मा नो अस्मिन् मघवन् पृत्स्व् अंहसि नहि ते अन्तः शवसः परीणशे । अक्रन्दयो नद्यो रोरुवद् वना कथा न क्षोणीर् भियसा सम् आरत ॥
mā no asmin maghavan pṛtsv aṃhasi nahi te antaḥ śavasaḥ parīṇaśe | akrandayo nadyo roruvad vanā kathā na kṣoṇīr bhiyasā sam ārata ||
Urge us not, Maghavan, to this distressful fight, for none may comprehend the limit of thy strength. Thou with fierce shout hast made the woods and rivers roar: did not men run in crowds together in their fear?
Sing hymns of praise to Sakra, Lord of power and might; laud thou and magnify Indra who heareth thee, Who with his daring might, a Bull exceeding strong in strength, maketh him master of the heaven and earth.
Sing forth to lofty Dyaus a strength-bestowing song, the Bold, whose resolute mind hath independent sway. High glory hath the Asura, compact of strength, drawn on by two Bay Steeds: a Bull, a Car is he.
The ridges of the lofty heaven thou madest shake; thou, daring, of thyself smotest through Sambara, When bold with gladdening juice, thou warredst with thy bolt, sharp and two-edged, against the banded sorcerers.
ni yad vṛṇakṣi śvasanasya mūrdhani śuṣṇasya cid vrandino roruvad vanā | prācīnena manasā barhaṇāvatā yad adyā cit kṛṇavaḥ kas tvā pari ||
When with a roar that fills the woods, thou forcest down on wind's head the stores which Susna kept confined, Who shall have power to stay thee firm and eager-souled from doing still this day what thou of old hast done?
Thou helpest Narya, Turvasa, and Yadu, and Vayya's son Turviti, Satakratu! Thou helpest horse and car in final battle thou breakest down the nine-and-ninety castles.
स घा राजा सत्पतिः शूशुवज् जनो रातहव्यः प्रति यः शासम् इन्वति । उक्था वा यो अभिगृणाति राधसा दानुर् अस्मा उपरा पिन्वते दिवः ॥
sa ghā rājā satpatiḥ śūśuvaj jano rātahavyaḥ prati yaḥ śāsam invati | ukthā vā yo abhigṛṇāti rādhasā dānur asmā uparā pinvate divaḥ ||
A hero-lord is he, King of a mighty folk, who offers free oblations and promotes the Law, Who with a bounteous guerdon welcomes hymns of praise: for him flows down the abundant stream below the sky.
असमं क्षत्रम् असमा मनीषा प्र सोमपा अपसा सन्तु नेमे । ये त इन्द्र ददुषो वर्धयन्ति महि क्षत्रं स्थविरं वृष्ण्यं च ॥
asamaṃ kṣatram asamā manīṣā pra somapā apasā santu neme | ye ta indra daduṣo vardhayanti mahi kṣatraṃ sthaviraṃ vṛṣṇyaṃ ca ||
His power is matchless, matchless is his wisdom; chief, through their work, be some who drink the Soma, Those, Indra, who increase the lordly power, the firm heroic strength of thee the Giver.
Therefore for thee are these abundant beakers Indra's drink, stone-pressed juices held in ladles. Quaff them and satisfy therewith thy longing; then fix thy mind upon bestowing treasure.
There darkness stood, the vault that stayed the waters' flow: in Vrtra's hollow side the rain-cloud lay concealed. But Indra smote the rivers which the obstructer stayed, flood following after flood, down steep declivities.
स शेवृधम् अधि धा द्युम्नम् अस्मे महि क्षत्रं जनाषाळ् इन्द्र तव्यम् । रक्षा च नो मघोनः पाहि सूरीन् राये च नः स्वपत्या इषे धाः ॥
sa śevṛdham adhi dhā dyumnam asme mahi kṣatraṃ janāṣāḷ indra tavyam | rakṣā ca no maghonaḥ pāhi sūrīn rāye ca naḥ svapatyā iṣe dhāḥ ||
So give us, Indra, bliss-increasing glory give us great sway and strength that conquers people. Preserve our wealthy patrons, save our princes; vouchsafe us wealth and food with noble offspring.
