eṣa pra pūrvīr ava tasya camriṣo 'tyo na yoṣām ud ayaṃsta bhurvaṇiḥ | dakṣam mahe pāyayate hiraṇyayaṃ ratham āvṛtyā hariyogam ṛbhvasam ||
For this man's full libations held in ladles, he hath roused him, eager, as a horse to meet the mare. He stays his golden car, yoked with Bay Horses, swift, and drinks the Soma juice which strengthens for great deeds.
taṃ gūrtayo nemanniṣaḥ parīṇasaḥ samudraṃ na saṃcaraṇe saniṣyavaḥ | patiṃ dakṣasya vidathasya nū saho giriṃ na venā adhi roha tejasā ||
To him the guidance-following songs of praise flow full, as those who seek gain go in company to the flood. To him the Lord of power, the holy synod's might, as to a hill, with speed, ascend the loving ones.
स तुर्वणिर् महां अरेणु पौंस्ये गिरेर् भृष्टिर् न भ्राजते तुजा शवः । येन शुष्णम् मायिनम् आयसो मदे दुध्र आभूषु रामयन् नि दामनि ॥
sa turvaṇir mahāṃ areṇu pauṃsye girer bhṛṣṭir na bhrājate tujā śavaḥ | yena śuṣṇam māyinam āyaso made dudhra ābhūṣu rāmayan ni dāmani ||
Victorious, great is he; in manly battle shines, unstained with dust, his might, as shines a mountain peak; Wherewith the iron one, fierce e'en against the strong, in rapture, fettered wily Sushna fast in bonds.
देवी यदि तविषी त्वावृधोतय इन्द्रं सिषक्त्य् उषसं न सूर्यः । यो धृष्णुना शवसा बाधते तम इयर्ति रेणुम् बृहद् अर्हरिष्वणिः ॥
devī yadi taviṣī tvāvṛdhotaya indraṃ siṣakty uṣasaṃ na sūryaḥ | yo dhṛṣṇunā śavasā bādhate tama iyarti reṇum bṛhad arhariṣvaṇiḥ ||
When Strength the Goddess, made more strong for help by thee, waits upon Indra as the Sun attends the Dawn, Then. he who with his might unflinching kills the gloom stirs up the dust aloft, with joy and triumphing.
vi yat tiro dharuṇam acyutaṃ rajo 'tiṣṭhipo diva ātāsu barhaṇā | svarmīḷhe yan mada indra harṣyāhan vṛtraṃ nir apām aubjo arṇavam ||
When thou with might, upon the framework of the heaven, didst fix, across, air's region firmly, unremoved, In the light-winning war, Indra, in rapturous joy, thou smotest Vrtra dead and broughtest floods of rain.
tvaṃ divo dharuṇaṃ dhiṣa ojasā pṛthivyā indra sadaneṣu māhinaḥ | tvaṃ sutasya made ariṇā apo vi vṛtrasya samayā pāṣyārujaḥ ||
Thou with thy might didst grasp, the holder-up of heaven, thou who art mighty also in the seats of earth. Thou, gladdened by the juice, hast set the waters free, and broken Vrtra's stony fences through and through.
