Sukta 69

सं वां कर्मणा समिषा हिनोमीन्द्राविष्णू अपसस्पारे अस्य। जुषेथां यज्ञं द्रविणं च धत्तमरिष्टैर्नः पथिभिः पारयन्ता॥

saṁ vāṁ karmaṇā samiṣā hinomīndrāviṣṇū apasaspāre asya | juṣethāṁ yajñaṁ draviṇaṁ ca dhattamariṣṭairnaḥ pathibhiḥ pārayantā ||

INDRA and Visnu, at my task's completion I urge you on with food and sacred service. Accept the sacrifice and grant us riches, leading us on by unobstructed pathways.

या विश्वासां जनितारा मतीनामिन्द्राविष्णू कलशा सोमधाना। प्र वां गिरः शस्यमाना अवन्तु प्र स्तोमासो गीयमानासो अर्कैः॥

yā viśvāsāṁ janitārā matīnāmindrāviṣṇū kalaśā somadhānā | pra vāṁ giraḥ śasyamānā avantu pra stomāso gīyamānāso arkaiḥ ||

Ye who inspire all hymns, Indra and Visnu, ye vessels who contain the Soma juices, May hymns of praise that now are sung address you, the lauds that are recited by the singers.

इन्द्राविष्णू मदपती मदानामा सोमं यातं द्रविणो दधाना। सं वामञ्जन्त्वक्तुभिर्मतीनां सं स्तोमासः शस्यमानास उक्थैः॥

indrāviṣṇū madapatī madānāmā somaṁ yātaṁ draviṇo dadhānā | saṁ vāmañjantvaktubhirmatīnāṁ saṁ stomāsaḥ śasyamānāsa ukthaiḥ ||

Lords of joy-giving draughts, Indra and Visnu, come, giving gifts of treasure, to the Soma. With brilliant rays of hymns let chanted praises, repeated with the lauds, adorn and deck you.

आ वामश्वासो अभिमातिषाह इन्द्राविष्णू सधमादो वहन्तु। जुषेथां विश्वा हवना मतीनामुप ब्रह्माणि शृणुतं गिरो मे॥

ā vāmaśvāso abhimātiṣāha indrāviṣṇū sadhamādo vahantu | juṣethāṁ viśvā havanā matīnāmupa brahmāṇi śṛṇutaṁ giro me ||

May your foe-conquering horses bring you hither, Indra and Visnu, sharers of the banquet. Of all our hymns accept the invocations list to my prayers and hear the songs I sing you.

इन्द्राविष्णू तत्पनयाय्यं वां सोमस्य मद उरु चक्रमाथे। अकृणुतमन्तरिक्षं वरीयोऽप्रथतं जीवसे नो रजांसि॥

indrāviṣṇū tatpanayāyyaṁ vāṁ somasya mada uru cakramāthe | akṛṇutamantarikṣaṁ varīyo'prathataṁ jīvase no rajāṁsi ||

This your deed, Indra-Visnu, must be lauded: widely ye strode in the wild joy of Soma. Ye made the firmament of larger compass, and made the regions broad for our existence.

इन्द्राविष्णू हविषा वावृधानाग्राद्वाना नमसा रातहव्या। घृतासुती द्रविणं धत्तमस्मे समुद्रः स्थः कलशः सोमधानः॥

indrāviṣṇū haviṣā vāvṛdhānāgrādvānā namasā rātahavyā | ghṛtāsutī draviṇaṁ dhattamasme samudraḥ sthaḥ kalaśaḥ somadhānaḥ ||

Strengthened with sacred offerings, IndraVisnu, first eaters, served with worship ana oblation, Fed with the holy oil, vouchsafe us riches ye are the lake, the vat that holds the Soma.

इन्द्राविष्णू पिबतं मध्वो अस्य सोमस्य दस्रा जठरं पृणेथाम्। आ वामन्धांसि मदिराण्यग्मन्नुप ब्रह्माणि शृणुतं हवं मे॥

indrāviṣṇū pibataṁ madhvo asya somasya dasrā jaṭharaṁ pṛṇethām | ā vāmandhāṁsi madirāṇyagmannupa brahmāṇi śṛṇutaṁ havaṁ me ||

Drink of this meath, O Indra, thou, and Visnu; drink ye your fill of Soma, Wonder-Workers. The sweet exhilarating juice hath reached you. Hear ye my prayers, give ear unto my calling.

उभा जिग्यथुर्न परा जयेथे न परा जिग्ये कतरश्चनैनोः। इन्द्रश्च विष्णो यदपस्पृधेथां त्रेधा सहस्रं वि तदैरयेथाम्॥

ubhā jigyathurna parā jayethe na parā jigye kataraścanainoḥ | indraśca viṣṇo yadapaspṛdhethāṁ tredhā sahasraṁ vi tadairayethām ||

Ye Twain have conquered, ne'er have yc been conquered: never hath either of the Twain been vanquished. Ye, Indra-Visnu, when ye fought the battle, produced this infinite with three divisions.
