AVŚ 6.39.1

यशो हविर् वर्धताम् इन्द्रजूतं सहस्रवीर्यं सुभृतं सहस्कृतम् । प्रसर्स्राणम् अनु दीर्घाय चक्षसे हविष्मन्तं मा वर्धय ज्येष्ठतातये ॥१॥

yaśo havir vardhatām indrajūtaṃ sahasravīryaṃ subhṛtaṃ sahaskṛtam | prasarsrāṇam anu dīrghāya cakṣase haviṣmantaṃ mā vardhaya jyeṣṭhatātaye ||1||

[As] glory (yáças) let [my] oblation increase, quickened by Indra, of thousand-fold might, well-brought, made with power; me, proceeding mightily onward unto long sight, [me] with my oblation, do thou increase unto chiefhood.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 6.39.2

अछा न इन्द्रं यशसं यशोभिर् यशस्विनं नमसाना विधेम । स नो रास्व राष्ट्रम् इन्द्रजूतं तस्य ते रातौ यशसः स्याम ॥२॥

achā na indraṃ yaśasaṃ yaśobhir yaśasvinaṃ namasānā vidhema | sa no rāsva rāṣṭram indrajūtaṃ tasya te rātau yaśasaḥ syāma ||2||

Unto our glorious Indra, rich in glory, would we, rendering homage, with glories pay worship; do thou bestow on us royalty quickened by Indra; in thy bestowal here may we be glorious.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 6.39.3

यशा इन्द्रो यशा अग्निर् यशाः सोमो अजायत । यशा विश्वस्य भूतस्य अहम् अस्मि यशस्तमः ॥३॥

yaśā indro yaśā agnir yaśāḥ somo ajāyata | yaśā viśvasya bhūtasya aham asmi yaśastamaḥ ||3||

Glorious was Indra, glorious was Agni, glorious was Soma born; glorious, of all existence am I most glorious.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
