[rv-8-70] • 15 श्लोकाः

यो राजा चर्षणीनां याता रथेभिरध्रिगुः । विश्वासां तरुता पृतनानां ज्येष्ठो यो वृत्रहा गृणे ॥

yo rājā carṣaṇīnāṃ yātā rathebhiradhriguḥ | viśvāsāṃ tarutā pṛtanānāṃ jyeṣṭho yo vṛtrahā gṛṇe ||

I praise that Indra who is the lord of men, who proceeds irresistible in his chariots, the breaker-throughof all armies, the pre-eminent one, the slayer of Vṛtra.

इन्द्रं तं शुम्भ पुरुहन्मन्नवसे यस्य द्विता विधर्तरि । हस्ताय वज्रः प्रति धायि दर्शतो महो दिवे न सूर्यः ॥

indraṃ taṃ śumbha puruhanmannavase yasya dvitā vidhartari | hastāya vajraḥ prati dhāyi darśato maho dive na sūryaḥ ||

Puruhanman, honour that Indra for your protection, for in your upholder there is a two-fold might; heholds in his hand (to smite his enemies) the glorious thunderbolt great as the sun in heaven.

नकिष्टं कर्मणा नशद्यश्चकार सदावृधम् । इन्द्रं न यज्ञैर्विश्वगूर्तमृभ्वसमधृष्टं धृष्ण्वोजसम् ॥

nakiṣṭaṃ karmaṇā naśadyaścakāra sadāvṛdham | indraṃ na yajñairviśvagūrtamṛbhvasamadhṛṣṭaṃ dhṛṣṇvojasam ||

None can touch him by his deeds, who has made Indra his friend by sacrifices-- (Indra) ever givingfresh strength, to be hymned by all, great, unconquered, of ever-daring might.

अषाऴ्हमुग्रं पृतनासु सासहिं यस्मिन्महीरुरुज्रयः । सं धेनवो जायमाने अनोनवुर्द्यावः क्षामो अनोनवुः ॥

aṣāḻhamugraṃ pṛtanāsu sāsahiṃ yasminmahīrurujrayaḥ | saṃ dhenavo jāyamāne anonavurdyāvaḥ kṣāmo anonavuḥ ||

(I laud) him who is not to be withstood, the mighty, the conqueror in hostile hosts; whom, when he wasborn, the strong rushing cows welcomed and the heavens and the earths praised.

यद्द्याव इन्द्र ते शतं शतं भूमीरुत स्युः । न त्वा वज्रिन्त्सहस्रं सूर्या अनु न जातमष्ट रोदसी ॥

yaddyāva indra te śataṃ śataṃ bhūmīruta syuḥ | na tvā vajrintsahasraṃ sūryā anu na jātamaṣṭa rodasī ||

Indra, were there a hundred heavens to compare with you, or were there a hundred earths-- Othunderer, not even a thousand suns woudl reveal you-- yes, no created thing would fill you, nor heaven andearth.

आ पप्राथ महिना वृष्ण्या वृषन्विश्वा शविष्ठ शवसा । अस्माँ अव मघवन्गोमति व्रजे वज्रिञ्चित्राभिरूतिभिः ॥

ā paprātha mahinā vṛṣṇyā vṛṣanviśvā śaviṣṭha śavasā | asmā~ ava maghavangomati vraje vajriñcitrābhirūtibhiḥ ||

Mightiest showerer (of blessings), you have filled all (our hosts) with your vast bountiful power; OMaghavan, thunderer, guard us with your manifold protections, (when we march) against the well-stockedcowpen of our enemies.

न सीमदेव आपदिषं दीर्घायो मर्त्यः । एतग्वा चिद्य एतशा युयोजते हरी इन्द्रो युयोजते ॥

na sīmadeva āpadiṣaṃ dīrghāyo martyaḥ | etagvā cidya etaśā yuyojate harī indro yuyojate ||

O long-lived Indra, the mortal who has not you as his deity obtains no food; (he who praises not) thatsteed-borne Indra, who yokes to his car the two variegated, who yokes the two bay steeds.

