresh prosperity, guard us, let no evil speaker rule over us.
प्र वीरया शुचयो दद्रिरे वाम् अध्वर्युभिर् मधुमन्तः सुतासः । वह वायो नियुतो याह्य् अच्छा पिबा सुतस्यान्धसो मदाय
The pure ones have streamed forth with vigor, with the priests, the sweet Soma juices; bring, Vāyu, your teams, come here, drink the pressed Soma for delight.
गाव ऽ उपावतावतं मही यज्ञस्य रप्सुदा । उभा कर्णा हिरण्यया
The cows have come near, great givers of the sacrificial riches; both ears are golden.
काव्ययोर् आजानेषु क्रत्वा दक्षस्य दुरोणे । रिशादसा सधस्थ ऽ आ
Among the offspring of poets, in the house of skill and wisdom, the devourers are seated in the abode.
दैव्याव् अध्वर्यू आ गतꣳ रथेन सूर्यत्वचा । मध्वा यज्ञꣳ सम् अञ्जाथे । [ + तं प्रत्नथा । अयं वेनः ॥]
Come, divine priests, with the chariot shining like the sun; anoint the sacrifice with honey; [and renew it; this is Vena.]
तिरश्चीनो विततो रश्मिर् एषाम् अधः स्विद् आसी३द् उपरि स्विद् आसी३त् । रेतोधा ऽ आसन् महिमान ऽ आसन्त् स्वधा ऽ अवस्तात् प्रयतिः परस्तात्
Their ray stretches across, slanting; below it was, above it was; they were seed-bearers, they were mighty; inherent power was below, aspiration was above.
आ रोदसी ऽ अपृणद् आ स्वर् महज् जातं यद् एनम् अपसो ऽ अधारयन् । सो ऽ अध्वराय परि णीयते कविर् अत्यो न वाजसातये चनोहितः
He filled the two worlds, he reached the heaven; when he was born, the waters sustained him; he is led around the sacrifice, the sage, like a horse harnessed for the prize.
उक्थेभिर् वृत्रहन्तमा या मन्दाना चिद् आ गिरा । आङ्गूषैर् आविवासतः
With hymns, the slayer of Vṛtra is praised, even by those who are slow with speech; with gestures, they call him forth.
उप नः सूनवो गिरः शृण्वन्त्व् अमृतस्य ये । सुमृडीका भवन्तु नः
Let the sons of immortality hear our songs; may they be gracious to us.
ब्रह्माणि मे मतयः शꣳ सुतासः शुष्म ऽ इयर्ति प्रभृतो मे ऽ अद्रिः । आ शासते प्रति हर्यन्त्य् उक्थेमा हरी वहतस् ता नो ऽ अच्छ
My prayers, my thoughts, my pressed Soma, my vigor rises; my stone pours forth; they are summoned, they are stirred by hymns; let the two steeds bring them to us.
अनुत्तमा ते मघवन् नकिर् नु न त्वावाꣳ२ऽ अस्ति देवता विदानः । न जायमानो नशते न जातो यानि करिष्या कृणुहि प्रवृद्ध
O Maghavan, none surpasses you; no deity is known to be your equal; neither the newborn nor the born perishes; whatever you will do, accomplish it, O greatly grown.
तद् इद् आस भुवनेषु ज्येष्ठं यतो जज्ञ ऽ उग्रस् त्वेषनृम्णः । सद्यो जज्ञानो नि रिणाति शत्रून् अनु यं विश्वे मदन्त्य् ऊमाः
That was the greatest among beings, from whom was born the fierce, splendid, heroic one. Newly born, he immediately drives away enemies; all powers delight in him.
इमा ऽ उ त्वा पुरूवसो गिरो वर्धन्तु या मम । पावकवर्णाः शुचयो विपश्चितो ऽभि स्तोमैर् अनूषत
O Purūvasa, may these songs of mine increase you—those which are mine, radiant in color, pure, wise; they have approached you with praises.
यस्यायं विश्व ऽ आर्यो दासः शेवधिपा ऽ अरिः । तिरश् चिद् अर्ये रुशमे परीरवि तुभ्येत् सो ऽ अज्यते रयिः
For whom this Aryan, this Dāsa, this benevolent lord, this enemy—though hostile—has cried out in anger; to you, wealth is offered.
अयꣳ सहस्रम् ऋषिभिः सहस्कृतः समुद्र ऽ इव पप्रथे । सत्यः सो ऽ अस्य महिमा गृणे शवो यज्ञेषु विप्रराज्ये
He, with a thousand sages, empowered by their strength, spreads like the ocean. True is his greatness; I praise his might in sacrifices and among the wise.
अदब्धेभिः सवितः पायुभिष् ट्वꣳ शिवेभिर् अद्य परि पाहि नो गयम् । हिरण्यजिह्वः सुविताय नव्यसे रक्षा माकिर् नो ऽ अघशꣳस ऽ ईशत
O Savitar, protect our dwelling today with undeceivable guardians, with auspicious ones. Golden-tongued, for new prosperity, guard us; let no evil-wisher rule over us.
आ नो यज्ञं दिविस्पृशं वायो याहि सुमन्मभिः । अन्तः पवित्र ऽ उपरि श्रीणानो ऽयꣳ शुक्रो ऽ अयामि ते
O Vāyu, come to our sacrifice that touches the sky, with good thoughts. Purified within, adorned above, I, shining, approach you.
इन्द्रवायू सुसंदृशा सुहवेह हवामहे । यथा नः सर्व ऽ इज् जनो ऽनमीवः संगमे सुमना ऽ असत्
Indra and Vāyu, of beautiful form, we call here with good invocation. May all people be free from harm, may we meet together with good minds.
ऋधग् इत्था स मर्त्यः शशमे देवतातये । यो नूनं मित्रावरुणाव् अभिष्टय ऽ आचक्रे हव्यदातये
Thus, the mortal has rejoiced in divine worship, who now has sought Mitra and Varuṇa for the offering, for the giving of oblations.
आ यातम् उप भूषतं मध्वः पिबतम् अश्विना । दुग्धं पयो वृषणा जेन्यावसू मा नो मर्धिष्टम् आ गतम्
Come, adorn yourselves, drink the honey, O Aśvins. The milk has been drawn, O mighty, noble givers; do not harm us, but come.
प्रैतु ब्रह्मणस् पतिः प्र देव्य् एतु सूनृता । अच्छा वीरं नर्यं पङ्क्तिराधसं देवा यज्ञं नयन्तु नः
Let the Lord of Speech advance, let the goddess Truth come forward. Let the gods lead our sacrifice to the heroic, noble one, the provider of abundance.
चन्द्रमा ऽ अप्स्व् अन्तर् आ सुपर्णो धावते दिवि । रयिं पिशंगं बहुलं पुरुस्पृहꣳ हरिर् एति कनिक्रदत्
The Moon moves among the waters, the swift-winged one runs in the sky. The tawny, abundant, many-nourishing wealth comes, the roaring one approaches.
देवं-देवं वो ऽवसे देवं-देवम् अभिष्टये । देवं-देवꣳ हुवेम वाजसातये गृणन्तो देव्या धिया
To each god for help, to each god for favor, to each god we call for the gaining of strength, praising with divine thought.
