Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·5·5.8
वैकङ्कतेनेध्मेन देवेभ्य आज्यं वह । अग्ने तां इह मादय सर्व आ यन्तु मे हवम् ॥१॥
vaikaṅkatenedhmena devebhya ājyaṃ vaha | agne tāṃ iha mādaya sarva ā yantu me havam ||1||
With fuel of víkan̄kata do thou carry the sacrificial butter to the gods; O Agni, make them revel here; let all come to my call.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्रा याहि मे हवम् इदं करिष्यामि तच् छृणु । इम ऐन्द्रा अतिसरा आकूतिं सं नमन्तु मे । तेभिः शकेम वीर्यं जातवेदस् तनूवशिन् ॥२॥
indrā yāhi me havam idaṃ kariṣyāmi tac chṛṇu | ima aindrā atisarā ākūtiṃ saṃ namantu me | tebhiḥ śakema vīryaṃ jātavedas tanūvaśin ||2||
O Indra, come to my call; this will I do; that hear thou; let these over-runners (? atisará) of Indra's bring to pass (sam-nam) my design; by them may we be equal to (çak) heroism, O Jātavedas, self-controller.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यद् असाव् अमुतो देवा अदेवः संश्चिकीर्षति । मा तस्याग्निर् हव्यं वाक्षीद् धवं देवा अस्य मोप गुर् ममैव हवम् एतन ॥३॥
yad asāv amuto devā adevaḥ saṃścikīrṣati | mā tasyāgnir havyaṃ vākṣīd dhavaṃ devā asya mopa gur mamaiva havam etana ||3||
What he there yonder, O gods, being godless, desires to do—let not Agni carry his oblation; let not the gods go to his call; come ye only (evá) unto my call.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अति धावतातिसरा इन्द्रस्य वचसा हत । अविं वृक इव मथ्नीत स वो जीवन् मा मोचि प्राणम् अस्यापि नह्यत ॥४॥
ati dhāvatātisarā indrasya vacasā hata | aviṃ vṛka iva mathnīta sa vo jīvan mā moci prāṇam asyāpi nahyata ||4||
Overrun (ati-dhāv), ye over-runners; slay by Indra's spell (vácas); shake (math) ye as a wolf [shakes] a sheep; let him not be released from you alive; shut up his breath.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यम् अमी पुरोदधिरे ब्रह्माणम् अपभूतये । इन्द्र स ते अधस्पदं तं प्रत्य् अस्यामि मृत्यवे ॥५॥
yam amī purodadhire brahmāṇam apabhūtaye | indra sa te adhaspadaṃ taṃ praty asyāmi mṛtyave ||5||
What brahmán they yonder have put forward for failure (åpabhūti), [be] he beneath thy feet, O Indra; him I cast unto death.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यदि प्रेयुर् देवपुरा ब्रह्म वर्माणि चक्रिरे । तनूपानं परिपाणं कृण्वाना यद् उपोचिरे सर्वं तद् अरसं कृधि ॥६॥
yadi preyur devapurā brahma varmāṇi cakrire | tanūpānaṃ paripāṇaṃ kṛṇvānā yad upocire sarvaṃ tad arasaṃ kṛdhi ||6||
If they have gone forward to the gods' strongholds (-purā), have made incantation (bráhman) their defenses—if (? yát) making a body-protection, a complete protection, they have encouraged themselves (upa-vac): all that do thou make sapless.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यान् असाव् अतिसरांश् चकार कृणवच् च यान् । त्वं तान् इन्द्र वृत्रहन् प्रतीचः पुनर् आ कृधि यथामुं तृणहां जनम् ॥७॥
yān asāv atisarāṃś cakāra kṛṇavac ca yān | tvaṃ tān indra vṛtrahan pratīcaḥ punar ā kṛdhi yathāmuṃ tṛṇahāṃ janam ||7||
What over-runners he yonder has made, and what he shall make, do thou, O Indra, Vṛtra-slayer, turn (ā-kṛ) them back again, that they may shatter (tṛh) yon person (jána).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यथेन्द्र उद्वाचनं लब्ध्वा चक्रे अधस्पदम् । कृण्वे ऽहम् अधरान् तथा अमूञ् छश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्यः ॥८॥
yathendra udvācanaṃ labdhvā cakre adhaspadam | kṛṇve 'ham adharān tathā amūñ chaśvatībhyaḥ samābhyaḥ ||8||
As Indra, taking Udvācana, put [him] underneath his feet, so do I put down them yonder, through everlasting (çáçvat) years (sámā).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अत्रैनान् इन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् उग्रो मर्मणि विध्य । अत्रैवैनान् अभि तिष्ठेन्द्र मेद्य् अहं तव । अनु त्वेन्द्रा रभामहे स्याम सुमतौ तव ॥९॥
atrainān indra vṛtrahann ugro marmaṇi vidhya | atraivainān abhi tiṣṭhendra medy ahaṃ tava | anu tvendrā rabhāmahe syāma sumatau tava ||9||
Here, O Indra, Vṛtra-slayer, do thou, formidable, pierce them in the vitals; just here do thou trample upon them; O Indra, thine ally am I; we take hold on thee, O Indra; may we be in thy favor.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
