शास इत्था महां अस्य् अमित्रखादो अद्भुतः । न यस्य हन्यते सखा न जीयते कदा चन ॥
śāsa itthā mahāṃ asy amitrakhādo adbhutaḥ | na yasya hanyate sakhā na jīyate kadā cana ||
A MIGHTY Governor art thou, Wondrous, Destroyer of the foe, Whose friend is never done to death, and never, never overcome.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स्वस्तिदा विशस् पतिर् वृत्रहा विमृधो वशी । वृषेन्द्रः पुर एतु नः सोमपा अभयङ्करः ॥
svastidā viśas patir vṛtrahā vimṛdho vaśī | vṛṣendraḥ pura etu naḥ somapā abhayaṅkaraḥ ||
Lord of the clan, who brings us bliss, Strong, Warrior, Slayer of the fiend, May India, Soma-drinker, go before us, Bull who gives us peace.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि रक्षो वि मृधो जहि वि वृत्रस्य हनू रुज । वि मन्युम् इन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् अमित्रस्याभिदासतः ॥
vi rakṣo vi mṛdho jahi vi vṛtrasya hanū ruja | vi manyum indra vṛtrahann amitrasyābhidāsataḥ ||
Drive Raksasas and foes away, break thou in pieces Vrtra's jaws: O Vrtra-slaying Indra, quell the foeman's wrath who threatens us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि न इन्द्र मृधो जहि नीचा यच्छ पृतन्यतः । यो अस्मां अभिदासत्य् अधरं गमया तमः ॥
vi na indra mṛdho jahi nīcā yaccha pṛtanyataḥ | yo asmāṃ abhidāsaty adharaṃ gamayā tamaḥ ||
O Indra, beat our foes away, humble the men who challenge us: Send down to nether darkness him who seeks to do us injury.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अपेन्द्र द्विषतो मनो ऽप जिज्यासतो वधम् । वि मन्योः शर्म यच्छ वरीयो यवया वधम् ॥
apendra dviṣato mano 'pa jijyāsato vadham | vi manyoḥ śarma yaccha varīyo yavayā vadham ||
Baffle the foeman's plan, ward off his weapon who would conquer us. Give shelter from his furious wrath, and keep his murdering dart afar.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
