1.22.18 Vishnu, guardian who cannot be deceived, strode out three steps,upholding the ordinances from that place.

1.22.19 See Vishnu's works, from which he looks upon the ordinances,Indra's companion and trusted friend.

1.22.20 Seers always see that highest step of Vishnu,like an eye extended through heaven.

1.22.21 Awake and singing, inspired poets kindlethat highest step of Vishnu.

Hymn 1.23 — Seer: Medhatithi Kanva. Deities: Vayu (1), Indra and Vayu (2–3), Mitra and Varuna (4–6), Indra with the Maruts (7–9), the All-Gods (10–12), Pushan (13–15), the Waters (16–22 and first half of 23), Agni (second half of 23–24). Meters: Gayatri (1–18), Ushnih (19), Pankti (21), Anushtubh (20, 22–24).

1.23.1 Come: these potent somas, mixed and pressed, are ready;Vayu, drink them as they are offered.

1.23.2 We call on both gods who touch heaven, Indra and Vayu,to drink this soma.

1.23.3 Inspired poets call for help on Indra and Vayu, swift as thought,thousand-eyed lords of insight.

1.23.4 We call Mitra and Varuna to drink soma,both born with pure discernment.

1.23.5 I call Mitra and Varuna, who grow through Truth by Truth,masters of the light of Truth.

1.23.6 May Varuna be our defender and Mitra aid us with every help;let them make us rich in blessings.

1.23.7 We call Indra accompanied by the Maruts to drink soma;let him enjoy it with their company.

1.23.8 Hosts of Maruts with Indra at their head, gods generous as Pushan,all of you, hear my call.

1.23.9 Generous ones, strike down Vritra with Indra as your strong ally;let no evildoer rule over us.

1.23.10 We call all the gods, the Maruts, to drink soma;fierce ones are the sons of Prishni.

1.23.11 Their thunder comes boldly, as if to win a battle,when you, heroes, go forth in splendor.

1.23.12 Born from laughter amid lightning, may they guard us;let the Maruts be gracious to us.

1.23.13 Come, radiant Pushan, to Chitrabarhis, support of heaven;bring back the lost, as a stray beast is brought home.

1.23.14 Radiant Pushan found King Chitrabarhis,hidden away in a secret place.

1.23.15 For me he drove along the six yoked ones with soma drops;with cows he plowed the barley field.

1.23.16 The mother waters go their ways, sisters of those who perform the rite,mingling milk with honey.

1.23.17 Those that are near the sun, and those with whom the sun travels:may these waters speed our rite.

1.23.18 I call the divine waters where our cattle drink;let an oblation be made to the streams.

1.23.19 Within the waters lies immortality, within the waters healing;for the waters' praise, be swift, O gods.

1.23.20 Soma told me: “In the waters are all healing powers,and Agni who blesses all, and the waters that heal all.”

1.23.21 Waters, fill us with healing, a shelter for my body,that I may see the sun for many years.

1.23.22 Carry away, waters, whatever evil is in me,whatever wrong I have done, whatever curse I have spoken, whatever lie.

1.23.23 Today I entered the waters; we have mingled with their essence.Come, Agni, rich in nourishment, and join me to splendor.

1.23.24 Join me to splendor, Agni, to children and length of life;let the gods know this of me, let Indra know it with the seers.

Hymn 1.24 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Prajapati (1), Agni (2), Savitar (3–5), Bhaga (also 5), Varuna (6–15). Meters: Trishtubh (1–2, 6–15), Gayatri (3–5).

1.24.1 Whose lovely name shall we invoke now, which of the immortal gods?Who will return us to vast freedom, so that I may see my father and my mother?

1.24.2 We shall invoke the lovely name of Agni, first among immortals;may he return us to vast freedom, so that I may see my father and my mother.

1.24.3 We seek a share from you, divine Savitar,lord of all desirable things, eternal giver.

1.24.4 For even that share of yours he held in his hands,free from malice, long before any reproach.

1.24.5 May we rise to receive our allotted share through your help;I reach for the summit of riches.

1.24.6 Neither birds flying through the air attain your sovereignty, your strength, your wrath;nor restless flowing waters, nor winds can diminish your fury.

1.24.7 King Varuna, pure in wisdom, holds the treetop upright in a rootless space;its branches hang downward, its roots are above—may its rays settle within us.

1.24.8 King Varuna made a broad path for the sun to follow;he made footfalls where no path was, and turns aside even what pierces the heart.

1.24.9 A hundred healers are yours, king, a thousand; may your gracious thought be wide and deep;banish ruin far away; release us even from the sin we have committed.

1.24.10 Those stars set high, visible by night—where have they gone by day?Varuna's ordinances do not fail; the moon, surveying all, goes on by night.

1.24.11 I approach you with prayer in reverence; the sacrificer asks this with oblations:Varuna, do not scorn us; hear us here, gracious one, and do not steal away our life.

1.24.12 This is told me by night and by day; this insight speaks to me from the heart:let King Varuna release us, whom the bound Shunahshepa called upon.

1.24.13 Shunahshepa, bound to three posts, called upon you, Aditya;let King Varuna, wise and inviolate, loosen his bonds and set him free.

1.24.14 With reverence we beg you to put away your wrath, Varuna, with sacrifices and oblations;knowing lord and king who reigns among us, loosen the sins we have committed.

1.24.15 Varuna, loosen the upper bond from us, the lower, and undo the middle;then, Aditya, under your ordinance may we live without sin in freedom.

Hymn 1.25 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Gayatri.

