Sukta 50

प्र वो महे मन्दमानायान्धसोऽर्चा विश्वानराय विश्वाभुवे। इन्द्रस्य यस्य सुमखं सहो महि श्रवो नृम्णं च रोदसी सपर्यतः॥

pra vo mahe mandamānāyāndhaso'rcā viśvānarāya viśvābhuve | indrasya yasya sumakhaṁ saho mahi śravo nṛmṇaṁ ca rodasī saparyataḥ ||

I LAUD your Mighty One who joyeth in the juice, him who is shared by all men, who created all; Indra, whose conquering strength is powerful in war, whose fame and manly vigour Heaven and Earth revere.

सो चिन्नु सख्या नर्य इनः स्तुतश्चर्कृत्य इन्द्रो मावते नरे। विश्वासु धूर्षु वाजकृत्येषु सत्पते वृत्रे वाप्स्वभि शूर मन्दसे॥

so cinnu sakhyā narya inaḥ stutaścarkṛtya indro māvate nare | viśvāsu dhūrṣu vājakṛtyeṣu satpate vṛtre vāpsvabhi śūra mandase ||

He with his friend is active, lauded, good to man, Indra who must be glorified by one like me. Hero, Lord of the brave, all cars are thy delight, warring with Vrtra, or for waters, or for spoil.

के ते नर इन्द्र ये त इषे ये ते सुम्नं सधन्यमियक्षान्। के ते वाजायासुर्याय हिन्विरे के अप्सु स्वासूर्वरासु पौंस्ये॥

ke te nara indra ye ta iṣe ye te sumnaṁ sadhanyamiyakṣān | ke te vājāyāsuryāya hinvire ke apsu svāsūrvarāsu pauṁsye ||

Who are the men whom thou wilt further, Indra, who strive to win thy bliss allied with riches? Who urged thee forward to exert thy power divine, to valour, in the war for waters on their fields?

भुवस्त्वमिन्द्र ब्रह्मणा महान्भुवो विश्वेषु सवनेषु यज्ञियः। भुवो नॄँश्च्यौत्नो विश्वस्मिन्भरे ज्येष्ठश्च मन्त्रो विश्वचर्षणे॥

bhuvastvamindra brahmaṇā mahānbhuvo viśveṣu savaneṣu yajñiyaḥ | bhuvo nṝścyautno viśvasminbhare jyeṣṭhaśca mantro viśvacarṣaṇe ||

Thou, Indra, through the holy prayer art mighty, worthy of sacrifice at all libations. In every fight thou castest heroes on the ground: thou art the noblest song, O Lord of all the folk.

अवा नु कं ज्यायान्यज्ञवनसो महीं त ओमात्रां कृष्टयो विदुः। असो नु कमजरो वर्धाश्च विश्वेदेता सवना तूतुमा कृषे॥

avā nu kaṁ jyāyānyajñavanaso mahīṁ ta omātrāṁ kṛṣṭayo viduḥ | aso nu kamajaro vardhāśca viśvedetā savanā tūtumā kṛṣe ||

Help now, as Highest, those who toil at sacrifice: well do the people know thy great protecting might. Thou shalt be Everlasing, Giver of success yea, on all these libations thou bestowest strength.

एता विश्वा सवना तूतुमा कृषे स्वयं सूनो सहसो यानि दधिषे। वराय ते पात्रं धर्मणे तना यज्ञो मन्त्रो ब्रह्मोद्यतं वचः॥

etā viśvā savanā tūtumā kṛṣe svayaṁ sūno sahaso yāni dadhiṣe | varāya te pātraṁ dharmaṇe tanā yajño mantro brahmodyataṁ vacaḥ ||

All these libations thou makest effectual, of which thou art thyself supporter, Son of Power. Therefore thy vessel is to be esteemed the best, sacrifice, holy text, prayer, and exalted speech.

ये ते विप्र ब्रह्मकृतः सुते सचा वसूनां च वसुनश्च दावने। प्र ते सुम्नस्य मनसा पथा भुवन्मदे सुतस्य सोम्यस्यान्धसः॥

ye te vipra brahmakṛtaḥ sute sacā vasūnāṁ ca vasunaśca dāvane | pra te sumnasya manasā pathā bhuvanmade sutasya somyasyāndhasaḥ ||

They who with flowing Soma pray to thee, O Sage, to pour on them thy gifts of opulence and wealth, May they come forward, through their spirit, on the path of bliss, in the wild joy of Soma juice effused.
