1.  Hear the call, O Indra, do not fail! 
    Would we recieve thy beneficial [gifts]!
    Since these invigorating [libations,¹] make thee stronger,
    [they,] seeking what's beneficial, [are] like flowing rivers.

2.  Release, O Indra, mighty [waters] which thou caused to swell ---
    many [of them], surrounded by the snake, O agent of change!
    He, growing stronger with recited verses, 
    dispersed even the demon thought to be immortal.

3.  During recited verses with which he, O agent of change, was satisfied,
    and during agreeable to Rudra hymns of praise, O Indra,
    just for thee [are] these [libations] in which [thou are] exalting,
    as [just] for Vāyu the replenishing ones flow forth. 

4.  [The chants are] making stronger replenishing for thee fervor
    [they are] placing the enhancing thunderbolt into arms.
    Thou are reinforcing [us], O Indra! Becoming stronger,
    using the sun, thou can subdue for us demonic tribes.

5.  [Him, who is] established in the cavern, to be concealed, hidden in the waters
    who abides shrouded, him who has the power to frame perception,
    and who, moreover, is paralizing waters and the Heaven ---
    he slayed [him,] the snake, O agent of change, with the valor!

6.  So now I shall extol thy, O Indra, great ancient [deeds],
    and we shall extol the recent deeds.
    I shall extol him who is desiring the thunderbold in his arms,
    I shall extol two tawny banners of the sun.

7.  Thy, O Indra, two tawny ones, employing a rush of vigour,
    made oozing with ghee sound;
    all at once the Earth extended herself,
    the knotty one, about to race, set at rest.

8.  Let the knotty one be settled, [though] present² [in the mind];
    together with mothers, he, eagerly desiring, called out.
    Making the melody stronger at the farthest end,
    they have spread within animated by Indra bellowing (?).

9.  Indra lashed at constricting the mighty stream³,
    possessing the power to configure [one's cognition] Vṛtra;
    both the Earth and the Heaven trembled being afraid
    of bellowing bull, of his thunderbolt.

10. The thunderbolt of him, of the bull, roared again and again
    so that a human would burn down inhuman.
    Drinking extracted [Soma], he caused the powers to shape [mental and physiological processes] 
    of him who is bestowing and [thus] possesses the power to configure [one's cognition] to recede.

11. Just drink, drink Soma, O agent of change Indra!
    Let the extracted possessing exhilaration [drops] inflame thee!
    Those [drops] that nourish thy two cavities --- let them make thee stronger!
    Thus satiating extracted [Soma drops] have helped Indra.

12. We, inspired, have arisen in thee, O Indra,
    [so that] we, seeking with what is fitting, can place a vision within [thy] reach!
    Let us, [who are] seeking a favour, obtain competency,
    [so that] every day we could become equal to receive thy riches!

13. We can be those who [are] with thy, O Indra, side-effects;
    seeking favours, making invigorating [libations] stronger,
    let us be satisfied [only] with the most fiery one⁴;
    Thou grant us the gift rich in heroes.

14. Thou grant an abode, thou grant us amity,
    thou grant us, O Indra, a troop having Marut-s' trait.
    Vital airs which are acting in harmony and procuring joy
    absorb the first draught as a blueprint.

15. Just accept [ye] now [those] in which [he is] exalting!
    He shall be satiated. Drink Soma steadily, O Indra!
    In battles thou easily made us stronger, O carrying across one!
    Together with extensive hymns of illumination [thou made stronger] the Heaven.

16. Just the mighty ones which still can, by means of recited verses,
    procure thy, O carrying across one, benevolence,
    strewing providing a stall sacrificial grass,
    they approach --- only helped by thee, O Indra --- the rush of vigour.

17. Just in ferocious ones, O agent of change, [do thou,] procuring joy,
    drink Soma during ``three-howls'', O Indra!
    Blowing into beard⁵, gratifying,
    using two tawny ones, approach the drinking of extracted [Soma]!

18. Effect that impulse to change, O agent of change, with which thou pierced Vṛtra --- 
    the permissive descendant of the spider.
    Thou uncovered the light for that [abode] that is conducting upwards;
    on the left side [of the body] the impulse to suffer want subsided, O Indra!

19. May we, who with thy side-effects are overcoming all adversaries, 
    [and] with [the abode] that is conducting upwards [are overcoming] impulses to suffer want, obtain [that light]!
    [It was] for our sake that thou made the creative energy that can assume any form
    to submit to Trita of [this] fellowship.

20. [Creative energy] of this effusing possessing exhilaration [Soma] [become] Trita's.
    Becoming stronger, he overthrew Arbuda;
    he caused [it] to turn like the Sun its wheel.
    Accompanied by aṅgiras-es Indra shall pierce the enclosure.

