Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·2·2.5
इन्द्र जुषस्व प्र वहा याहि शूर हरिभ्याम् । पिबा सुतस्य मतेर् इह मधोश् चकानश् चारुर् मदाय ॥१॥
indra juṣasva pra vahā yāhi śūra haribhyām | pibā sutasya mater iha madhoś cakānaś cārur madāya ||1||
O Indra, enjoy thou—drive on;—come, O hero—with thy two bays;—drink of the pressed [soma]—intoxicated here—loving the sweet [draught], fair one, unto intoxication.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्र जठरं नव्यो न पृणस्व मधोर् दिवो न । अस्य सुतस्य स्वर् णोप त्वा मदाः सुवाचो अगुः ॥२॥
indra jaṭharaṃ navyo na pṛṇasva madhor divo na | asya sutasya svar ṇopa tvā madāḥ suvāco aguḥ ||2||
O Indra, [thy] belly—like one to be praised—fill thou with the sweet [draught]—like the heavens—with this soma—like the sky (svàr)—; unto thee have gone the well-voiced intoxications.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्रस् तुराषाण् मित्रो वृत्रं यो जघान यतीर् न । बिभेद वलं भृगुर् न ससहे शत्रून् मदे सोमस्य ॥३॥
indras turāṣāṇ mitro vṛtraṃ yo jaghāna yatīr na | bibheda valaṃ bhṛgur na sasahe śatrūn made somasya ||3||
Indra, a swiftly-overcoming friend, who slew Vritra—like moving [streams]—, [who] split Vala—like Bhṛgu—, who overpowered his foes in the intoxication of soma.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
आ त्वा विशन्तु सुतास इन्द्र पृणस्व कुक्षी विड्ढि शक्र धियेह्य् आ नः । श्रुधी हवं गिरो मे जुषस्वेन्द्र स्वयुग्भिर् मत्स्वेह महे रणाय ॥४॥
ā tvā viśantu sutāsa indra pṛṇasva kukṣī viḍḍhi śakra dhiyehy ā naḥ | śrudhī havaṃ giro me juṣasvendra svayugbhir matsveha mahe raṇāya ||4||
Let the pressed [somas] enter thee, O Indra; fill thy (two) paunches; help, O mighty one! for our prayer (dhī́) come to us; hear [my] call, enjoy my songs; hither, O Indra, with self-harnessed [steeds]; revel here unto great joy.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्रस्य नु प्र वोचं वीर्याणि यानि चकार प्रथमानि वज्री । अहन्न् अहिम् अनु अपस् ततर्द प्र वक्षणा अभिनत् पर्वतानाम् ॥५॥
indrasya nu pra vocaṃ vīryāṇi yāni cakāra prathamāni vajrī | ahann ahim anu apas tatarda pra vakṣaṇā abhinat parvatānām ||5||
Now will I proclaim the heroisms of Indra, which first he of the thunderbolt (vajrín) did; he slew the dragon (áhi); he penetrated to the waters; he split ⌊forth⌋ the bellies (vakṣáṇā) of the mountains.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अहन्न् अहिं पर्वते शिश्रियाणं त्वष्टास्मै वज्रं स्वर्यं ततक्ष । वाश्रा इव धेनवः स्यन्दमाना अञ्जः समुद्रम् अव जग्मुर् आपः ॥६॥
ahann ahiṃ parvate śiśriyāṇaṃ tvaṣṭāsmai vajraṃ svaryaṃ tatakṣa | vāśrā iva dhenavaḥ syandamānā añjaḥ samudram ava jagmur āpaḥ ||6||
He slew the dragon that had resorted (çri) to the mountain; Tvashṭar fashioned for him the whizzing (?) thunderbolt; like lowing kine, flowing (syand), at once the waters went down to the ocean.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
वृषायमाणो अवृणीत सोमं त्रिकद्रुकेषु अपिबत् सुतस्य । आ सायकं मघवादत्त वज्रम् अहन्न् एनं प्रथमजाम् अहीनाम् ॥७॥
vṛṣāyamāṇo avṛṇīta somaṃ trikadrukeṣu apibat sutasya | ā sāyakaṃ maghavādatta vajram ahann enaṃ prathamajām ahīnām ||7||
Acting like a bull, he chose the soma; he drank of the pressed [draught] in the tríkadrukas; the bounteous one (maghávan) took his missile thunderbolt; he slew that first-born of dragons.
