1.  ``Day-in-day-out we call upon him,
    who is effective at making wellformed [states of mind], to help
    like yielding-much-milk [cow] [is called] to a milkman.

2.  Come to our pressings,
    drink Soma, O Soma-drinker!
    Exhilaration of a wealthy [patron] is just that of giving cows.

3.  Now, let us become acquainted
    with thy innermost favourable dispositions!
    Do not overlook us, come here!''
------

4.  Go away!¹ Ask [about that] non-distracted
    capable-of-rapid-moves piling up pulsations
    ``Indra'' who [is,] preferably, among thy companions.

5.  And let them speak to us of imposed constraints --- 
    even from another motive, ye² have risen out [of them]
    [thus] obtaining a gesture of commitment to Indra.

6.  And [let] the tending upwards one³ [bring to] us good fortunes.
    O accomplishing wonderful deeds one, the tribes might say,
    ``Might we be in the refuge of Indra!''
------

7.  Bring here swift one⁴ for swift one⁵!
    [Bring] auspicious-for-a-sacrifice, exhilarating-to-men one⁶!
    He shall fly to [him who is] making [his] companions exhilarated.

8.  Drinking it, O having hundred wiles one,
    thou became the destroyer of obstacles,⁷.
    During rushes of vigour thou favoured him who is capable of rushes of vigour.

9.  Such thee, capable of a rush of vigour during rushes of vigour,
    we make vigorous, O having a hundred wiles one,
    to gain the prizes, O Indra!
------

10. Who is a stream of treasure --- mighty, giving an easy passage,
    a companion of him who presses Soma ---
    to him, to Indra, ye shall chant!,⁸

1.  Here now, come ye here, sit down!
    Ye shall start chanting to Indra,
    O conveying [him] with a hymn of praise companions,

2.  [to] the best-among-many of many [deva-s],
    [to] being in charge of to-be-chosen ones,
    [to] Indra --- in the presence of extracted Soma.

3.  He surely shall be there for us when [we are] engaged [in a war]
    he [shall be there] for the sake of the treasure, he [shall be there] during bearing fullness [vision]¹
    he shall come with rushes of vigour -- for our sake.

4.  In whose presence enemies do not rely²
    on two tawny ones for clashes ---
    to that Indra ye shall chant.

5.  For the drinker of extracted [Soma] to become aroused,
    these gleaming mixed-with-coagulated-milk
    drops of Soma do flow.
------

6.  Thou --- to drink extracted [Soma] ---
    became manifested stronger at once
    for the sake of preeminence, O having good designs Indra!

7.  Let quick Soma drops
    enter thee, O longing for a chant Indra!
    Let them be auspicious for thee [who is] foresighted!

8.  Hymns of praise have strengthened thee,
    the verses [have strengthened] thee, O having a hundred wiles one,
    Let our chants strengthen thee!

9.  He, in whom all manly deeds are,
    [whose] side-effects do not taper off --- Indra ---
    can procure this having thousand [effects] rush of vigour.

10. May not mortals maliciously assail us!
    Being in charge of [our] bodies, O longing for a chant Indra,
    do ward off the deadly weapon!

1.  They yoke reddening tempered one¹
    [that is] roaming about those² that have surrounded it.
    Luminous spheres in the sky brighten.

2.  They yoke his two amiable spreading-one's-wings
    tawny ones to the chariot ---
    the two reddish daring conveying-the-man ones.

3.  Creating focal-point for him who lacks a focal-point,
    adornment [with the rush of vigour]³ for him --- O recruits, who lacks [such] adornment,
    thou became manifested together with dawns.

4.  Then they on their own accord 
    have cast [him] back to being an embryo,
    [thus] obtaining [in him] worthy-of-a-sacrifice characteristic.

5.  By means of good-at-breaking-up [drops of inner Soma]
    thou found, following appearing at dawn [waters], even the strong [one⁴],
    by means of carriers,⁵ [thou found] even hidden ones.

6.  As those making-an-appeal-to-the-deva [find their way]
    to a mental gesture, the chants find their way
    towards finding-what's-beneficial mighty famed one.

7.  Because together with Indra thou⁶, having come into contact
    with [someone who] has-become-fearless, would see the two,
    having similar vital power, [as] conducive to joy,

8.  [thy] possessing overwhelming strength fighting spirit [will] shine
    together with faultless directed towards the Heaven
    amiable troops,⁷ of Indra.