1.25.1 Although, divine Varuna, we violate your ordinanceday after day, like the common people,

1.25.2 Do not hand us over to death or the slayerin your indignation, or to your anger when provoked.

1.25.3 With songs we bind your mind toward mercy, Varuna,as a driver binds his horse.

1.25.4 My angry thoughts fly away in pursuit of wealth,like birds returning to their nests.

1.25.5 When shall we draw near to kingly Varuna, splendid in dominion,wide-seeing, to receive his mercy?

1.25.6 The two eager ones attain this alike and do not neglectthe generous upholder of ordinances.

1.25.7 He knows the paths of birds flying through the sky;he knows the ships that cross the sea.

1.25.8 He who holds the ordinances knows the twelve months and their offspring;he knows the one born after them.

1.25.9 He knows the course of the wind, vast, lofty, and strong;he knows those who sit above it.

1.25.10 Varuna, keeper of ordinances, took his seat in the dwellings,wise in power, to reign supreme.

1.25.11 From there he looks upon every wondrous thing with understanding:what has been done and what remains to do.

1.25.12 May that wise Aditya make us a good path every day,and carry our lives forward.

1.25.13 Varuna wears a golden cloak, a shining garment;his watchers have taken their seats around him.

1.25.14 The god is beyond the reach of those who seek to deceive,of human traitors and their designs.

1.25.15 He too has established unequaled glory among mortals,even in the depths within us.

1.25.16 My thoughts go far abroad, like cows to their pastures,seeking the wide-seeing one.

1.25.17 Let us speak together again, since honey has been brought me;like an invoker, you eat what you love.

1.25.18 I have seen the one whom all can see, seen his chariot upon the earth;welcome these songs of mine.

1.25.19 Hear this call of mine, Varuna, and show mercy today;I call to you in need of help.

1.25.20 Wise one, you rule over all, heaven and earth;hear me when I set forth.

1.25.21 Release our upper bond; undo the middle cord;loosen the lower bonds so that we may live.

Hymn 1.26 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

1.26.1 Put on your garments, lord of nourishment, worthy of sacrifice;perform this rite of ours.

1.26.2 Sit down as our chosen invoker always, youngest one, among our prayers;Agni, bring heavenly speech.

1.26.3 For a father offers sacrifice for his son and a friend for his friend;a chosen companion offers for a companion.

1.26.4 Let Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman, destroyers of harm,sit on our ritual grass, as they did for Manu.

1.26.5 Ancient invoker, rejoice in this offering and in our friendship;listen well to these songs.

1.26.6 Whenever, through all generations, we sacrifice to god after god,it is into you that the oblation is poured.

1.26.7 Let our beloved lord of the people be a joyous, chosen invoker;may we be dear to Agni.

1.26.8 For the gods have set desirable wealth before us who love Agni;we who love Agni give them thought.

1.26.9 Immortal one, let our praises meet both kinds of beings,mortals and immortals alike.

1.26.10 Agni, with every fire, take delight in this sacrifice and this word,child of strength.

Hymn 1.27 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Agni (1–12), the gods (13). Meters: Gayatri (1–12), Trishtubh (13).

1.27.1 I honor you, Agni, like a horse with its flowing mane,reigning over sacrifices, with reverent praise.

1.27.2 May he be a son to us, strong, ranging far, gracious,bountiful to our people.

1.27.3 From far and near, from every mortal intent on harm,guard us always, guardian of all life.

1.27.4 Declare this newest Gayatri hymn of ours,Agni, among the gods.

1.27.5 Give us a share in the highest prizes and in the middle;be generous with the nearest treasure.

1.27.6 You are the divider, radiant one, and like a river's wave close by,you pour out for the giver at once.

1.27.7 The mortal you protect in battles, Agni, whom you rouse in contests,gains everlasting nourishment.

1.27.8 No enemy overtakes his strength, nor any who encircles him;his prize is worthy of renown.

1.27.9 Let him who watches all humanity win the prize with conquering horses;let him win with inspired poets.

1.27.10 You who wake at old age, discern the visible praisefor Rudra, worthy of sacrifice in every house.

1.27.11 May the great, boundless one, with smoke as his banner, rich in delights,urge us toward inspiration and the prize.

1.27.12 Let Agni, rich as the lord of the people, a godly light of broad brilliance,hear us through our hymns.

1.27.13 Honor to the great, honor to the small; honor to the young, honor to the aged.Let us worship the gods if we can; gods, let me not cut off the elder's praise.

Hymn 1.28 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Indra (1–4), the mortar (5–6), mortar and pestle (7–8), Prajapati Harishchandra, the pressing hide, or Soma (9). Meters: Anushtubh (1–5), Gayatri (7–9).

1.28.1 Where the pressing stone stands upright on its broad base to press,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.2 Where the two pressing boards have been set like a pair of buttocks,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.3 Where the woman learns to move the pestle up and down,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.4 Where they bind the churn's cords like reins to steer a horse,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.5 Though you are yoked in every house, little mortar,speak here most resplendently, like a war drum sounding victory.

1.28.6 And wind blows over your summit, forest-born one;so press soma for Indra to drink, mortar.

1.28.7 The two sacrifice-makers, greatest winners of prizes, rise high;like bay horses, they devour the plants.

1.28.8 These two tall wooden ones, with the tall pressers,have pressed the honeyed juice for Indra today.

1.28.9 Carry the remainder into the two vessels; release the soma through the strainer;lay it upon the cowhide.

Hymn 1.29 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Pankti.

1.29.1 Even if we seem without a blessing, true drinker of soma,come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.2 Bright-cheeked lord of prizes, powerful are your wonders;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.3 Put the treacherous spies to sleep; let them lie unawakened;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.4 Let grudging enemies sleep, and gifts awaken, hero;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.5 Crush together, Indra, the donkey braying with evil intent;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.6 Let the wind from the forest carry that shrill screech far away;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.7 Strike down every clamor, and crush the horse-throated one;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

Hymn 1.30 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Indra (1–16), the Ashvins (17–19), Ushas (20–22). Meters: Gayatri (1–10, 12–15, 17–22), variant Gayatri (11), Trishtubh (16).

