मो षु त्वा वाघतश्चनारे अस्मन्नि रीरमन्। आरात्ताच्चित्सधमादं न आ गहीह वा सन्नुप श्रुधि॥

mo ṣu tvā vāghataścanāre asmanni rīraman | ārāttāccitsadhamādaṁ na ā gahīha vā sannupa śrudhi ||

LET none, no, not thy worshippers, delay thee far away from us. Even from far away come thou unto our feast, or listen if already here.

ime hi te brahmakṛtaḥ sute sacā madhau na makṣa āsate | indre kāmaṁ jaritāro vasūyavo rathe na pādamā dadhuḥ ||

For here, like flies on honey, these who pray to thee sit by the juice that they have poured. Wealth-craving singers have on Indra set their hope, as men set foot upon a car.

रायस्कामो वज्रहस्तं सुदक्षिणं पुत्रो न पितरं हुवे॥

rāyaskāmo vajrahastaṁ sudakṣiṇaṁ putro na pitaraṁ huve ||

Longing for wealth I call on him, the Thunderer with the strong right hand, As a son calleth on his sire.

ima indrāya sunvire somāso dadhyāśiraḥ | tā ā madāya vajrahasta pītaye haribhyāṁ yāhyoka ā ||

These Soma juices, mixed with curd, have been expressed for Indra here. Come with thy Bay Steeds, Thunder-wielder, to our home, to drink them till they make thee glad.

śravacchrutkarṇa īyate vasūnāṁ nū cinno mardhiṣadgiraḥ | sadyaścidyaḥ sahasrāṇi śatā dadannakirditsantamā minat ||

May he whose ear is open hear us. He is asked for wealth: will he despise our prayer? Him who bestows at once a hundred thousand gifts none shall restrain when he would give.

स वीरो अप्रतिष्कुत इन्द्रेण शूशुवे नृभिः। यस्ते गभीरा सवनानि वृत्रहन्सुनोत्या च धावति॥

sa vīro apratiṣkuta indreṇa śūśuve nṛbhiḥ | yaste gabhīrā savanāni vṛtrahansunotyā ca dhāvati ||

The hero never checked by men hath gained his strength through Indra, he Who presses out and pours his deep libations forth, O Vrtra-slayer, unto thee.

भवा वरूथं मघवन्मघोनां यत्समजासि शर्धतः। वि त्वाहतस्य वेदनं भजेमह्या दूणाशो भरा गयम्॥

bhavā varūthaṁ maghavanmaghonāṁ yatsamajāsi śardhataḥ | vi tvāhatasya vedanaṁ bhajemahyā dūṇāśo bharā gayam ||

When thou dost drive the fighting men together be, thou Mighty One, the mighty's shield. May we divide the wealth of him whom thou hast slain: bring us, Unreachable, his goods.

सुनोता सोमपाव्ने सोममिन्द्राय वज्रिणे। पचता पक्तीरवसे कृणुध्वमित्पृणन्नित्पृणते मयः॥

sunotā somapāvne somamindrāya vajriṇe | pacatā paktīravase kṛṇudhvamitpṛṇannitpṛṇate mayaḥ ||

For Indra, Soma-drinker, armed with thunder, press the Soma juice. Make ready your dressed meats: cause him to favour us. The Giver blesses him who gives.

मा स्रेधत सोमिनो दक्षता महे कृणुध्वं राय आतुजे। तरणिरिज्जयति क्षेति पुष्यति न देवासः कवत्नवे॥

mā sredhata somino dakṣatā mahe kṛṇudhvaṁ rāya ātuje | taraṇirijjayati kṣeti puṣyati na devāsaḥ kavatnave ||

Grudge not, ye Soma pourers; stir you, pay the rites, for wealth, to the great Conqueror. Only the active conquers dwells in peace, and thrives: not for the niggard are the Gods.

नकिः सुदासो रथं पर्यास न रीरमत्। इन्द्रो यस्याविता यस्य मरुतो गमत्स गोमति व्रजे॥

nakiḥ sudāso rathaṁ paryāsa na rīramat | indro yasyāvitā yasya maruto gamatsa gomati vraje ||

No one hath overturned or stayed the car of him who freely gives. The man whom Indra and the Marut host defend comes to a stable full of kine.

