विश्वजिते धनजिते स्वर्जिते सत्राजिते नृजित उर्वराजिते । अश्वजिते गोजिते अब्जिते भरेन्द्राय सोमं यजताय हर्यतम् ॥

viśvajite dhanajite svarjite satrājite nṛjita urvarājite | aśvajite gojite abjite bharendrāya somaṃ yajatāya haryatam ||

To him the Lord of all, the Lord of wealth, of light; him who is Lord for ever, Lord of men and tilth, Him who is Lord of horses, Lord of kine,of floods, to Indra, to the Holy bring sweet Soma juice.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अभिभुवे ऽभिभङ्गाय वन्वते ऽषाळ्हाय सहमानाय वेधसे । तुविग्रये वह्नये दुष्टरीतवे सत्रासाहे नम इन्द्राय वोचत ॥

abhibhuve 'bhibhaṅgāya vanvate 'ṣāḷhāya sahamānāya vedhase | tuvigraye vahnaye duṣṭarītave satrāsāhe nama indrāya vocata ||

To him the potent One, who conquers and breaks down, the Victor never vanquished who disposes all, The migbty-voiced, the rider, unassailable, to Indra everconquering speak your reverent prayer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

सत्रासाहो जनभक्षो जनंसहश् च्यवनो युध्मो अनु जोषम् उक्षितः । वृतञ्चयः सहुरिर् विक्ष्व् आरित इन्द्रस्य वोचम् प्र कृतानि वीर्या ॥

satrāsāho janabhakṣo janaṃsahaś cyavano yudhmo anu joṣam ukṣitaḥ | vṛtañcayaḥ sahurir vikṣv ārita indrasya vocam pra kṛtāni vīryā ||

Still Victor, loved by mortals, ruler over men, o'erthrower, warrior, he hath waxen as he would; Host-gatherer, triumphant, honoured mid the folk. Indra's heroic deeds will I tell forth to all.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अनानुदो वृषभो दोधतो वधो गम्भीर ऋष्वो असमष्टकाव्यः । रध्रचोदः श्नथनो वीळितस् पृथुर् इन्द्रः सुयज्ञ उषसः स्वर् जनत् ॥

anānudo vṛṣabho dodhato vadho gambhīra ṛṣvo asamaṣṭakāvyaḥ | radhracodaḥ śnathano vīḷitas pṛthur indraḥ suyajña uṣasaḥ svar janat ||

The strong who never yields, who slew the furious fiend, the deep, the vast, of wisdom unattainable; Who speeds the good, the breaker-down, the firm, the vast,-Indra whose rites bring joy hath made the light of Dawn.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यज्ञेन गातुम् अप्तुरो विविद्रिरे धियो हिन्वाना उशिजो मनीषिणः । अभिस्वरा निषदा गा अवस्यव इन्द्रे हिन्वाना द्रविणान्य् आशत ॥

yajñena gātum apturo vividrire dhiyo hinvānā uśijo manīṣiṇaḥ | abhisvarā niṣadā gā avasyava indre hinvānā draviṇāny āśata ||

By sacrifice the yearning sages sending forth their songs found furtherance from him who speeds the flood. In Indra seeking help with worship and with hymn, they drew him to themselves and won them kine and wealth.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इन्द्र श्रेष्ठानि द्रविणानि धेहि चित्तिं दक्षस्य सुभगत्वम् अस्मे । पोषं रयीणाम् अरिष्टिं तनूनां स्वाद्मानं वाचः सुदिनत्वम् अह्नाम् ॥

indra śreṣṭhāni draviṇāni dhehi cittiṃ dakṣasya subhagatvam asme | poṣaṃ rayīṇām ariṣṭiṃ tanūnāṃ svādmānaṃ vācaḥ sudinatvam ahnām ||

Indra, bestow on us the best of treasures, the spirit of ability and fortune; Increase of riches, safety of our bodies, charm of sweet speech, and days of pleasant weather.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