1.30.1 Pour the drops for Indra, hundred-powered, most generous,as men striving for prizes bring them to Krivi.

1.30.2 A hundred pure draughts, or a thousand mixed with milk,flow to him as waters descend into a hollow.

1.30.3 For the strong one's delight, the draughts gathered in his belly,and he contained their breadth like the sea.

1.30.4 This song rests in you like a dove in its nest;even that word of ours you carry.

1.30.5 Let praise be yours, lord of gifts, hero borne by songs;let your wealth be rich in gracious speech.

1.30.6 Stand upright for our aid in this contest, hundred-powered one;let us speak together among the others.

1.30.7 At every harnessing of effort, in every contest,we friends call the mighty Indra to aid us.

1.30.8 If he hears, he will surely come to our callwith a thousand protections and prizes.

1.30.9 From the ancient dwelling I call the man of great understanding,whom your father invoked before you.

1.30.10 We ask you for every choice gift, much-invoked one,friend and benefactor of singers.

1.30.11 You, drinker of soma, are the friend of us bright-faced women,pressers of soma; friend, wielder of the mace, of friends.

1.30.12 Let it be so, soma-drinker, friend and wielder of the mace;do as we desire for sustenance.

1.30.13 May we feast together with Indra on rich provisions,abundant in prizes, noisy with the joy they bring.

1.30.14 Come to your praisers, fearless one who has found yourself;open the way as an axle turns between two wheels.

1.30.15 When you brought the singers' wish to pass, hundred-powered one,you opened the way with your powers as an axle does.

1.30.16 Indra has always won wealth with snorting, neighing, panting steeds;may that wondrous giver grant us a golden chariot and wealth to win.

1.30.17 Ashvins, come in your horse-drawn chariot, full of heroic strength,bringing cattle and gold, wonder-workers.

1.30.18 Your chariot, wonder-workers, is yoked alike on both sides, immortal;Ashvins, it journeys over the sea.

1.30.19 You set one wheel of your chariot upon the head of the uninjurable one;the other circles through heaven.

1.30.20 What mortal, beloved at all times, immortal Ushas, is yours to enjoy?Whom do you visit, radiant one?

1.30.21 We have set our thoughts on you from near and far,on you like a splendid ruddy horse.

1.30.22 Come with these prizes, daughter of heaven;set wealth among us.

Hymn 1.31 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Agni. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (8–16, 18).

1.31.1 You, Agni, were the first seer Angiras, a god and gracious friend of gods;under your ordinance arose the wise, skilled Maruts with glittering spears.

1.31.2 You, Agni, first and greatest Angiras, wise one, encompass the gods' ordinance;all-pervading sage of all worlds, two-mothered, you have lain in many forms for man.

1.31.3 Agni, as the first Matarishvan, appear in wise power to Vivasvat;heaven and earth trembled at the choice of invoker; unharmed you bore the burden and sacrificed, great giver.

1.31.4 Agni, you made heaven sound for Manu and, doer of good, for the worthy Pururavas;when swiftly freed from your parents, those before brought you forth, and later ones again.

1.31.5 Agni, you are the bull increasing plenty, famous when the ladle is raised;you who know the offering and cry of “vashat” serve the people at the front with one life.

1.31.6 Agni, at the gathering you carry a man along his crooked path, discerning, among the clans;in contests for brave prizes, with the few allied to you, you strike down the many.

1.31.7 You place that mortal in highest immortality for glory day by day, Agni;for him who thirsts for both births you make delight, and bring nourishment to the seer.

1.31.8 Agni, praised by us, make our singer famous for the winning of wealth;may we prosper through fresh skill in deeds; with the gods, Heaven and Earth, help us.

1.31.9 In the lap of your two parents, Agni, you wake as a blameless god among gods;make yourself known as maker of bodies, mindful of the singer; gracious one, you possess all wealth.

1.31.10 Agni, you are our guardian and our father; you grant us life, and we are your kin;wealth by hundreds and thousands comes to you, rich in heroes, guardian of ordinance, undeceived.

1.31.11 The gods made you the first life for man, Agni, lord of Nahusha's people;they made Ila the guide of humankind, when a son is born to his own father.

1.31.12 Agni, with your divine defenses guard our generous patrons and our bodies, worthy one;protect our children and descendants and cattle, watching sleeplessly over your ordinance.

1.31.13 Agni, as a guardian within you are kindled for the worshiper, four-eyed, never faltering;the giver of offerings feeds the harmless man; you welcome even the poor man's prayer.

1.31.14 Agni, whatever highest treasure you grant the singer whose praise reaches far,you are called a guardian and father even to the poor; you instruct the simple and guide the wise.

1.31.15 Agni, you encircle and protect the man whose gift is ready, like armor sewn all around;he offers a living sacrifice, eats sweet food, and makes his dwelling pleasant beneath heaven.

1.31.16 Agni, consider this refuge of ours, this road on which we have traveled from afar;you are companion, father, and guide to those who press soma, swift mover and maker of seers among mortals.

1.31.17 As for Manu and Angiras, as for Yayati in the old dwelling, bright Angiras,come and bring the divine people; seat them upon the ritual grass and offer what is dear.

1.31.18 Grow through this prayer, Agni, through whatever we have done with strength and knowledge;lead us toward greater wealth and join us to gracious thought rich in prizes.

Hymn 1.32 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.32.1 Now I shall proclaim Indra's heroic deeds, the first performed by the mace-bearer:he killed the serpent, released the waters, split open the mountain's channels.

