सूक्त २८

त्वा युजा तव तत्सोम सख्य इन्द्रो अपो मनवे सस्रुतस्कः। अहन्नहिमरिणात्सप्त सिन्धूनपावृणोदपिहितेव खानि॥

tvā yujā tava tatsoma sakhya indro apo manave sasrutaskaḥ | ahannahimariṇātsapta sindhūnapāvṛṇodapihiteva khāni ||

ALLIED with thee, in this thy friendship, Soma, Indra for man made waters flow together, Slew Ahi, and sent forth the Seven Rivers, and opened as it were obstructed fountains.

त्वा युजा नि खिदत्सूर्यस्येन्द्रश्चक्रं सहसा सद्य इन्दो। अधि ष्णुना बृहता वर्तमानं महो द्रुहो अप विश्वायु धायि॥

tvā yujā ni khidatsūryasyendraścakraṁ sahasā sadya indo | adhi ṣṇunā bṛhatā vartamānaṁ maho druho apa viśvāyu dhāyi ||

Indu, with thee for his confederate, Indra swiftly with might pressed down the wheel of Surya. What rolled, all life's support, on heaven's high summit was separated from the great oppressor.

अहन्निन्द्रो अदहदग्निरिन्दो पुरा दस्यून्मध्यंदिनादभीके। दुर्गे दुरोणे क्रत्वा न यातां पुरू सहस्रा शर्वा नि बर्हीत्॥

ahannindro adahadagnirindo purā dasyūnmadhyaṁdinādabhīke | durge duroṇe kratvā na yātāṁ purū sahasrā śarvā ni barhīt ||

Indra smote down, Agni consumed, O Indu, the Dasyus ere the noontide in the conflict. Of those who gladly sought a hard-won dwelling he cast down many a thousand with his arrow.

विश्वस्मात्सीमधमाँ इन्द्र दस्यून्विशो दासीरकृणोरप्रशस्ताः। अबाधेथाममृणतं नि शत्रूनविन्देथामपचितिं वधत्रैः॥

viśvasmātsīmadhamā indra dasyūnviśo dāsīrakṛṇorapraśastāḥ | abādhethāmamṛṇataṁ ni śatrūnavindethāmapacitiṁ vadhatraiḥ ||

Lower than all besides hast thou, O Indra, cast down the Dasyus, abject tribes of Dasas. Ye drave away, ye put to death the foemen, and took great vengeance with your murdering weapons.

एवा सत्यं मघवाना युवं तदिन्द्रश्च सोमोर्वमश्व्यं गोः। आदर्दृतमपिहितान्यश्ना रिरिचथुः क्षाश्चित्ततृदाना॥

evā satyaṁ maghavānā yuvaṁ tadindraśca somorvamaśvyaṁ goḥ | ādardṛtamapihitānyaśnā riricathuḥ kṣāścittatṛdānā ||

So, of a truth, Indra and Soma, Heroes, ye burst the stable of the kine and horses, The stable which the bar or stone obstructed; and piercing through set free the habitations.