9.  From there⁸ or from the luminous sphere of the Heaven,
    come here, O moving around one!
    The chants arrange themselves in this one.

10. We ask Indra for a gain
    either from here, or from the Heaven, from the earthly region
    or from the vast airy realm.

1.  Those, far and wide, familiar with songs [found their way] just to Indra,
    those familiar with hymns of illumination --- with with hymns of illumination [found their way] to Indra,
    melodies found their way to Indra.

2.  In the presence of two tawny ones only Indra
    [is] endowed with the two that are yoked by an utterance.
    Indra [is] enchanting thunderbolt-wielder.

3.  Indra made the sun to rise in the Heaven¹
    to observe [it] at length.
    By means of evocative expressions he de-energized the rock.

4.  O Indra, do drive us into rushes of vigour
    and into thousand-fold prizes [of victory],
    [thou,] ferocious because of the side-effects!

5.  We call upon Indra
    in great contest, in small one ---
    harnessed thunderbolt-wielder [we call upon] midst obstacles.

6.  Such thou, O our bull, uncover for us,
    O always granting one, that pot,
    thou, being unrepulsable!

7.  Which are superior in every assault ---
    [those are] hymns of praise of thunderbolt-wielder Indra.
    I do not lack a correctly articulated praise of him.

8.  The bull falls upon tribes 
    like an ox upon a herd --- vigorously,
    [as] unrepulsable being-in-charge one.

9.  Who alone rules again and again 
    over those that draw to themselves,², over beneficial [things] 
    [that is] Indra [who rules] over five clans.

10. For ye everywhere we summon Indra
    away from [other] people.
    May he be exclusively ours!

1.  O Indra, in order to help, bring here
    laden with spoils treasure [that is] accompanied by victory,
    [that is] always prevailing, the most excellent!

2.  [That treasure] with which by means of a fist-fight
    we shall keep down obstacles [to victory] ---
    [we,] helped-by-thee, and by the courser¹, [we shall keep them] down.

3.  O Indra, helped-by-thee, we, the strike-force,
    might take hold of the thunderbolt,
    we might subdue completely [our] adversaries in clash.

4.  We together with agents of change, with shooters,
    we, together with harnessed-thee, O Indra,
    were able to overpower those who assailed us.
------

5.  Mighty [is] Indra and extreme.
    May now the power to expand be for a thunderbolt-wielder
    the power to change --- like the sky in [its] extension [--- limitless].

6.  Men who obtain it either in a hostile encounter,
    at obtainment of children, or [being] inwardly excited,
    [become] seeking-it-by-means-of-visualization.

7.  Which cavity [is] the most-drinking of Soma,
    like the sea² it swells,
    like a gullet [containing³] excessive waters.
------

8.  Since only his [benevolence⁴] [is]
    well-fitting copious rich-in-cows great,
    [it is] for a worshiper like a ripe branch.

9.  Since only thy, O Indra, means of helping
    [are] plentiful for someone like me,
    they are [there] for a worshiper present in an instant.

10. Since only a verse and a hymn of praise of him
    [are] desirable [to him], [those two are] to-be-recited
    for Indra to drink Soma.

1.  O Indra, move here, revel in the herb
    with all [of its] Soma-joints,¹!
    [Thou are] mighty assistant by means of a frenzy.

2.  Him they shall let loose into extracted [Soma] --- 
    delighting one² for possessing-of-delight Indra,
    doing for the doer of everything.

3.  Exhilarate thyself here, O selective one,
    with delighting hymns of praise, O drawing everyone to thyself,
    at these pressings [of Soma]!

4.  Chants for thee, O Indra, have poured out
    they have sprung upwards, towards thee,
    they, not [yet] gratified [with thy presence], --- towards appearing-as-a -bull master.

5.  Hither impel capturing attention
    to-be-preferred [to all others] 
    satisfaction of [our] desire, O Indra!

6.  Inspire us well into that, O Indra,
    for the sake of the treasure, [us, who] have zeal, 
    have worth, O having abundant powers to illuminate one!

7.  Combine in us, O Indra, rich-in-cows
    possessing the rush of vigour extensive loud auditory impression
    [and] all-pervading undecaying life-force!

8.  Put into us loud auditory impression [and]
    best-at-procuring-thousand[-opportunities] power to illuminate,
    O Indra, these [are] carried-in-a-chariot³ libations!