1.32.2 He killed the serpent hiding in the mountain; Tvashtar fashioned for him the sounding mace;like lowing cows rushing onward, the waters went straight down to the sea.

1.32.3 Eager as a bull, he chose the soma, drank the pressed drink at the three vessels;the generous one took up his weapon, the mace, and killed the firstborn of serpents.

1.32.4 When you, Indra, killed the firstborn serpent, you shattered the spells of sorcerers;then, birthing the sun and heaven and dawn, you found no enemy left before you.

1.32.5 Indra struck Vritra, mightiest of obstructors, the shoulderless one, with his great killing mace;like tree trunks chopped with an ax, the serpent lay stretched across the earth.

1.32.6 Like a drunk who cannot fight, he challenged the great hero, forceful victor;he could not withstand the clash of his weapons; shattered lay Indra's enemy.

1.32.7 Without hands or feet he fought Indra; the mace struck him on his back;like a gelding imitating a bull, Vritra lay scattered in many places.

1.32.8 Over him lying there the waters rose and surged, as over a broken riverbank;the waters Vritra had held in his might found the serpent lying beneath their feet.

1.32.9 Vritra's mother fell prostrate when Indra flung down his weapon against her;the son lay beneath, his mother above: Danu lay like a cow beside her calf.

1.32.10 Among restless, unfettered streams lay his body;the waters wandered through Vritra's hidden place; Indra's enemy lay in lasting darkness.

1.32.11 The waters stood captive, with the Dasa as master and the serpent as herdsman, like cattle held by the Panis;when the entrance to the waters was shut, he killed Vritra and opened it.

1.32.12 You became a horse's tail, Indra, when the lone god struck back with his blade;you won the cattle, hero, won the soma and set the seven rivers running.

1.32.13 Neither lightning nor thunder hindered him, nor rain he poured nor hail;when Indra and the serpent fought, the generous one prevailed for all time to come.

1.32.14 What avenger of the serpent did you see, Indra, when fear entered your heart after the killing?Why did you cross the ninety-nine flowing rivers and the expanses like a frightened hawk?

1.32.15 Indra, whose arm bears the mace, rules moving and resting things, tame and horned beasts;he rules the peoples, encircling them as the rim surrounds the spokes.

Hymn 1.33 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.33.1 Let us come to Indra in search of cattle; may our wise guardian gain strength;undiminished, perhaps he will turn the highest sign of cattle wealth toward us.

1.33.2 I fly to the unresisted giver of wealth like a hawk to its beloved nest;I bow to Indra with songs, whom singers call upon as they go forth.

1.33.3 With his whole army he fastened the quivers, drove away the rivals' cows at will;Indra, bring forth abundant beauty; let no Pani grow rich at our expense.

1.33.4 You alone struck the wealthy Dasyu with your weapon, Indra, as you went with your helpers;scattered from the bow, the ancient non-sacrificers went their separate ways to death.

1.33.5 Their heads turned away from you, Indra, those non-sacrificers contending with worshipers;when you, fierce driver of bays, stood firm from heaven, you cast the lawless down between the worlds.

1.33.6 They did not dare fight the army of the blameless one; the peoples of the ninefold singers advanced;cast out like horned bulls deprived of strength, they came to recognize Indra through his voices.

1.33.7 Indra, you fought them weeping and laughing beyond the wide heavens;you burned the Dasyu down from heaven and helped the presser's song of praise.

1.33.8 They made a ring about the earth, adorned with gold and jewels;though striving, they could not overcome you, Indra; you set watchers beside the sun.

1.33.9 When you, Indra, embraced both heaven and earth in greatness on all sides,with the discerning you drove down the heedless Dasyu, those without prayers.

1.33.10 They reached neither the end of heaven nor of earth, nor with spells surrounded the giver of treasure;Indra the bull harnessed his mace and milked the cattle out of darkness with light.

1.33.11 The waters flowed according to his own law; he grew amid the navigable streams;Indra struck him in broad daylight with the strongest blow and undivided mind.

1.33.12 Indra pierced the strongholds of Ilibisha, split the horned Shushna apart;generous one, with all your surpassing strength you killed the warring foe with your mace.

1.33.13 A scorching force went against his enemies; with his sharp bull he split their fortresses;Indra let loose the mace on Vritra, seeking to advance his own design.

1.33.14 Indra, you guarded Kutsa, whom you loved, and aided the battling bull Dashadyu;dust shaken from hooves reached heaven, and Shvaitreya stood up to conquer men.

1.33.15 You guarded the bull Shama amid the Tugryas, generous one, and the white cow in the field;those who stood long against us sank low, stripped of knowledge.

Hymn 1.34 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deities: the Ashvins. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (9–12).

1.34.1 Come to us three times today, Ashvins, with new gifts; wide is your journey and your bounty;your guidance wraps us like a winter coat; come near to our wise thoughts.

1.34.2 Three wheels are on your honey-bearing chariot, as all know who long for soma;three are its posts raised to hold it; three times by night and three by day you journey, Ashvins.

1.34.3 Three times in one day destroy what harms the cattle; three times bathe our sacrifice in honey today;three times, Ashvins, pour prize-bearing food over us at dusk and dawn.

1.34.4 Come three times to our home and three times to one devoted to you; give threefold to the man under your care;three times bring happiness, Ashvins, three times pour out abundance for us as from a perennial spring.

1.34.5 Bring us riches three times, Ashvins; three times protect our thoughts among the gods;bring us fortune and renown three times; three times the daughter of the sun mounted your chariot.

1.34.6 Ashvins, give us heavenly medicines three times, earthly medicines three times, and three times those from waters;bring triple shelter, lords of beauty, to my son for his peace and well-being.

