सूक्त १७५

मत्स्यपायि ते महः पात्रस्येव हरिवो मत्सरो मदः। वृषा ते वृष्ण इन्दुर्वाजी सहस्रसातमः॥

matsyapāyi te mahaḥ pātrasyeva harivo matsaro madaḥ | vṛṣā te vṛṣṇa indurvājī sahasrasātamaḥ ||

GLAD thee: thy glory hath been quaffed, Lord of Bay Steeds, as 'twere the bowl's enlivening mead. For thee the Strong there is strong drink, mighty, omnipotent to win.

आ नस्ते गन्तु मत्सरो वृषा मदो वरेण्यः। सहावाँ इन्द्र सानसिः पृतनाषाळमर्त्यः॥

ā naste gantu matsaro vṛṣā mado vareṇyaḥ | sahāvā indra sānasiḥ pṛtanāṣāḻamartyaḥ ||

Let our strong drink, most excellent, exhilarating, come to thee, Victorious, Indra1 bringing gain, immortal conquering in fight,

त्वं हि शूरः सनिता चोदयो मनुषो रथम्। सहावान्दस्युमव्रतमोषः पात्रं न शोचिषा॥

tvaṁ hi śūraḥ sanitā codayo manuṣo ratham | sahāvāndasyumavratamoṣaḥ pātraṁ na śociṣā ||

Thou, Hero, winner of the spoil, urgest to speed the car of man. Burn, like a vessel with the flame, the lawless Dasyu, Conqueror!

मुषाय सूर्यं कवे चक्रमीशान ओजसा। वह शुष्णाय वधं कुत्सं वातस्याश्वैः॥

muṣāya sūryaṁ kave cakramīśāna ojasā | vaha śuṣṇāya vadhaṁ kutsaṁ vātasyāśvaiḥ ||

Empowered by thine own might, O Sage, thou stolest Sarya's chariot wheel. Thou barest Kutsa with the steeds of Wind to Susna as his death.

शुष्मिन्तमो हि ते मदो द्युम्निन्तम उत क्रतुः। वृत्रघ्ना वरिवोविदा मंसीष्ठा अश्वसातमः॥

śuṣmintamo hi te mado dyumnintama uta kratuḥ | vṛtraghnā varivovidā maṁsīṣṭhā aśvasātamaḥ ||

Most mighty is thy rapturous joy, most splendid is thine active power, Wherewith, foe-slaying, sending bliss, thou art supreme in gaining steeds.

यथा पूर्वेभ्यो जरितृभ्य इन्द्र मय इवापो न तृष्यते बभूथ। तामनु त्वा निविदं जोहवीमि विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम्॥

yathā pūrvebhyo jaritṛbhya indra maya ivāpo na tṛṣyate babhūtha | tāmanu tvā nividaṁ johavīmi vidyāmeṣaṁ vṛjanaṁ jīradānum ||

As thou, O Indra, to the ancient singers wast ever joy, as water to the thirsty, So unto thee I sing this invocation. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