तं वो महो महाय्यमिन्द्रं दानाय सक्षणिम् । यो गाधेषु य आरणेषु हव्यो वाजेष्वस्ति हव्यः ॥

taṃ vo maho mahāyyamindraṃ dānāya sakṣaṇim | yo gādheṣu ya āraṇeṣu havyo vājeṣvasti havyaḥ ||

Great (priests), worship that Indra who is propitiated by gifts; who is to be invoked in the shallows andin the depths, and who is to be invoked in battles.

उदू षु णो वसो महे मृशस्व शूर राधसे । उदू षु मह्यै मघवन्मघत्तय उदिन्द्र श्रवसे महे ॥

udū ṣu ṇo vaso mahe mṛśasva śūra rādhase | udū ṣu mahyai maghavanmaghattaya udindra śravase mahe ||

O hero, giver of dwellings, raise up to enjoy abundant food; raise us up, Maghavan, for abundantwealth; raise us up, Indra, for abundant fame.

त्वं न इन्द्र ऋतयुस्त्वानिदो नि तृम्पसि । मध्ये वसिष्व तुविनृम्णोर्वोर्नि दासं शिश्नथो हथैः ॥

tvaṃ na indra ṛtayustvānido ni tṛmpasi | madhye vasiṣva tuvinṛmṇorvorni dāsaṃ śiśnatho hathaiḥ ||

Indra, who delights in offerings, you satisfy us abundantly with (the possession of him) who despisesyou; O you possessed of vast wealth, shelter us between your thighs; you smite down the Dāsa with yourblows.

अन्यव्रतममानुषमयज्वानमदेवयुम् । अव स्वः सखा दुधुवीत पर्वतः सुघ्नाय दस्युं पर्वतः ॥

anyavratamamānuṣamayajvānamadevayum | ava svaḥ sakhā dudhuvīta parvataḥ sughnāya dasyuṃ parvataḥ ||

May your friend, Parvata, hurl down from heaven him who follows other rites, the enemy of men, himwho offers no sacrifice and who worships not the gods; may Parvata hurl the Dasyu down to the storm smiter(death).

त्वं न इन्द्रासां हस्ते शविष्ठ दावने । धानानां न सं गृभायास्मयुर्द्विः सं गृभायास्मयुः ॥

tvaṃ na indrāsāṃ haste śaviṣṭha dāvane | dhānānāṃ na saṃ gṛbhāyāsmayurdviḥ saṃ gṛbhāyāsmayuḥ ||

Most powerful Indra, in your favour towards us, take these cows in your hand, as fried grain, to give tous; yes, take them twice in your favour towards us.

सखायः क्रतुमिच्छत कथा राधाम शरस्य । उपस्तुतिं भोजः सूरिर्यो अह्रयः ॥

sakhāyaḥ kratumicchata kathā rādhāma śarasya | upastutiṃ bhojaḥ sūriryo ahrayaḥ ||

Associated priests, give good heed to the sacrifice, for how can we (worthily) perform the praise of(Indra) the destroyer, who is the recompenser of enemies, the sender of reward, the unvanquished?

भूरिभिः समह ऋषिभिर्बर्हिष्मद्भिः स्तविष्यसे । यदित्थमेकमेकमिच्छर वत्सान्पराददः ॥

bhūribhiḥ samaha ṛṣibhirbarhiṣmadbhiḥ staviṣyase | yaditthamekamekamicchara vatsānparādadaḥ ||

Indra, the common object of our worship, you are praised by many sacrificing Ṛṣis; for it is you,destroyer of foes, who thus give calves in succession to your worshippers.

कर्णगृह्या मघवा शौरदेव्यो वत्सं नस्त्रिभ्य आनयत् । अजां सूरिर्न धातवे ॥

karṇagṛhyā maghavā śauradevyo vatsaṃ nastribhya ānayat | ajāṃ sūrirna dhātave ||

May Maghavan, taking them by the ears, lead the cows with their calves from our three (destructiveenemies), as the owner leads a goat to drink.