Indra, that man when fighting shall obtain the spoil, whose strong defender thou wilt be. Be thou the gracious helper, Hero I of our cars, be thou the helper of our men.

उदिन्न्वस्य रिच्यतेंऽशो धनं न जिग्युषः। य इन्द्रो हरिवान्न दभन्ति तं रिपो दक्षं दधाति सोमिनि॥

udinnvasya ricyateṁ'śo dhanaṁ na jigyuṣaḥ | ya indro harivānna dabhanti taṁ ripo dakṣaṁ dadhāti somini ||

His portion is exceeding great like a victorious soldier's spoil. Him who is Indra, Lord of Bays, no foes subdue. He gives the Soma-pourer strength.

मन्त्रमखर्वं सुधितं सुपेशसं दधात यज्ञियेष्वा। पूर्वीश्चन प्रसितयस्तरन्ति तं य इन्द्रे कर्मणा भुवत्॥

Make for the Holy Gods a hymn that is not mean, but well-arranged and fair of form. Even many snares and bonds subdue not him who dwells with Indra through his sacrifice.

कस्तमिन्द्र त्वावसुमा मर्त्यो दधर्षति। श्रद्धा इत्ते मघवन्पार्ये दिवि वाजी वाजं सिषासति॥

kastamindra tvāvasumā martyo dadharṣati | śraddhā itte maghavanpārye divi vājī vājaṁ siṣāsati ||

Indra, what mortal will attack the man who hath his wealth in thee? The strong will win the spoil on the decisive day through faith in thee, O Maghavan.

maghonaḥ sma vṛtrahatyeṣu codaya ye dadati priyā vasu | tava praṇītī haryaśva sūribhirviśvā tarema duritā ||

In battles with the foe urge on our mighty ones who give the treasures dear to thee, And may we with our princes, Lord of Tawny Steeds! pass through all peril, led by thee.

तवेदिन्द्रावमं वसु त्वं पुष्यसि मध्यमम्। सत्रा विश्वस्य परमस्य राजसि नकिष्ट्वा गोषु वृण्वते॥

tavedindrāvamaṁ vasu tvaṁ puṣyasi madhyamam | satrā viśvasya paramasya rājasi nakiṣṭvā goṣu vṛṇvate ||

Thine, Indra, is the lowest wealth, thou cherishest the mid-most wealth, Thou ever rulest all the highest: in the fray for cattle none resisteth thee.

त्वं विश्वस्य धनदा असि श्रुतो य ईं भवन्त्याजयः। तवायं विश्वः पुरुहूत पार्थिवोऽवस्युर्नाम भिक्षते॥

tvaṁ viśvasya dhanadā asi śruto ya īṁ bhavantyājayaḥ | tavāyaṁ viśvaḥ puruhūta pārthivo'vasyurnāma bhikṣate ||

Thou art renowned as giving wealth to every one in all the battles that are fought. Craving protection, all these people of the earth, O Much-invoked, implore thy name.

यदिन्द्र यावतस्त्वमेतावदहमीशीय। स्तोतारमिद्दिधिषेय रदावसो न पापत्वाय रासीय॥

yadindra yāvatastvametāvadahamīśīya | stotāramiddidhiṣeya radāvaso na pāpatvāya rāsīya ||

If I, O Indra, were the Lord of riches ample as thine own, I should support the singer, God. who givest wealth! and not abandon him to woe.

शिक्षेयमिन्महयते दिवेदिवे राय आ कुहचिद्विदे। नहि त्वदन्यन्मघवन्न आप्यं वस्यो अस्ति पिता चन॥

śikṣeyaminmahayate divedive rāya ā kuhacidvide | nahi tvadanyanmaghavanna āpyaṁ vasyo asti pitā cana ||

Each day would I enrich the man who sang my praise, in whatsoever place he were. No kinship is there better, Maghavan, than thine: a father even is no more.

