Sukta 57

इन्द्रा नु पूषणा वयं सख्याय स्वस्तये। हुवेम वाजसातये॥

indrā nu pūṣaṇā vayaṁ sakhyāya svastaye | huvema vājasātaye ||

INDRA and Pusan will we call for friend ship and prosperity And for the winning of the spoil.

सोममन्य उपासदत्पातवे चम्वोः सुतम्। करम्भमन्य इच्छति॥

somamanya upāsadatpātave camvoḥ sutam | karambhamanya icchati ||

One by the Soma sits to drink juice which the mortar hath expressed: The other longs for curd and meal.

अजा अन्यस्य वह्नयो हरी अन्यस्य सम्भृता। ताभ्यां वृत्राणि जिघ्नते॥

ajā anyasya vahnayo harī anyasya sambhṛtā | tābhyāṁ vṛtrāṇi jighnate ||

Goats are the team that draws the one: the other hath Bay Steeds at hand; With both of these he slays the fiends.

यदिन्द्रो अनयद्रितो महीरपो वृषन्तमः। तत्र पूषाभवत्सचा॥

yadindro anayadrito mahīrapo vṛṣantamaḥ | tatra pūṣābhavatsacā ||

When Indra, wondrous strong, brought down the streams, the mighty waterfloods, Pusan was standing by his side.

तां पूष्णः सुमतिं वयं वृक्षस्य प्र वयामिव। इन्द्रस्य चा रभामहे॥

tāṁ pūṣṇaḥ sumatiṁ vayaṁ vṛkṣasya pra vayāmiva | indrasya cā rabhāmahe ||

To this, to Pusan's favouring love, and Indra's, may we closely cling, As to a tree's extended bough.

उत्पूषणं युवामहेऽभीशूँरिव सारथिः। मह्या इन्द्रं स्वस्तये॥

utpūṣaṇaṁ yuvāmahe'bhīśūriva sārathiḥ | mahyā indraṁ svastaye ||

As one who drives a car draws in his reins, may we draw Pusan near, And Indra, for our great success.
