अस्मिन् न इन्द्र पृत्सुतौ यशस्वति शिमीवति क्रन्दसि प्राव सातये । यत्र गोषाता धृषितेषु खादिषु विष्वक् पतन्ति दिद्यवो नृषाह्ये ॥
asmin na indra pṛtsutau yaśasvati śimīvati krandasi prāva sātaye | yatra goṣātā dhṛṣiteṣu khādiṣu viṣvak patanti didyavo nṛṣāhye ||
O INDRA, in this battle great and glorious, in this loud din of war help us to victory, Where in the strife for kine among bold ring-decked men arrows fly all around and heroes are subdued.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स नः क्षुमन्तं सदने व्य् ऊर्णुहि गोअर्णसं रयिम् इन्द्र श्रवाय्यम् । स्याम ते जयतः शक्र मेदिनो यथा वयम् उश्मसि तद् वसो कृधि ॥
sa naḥ kṣumantaṃ sadane vy ūrṇuhi goarṇasaṃ rayim indra śravāyyam | syāma te jayataḥ śakra medino yathā vayam uśmasi tad vaso kṛdhi ||
At home disclose to us opulence rich in food, streaming with milk, O Indra, meet to be renowned. Sakra, may we be thine, the friendly Conqueror's: even as we desire, O Vasu, so do thou.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो नो दास आर्यो वा पुरुष्टुतादेव इन्द्र युधये चिकेतति । अस्माभिष् टे सुषहाः सन्तु शत्रवस् त्वया वयं तान् वनुयाम संगमे ॥
yo no dāsa āryo vā puruṣṭutādeva indra yudhaye ciketati | asmābhiṣ ṭe suṣahāḥ santu śatravas tvayā vayaṃ tān vanuyāma saṃgame ||
The godless man, much-lauded Indra, whether he be Dasa or be Arya, who would war with us,- Easy to conquer he for thee, with us, these foes: with thee may we subdue them in the clash of fight.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो दभ्रेभिर् हव्यो यश् च भूरिभिर् यो अभीके वरिवोविन् नृषाह्ये । तं विखादे सस्निम् अद्य श्रुतं नरम् अर्वाञ्चम् इन्द्रम् अवसे करामहे ॥
yo dabhrebhir havyo yaś ca bhūribhir yo abhīke varivovin nṛṣāhye | taṃ vikhāde sasnim adya śrutaṃ naram arvāñcam indram avase karāmahe ||
Him who must be invoked by many and by few, who standeth nigh with comfort in the war of men, Indra, famed Hero, winner in the deadly strife, let us bring hitherward to-day to favour us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स्ववृजं हि त्वाम् अहम् इन्द्र शुश्रवानानुदं वृषभ रध्रचोदनम् । प्र मुञ्चस्व परि कुत्साद् इहा गहि किम् उ त्वावान् मुष्कयोर् बद्ध आसते ॥
svavṛjaṃ hi tvām aham indra śuśravānānudaṃ vṛṣabha radhracodanam | pra muñcasva pari kutsād ihā gahi kim u tvāvān muṣkayor baddha āsate ||
For, Indra, I have heard thee called Self. capturer, One, Steer! who never yields, who urges even the churl. Release thyself from Kutsa and come hither. How shall one like thee sit still bound that he may not move?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