1.34.7 Three times daily, Ashvins, come for us to sacrifice; you have traveled over the threefold earth;Nasatyas, journey through the three far places of your chariot, like wind through its dwelling places.

1.34.8 Three times, Ashvins, with the seven mother rivers; three are the offering vessels and threefold the oblation;three earths are beneath and heaven above: keep watch over the vault set for bright days and nights.

1.34.9 Where are the chariot's three wheels, its triple form; where the three seats together?When will the donkey's swift team be harnessed to carry you to the sacrifice, Nasatyas?

1.34.10 Come, Nasatyas, the oblation calls; drink the honey with honey-drinking mouths;Savitar sends your bright chariot, rich in ghee, before the dawn to the sacred order.

1.34.11 Come, Nasatyas, with thirty-three gods to drink honey here, Ashvins;prolong our lives, wipe away our sins, banish hatred, and stay beside us.

1.34.12 Bring brave wealth toward us in your threefold chariot, Ashvins;hear my repeated call for aid, and help us grow in winning the prize.

Hymn 1.35 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deities: Agni, Mitra and Varuna, Night, Savitar (1); Savitar (2–11). Meters: Trishtubh, Jagati (1, 9).

1.35.1 I call first on Agni for well-being; I call Mitra and Varuna here for aid;I call Night, who brings the world to rest; I call divine Savitar for help.

1.35.2 Moving through the dark expanse, settling both immortal and mortal,divine Savitar journeys in his golden chariot, watching the worlds.

1.35.3 The god journeys downhill, uphill, borne by his two shining bay horses, worthy of sacrifice;from afar comes divine Savitar, driving away every evil.

1.35.4 Savitar of splendid radiance has mounted his great chariot, clothed in every form, with golden pin;he takes on might as he crosses the dark expanses.

1.35.5 His dark, white-footed horses, carrying the golden chariot pole, gaze upon the peoples;all worlds and peoples forever dwell in the lap of divine Savitar.

1.35.6 Three heavens belong to Savitar, two in his lap; one rules within Yama's world;immortals stand on him as on a chariot's axle: let one who knows tell of it here.

1.35.7 The fair-winged one surveys the spaces, deep-stirring god of good guidance;where is the sun now? Who knows what heaven its ray has reached?

1.35.8 He looked over earth's eight regions, three desert stretches, seven rivers;golden-eyed divine Savitar has come, bearing choice treasures for the giver.

1.35.9 Golden-handed Savitar, watching humanity, moves between both heaven and earth;he drives off disease, follows the sun, and covers the sky with dark expanse.

1.35.10 Let the golden-handed lord come toward us, well-guiding and gracious, rich in his own light;driving away evil spirits, the god stands praised at every dusk.

1.35.11 By your ancient paths, Savitar, free of dust and well-made in the air,protect us today on those easy roads, and speak on our behalf, O god.

Hymn 1.36 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Agni (or the sacrificial post in verses 13–14). Meters: alternating Brihati and Satobrihati, variant Brihati (13).

1.36.1 With beautiful songs we seek Agni, great one of the many god-seeking peoples;we seek him with words of praise, whom others too honor.

1.36.2 People have installed Agni, who increases strength; bearing oblations, we worship you;be our kindly protector today in contests, present one.

1.36.3 We choose you as our messenger, the all-knowing invoker;your great flames wander abroad and your beams touch heaven.

1.36.4 The gods Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman kindle you as their ancient messenger;the mortal who gives to you wins every treasure through you, Agni.

1.36.5 You are the joyful invoker, lord of the house, Agni, messenger of peoples;within you all the lasting ordinances made by gods converge.

1.36.6 In you, fortunate young Agni, every offering is poured;be kindly to us today and hereafter, sacrifice to the gods for brave strength.

1.36.7 Reverent ones sit beside this sovereign;the people kindle Agni with their invocations, crossing beyond deceit.

1.36.8 Killing Vritra, they crossed the worlds and waters, making a broad dwelling;let the radiant bull be invoked among the Kanvas, his horse neighing in the quest for cattle.

1.36.9 Sit down together, great one; blaze, god most loved by gods;release your ruddy smoke, Agni worthy of sacrifice, glorious and splendid to behold.

1.36.10 You whom the gods established here for Manu, best sacrificer and bearer of oblations;whom Kanva Medhyatithi, wealth-seeking, and the praising bull invoked:

1.36.11 That Agni whom Medhyatithi Kanva kindled from Truth,his commands flashed; with these verses we strengthen that Agni.

1.36.12 Fill us with riches, self-sustained one; you have kinship with the gods, Agni;you reign over the renowned prize; be gracious to us, for you are great.

1.36.13 Stand high for our help, like the god Savitar;upright, winner of the prize, when we call you with decorated singers.

1.36.14 From on high guard us from distress; with your light burn down every devourer;set us upright to move and live; make our service known among the gods.

1.36.15 Guard us from harmful spirits, Agni, from the guile of the ungenerous;guard us from those who hurt or seek to kill us, bright and youthful one.

1.36.16 Like a bludgeon, strike the ungenerous in every direction, burning-jawed foe of our foes;let no mortal who hones his weapon against us by night become our master.

1.36.17 Agni won brave strength, Agni brought fortune to Kanva;Agni guarded Medhyatithi as a friend and the one praised in battle.

1.36.18 With Agni we call fierce Turvasha and Yadu from afar;Agni led Navavastva, Brihadratha, and Turviti to mastery over the Dasyu.

1.36.19 Manu set you down, Agni, as a light for all generations;you shone for Kanva, born of Truth, strengthened, whom the peoples honor.

1.36.20 Agni's flames blaze with strength, fearsome to resist;burn away harmful spirits and sorcerers always, every devourer.