21. Now, may thy, O Indra, bringing satisfaction liberality
    yield for the invoker to his heart's content [that energy]!
    Exert thyself for hymn singers' sake! May not [this] fortune pass us by
    so we, very manly, can address a knowledge-sharing session!

1.  Which deva, merely arisen, [being] the earliest [and] thoughtful,
    attended to deva-s with understanding,
    from whose fervor both Rodas-es trembled with fear ---
    he, through abundance of courage, O people, is Indra.

4.  By whom all these disturbances [are] made,
    who made the savage character [of one's self] tending downwards into a hidingplace
    who, like a gambler with a winning throw of dice¹, having surpassed the mark,
    took hold of acquisitions of him who tends upwards,² --- he, O people, is Indra.

5.  They inquire about him, frightful, ``Where [is] he?''
    And say about such him ``This one does not exist''.
    He curtails flourishing of him who tends upwards,³ as darting movements [do]. Do trust him --- he, O people, is Indra.

6.  Who is inciter of a meek [man], who of a feeble one,
    who of a learned priest, of asking-for-help praiser,
    who of him, who is joined by a singer, is helper.
    Selective⁴ of him who extracted Soma --- he, O people, is Indra.

7.  Under whose direction [are] horses, [under] whose [direction are] oxen,
    [under] whose [direction are] troops, [under] whose [direction are] all chariots,
    who begot the Sun and the Dawn,
    who is a guide of waters --- he, O people, is Indra.

8.  Whom two clashing battle-cries vie in calling ---
    [whom] those hostile [to each other vie in calling], superior and inferior ones on both sides --- 
    upon [whom] even two men who mounted the same chariot call separately --- he, O people, is Indra.

11. Who during fortieth autumn found
    residing in the mountains Śambara;

12. Who, having seven reins, appearing as a bull, having the power to control,
    sent off the seven rivers to flow,
    who, thunderbolt-in-arms, lashed at
    ascending the Heaven son of Rohiṇī --- he, O people, is Indra.

13. Even the Heaven and the Earth bend for this one
    knotty ones become afraid of just his fervor;
    who, thunderbolt-in-hands, is beheld as drinking Soma,
    who is holding thunderbolt in hand --- he, O people, is Indra.

14. Who favours [him who is] pressing [Soma], who [favours him who is] ripening [the inner heat]
    who [favours him who is] reciting [formulations], who [favours] [him who] with [his] help [is] exerting himself
    whose formulation is augmenting, whose Soma [is],

15. Who for him who is pressing [Soma] [and] ripening [inner heat] is like [something] provoking anger --- 
    such thou make a rush of vigour accessible⁵ [to us]! Thou are real!
    We, always dear to thee, O Indra,
    [we,] very manly, can address a knowledge-sharing session!

1.  Fixed order is the genitrix. From her the waters [flow].
    Arisen quickly, he¹ took possession of [those waters] in which he becomes stronger.
    Then, the to-be-beaten [herb] became a swelling [libation];
    the juice of the stalk [thus becomes] ambrosia first --- that [is] to be praised.

2.  They, spreading the juice, approach the same center;
    to nurture everything they shall be borne along to the source of pleasure;
    the same is the pathway of directed forwards [waters] to run along;
    who did these [things] firstly --- such thou are to be praised.

3.  One comments what he offers; at that time another,
    setting up forms, having that as [his] act, moves and moves;
    all diversions of [that] one he strives to bring to the fore.
    Who did these [things] firstly, such thou are to be praised.

4.  They² abide apportioning to offsprings,³ the fullness
    as a surpassing the base gift to him⁴ who is coming.
    Having no provisions [of his own] [but] with fangs he⁵ consumes father's meal.
    Who did these [things] firstly, such thou are to be praised.
------

5.  Now, thou have made the Earth to appear to the Heaven;
    Who removed [Vṛtra] from the path of the streams, O snake-slayer,
    him --- thee --- with hymns of praise as if with waves, [thee,] possessing the rush of vigour deva,
    deva-s begot; such thou are to be praised.

6.  Thou, who defends enjoyment and thriving,
    thou milked from a damp [stalk = aṃśu] mouth-drying rich in honey [juice⁶];
    Such thou have established in Vivasvat a receptacle of treasure,
    thou are the only master of everyone --- such thou are to be praised.

7.  Thou, who at distribution [of war spoils] made, per custom,
    [women] in menstruation and those bearing [children], to be separated as streams;
    who caused unequaled flashes from the Heaven,
    who, [being like] wide space, [effected] picks on both sides --- such thou are to be praised.

8.  Who, to strike down Nārmara together with [his] riches,
    for Pṛkṣa and for Dāsaveśa
    conveyed [some] of the invigorating [libation] to unsurrounded [by beard] face;
    and just so nowadays, O doing much, --- such thou are to be praised.

