Sukta 132

त्वया वयं मघवन्पूर्व्ये धन इन्द्रत्वोताः सासह्याम पृतन्यतो वनुयाम वनुष्यतः। नेदिष्ठे अस्मिन्नहन्यधि वोचा नु सुन्वते। अस्मिन्यज्ञे वि चयेमा भरे कृतं वाजयन्तो भरे कृतम्॥

tvayā vayaṁ maghavanpūrvye dhana indratvotāḥ sāsahyāma pṛtanyato vanuyāma vanuṣyataḥ | nediṣṭhe asminnahanyadhi vocā nu sunvate | asminyajñe vi cayemā bhare kṛtaṁ vājayanto bhare kṛtam ||

HELPED, Indra Maghavan, by thee in war of old, may we subdue in fight the men who strive with us, conquer the men who war with us. This day that now is close at hand bless him who pours the Soma juice. In this our sacrifice may we divide the spoil, showing our strength, the spoil of war.

स्वर्जेषे भर आप्रस्य वक्मन्युषर्बुधः स्वस्मिन्नञ्जसि क्राणस्य स्वस्मिन्नञ्जसि। अहन्निन्द्रो यथा विदे शीर्ष्णाशीर्ष्णोपवाच्यः। अस्मत्रा ते सध्र्यक्सन्तु रातयो भद्रा भद्रस्य रातयः॥

svarjeṣe bhara āprasya vakmanyuṣarbudhaḥ svasminnañjasi krāṇasya svasminnañjasi | ahannindro yathā vide śīrṣṇāśīrṣṇopavācyaḥ | asmatrā te sadhryaksantu rātayo bhadrā bhadrasya rātayaḥ ||

In war which wins the light, at the freegiver's call, at due oblation of the early-rising one, oblation of the active one, Indra slew, even as we know-whom each bowed head must reverence. May all thy bounteous gifts be gathered up for us, yea, the good gifts of thee the Good.

तत्तु प्रयः प्रत्नथा ते शुशुक्वनं यस्मिन्यज्ञे वारमकृण्वत क्षयमृतस्य वारसि क्षयम्। वि तद्वोचेरध द्वितान्तः पश्यन्ति रश्मिभिः। स घा विदे अन्विन्द्रो गवेषणो बन्धुक्षिद्भ्यो गवेषणः॥

tattu prayaḥ pratnathā te śuśukvanaṁ yasminyajñe vāramakṛṇvata kṣayamṛtasya vārasi kṣayam | vi tadvoceradha dvitāntaḥ paśyanti raśmibhiḥ | sa ghā vide anvindro gaveṣaṇo bandhukṣidbhyo gaveṣaṇaḥ ||

This food glows for thee as of old at sacrifice, wherein they made thee chooser of the place , for thou choosest the place of sacrifice. Speak thou and make it known to us they see within with beams of light. Indra, indeed, is found a seeker after spoil, spoil-seeker for his own allies.

नू इत्था ते पूर्वथा च प्रवाच्यं यदङ्गिरोभ्योऽवृणोरप व्रजमिन्द्र शिक्षन्नप व्रजम्। ऐभ्यः समान्या दिशास्मभ्यं जेषि योत्सि च। सुन्वद्भ्यो रन्धया कं चिदव्रतं हृणायन्तं चिदव्रतम्॥

nū itthā te pūrvathā ca pravācyaṁ yadaṅgirobhyo'vṛṇorapa vrajamindra śikṣannapa vrajam | aibhyaḥ samānyā diśāsmabhyaṁ jeṣi yotsi ca | sunvadbhyo randhayā kaṁ cidavrataṁ hṛṇāyantaṁ cidavratam ||

So now must thy great deed be lauded as of old, when for the Angirases thou openedst the stall, openedst, giving aid, the stall. In the same manner for us here fight thou and be victorious: To him who pours the juice give up the lawless man, the lawless who is wroth with us.

सं यज्जनान्क्रतुभिः शूर ईक्षयद्धने हिते तरुषन्त श्रवस्यवः प्र यक्षन्त श्रवस्यवः। तस्मा आयुः प्रजावदिद्बाधे अर्चन्त्योजसा। इन्द्र ओक्यं दिधिषन्त धीतयो देवाँ अच्छा न धीतयः॥

saṁ yajjanānkratubhiḥ śūra īkṣayaddhane hite taruṣanta śravasyavaḥ pra yakṣanta śravasyavaḥ | tasmā āyuḥ prajāvadidbādhe arcantyojasā | indra okyaṁ didhiṣanta dhītayo devā acchā na dhītayaḥ ||

When with wise plan the Hero leads the people forth, they conquer in the ordered battle, seeking fame, press, eager, onward seeking fame. To him in time of need they sing for life with offspring and with strength. Their hymns with Indra find a welcome place of rest: the hynins go forward to the Gods.

युवं तमिन्द्रापर्वता पुरोयुधा यो नः पृतन्यादप तंतमिद्धतं वज्रेण तंतमिद्धतम्। दूरे चत्ताय च्छन्त्सद्गहनं यदिनक्षत्। अस्माकं शत्रून्परि शूर विश्वतो दर्मा दर्षीष्ट विश्वतः॥

yuvaṁ tamindrāparvatā puroyudhā yo naḥ pṛtanyādapa taṁtamiddhataṁ vajreṇa taṁtamiddhatam | dūre cattāya cchantsadgahanaṁ yadinakṣat | asmākaṁ śatrūnpari śūra viśvato darmā darṣīṣṭa viśvataḥ ||

Indra and Parvata, our champions in the fight, di ive ye away each man who fain would war with us, drive him far from us with the bolt. Welcome to him concealed afar shall he the lair that he hath found. So may the Render rend our foes on every side, rend them, O Hero, everywhere.
