सूक्त ६३

त्वं महाँ इन्द्र यो ह शुष्मैर्द्यावा जज्ञानः पृथिवी अमे धाः। यद्ध ते विश्वा गिरयश्चिदभ्वा भिया दृळ्हासः किरणा नैजन्॥

tvaṁ mahā indra yo ha śuṣmairdyāvā jajñānaḥ pṛthivī ame dhāḥ | yaddha te viśvā girayaścidabhvā bhiyā dṛḻhāsaḥ kiraṇā naijan ||

THOU art the Mighty One; when born, O Indra, with power thou tcrrifiedst earth and heaven - When, in their fear of thee, all firm-set mountains and monstrous creatures shook like dust before thee.

आ यद्धरी इन्द्र विव्रता वेरा ते वज्रं जरिता बाह्वोर्धात्। येनाविहर्यतक्रतो अमित्रान्पुर इष्णासि पुरुहूत पूर्वीः॥

ā yaddharī indra vivratā verā te vajraṁ jaritā bāhvordhāt | yenāviharyatakrato amitrānpura iṣṇāsi puruhūta pūrvīḥ ||

When thy two wandering Bays thou drawest hither, thy praiser laid within thine arms the thunder, Wherewith, O Much-invoked, in will resistless, thou smitest foemen down and many a castle.

त्वं सत्य इन्द्र धृष्णुरेतान्त्वमृभुक्षा नर्यस्त्वं षाट्। त्वं शुष्णं वृजने पृक्ष आणौ यूने कुत्साय द्युमते सचाहन्॥

tvaṁ satya indra dhṛṣṇuretāntvamṛbhukṣā naryastvaṁ ṣāṭ | tvaṁ śuṣṇaṁ vṛjane pṛkṣa āṇau yūne kutsāya dyumate sacāhan ||

Faithful art thou, these thou defiest, Indra; thou art the Rbhus' Lord, heroic, victor. Thou, by his side, for young and glorious Kutsa, with steed and car in battle slewest Susna,

त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र चोदीः सखा वृत्रं यद्वज्रिन्वृषकर्मन्नुभ्नाः। यद्ध शूर वृषमणः पराचैर्वि दस्यूँर्योनावकृतो वृथाषाट्॥

tvaṁ ha tyadindra codīḥ sakhā vṛtraṁ yadvajrinvṛṣakarmannubhnāḥ | yaddha śūra vṛṣamaṇaḥ parācairvi dasyūryonāvakṛto vṛthāṣāṭ ||

That, as a friend, thou furtheredst, O Indra, when, Thundcrer, -strong in act, thou crushedst Vrtra; When, Hero, thou, great-souled, with easy conquest didst rend the Dasyus in their distant dwelling.

त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्रारिषण्यन्दृळ्हस्य चिन्मर्तानामजुष्टौ। व्यस्मदा काष्ठा अर्वते वर्घनेव वज्रिञ्छ्नथिह्यमित्रान्॥

tvaṁ ha tyadindrāriṣaṇyandṛḻhasya cinmartānāmajuṣṭau | vyasmadā kāṣṭhā arvate varghaneva vajriñchnathihyamitrān ||

This doest thou, and art not harmed, O Indra, e'en in the anger of the strongest mortal. Lay thou the race-course open for our horses: as with a club, slay, Thunderarmed 1 our foemen.

त्वां ह त्यदिन्द्रार्णसातौ स्वर्मीळ्हे नर आजा हवन्ते। तव स्वधाव इयमा समर्य ऊतिर्वाजेष्वतसाय्या भूत्॥

tvāṁ ha tyadindrārṇasātau svarmīḻhe nara ājā havante | tava svadhāva iyamā samarya ūtirvājeṣvatasāyyā bhūt ||

Hence men invoke thee, Indra, in the tumult of battle, in the light-bestowing conflict. This aid of thine, O Godlike One, was ever to be implored in deeds of might in combat.

त्वं ह त्यदिन्द्र सप्त युध्यन्पुरो वज्रिन्पुरुकुत्साय दर्दः। बर्हिर्न यत्सुदासे वृथा वर्गंहो राजन्वरिवः पूरवे कः॥

tvaṁ ha tyadindra sapta yudhyanpuro vajrinpurukutsāya dardaḥ | barhirna yatsudāse vṛthā vargaṁho rājanvarivaḥ pūrave kaḥ ||

Warring for Purukutsa thou, O Indra, Thunder-armed I breakest down the seven castles; Easily, for Sudis, like grass didst rend them, and out of need, King, broughtest gain to Puru.

त्वं त्यां न इन्द्र देव चित्रामिषमापो न पीपयः परिज्मन्। यया शूर प्रत्यस्मभ्यं यंसि त्मनमूर्जं न विश्वध क्षरध्यै॥

tvaṁ tyāṁ na indra deva citrāmiṣamāpo na pīpayaḥ parijman | yayā śūra pratyasmabhyaṁ yaṁsi tmanamūrjaṁ na viśvadha kṣaradhyai ||

O Indra, God who movest round about us, feed us with varied food plenteous as water- Food wherewithal, O Hero, thou bestowest vigour itself to flow to us for ever.

अकारि त इन्द्र गोतमेभिर्ब्रह्माण्योक्ता नमसा हरिभ्याम्। सुपेशसं वाजमा भरा नः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात्॥

akāri ta indra gotamebhirbrahmāṇyoktā namasā haribhyām | supeśasaṁ vājamā bharā naḥ prātarmakṣū dhiyāvasurjagamyāt ||

Prayers have been made by Gotamas, O Indra, addressed to thee, with laud for thy Bay Horses. Bring us in noble shape abundant riches. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early.
