सूक्त २४

योनिष्ट इन्द्र सदने अकारि तमा नृभिः पुरुहूत प्र याहि। असो यथा नोऽविता वृधे च ददो वसूनि ममदश्च सोमैः॥

yoniṣṭa indra sadane akāri tamā nṛbhiḥ puruhūta pra yāhi | aso yathā no'vitā vṛdhe ca dado vasūni mamadaśca somaiḥ ||

A HOME is made for thee to dwell in, Indra: O Much-invoked, go thitherwith the heroes. That thou, to prosper us, mayst be our Helper, vouchsafe us wealth, rejoice with draughts of Soma.

गृभीतं ते मन इन्द्र द्विबर्हाः सुतः सोमः परिषिक्ता मधूनि। विसृष्टधेना भरते सुवृक्तिरियमिन्द्रं जोहुवती मनीषा॥

gṛbhītaṁ te mana indra dvibarhāḥ sutaḥ somaḥ pariṣiktā madhūni | visṛṣṭadhenā bharate suvṛktiriyamindraṁ johuvatī manīṣā ||

Indra, thy wish, twice-strong, is comprehended: pressed is the Soma, poured are pleasant juices. This hymn of praise, from loosened tongue, made perfect, draws Indra to itself with loud invoking.

आ नो दिव आ पृथिव्या ऋजीषिन्निदं बर्हिः सोमपेयाय याहि। वहन्तु त्वा हरयो मद्र्यञ्चमाङ्गूषमच्छा तवसं मदाय॥

ā no diva ā pṛthivyā ṛjīṣinnidaṁ barhiḥ somapeyāya yāhi | vahantu tvā harayo madryañcamāṅgūṣamacchā tavasaṁ madāya ||

Come, thou Impetuous; God, from earth or heaven; come to our holy grass to drink the Soma. Hither to me let thy Bay Horses bring thee to listen to our hymns and make thee joyful.

आ नो विश्वाभिरूतिभिः सजोषा ब्रह्म जुषाणो हर्यश्व याहि। वरीवृजत्स्थविरेभिः सुशिप्रास्मे दधद्वृषणं शुष्ममिन्द्र॥

ā no viśvābhirūtibhiḥ sajoṣā brahma juṣāṇo haryaśva yāhi | varīvṛjatsthavirebhiḥ suśiprāsme dadhadvṛṣaṇaṁ śuṣmamindra ||

Come unto us with all thine aids, accordant, Lord of Bay Steeds, accepting our devotions, Fair-helmeted, o'ercoming with the mighty, and lending us the strength of bulls, O Indra.

एष स्तोमो मह उग्राय वाहे धुरीवात्यो न वाजयन्नधायि। इन्द्र त्वायमर्क ईट्टे वसूनां दिवीव द्यामधि नः श्रोमतं धाः॥

eṣa stomo maha ugrāya vāhe dhurīvātyo na vājayannadhāyi | indra tvāyamarka īṭṭe vasūnāṁ divīva dyāmadhi naḥ śromataṁ dhāḥ ||

As to the chariot pole a vigorous courser, this laud is brought to the great strong Upholder. This hymn solicits wealth of thee: in heaven, as 'twere above the sky, set thou our glory.

एवा न इन्द्र वार्यस्य पूर्धि प्र ते महीं सुमतिं वेविदाम। इषं पिन्व मघवद्भ्यः सुवीरां यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

evā na indra vāryasya pūrdhi pra te mahīṁ sumatiṁ vevidāma | iṣaṁ pinva maghavadbhyaḥ suvīrāṁ yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

With precious things. O Indra, thus content us: may we attain to thine exalted favour. Send our chiefs plenteous food with hero children. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
