Sukta 19

यस्तिग्मशृङ्गो वृषभो न भीम एकः कृष्टीश्च्यावयति प्र विश्वाः। यः शश्वतो अदाशुषो गयस्य प्रयन्तासि सुष्वितराय वेदः॥

yastigmaśṛṅgo vṛṣabho na bhīma ekaḥ kṛṣṭīścyāvayati pra viśvāḥ | yaḥ śaśvato adāśuṣo gayasya prayantāsi suṣvitarāya vedaḥ ||

HE like a bull with sharpened horns, terrific, singly excites and agitates all the people: Thou givest him who largely pours libations his goods who pours not, for his own possession.

त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र कुत्समावः शुश्रूषमाणस्तन्वा समर्ये। दासं यच्छुष्णं कुयवं न्यस्मा अरन्धय आर्जुनेयाय शिक्षन्॥

tvaṁ ha tyadindra kutsamāvaḥ śuśrūṣamāṇastanvā samarye | dāsaṁ yacchuṣṇaṁ kuyavaṁ nyasmā arandhaya ārjuneyāya śikṣan ||

Thou, verily, Indra, gavest help to Kutsa, willingly giving car to him in battle, When, aiding Arjuneya, thou subduedst to him both Kuyava and the Dasa Susna.

त्वं धृष्णो धृषता वीतहव्यं प्रावो विश्वाभिरूतिभिः सुदासम्। प्र पौरुकुत्सिं त्रसदस्युमावः क्षेत्रसाता वृत्रहत्येषु पूरुम्॥

tvaṁ dhṛṣṇo dhṛṣatā vītahavyaṁ prāvo viśvābhirūtibhiḥ sudāsam | pra paurukutsiṁ trasadasyumāvaḥ kṣetrasātā vṛtrahatyeṣu pūrum ||

O Bold One, thou with all thine aids hast boldly holpen Sudas whose offerings were accepted, Puru in winning land and slaying foemen, and Trasadasyu son of Purukutsa.

त्वं नृभिर्नृमणो देववीतौ भूरीणि वृत्रा हर्यश्व हंसि। त्वं नि दस्युं चुमुरिं धुनिं चास्वापयो दभीतये सुहन्तु॥

tvaṁ nṛbhirnṛmaṇo devavītau bhūrīṇi vṛtrā haryaśva haṁsi | tvaṁ ni dasyuṁ cumuriṁ dhuniṁ cāsvāpayo dabhītaye suhantu ||

At the Gods' banquet, hero-souled! with Heroes, Lord of Bay Steeds, thou slewest many foemen. Thou sentest in swift death to sleep the Dasyu, both Cumuri and Dhuni, for Dabhiti.

तव च्यौत्नानि वज्रहस्त तानि नव यत्पुरो नवतिं च सद्यः। निवेशने शततमाविवेषीरहञ्च वृत्रं नमुचिमुताहन्॥

tava cyautnāni vajrahasta tāni nava yatpuro navatiṁ ca sadyaḥ | niveśane śatatamāviveṣīrahañca vṛtraṁ namucimutāhan ||

These were thy mighty powers that, Thunder-wielder, thou swiftly crushedst nine-and-ninety castles: Thou capturedst the hundredth in thine onslaught; thou slewest Namuci, thou slewest Vrtra.

सना ता त इन्द्र भोजनानि रातहव्याय दाशुषे सुदासे। वृष्णे ते हरी वृषणा युनज्मि व्यन्तु ब्रह्माणि पुरुशाक वाजम्॥

sanā tā ta indra bhojanāni rātahavyāya dāśuṣe sudāse | vṛṣṇe te harī vṛṣaṇā yunajmi vyantu brahmāṇi puruśāka vājam ||

Old are the blessings, Indra, which thou gavest Sudas the worshipper who brought oblations. For thee, the Strong, I yoke thy strong Bay Horses: may our prayers reach thee and win strength, Most Mighty!

मा ते अस्यां सहसावन्परिष्टावघाय भूम हरिवः परादै। त्रायस्व नोऽवृकेभिर्वरूथैस्तव प्रियासः सूरिषु स्याम॥

mā te asyāṁ sahasāvanpariṣṭāvaghāya bhūma harivaḥ parādai | trāyasva no'vṛkebhirvarūthaistava priyāsaḥ sūriṣu syāma ||

Give us not up, Lord of Bay Horses, Victor, in this thine own assembly, to the wicked. Deliver us with true and faithful succours: dear may we be to thee among the princes.

प्रियास इत्ते मघवन्नभिष्टौ नरो मदेम शरणे सखायः। नि तुर्वशं नि याद्वं शिशीह्यतिथिग्वाय शंस्यं करिष्यन्॥

priyāsa itte maghavannabhiṣṭau naro madema śaraṇe sakhāyaḥ | ni turvaśaṁ ni yādvaṁ śiśīhyatithigvāya śaṁsyaṁ kariṣyan ||

May we men, Maghavan, the friends thou lovest, near thee be joyful under thy protection. Fain to fulfil the wish of Atithigva humble. the pride of Turvasa and Yadva.

सद्यश्चिन्नु ते मघवन्नभिष्टौ नरः शंसन्त्युक्थशास उक्था। ये ते हवेभिर्वि पणीँरदाशन्नस्मान्वृणीष्व युज्याय तस्मै॥

sadyaścinnu te maghavannabhiṣṭau naraḥ śaṁsantyukthaśāsa ukthā | ye te havebhirvi paṇīradāśannasmānvṛṇīṣva yujyāya tasmai ||

Swiftly, in truth, O Maghavan, about thee men skilled in hymning sing their songs and praises. ' Elect us also into their assembly who by their calls on thee despoiled the niggards.

एते स्तोमा नरां नृतम तुभ्यमस्मद्र्यञ्चो ददतो मघानि। तेषामिन्द्र वृत्रहत्ये शिवो भूः सखा च शूरोऽविता च नृणाम्॥

ete stomā narāṁ nṛtama tubhyamasmadryañco dadato maghāni | teṣāmindra vṛtrahatye śivo bhūḥ sakhā ca śūro'vitā ca nṛṇām ||

Thine are these lauds, O manliest of heroes, lauds which revert to us and give us riches. Favour these, Indra, when they fight with faemen, as Friend and Hero and the heroes' Helper.

नू इन्द्र शूर स्तवमान ऊती ब्रह्मजूतस्तन्वा वावृधस्व। उप नो वाजान्मिमीह्युप स्तीन्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

nū indra śūra stavamāna ūtī brahmajūtastanvā vāvṛdhasva | upa no vājānmimīhyupa stīnyūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Now, lauded for thine aid, Heroic Indra, sped by our prayer, wax mighty in thy body. Apportion to us strength and habitations. Ye Gods, protect us evermore with blessings.