9.  Indra, the overseer of what's beneficent,
    [the overseer] of extolled with chants beneficent [treasure] 
    him, [who is] to-be-praised-in-verses, who is coming to help, we shall be calling.

10. [To him who is] at-home⁴ at every Soma libation, [he⁵ who is] tending upwards,
    [sings] just here to the lofty one a lofty [sāman]⁶
    for Indra he sings high-spirited [sāman].

1.  Those familiar with songs in Gāyatrī-meter praise thee in [such a] song, praise thee with [such] hymn,
    those familiar with hymns of illumination recommend thee with a hymn of illumination,
    formulators extend thee, O having a hundred wiles one,
    upwards like a cane.

2.  When from summit to summit he has ascended,
    [and] has beheld much to be accomplished,
    then Indra fixes the mind upon the purpose,
    [and, having become] powerful, by means of the herd¹ he shakes [the entire body].
------

3.  Do yoke two well-fed
    hairy tawny bulls,
    then, O Soma-drinking Indra,
    move to the range of hearing our chants!

4.  Move here, join in singing hymns of praise!
    Approve [them], cry roar!
    And our formulation is at hand, O beneficent one!
    And do strengthen the sacrifice, O Indra!
------

5.  For Indra a strengthening verse
    [is] to be recited, to often-attaining-[his]-aim one,
    so that he, empowering us during Soma pressings,
    would also take pleasure in partnerships [with us].

6.  Just him we approach in friendship, 
    him for the sake of treasure, him, when having manly vigour.
    And he, empowering, shall empower us ---
    imparting-what's-beneficial Indra.
------

7.  Do uncover enclosure of cows ---
    easy-to-discover, easy-to-drive-out-from!
    O Indra, [such] honour is only given by thee!
    Effect accomplishment of [our] desire, O stone-wielder!

8.  Surely not the two Rodas-es
    invigorate thee [when thou are] raving!
    Do thou, gaining possessing-of-svar waters,
    shake off,² cows for us!

9.  O having-hearing-ears one! Hear the call!
    Right now do accept my chants!
    O Indra, make this my hymn of praise
    more intimate [to thee than] even a yokemate!

10. Since we know thee as the most bull-like,
    hearing the summons during rushes of vigour,
    we summon best-at-procuring-thousand-[opportunities]
    help of [him who is] the most bull-like.

11. Here then, for our sake, O Indra of Kuśika-s,
    becoming exhilarated, drink extracted [Soma]!
    Quickly transfer [across the barrier] fresh [portion of] the life-force!
    Create procuring-thousand-[verses] seer!

12. May these chants be around thee,
    O longing for a chant one, in every way!
    May advancements follow him whose life-force was strengthened,
    may enjoyments be agreeable [to him]!

1.  [It is] Indra, whose expanse is like that of a sea,
    [whom] all chants strengthened,
    the best charioteer of [all] charioteers, of rushes of vigour,
    overseeing-what's-to-become-real master.
------

2.  They who are capable of rushes of vigour, [have] relation to thee, O Indra!
    We shall not be afraid, O master of the power to change!
    To thee we are finding again and again our way,
    to the unconquered conqueror.
------

3.  Many [are] Indra's gifts.
    [His] ways of helping do not come to an end,
    if to hymn singers he increases the bounty
    of rich-in-cows rush of vigour.

4.  Breaker of strongholds, youthful, gifted with insight,
    having immense vigour he came into existence ---
    Indra, supporter of every action,
    much-eulogized thunderbolt-wielder.
------

5.  Thou have uncovered, O stone-wielder, 
    the aperture of rich-in-cows cavern,
    being-brought-to-fore deva-s
    of him who has-become-fearless should impelled thee.

6.  With thy gifts, O agent of change,
    I returned uttering [verses] to the river¹.
    Singers of eulogies assisted [me], O longing for chant one,
    they have experienced that of thee.

7.  Using powers of framing [ideas and perception], thou, O Indra,
    degraded having-the-power-to-frame-[ideas and perception] Śuṣṇa.
    Possessing of mental vigour, they have experienced those of thee,
    elevate² their auditory impressions!
------

8.  Hymns of praise have found their way
    towards Indra who is in charge by means of a frenzy,
    and whose gifts are a thousand
    or even more.

2.  O Marut-s, at the right moment drink
    from [the cup of] the purifier; purify the sacrifice --- 
    since you surely exist, O generous ones! 

1.  Let tawny ones convey thee, the bull,
    here to drink Soma, thee, O Indra ---
    those guiding that which vivifies,¹.

