asāvi devaṃ goṛjīkam andho ny asminn indro januṣem uvoca | bodhāmasi tvā haryaśva yajñair bodhā na stomam andhaso madeṣu ||
Pressed is the juice divine with milk commingled: thereto hath Indra ever been accustomed. We wake thee, Lord of Bays, with sacrifices: mark this our laud in the wild joy of Soma.
pra yanti yajñaṃ vipayanti barhiḥ somamādo vidathe dudhravācaḥ | ny u bhriyante yaśaso gṛbhād ā dūraupabdo vṛṣaṇo nṛṣācaḥ ||
On to the rite they move, the grass they scatter, these Soma-drinkers eloquent in synod. Hither, for men to grasp, are brought the press-stones, far-thundering, famous, strong, that wait on heroes.
Indra, thou settest free the many waters that were encompassed, Hero, by the Dragon. Down rolled, as if on chariots borne, the rivers: through fear of thee all things created tremble.
bhīmo viveṣāyudhebhir eṣām apāṃsi viśvā naryāṇi vidvān | indraḥ puro jarhṛṣāṇo vi dūdhod vi vajrahasto mahinā jaghāna ||
Skilled in all manly deeds the God terrific hath with his weapons mastered these opponents. Indra in rapturous joy shook down their castles he slew them in his might, the Thunder-wielder.
न यातव इन्द्र जूजुवुर् नो न वन्दना शविष्ठ वेद्याभिः । स शर्धद् अर्यो विषुणस्य जन्तोर् मा शिश्नदेवा अपि गुर् ऋतं नः ॥
na yātava indra jūjuvur no na vandanā śaviṣṭha vedyābhiḥ | sa śardhad aryo viṣuṇasya jantor mā śiśnadevā api gur ṛtaṃ naḥ ||
No evil spirits have impelled us, Indra, nor fiends, O Mightiest God, with their devices. Let our true God subdue the hostile rabble: let not the lewd approach our holy worship.
अभि क्रत्वेन्द्र भूर् अध ज्मन् न ते विव्यङ् महिमानं रजांसि । स्वेना हि वृत्रं शवसा जघन्थ न शत्रुर् अन्तं विविदद् युधा ते ॥
abhi kratvendra bhūr adha jman na te vivyaṅ mahimānaṃ rajāṃsi | svenā hi vṛtraṃ śavasā jaghantha na śatrur antaṃ vividad yudhā te ||
Thou in thy strength surpassest Earth and Heaven: the regions comprehend not all thy greatness. With thine own power and might thou slewest Vrtra: no foe hath found the end of thee in battle.
devāś cit te asuryāya pūrve 'nu kṣatrāya mamire sahāṃsi | indro maghāni dayate viṣahyendraṃ vājasya johuvanta sātau ||
Even the earlier Deities submitted their powers to thy supreme divine dominion. Indra wins wealth and deals it out to other's: men in the strife for booty call on Indra.
The humble hath invoked thee for protection, thee, Lord of great felicity, O Indra. Thou with a hundred aids hast been our Helper: one who brings gifts like thee hath his defender.
सखायस् त इन्द्र विश्वह स्याम नमोवृधासो महिना तरुत्र । वन्वन्तु स्मा ते ऽवसा समीके ऽभीतिम् अर्यो वनुषां शवांसि ॥
sakhāyas ta indra viśvaha syāma namovṛdhāso mahinā tarutra | vanvantu smā te 'vasā samīke 'bhītim aryo vanuṣāṃ śavāṃsi ||
May we, O Indra, be thy friends for ever, eagerly, Conqueror, yielding greater homage. May, through thy grace, the strength of us who battle quell in the shock the onset of the foeman.
स न इन्द्र त्वयताया इषे धास् त्मना च ये मघवानो जुनन्ति । वस्वी षु ते जरित्रे अस्तु शक्तिर् यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
sa na indra tvayatāyā iṣe dhās tmanā ca ye maghavāno junanti | vasvī ṣu te jaritre astu śaktir yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
Place us by food which thou hast given, O Indra, us and the wealthy patrons who command us. Let thy great power bring good to him who lauds thee. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
