Sukta 27

इन्द्रं नरो नेमधिता हवन्ते यत्पार्या युनजते धियस्ताः। शूरो नृषाता शवसश्चकान आ गोमति व्रजे भजा त्वं नः॥

indraṁ naro nemadhitā havante yatpāryā yunajate dhiyastāḥ | śūro nṛṣātā śavasaścakāna ā gomati vraje bhajā tvaṁ naḥ ||

MEN call on Indra in the armed encounter that he may make the hymns they sing decisive. Hero, rejoicing in thy might, in combat give us a portion of the stall of cattle,

य इन्द्र शुष्मो मघवन्ते अस्ति शिक्षा सखिभ्यः पुरुहूत नृभ्यः। त्वं हि दृळ्हा मघवन्विचेता अपा वृधि परिवृतं न राधः॥

ya indra śuṣmo maghavante asti śikṣā sakhibhyaḥ puruhūta nṛbhyaḥ | tvaṁ hi dṛḻhā maghavanvicetā apā vṛdhi parivṛtaṁ na rādhaḥ ||

Grant, Indra Maghavan, invoked of many, to these my friends the strength which thou possessest. Thou, Maghavan, hast rent strong places open: unclose for us, Wise God, thy hidden bounty.

इन्द्रो राजा जगतश्चर्षणीनामधि क्षमि विषुरूपं यदस्ति। ततो ददाति दाशुषे वसूनि चोदद्राध उपस्तुतश्चिदर्वाक्॥

indro rājā jagataścarṣaṇīnāmadhi kṣami viṣurūpaṁ yadasti | tato dadāti dāśuṣe vasūni codadrādha upastutaścidarvāk ||

King of the living world, of men, is Indra, of all in varied form that earth containeth. Thence to the worshipper he giveth riches: may he enrich us also when we laud him.

नू चिन्न इन्द्रो मघवा सहूती दानो वाजं नि यमते न ऊती। अनूना यस्य दक्षिणा पीपाय वामं नृभ्यो अभिवीता सखिभ्यः॥

nū cinna indro maghavā sahūtī dāno vājaṁ ni yamate na ūtī | anūnā yasya dakṣiṇā pīpāya vāmaṁ nṛbhyo abhivītā sakhibhyaḥ ||

Maghavan Indra, when we all invoke him, bountiful ever sendeth strength to aid us: Whose perfect guerdon, never failing, bringeth wealth to the men, to friends the thing they covet.

नू इन्द्र राये वरिवस्कृधी न आ ते मनो ववृत्याम मघाय। गोमदश्वावद्रथवद्व्यन्तो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

nū indra rāye varivaskṛdhī na ā te mano vavṛtyāma maghāya | gomadaśvāvadrathavadvyanto yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Quick, Indra, give us room and way to riches, and let us bring thy mind to grant us treasures, That we may win us cars and Steeds and cattle. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