2.  [Since] these dripping with ghee grains,
    [and] two tawny ones would lead Indra hither
    on the most easy-going chariot,

3.  upon Indra we call at day-break
    upon Indra during [already] active proceeding on its way [sacrifice],
    upon Indra --- to drink Soma.
------

4.  For our extracted [Soma] come here
    by means of hairy tawny ones,
    since we call upon thee during Soma-pressing!

5.  Such thou, do come here to this our hymn of praise
    for this incited [by thee] Soma pressing!
    Drink like thirsty wild ass!

6.  These drops of Soma juice,
    extracted over the sacrificial grass drops of pure Soma,
    drink them for an overwhelming strength, O Indra!
------

7.  This hymn of praise for thee, 
    let it be a touching-the-heart most-pacifying precursor!
    Now then, drink extracted Soma!

8.  For the sake of exhilaration Indra sets out
    to just about every incited [by him] Soma pressing,
    [he,] Vṛtra-slayer, to drink Soma.

9.  Such [--- daring ---]² fulfill our longing with evocative expressions,³,
    with horses,⁴, O having a hundred wiles one!
    May we, quite anxious, extol thee!

1.  I prefer help of two joint rulers, 
    of Indra [and] Varuṇa,
    so that those two would be favorable to endowed with such qualities [as] us.¹

2.  Since you two are are coming in order to help
    to a call of someone inspired like me,
    [you both are] using those that draw to themselves,².

3.  May you two, O Indra [and] Varuṇa,
    make [our] pursuit here of the desire for the treasure to satisfy you two!
    We ask such you two in the first place.

4.  Since enabling powers [are] belonging to you both, 
    [since] effective mental gestures [are] belonging to you both,
    we could be [partaking] of those that are granting a rush of vigour.

5.  ``Indra [has powers] that are granting thousands [of companions],
    Varuṇa [has powers that are granting] praiseworthy [companions].''
    [Such] understanding is to be praised.

6.  With help of just those two we might procure [praiseworthy companions]
    and let us keep [them]
    even if there might be plenty [of them]!

7.  O Indra [and] Varuṇa! I call upon you two
    for the sake of conspicuous satisfaction of [our] desire!
    May you two quickly make us victorious!

8.  O Indra [and] Varuṇa! Just now,
    when visualizations [are] striving to gain you two,
    stretch out a shelter for us!

9.  May the correctly articulated praise that I invoke,
    reach you two, O Indra [and] Varuṇa,
    [the correctly articulated praise] that you two favour as a joint praise.

1.  Thou are invoked upon this agreeable 
    proceeding on its path [sacrifice] for protection.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!

2.  Surely not a deva, nor a mortal
    is mighty beyond thy resourcefulness.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!
------

3.  Who have become acquainted with the great region
    [those] all [are] free from malice deva-s.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!

4.  Who, ferocious, have shined the ray
    [those are] not impaired through vigour.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!

5.  Who [are] replenishing, terrifying like a phantom,
    [those are] conferring power, devouring gaps [in one's person]. 
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!

6.  Who [are] above the luminous sphere of the Heaven's vault 
    [those are] deva-s [that] abide in the Heaven.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!

7.  [Those,] who cause the knotty ones to move back and forth, 
    [are] beyond the restless sea¹.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here! 

8.  Who here have spread by means of rays,
    [those are] through [their] vigour beyond the sea. 
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here! 
------

9.  For the sake of precedence in drinking
    into thee² I pour containing Soma honey.
    Through Marut-s, O Agni, come here!

1.  To this place I invite Indra [and] Agni.
    We wish only theirs hymn of praise.
    Those two, best Soma-drinkers, [wish] Soma.

2.  Those two do ye stimulate during sacrifices!
    Do array Indra [and] Agni, O men!
    Ye shall chant to those two in Gāyatrī verses.

3.  Those two to ensure [their] amity¹ --- 
    those Indra [and] Agni we call upon,
    two Soma-drinkers to drink Soma.

4.  We summon the two being ferocious 
    to this incited [by them] Soma pressing.
    Indra [and] Agni shall come to this place.

5.  Being such mighty overseers of sacrificial assembly,
    O Indra [and] Agni, give heat to the defensiveness!
    May all-consuming fears be without progeny!

6.  Through that, do really watch over 
    affording a wide view footprint²,
    O Indra [and] Agni, stretch out a shelter [for us]!
