आ यात्व् इन्द्रः स्वपतिर् मदाय यो धर्मणा तूतुजानस् तुविष्मान् । प्रत्वक्षाणो अति विश्वा सहांस्य् अपारेण महता वृष्ण्येन ॥
ā yātv indraḥ svapatir madāya yo dharmaṇā tūtujānas tuviṣmān | pratvakṣāṇo ati viśvā sahāṃsy apāreṇa mahatā vṛṣṇyena ||
May Sovran Indra come to the carousal, he who by Holy Law is strong and active, The overcomer of all conquering forces with his great steer-like power that hath no limit.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुष्ठामा रथः सुयमा हरी ते मिम्यक्ष वज्रो नृपते गभस्तौ । शीभं राजन् सुपथा याह्य् अर्वाङ् वर्धाम ते पपुषो वृष्ण्यानि ॥
suṣṭhāmā rathaḥ suyamā harī te mimyakṣa vajro nṛpate gabhastau | śībhaṃ rājan supathā yāhy arvāṅ vardhāma te papuṣo vṛṣṇyāni ||
Firm-seated is thy car, thy Steeds are docile; thy hand, O King, holds, firmly grasped, the thunder. On thy fair path, O Lord of men, come quickly: we will increase thy powers when thou hast drunken.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एन्द्रवाहो नृपतिं वज्रबाहुम् उग्रम् उग्रासस् तविषास एनम् । प्रत्वक्षसं वृषभं सत्यशुष्मम् एम् अस्मत्रा सधमादो वहन्तु ॥
endravāho nṛpatiṃ vajrabāhum ugram ugrāsas taviṣāsa enam | pratvakṣasaṃ vṛṣabhaṃ satyaśuṣmam em asmatrā sadhamādo vahantu ||
Let strong and mighty Steeds who bear this Mighty Indra, the Lord of men, whose arm wields thunder, Bring unto us, as sharers of our banquet, the Steer of conquering might, of real vigour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा पतिं द्रोणसाचं सचेतसम् ऊर्ज स्कम्भं धरुण आ वृषायसे । ओजः कृष्व सं गृभाय त्वे अप्य् असो यथा केनिपानाम् इनो वृधे ॥
evā patiṃ droṇasācaṃ sacetasam ūrja skambhaṃ dharuṇa ā vṛṣāyase | ojaḥ kṛṣva saṃ gṛbhāya tve apy aso yathā kenipānām ino vṛdhe ||
So like a Bull thou rushest to the Lord who loves the trough, the Sage, the prop of vigour, in the vat, Prepare thine energies, collect them in thyself: be for our profit as the Master of the wise.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
गमन्न् अस्मे वसून्य् आ हि शंसिषं स्वाशिषम् भरम् आ याहि सोमिनः । त्वम् ईशिषे सास्मिन्न् आ सत्सि बर्हिष्य् अनाधृष्या तव पात्राणि धर्मणा ॥
gamann asme vasūny ā hi śaṃsiṣaṃ svāśiṣam bharam ā yāhi sominaḥ | tvam īśiṣe sāsminn ā satsi barhiṣy anādhṛṣyā tava pātrāṇi dharmaṇā ||
May precious treasures come to us-so will I pray. Come to the votary's gift offered with beauteous laud. Thou art the Lord, as such sit on this holy grass: thy vessels are inviolate as Law commands.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पृथक् प्रायन् प्रथमा देवहूतयो ऽकृण्वत श्रवस्यानि दुष्टरा । न ये शेकुर् यज्ञियां नावम् आरुहम् ईर्मैव ते न्य् अविशन्त केपयः ॥
pṛthak prāyan prathamā devahūtayo 'kṛṇvata śravasyāni duṣṭarā | na ye śekur yajñiyāṃ nāvam āruham īrmaiva te ny aviśanta kepayaḥ ||
Far went our earliest invocation of the Gods, and won us glories that can never be surpassed. They who could not ascend the ship of sacrifice, sink down in desolation, trembling with alarm.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवैवापाग् अपरे सन्तु दूढ्यो ऽश्वा येषां दुर्युज आयुयुज्रे । इत्था ये प्राग् उपरे सन्ति दावने पुरूणि यत्र वयुनानि भोजना ॥
evaivāpāg apare santu dūḍhyo 'śvā yeṣāṃ duryuja āyuyujre | itthā ye prāg upare santi dāvane purūṇi yatra vayunāni bhojanā ||
So be the others, evil-hearted, far away, whose horses, difficult to harness, have been yoked. Here in advance men stand anear to offer gifts, by whom full many a work that brings reward is done.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
गिरींर् अज्रान् रेजमानां अधारयद् द्यौः क्रन्दद् अन्तरिक्षाणि कोपयत् । समीचीने धिषणे वि ष्कभायति वृष्णः पीत्वा मद उक्थानि शंसति ॥
girīṃr ajrān rejamānāṃ adhārayad dyauḥ krandad antarikṣāṇi kopayat | samīcīne dhiṣaṇe vi ṣkabhāyati vṛṣṇaḥ pītvā mada ukthāni śaṃsati ||
He firmly fixed the plains and mountains as they shook. Dyaus thundered forth and made the air's mid-region quake. He stays apart the two confronting bowls; he sings lauds in the potent Soma's joy when he hath drunk.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इमम् बिभर्मि सुकृतं ते अङ्कुशं येनारुजासि मघवञ् छफारुजः । अस्मिन् सु ते सवने अस्त्व् ओक्यं सुत इष्टौ मघवन् बोध्य् आभगः ॥
imam bibharmi sukṛtaṃ te aṅkuśaṃ yenārujāsi maghavañ chaphārujaḥ | asmin su te savane astv okyaṃ suta iṣṭau maghavan bodhy ābhagaḥ ||
I bear this deftly-fashioned goad of thine, wherewith thou, Maghavan, shalt break the strikers with the hoof. At this libation mayst thou be well satisfied. Partake the juice, partake the worship, Maghavan.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
गोभिष् टरेमामतिं दुरेवां यवेन क्षुधम् पुरुहूत विश्वाम् । वयं राजभिः प्रथमा धनान्य् अस्माकेन वृजनेना जयेम ॥
gobhiṣ ṭaremāmatiṃ durevāṃ yavena kṣudham puruhūta viśvām | vayaṃ rājabhiḥ prathamā dhanāny asmākena vṛjanenā jayema ||
O Much-invoked, may we subdue all famine and evil want with store of grain and cattle. May we allied, as first in rank, with princes obtain possessions by our own exertion.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
बृहस्पतिर् नः परि पातु पश्चाद् उतोत्तरस्माद् अधराद् अघायोः । इन्द्रः पुरस्ताद् उत मध्यतो नः सखा सखिभ्यो वरिवः कृणोतु ॥
bṛhaspatir naḥ pari pātu paścād utottarasmād adharād aghāyoḥ | indraḥ purastād uta madhyato naḥ sakhā sakhibhyo varivaḥ kṛṇotu ||
Brhaspati protect us from the rearward, and from above, and from below, from sinners. May Indra from the front and from the centre, as Friend to friends, vouchsafe us room and freedom.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
