सूक्त २६

न सोम इन्द्रमसुतो ममाद नाब्रह्माणो मघवानं सुतासः। तस्मा उक्थं जनये यज्जुजोषन्नृवन्नवीयः शृणवद्यथा नः॥

na soma indramasuto mamāda nābrahmāṇo maghavānaṁ sutāsaḥ | tasmā ukthaṁ janaye yajjujoṣannṛvannavīyaḥ śṛṇavadyathā naḥ ||

SOMA unpressed ne'er gladdened liberal Indra, no juices pressed without a prayer have pleased him. I generate a laud that shall delight him, new and heroic, so that he may hear us.

उक्थौक्थे सोम इन्द्रं ममाद नीथेनीथे मघवानं सुतासः। यदीं सबाधः पितरं न पुत्राः समानदक्षा अवसे हवन्ते॥

ukthaukthe soma indraṁ mamāda nīthenīthe maghavānaṁ sutāsaḥ | yadīṁ sabādhaḥ pitaraṁ na putrāḥ samānadakṣā avase havante ||

At every laud the Soma gladdens Indra: pressed juices please him as each psalm is chanted, What time the priests with one united effort call him to aid, as sons invoke their father.

चकार ता कृणवन्नूनमन्या यानि ब्रुवन्ति वेधसः सुतेषु। जनीरिव पतिरेकः समानो नि मामृजे पुर इन्द्रः सु सर्वाः॥

cakāra tā kṛṇavannūnamanyā yāni bruvanti vedhasaḥ suteṣu | janīriva patirekaḥ samāno ni māmṛje pura indraḥ su sarvāḥ ||

These deeds he did; let him achieve new exploits, such as the priests declare at their libations. Indra hath taken and possessed all castles, like as one common husband doth his spouses.

एवा तमाहुरुत शृण्व इन्द्र एको विभक्ता तरणिर्मघानाम्। मिथस्तुर ऊतयो यस्य पूर्वीरस्मे भद्राणि सश्चत प्रियाणि॥

evā tamāhuruta śṛṇva indra eko vibhaktā taraṇirmaghānām | mithastura ūtayo yasya pūrvīrasme bhadrāṇi saścata priyāṇi ||

Even thus have they declared him. Famed is Indra as Conqueror, sole distributer of treasures; Whose many succours come in close succession. May dear delightful benefits attend us.

एवा वसिष्ठ इन्द्रमूतये नॄन्कृष्टीनां वृषभं सुते गृणाति। सहस्रिण उप नो माहि वाजान्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

evā vasiṣṭha indramūtaye nṝnkṛṣṭīnāṁ vṛṣabhaṁ sute gṛṇāti | sahasriṇa upa no māhi vājānyūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Thus, to bring help to men, Vasistha laudeth Indra, the peoples' Hero, at libation. Bestow upon us strength and wealth in thousands. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