9.  Thou, who a hundred [times] bound at the same time ten [men]
    while [being] in confidence of one when thou favoured the whip. 
    In order to deceive, thou confined into what lacks ropes the impulses to suffer want;
    thou became very mindful --- such thou are to be praised.

10. After all, obstacles bestow this one's manly strength,
    for this one, for the effective one, they set the prize.
    Thou propped six expansions, five appearances;
    [being] extreme, thou became encompassing --- such thou are to be praised.

11. Thy valor, O valiant one, is renowned: 
    that through mere resourcefulness thou find the gem;
    the mental vigour of ever-resolute, of possessing overwhelming strength [thee],
    effected all [deeds] that such thou have accomplished --- thou are to be praised.

12. Thou made the flow of Sarapas to stop
    to give true passage to Turvīti and [his] companion;
    an outcast who is below [all] thou led upwards;
    instructing a blind cripple --- such thou are to be praised.
------

13. To give us, O beneficent one, that accomplishment of [our] desires,
    do make ready thy abundant advantageous [power]
    O Indra, that is manifold, so that day-after-day thou would be like an auditory impression,
    so we, very manly, can address a knowledge-sharing session!

1.  O adʰvaryu-s! Bring to Indra Soma!
    Using tankards, pour in the exhilarating herb!
    Since the valiant one is ever desirous of a draught of it,
    sacrifice to the bull. He commands just this.
------

2.  O adʰvaryu-s! Who has slayed, as if a tree with a flash of lightning,
    hindering waters [Vṛtra],
    to him bring this [Soma], to desiring it one;
    this here Indra deserves a draught of it.

3.  O adʰvaryu-s! Who has slayed Dṛbʰīka, 
    who drove upwards cows for he should have uncovered the cavern,
    for him [spread] this [Soma] like the wind in the air,
    Surround Indra with drops of Soma as old man [would surround himself] with clothes!

4.  O adʰvaryu-s! Who has slayed Uraṇa 
    who has dug up ninety nine feet [wide mote],
    who has forced down Arbuda ---
    him, Indra, urge on during Soma offering.

5.  O adʰvaryu-s! Who has easily slayed the voracious one,
    who [slayed] unabating Śuṣṇa, who [slayed] him who has no shoulder-blades,
    who [slayed] Pipru, Namuci, who [slayed] Rudʰikrā --- 
    to him, to Indra, sacrifice [a draught] of the herb!

6.  O adʰvaryu-s! Who a hundred --- many --- of Śambara's strongholds
    pierced [open] as if with a rock,
    who a hundred of Varcin's --- Indra --- 
    he dispersed a thousand [enemies], bring Soma for this one!

7.  O adʰvaryu-s! Who a hundred, up to a thousand, [of them] 
    having struck, mowed into the lap of the earth,
    [who] pulled down heroes of agitated Kutsa Atitʰigva ---
    bring Soma for this one!
------

8.  O adʰvaryu-s! What you, O men, long for,
    you, willingly transporting this into Indra, attain.
    Bring hand-pressed [Soma] to the famous one!
    O seeking to make an offering, sacrifice Soma to Indra!

9.  O adʰvaryu-s! Do willing service to this one ---
    guide upwards in the spine purified within, in the spine, [inner Soma]!
    Delighting [in that Soma], he desires your made-by-hand [Soma].
    Sacrifice brewing-exhilaration-Soma to Indra!

10. O adʰvaryu-s! Like cow's udder with milk
    fill liberal Indra with just Soma drops.
    I experienced this one; this for me is settled --- 
    him, who is becoming more and more wishing to give, he, who is worthy of worship, [always] notices.

11. O adʰvaryu-s! Who is the king of supernatural benefit,
    who of earthly, of to-be-perpetuated one,
    fill him --- like a granary with barley ---
    with Soma [fill] Indra --- let this be your sacrificial act.
------

12. To give us, O beneficial one, that accomplishment of [our] desires,
    do make ready thy abundant advantageous [power]
    O Indra, that is manifold, so that day-after-day thou would be like an auditory impression,
    so we, very manly, can address a knowledge-sharing session!

1.  Now then I shall at least mention deeds of this one ---
    great [deeds] of the exalting one, real [deeds] of the real one.
    During ``three-howls'' he drank the extracted [Soma];
    in it's intoxication Indra slayed the snake.
------

2.  He shall make the vast Heaven propped --- 
    up to both Rodas-es he filled the intermediate space;
    he shall cause the Earth to bear [him], and she shall spread [him];
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

3.  Like a dwelling from the front [modulates light and sound from outside], he, using conceptions, has modulated [flowing waters],
    using thunderbolt he split open the apertures of [inner] flowing waters
    [that] he at will released [to flow] along long-stretching pathways;
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

4.  He, going in turn to each one giving priority to deception,
    burned every weapon in lighted fire;
    along with cows, horses, chariots he released [them].
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