Hymn 1.37 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.37.1 Kanvas, sing forth to the playful Marut host,unbridled, splendid in its chariots.

1.37.2 They were born with spotted steeds, spears,axes and ornaments, shining by their own light.

1.37.3 Even here I hear their whips speak in their handsas they array themselves for a brilliant journey.

1.37.4 Sing your god-given prayer to this bold host,strong, radiant in glory.

1.37.5 Praise the uninjurable cow among the cattle when the Marut host plays;it has grown strong in the taste of their jaws.

1.37.6 Who is the greatest among you, heroes, who shake heaven and earthwhen you toss them like a border cloth?

1.37.7 For your fierce journey and wrath, mortal man crouches;the mountain and hill recoil.

1.37.8 At whose movement the earth, like an aged lord of the house,shakes in fear along their paths.

1.37.9 Firm is their clan, sprung from their mother,when strength comes upon them in twofold measure.

1.37.10 Those sons of the mountain stretched upward toward the heights,setting out on their courses with a roar like cattle.

1.37.11 Even the long and broad cloud, son of the rain, unyielding,they drive forward on their journeys.

1.37.12 Maruts, by your power you have shaken the peoples;you have shaken the mountains.

1.37.13 When the Maruts go they speak together on the road;someone hears them.

1.37.14 Go swiftly with your rapid teams; you have service among the Kanvas;there take your delight.

1.37.15 There is joy for you indeed; we are among your peoplethat we may live a whole lifetime.

Hymn 1.38 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.38.1 When now, you lovers of the rite, will you hold us like a father holds a sonin his two hands, where the ritual grass is laid?

1.38.2 Where now will your journey take you, in heaven or on earth?Where do your cows rejoice?

1.38.3 Where are your new favors, Maruts, where your blessings,where all your fortunes?

1.38.4 If you, sons of Prishni, were mortal,your singer would become immortal.

1.38.5 Let your singer not be unwelcome like a beast among the grass,nor tread the path of Yama.

1.38.6 Let far-ranging ruin, so hard to overcome, not strike us down;let it perish of thirst.

1.38.7 Truly the fierce and mighty sons of Rudramake rain fall even in a windless desert.

1.38.8 Lightning bellows like a cow and follows like a mother her calfwhen their rain is loosed.

1.38.9 They make darkness even by day, with the cloud carrying water,when they drench the earth.

1.38.10 At the sound of the Maruts the whole earthly dwellingand the peoples trembled.

1.38.11 Maruts, with strong hands, journey through splendid, cloud-filled skieson unfailing paths.

1.38.12 Firm be your wheel rims, your chariots and horses;well fitted be their reins.

1.38.13 Speak aloud now in song of praise to Brihaspati,and to Agni, lovely to behold as a friend.

1.38.14 Shape praise in your mouth, spreading like Parjanya;sing a hymn worthy of Gayatri.

1.38.15 Honor the Marut host, bright, praiseworthy singers;may they grow great here for us.

Hymn 1.39 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Brihaspati. Meters: alternating Brihati and Satobrihati.

1.39.1 When you fling your power forth like flame from afar,by whose will, Maruts, whose beauty, toward whom do you travel, shaking all?

1.39.2 Let your weapons be steady for driving away and strong to withstand;let your praiseworthy power be yours, not the mortal trickster's.

1.39.3 When you heroes throw down what is firm and overturn what is heavy,you scatter the forests of earth and the mountain thickets.

1.39.4 No foe is found to match you in heaven or earth, destroyers of harm;let your strength serve you ever, sons of Rudra, even now unassailable.

1.39.5 They shake the mountains and split the trees;ride forth, Maruts, like gods drunk with fierce joy, with all your company.

1.39.6 You harness your spotted mares to the chariots; a red horse bears the trace;even earth has heard your passage; mortals have been afraid.

1.39.7 Rudras, we choose your swift aid for our children;come now to us with help as you came before to fearful Kanva.

1.39.8 Whether driven by you, Maruts, or driven by men, whoever seeks to harm us,scatter him with your strength, with your might and your protections.

1.39.9 Wise, worshipful ones, grant Kanva aid in full;come to us, Maruts, with unbroken help, like clouds of rain with lightning.

1.39.10 You bear undiminished might, generous shakers, undiminished force;Maruts, shoot hatred like an arrow at the hater of seers.

Hymn 1.40 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Brihaspati. Meters: alternating Brihati and Satobrihati.

1.40.1 Rise, Brihaspati; we who seek the divine call for you;come near, generous Maruts; Indra, hurry here beside us.

1.40.2 For a mortal speaks to you, son of strength, when wealth is at stake;let the one who calls you, Maruts, gain fine heroes and fine horses.

1.40.3 Let Brihaspati advance and divine truthful speech advance;let the gods lead our sacrifice to a manly hero rich in fivefold gifts.

1.40.4 He who gives a beautiful treasure to the singer wins undying fame;for him we sacrifice to Ila, rich in brave sons, invincible and easily invoked.

1.40.5 Now Brihaspati utters a prayer worthy of praise,where Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, and the gods have made their homes.

1.40.6 Let us utter that blessed and unfailing prayer in assemblies, gods;welcome this word, heroes, and all your blessings will come to you.

1.40.7 Who can reach a god-seeking people? Who can reach those who spread the grass?The giver has stepped forward with his household and founded a lasting home within.

1.40.8 He comes near to royal power; through kings he strikes, and builds a safe dwelling even in danger;none can turn back or outstrip the mace-bearer in great contests or small.

Hymn 1.41 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman; the Adityas (4–6). Meter: Gayatri.

