सूक्त ११६

पिबा सोमं महत इन्द्रियाय पिबा वृत्राय हन्तवे शविष्ठ। पिब राये शवसे हूयमानः पिब मध्वस्तृपदिन्द्रा वृषस्व॥

pibā somaṁ mahata indriyāya pibā vṛtrāya hantave śaviṣṭha | piba rāye śavase hūyamānaḥ piba madhvastṛpadindrā vṛṣasva ||

DRINK Soma juice for mighty power and vigour, drink, Strongest One, that thou mayst smite down Vrtra. Drink thou, invoked, for strength, and riches: drink thou thy fill of meath and pour it down, O Indra.

अस्य पिब क्षुमतः प्रस्थितस्येन्द्र सोमस्य वरमा सुतस्य। स्वस्तिदा मनसा मादयस्वार्वाचीनो रेवते सौभगाय॥

asya piba kṣumataḥ prasthitasyendra somasya varamā sutasya | svastidā manasā mādayasvārvācīno revate saubhagāya ||

Drink of the foodful juice stirred into motion, drink what thou choosest of the flowing Soma. Giver of weal, be joyful in thy spirit, and turn thee hitherward to bless and prosper.

ममत्तु त्वा दिव्यः सोम इन्द्र ममत्तु यः सूयते पार्थिवेषु। ममत्तु येन वरिवश्चकर्थ ममत्तु येन निरिणासि शत्रून्॥

mamattu tvā divyaḥ soma indra mamattu yaḥ sūyate pārthiveṣu | mamattu yena varivaścakartha mamattu yena niriṇāsi śatrūn ||

Let heavenly Soma gladden thee, O Indra, let that effused among mankind delight thee. Rejoice in that whereby thou gavest freedom, and that whereby thou conquerest thy foemen.

आ द्विबर्हा अमिनो यात्विन्द्रो वृषा हरिभ्यां परिषिक्तमन्धः। गव्या सुतस्य प्रभृतस्य मध्वः सत्रा खेदामरुशहा वृषस्व॥

ā dvibarhā amino yātvindro vṛṣā haribhyāṁ pariṣiktamandhaḥ | gavyā sutasya prabhṛtasya madhvaḥ satrā khedāmaruśahā vṛṣasva ||

Let Indra come, impetuous, doubly mighty, to the poured juice, the Bull, with two Bay Coursers. With juices pressed in milk, with meath presented, glut evermore thy bolt, O Foe-destroyer.

नि तिग्मानि भ्राशयन्भ्राश्यान्यव स्थिरा तनुहि यातुजूनाम्। उग्राय ते सहो बलं ददामि प्रतीत्या शत्रून्विगदेषु वृश्च॥

ni tigmāni bhrāśayanbhrāśyānyava sthirā tanuhi yātujūnām | ugrāya te saho balaṁ dadāmi pratītyā śatrūnvigadeṣu vṛśca ||

Dash down, outffaming their sharp flaming weapons, the strong-holds of the men urged on by demons. I give thee, Mighty One, great strength and conquest: go, meet thy foes and rend them in the battle.

व्यर्य इन्द्र तनुहि श्रवांस्योजः स्थिरेव धन्वनोऽभिमातीः। अस्मद्र्यग्वावृधानः सहोभिरनिभृष्टस्तन्वं वावृधस्व॥

vyarya indra tanuhi śravāṁsyojaḥ sthireva dhanvano'bhimātīḥ | asmadryagvāvṛdhānaḥ sahobhiranibhṛṣṭastanvaṁ vāvṛdhasva ||

Extend afar the votary's fame and glory, as the firm archer's strength drives off the foeman. Ranged on our side, grown strong in might that conquers, never defeated, still increase thy body.

इदं हविर्मघवन्तुभ्यं रातं प्रति सम्राळहृणानो गृभाय। तुभ्यं सुतो मघवन्तुभ्यं पक्वोऽद्धीन्द्र पिब च प्रस्थितस्य॥

idaṁ havirmaghavantubhyaṁ rātaṁ prati samrāḻahṛṇāno gṛbhāya | tubhyaṁ suto maghavantubhyaṁ pakvo'ddhīndra piba ca prasthitasya ||

To thee have we presented this oblation: accept it, Sovran Ruler, free from anger. Juice, Maghavan, for thee is pressed and ripened: eat, Indra, drink of that which stirs to meet thee.

अद्धीदिन्द्र प्रस्थितेमा हवींषि चनो दधिष्व पचतोत सोमम्। प्रयस्वन्तः प्रति हर्यामसि त्वा सत्याः सन्तु यजमानस्य कामाः॥

addhīdindra prasthitemā havīṁṣi cano dadhiṣva pacatota somam | prayasvantaḥ prati haryāmasi tvā satyāḥ santu yajamānasya kāmāḥ ||

Eat, Indra, these oblations which approach thee: be pleased with food made ready and with Soma. With entertainment we receive thee friendly: effectual be the sacrificer's wishes.

प्रेन्द्राग्निभ्यां सुवचस्यामियर्मि सिन्धाविव प्रेरयं नावमर्कैः। अया इव परि चरन्ति देवा ये अस्मभ्यं धनदा उद्भिदश्च॥

prendrāgnibhyāṁ suvacasyāmiyarmi sindhāviva prerayaṁ nāvamarkaiḥ | ayā iva pari caranti devā ye asmabhyaṁ dhanadā udbhidaśca ||

I send sweet speech to Indra and to Agni: with hymns I speed it like a boat through waters. Even thus, the Gods seem moving round about me, the fountains and bestowers of our riches.