तरणिरित्सिषासति वाजं पुरंध्या युजा। आ व इन्द्रं पुरुहूतं नमे गिरा नेमिं तष्टेव सुद्र्वम्॥

taraṇiritsiṣāsati vājaṁ puraṁdhyā yujā | ā va indraṁ puruhūtaṁ name girā nemiṁ taṣṭeva sudrvam ||

With Plenty for his true ally the active man will gain the spoil. Your Indra, Much-invoked, I bend with song, as bends a wright his wheel of solid wood.

न दुष्टुती मर्त्यो विन्दते वसु न स्रेधन्तं रयिर्नशत्। सुशक्तिरिन्मघवन्तुभ्यं मावते देष्णं यत्पार्ये दिवि॥

na duṣṭutī martyo vindate vasu na sredhantaṁ rayirnaśat | suśaktirinmaghavantubhyaṁ māvate deṣṇaṁ yatpārye divi ||

A moral wins no riches by unworthy praise: wealth comes not to the niggard churl. Light is the task to give, O Maghavan, to one like me on the decisive day.

अभि त्वा शूर नोनुमोऽदुग्धा इव धेनवः। ईशानमस्य जगतः स्वर्दृशमीशानमिन्द्र तस्थुषः॥

abhi tvā śūra nonumo'dugdhā iva dhenavaḥ | īśānamasya jagataḥ svardṛśamīśānamindra tasthuṣaḥ ||

Like kine unmilked we call aloud, Hero, to thee, and sing thy praise, Looker on heavenly light, Lord of this moving world, Lord, Indra, of what moveth not.

न त्वावाँ अन्यो दिव्यो न पार्थिवो न जातो न जनिष्यते। अश्वायन्तो मघवन्निन्द्र वाजिनो गव्यन्तस्त्वा हवामहे॥

na tvāvā anyo divyo na pārthivo na jāto na janiṣyate | aśvāyanto maghavannindra vājino gavyantastvā havāmahe ||

None other like to thee, of earth or of the heavens, hath been or ever will be born. Desiring horses, Indra Maghavan! and kine, as men of might we call on thee.

अभी षतस्तदा भरेन्द्र ज्यायः कनीयसः। पुरूवसुर्हि मघवन्सनादसि भरेभरे च हव्यः॥

abhī ṣatastadā bharendra jyāyaḥ kanīyasaḥ | purūvasurhi maghavansanādasi bharebhare ca havyaḥ ||

Bring, Indra, the Victorious Ones; bring, elder thou, the younger host. For, Maghavan, thou art rich in treasures from of old, and must be called in every fight.

परा णुदस्व मघवन्नमित्रान्सुवेदा नो वसू कृधि। अस्माकं बोध्यविता महाधने भवा वृधः सखीनाम्॥

parā ṇudasva maghavannamitrānsuvedā no vasū kṛdhi | asmākaṁ bodhyavitā mahādhane bhavā vṛdhaḥ sakhīnām ||

Drive thou away our enemies, O Maghavan: make riches easy to be won. Be thou our good Protector in the strife for spoil: Cherisher of our friends be thou.

इन्द्र क्रतुं न आ भर पिता पुत्रेभ्यो यथा। शिक्षा णो अस्मिन्पुरुहूत यामनि जीवा ज्योतिरशीमहि॥

indra kratuṁ na ā bhara pitā putrebhyo yathā | śikṣā ṇo asminpuruhūta yāmani jīvā jyotiraśīmahi ||

O Indra, give us wisdom as a sire gives wisdom to his sons. Guide us, O Much-invoked, in this our way may we still live and look upon the light.

मा नो अज्ञाता वृजना दुराध्यो माशिवासो अव क्रमुः। त्वया वयं प्रवतः शश्वतीरपोऽति शूर तरामसि॥

mā no ajñātā vṛjanā durādhyo māśivāso ava kramuḥ | tvayā vayaṁ pravataḥ śaśvatīrapo'ti śūra tarāmasi ||

Grant that no mighty foes, unknown, malevolent, unhallowed, tread us to the ground. With thine assistance, Hero, may we ass through all the waters that are rul`ng down.