1.41.1 The person guarded by wise Varuna, Mitra, and Aryamancan never be deceived.

1.41.2 They sustain a mortal as if in their arms and guard him from harm;uninjured, he prospers in all things.

1.41.3 These kings break through hardship and hostile forts,leading us beyond distress.

1.41.4 Smooth and without stones is the path, Adityas, for one who follows Truth;no pit lies along your road.

1.41.5 The sacrifice you guide along a straight path, Adityas,comes to you for inspiration.

1.41.6 That mortal approaches treasures, every wealth and offspring,whole and unopposed.

1.41.7 How shall we bring to fulfillment, friends, a song to Mitra and Aryaman,to the vast dominion of Varuna?

1.41.8 Let me not answer someone who strikes or curses you, gods;I seek you only with acts of kindness.

1.41.9 One should fear even a man who gives in all four directions, if he hoards in secret;one should not desire his harsh speech.

Hymn 1.42 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri.

1.42.1 Pushan, child of release, take us over the roads, beyond distress;go before us, O god.

1.42.2 The evil wolf who marks us out, Pushan, the malicious one:drive him away from our road.

1.42.3 Drive the highway robber, the thieving deceiver,far away from the path.

1.42.4 Trample underfoot the burning furyof every double-speaking evildoer.

1.42.5 Wonder-worker Pushan, we seek the aid from youwith which you urged our ancestors onward.

1.42.6 Possessor of all good fortune, bearer of the golden ax,make us skillful in winning wealth.

1.42.7 Guide us past those who beset us; make our way easy and our paths good;Pushan, know your task here.

1.42.8 Lead us to good pasture without fresh fever along the road;Pushan, know your task here.

1.42.9 Give us power, fulfill us, urge us forward, fill our bellies;Pushan, know your task here.

1.43.2 May Aditi bring Rudra's favor to our beasts,to men and cattle, and to our children.

1.43.3 May Mitra and Varuna know us,may Rudra and all the gods together know us.

1.43.4 Rudra, lord of song and wisdom, with soothing medicine:we seek his favor for peace and well-being.

1.43.5 He gleams like the radiant sun and glitters like gold,best treasure among the gods.

1.43.6 May he bring peace to our horse and ease for ram and ewe,for men and women and cattle.

1.43.7 Soma, establish among us the glory of a hundred men,great renown and mighty manhood.

1.43.8 Soma, let no obstructors or grudging foes lead us astray;share out the prize to us, drop of soma.

1.43.9 Your children in the farthest realm of immortality and Truth,Soma, adorning the summit and center, know your desire.

1.44.1 Immortal Agni, bring the shining bounty of radiant Dawn to the giver;today, Jatavedas, bring the gods who wake at dawn.

1.44.2 Agni, you are the beloved messenger, bearer of oblations and charioteer of rites;with the Ashvins and Ushas, place great renown and brave strength among us.

1.44.3 Today we choose Agni as messenger, a treasure loved by many,smoke-bannered, light-path blazing at the break of day, glory of the sacrifices.

1.44.4 I praise Agni at daybreak, finest and youngest guest, well offered to, beloved by the giver,Jatavedas, ready to go to the gods.

1.44.5 I shall praise you, Agni, whose sustenance belongs to all, immortal,immortal guardian, worthy of sacrifice, supreme performer and bearer of offerings.

1.44.6 Be gracious to your singer, youngest, honey-tongued and well served;lengthen Praskanva's days so he may live, honoring the divine race.

1.44.7 The peoples kindle you as their all-knowing invoker;bring here the wise gods swiftly, Agni much invoked.

1.44.8 The Kanvas, who have pressed soma, kindle you in the dawns of night,Agni, bearer of offerings, together with Savitar, Ushas, the Ashvins, and Bhaga.

1.44.9 You are the lord of rites, Agni, the messenger of peoples;awake at dawn, bring the heaven-seeing gods to drink soma today.

1.44.10 Before the first dawns, radiant Agni, you blazed for all to see;you are protector in the settlements, priest before the people, human at sacrifices.

1.44.11 We set you here as the one who completes the sacrifice, Agni, invoker and minister,as Manu did: perceptive, lively, deathless messenger.

1.44.12 When you travel as the gods' messenger within, priest before the people, friend of mighty Mitra,Agni's flames flash like rushing waves of a river.

1.44.13 Hear us with attentive ears, Agni, and come with your fellow gods;let Mitra and Aryaman, travelers at dawn, sit on the ritual grass for the rite.

1.44.14 Let generous Maruts, with Agni as their tongue, hear the praise and grow through Truth;let Varuna, keeper of ordinances, drink soma with the Ashvins and Ushas.

1.45.1 Agni, sacrifice here to the Vasus, the Rudras, and the Adityas,the divine people born of Manu, sprinkled with ghee.

1.45.3 Jatavedas, great in ordinance, hear Praskanva's callas you heard Priyamedha, Atri, Virupa, and Angiras.

1.45.4 The Priyamedhas, loud in song, called to Agni for help,reigning over rites with a brilliant flame.

1.45.5 Fed with ghee and ever near us, listen well to these songswith which Kanva's sons call upon you for help.

1.45.6 People in their settlements call on you, most splendid in fame,flame-haired Agni, loved by many, to carry their offerings.

1.45.7 Inspired poets have set you down in heavenly rites as invoker and minister,richest finder of treasures, far-reaching, ever listening, Agni.

1.45.8 Inspired pressers of soma have called you to the offering,Agni, who carry oblations and shine greatly for mortal givers.

1.45.9 Child of strength, present one, seat the divine people here todayupon the ritual grass to drink soma in the morning.

Hymn 1.46 — Seer: Praskanva Kanva. Deities: the Ashvins. Meter: Gayatri.