5.  He stopped tumultuous flooding [stream] from going,
    he made those who were not fond of bathing [in it] to successfully get over it;
    They, having emerged from the water, advanced towards the treasure.
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

6.  He, exalting, released turned upwards Sindʰu,
    with the thunderbolt he broke into pieces the cart of the Dawn
    hewing inactive ones,¹ together with the fleeting ones,².
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

7.  He, knowing the hiding place of the maidens,
    becoming manifest, stood above [all], [he,] the outcast ---
    a cripple stood firm, a blind did see.
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

8.  He, being extolled by aṅgiras-es, shall pierce the cavern,
    he emptied fortified strongholds of a knotty one,
    he dismantled their artificial dams.
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.

9.  Spraying Dʰuni [and] Cumuri with drowsiness
    thou slayed an impulse to suffer want --- thou favoured deception;
    even he who was carrying a stick has found some gold.
    Indra has performed these [deeds] in Soma's intoxication.
------

10. Now, may your, O Indra, bringing satisfaction liberality
    yield for the invoker to his heart's content [that energy]!
    Exert thyself for hymn singers' sake! May not [this] fortune pass us by
    so we, manly, could speak aloft at knowledge-sharing session.

1.  I bring forth your, present [now], correctly articulated praise
    to the oldest of all as an oblation into burning fire.
    We invoke Indra who is not subject to old age [but] causing to age,
    [who is] fully grown, [yet] since from of old [is] a youth, to help.

2.  Without which --- [without] vast Indra --- nothing whatsoever [is accomplished];
    in this one all aspects of valor are brought together ---
    he carries Soma in the belly, overwhelming strength, might in the body,
    thunderbolt in hand, resourcefulness in the head.
------

3.  Not by two tremling ones,¹ thy power over affections is to be contained,
    nor the chariot [is to be contained] with seas and mountains, O Indra!
    No one equals thy thunderbolt 
    when by means of swift ones thou fully descend upon vehicles,².

4.  Since all foster [their] skill for this one,
    for worthy of worship, daring one, to one who, appearing as a bull, is committed.
    [Being such] a bull do thou, a more knowledgeable one, sacrifice to thyself with [this] offering ---
    drink Soma with an appearance resembling a bull.
------

5.  The subtle body of the bull becomes pure; a wave of honey [is]
    for him for whom he³, who resembles bull, is food, to drink for him who resembles bull⁴.
    Two bulls, two adʰvaryu-s, resembling bulls [are] the stones;
    [using them] one extracts resembling bull Soma.

6.  Thy thunderbolt is a bull, and thy chariot [is a bull];
    two tawny ones are bulls, resembling bull are weapons,
    thou, O appearing as a bull, are the master of exhilaration from the bull;
    O Indra, become satisfied with resembling bull Soma.

7.  In an assembly [I bring] forth for thee eloquent [beautiful praise⁵] as a ship,
    courageous through a sacred formulation, I proceed during pressings [of Soma].
    Whether he becomes aware of this our speech [or not] ---
    we emit Indra as a fountain of benefits.

8.  Before distress [strikes], turn towards us
    like a milch-cow, swelled of grass, [turns] towards a calf.
    We willingly resort to thy effective mental gestures, O one of hundred wiles,
    like bulls to [their] wives.
------

9.  Now, may thy, O Indra, bringing satisfaction liberality
    yield for the invoker to his heart's content [that energy]!
    Exert thyself for hymn singers' sake! May not [this] fortune pass us by
    so we, manly, could speak aloft at knowledge-sharing session.

1.  Ye shall recite this new [formulation¹] in the manner of aṅgiras-es ---
    impulses of this one will arise as [they did] in old times
    when all cowsheds [were] veiled in overwhelming strength;
    in Soma's intoxication he brought to life fortified strongholds.
------

2.  Let he become [manifest] who indeed for the sake of the most excellent nourishing
    crossed over here, apportioning vigour to the power [for him] to increase-in-size;
    an agent of change, who wrapped himself up in clashes,
    he has, through the power to increase in size, assumed in the head a form of a [red?] glow.
------

3.  (Now, thou made the primary aspect of valor ample
    when ahead of it thou stirred up the fervor with a formulation.)
    Loosened by him who stands on a chariot, who has two tawny ones for horses,
    the quick waters flow forth converging [but] separately.

4.  Now, who, rendering one competent, in full mental vigour,
    extended majestically over all places of existence,
    and he who conveys,² spread the light over both Rodas-es;
    stitching mental obscurations, he wrapped up turbid ones.

5.  By means of a frenzy shall strengthen knotty ones that are turned towards [danger];
    he made the activity of waters to be tending downwards;
    he made the Earth to maintain nourishing of all [places of existence];
    he, through the power to frame [perception], supported the Heaven from falling off.