1.46.1 This peerless Ushas dawns, beloved daughter of heaven;I praise you two Ashvins greatly.

1.46.2 Wonder-workers born of the river, traversers of wealth,you gods find treasures through thought.

1.46.3 Your voices sound out on the high plateau at dawnwhen your chariot flies through the sky.

1.46.4 With offerings the lover of waters brings fullness, you nourished heroes,the father of Kutsa's people.

1.46.5 Nasatyas, receivers of our thoughts and voices of prayer,drink the soma boldly.

1.46.6 Ashvins, grant us that shining nourishmentwhich carried us through the darkness.

1.46.7 Come to us in the boat of our thoughts to reach the farther shore;harness your chariot, Ashvins.

1.46.8 Your oar is broad as heaven, your chariot at the river's crossing;the soma drops were harnessed through insight.

1.46.9 Kanvas, drops of heavenly wealth, by the rivers' dwelling,where do you two set your own shelter?

1.46.10 The light has come for the stalk; gold faces the sun;the dark one gazed out with his tongue.

1.46.11 The good path of Truth has appeared for reaching the farther shore;heaven's open highway has been seen.

1.46.12 The singer decks out each act of help from the Ashvinswhile they swell with soma's delight.

1.46.13 Desiring the soma to drink at the house of Vivasvat,come, bringers of good, with our song, as you did for Manu.

1.46.14 Ushas has followed your splendor, far-ranging ones, and drawn near;through the nights you win what is true.

1.46.15 Drink, both of you Ashvins; grant us both your shelterswith unbroken protections.

1.47.3 Ashvins, growing through Truth, drink the sweetest soma;then come to the worshiper today, wonder-workers, bearing wealth on your chariot.

1.47.4 At the threefold seat on the ritual grass, all-knowing ones, moisten our sacrifice with honey;the Kanvas who press soma and face the light call you, Ashvins.

1.47.5 With the protections with which you aided Kanva, Ashvins,guard us, lords of beauty, and drink soma, you who grow through Truth.

1.47.6 Wonder-working Ashvins, carry wealth and nourishment on your chariot to Sudas;set much-desired riches here for us from sea or heaven.

1.47.7 Whether you dwell afar, Nasatyas, or among the Turvashas,come from there in your well-turned chariot together with the sun's rays.

1.47.8 Let your horses, glory of sacrifice, bear you near to the pressing;generous heroes, bring food to the good doer and sit upon the ritual grass.

1.47.9 Come in that sun-bright chariot, Nasatyas,in which you have always carried wealth to your worshiper, to drink soma's honey.

1.47.10 With hymns and songs we call you near to help, rich ones;in the beloved assembly of the Kanvas you have always drunk soma, Ashvins.

1.48.1 Dawn on us with beauty, Ushas, daughter of heaven;with great splendor, radiant one, and wealth, generous goddess.

1.48.2 Your horse-rich, cattle-rich gifts bring all good things, abundantly stirring men to rise;rouse truthful speech before me, Ushas; stir the generosity of patrons.

1.48.3 Ushas has dawned and will dawn again, goddess who speeds the chariots;at her approach men seek renown as they venture on the sea.

1.48.4 Ushas, the generous wise turn their minds to giving as you set forth;here Kanva, greatest of Kanvas, celebrates their names among men.

1.48.5 Like a lovely woman, generous Ushas arrives and makes abundance hers;she wakes the walking host of men and sends birds flying.

1.48.6 She sends companions and wayfarers on their separate ways, never delaying her own course;at your dawning, bringer of prizes, no winged birds sit still.

1.48.7 From far away, from where the sun rises, this fortunate Ushas has harnessedher hundred chariots and travels among human beings.

1.48.8 The whole moving world bows before her for sight; the gracious one makes light;wealthy Ushas, daughter of heaven, drives away hatred and deceit at dawn.

1.48.9 Shine out with your lovely radiance, Ushas, daughter of heaven;bring us abundant good fortune as you dawn amid heavenly hymns.

1.48.10 All breath and life depend upon you as you dawn, gracious one;hear our call on your great chariot, radiant one of splendid gifts.

1.48.11 Ushas, win the prize renowned among humankind;bring it to the rites of those who do good and sing to you as offerers.

1.48.13 She whose rosy beams appeared auspicious before us:may Ushas give us lovely wealth, desired by all, easy to obtain.

1.49.3 Even winged birds, two-footed and four-footed beings, bright one,set out as you dawn from heaven's edges in due season.

1.50.1 His rays lift the god Surya, who knows all beings,for all the world to see.

1.50.2 Stars vanish with the nights like thievesbefore the all-seeing sun.

1.50.3 His lights, his rays, have appeared among the peoples,shining like fires.

1.50.4 Swift, visible to all, maker of light, Surya,you illuminate the entire bright realm.

1.50.5 You rise facing the gods' peoples, facing humanity,facing everyone, so that they may see the sunlight.

1.50.6 With the pure eye by which you watch busy humankind,you gaze upon them, Varuna.

1.50.7 You cross heaven and the wide expanse, measuring days with nights,watching generations, Surya.

1.50.8 Seven bay mares carry you in your chariot, divine Surya,you seer with flaming hair.

1.50.9 The sun harnessed seven pure daughters of his chariot;with those self-harnessed steeds he rides.

1.50.10 Rising above darkness, seeing the higher light,we have reached Surya, god among gods, the highest light.

1.50.11 As you rise today, O sun, friend of greatness, climbing the higher heaven,destroy my heart disease and my yellow sickness.

1.50.12 We place my yellow sickness among parrots and yellow birds;in golden birds we deposit my yellow sickness.

1.50.13 This sun has risen with all his strength;may he subdue the one who hates me, and may I not submit to my enemy.

Hymn 1.51 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (14–15).

1.51.1 Celebrate in song that much-invoked ram, Indra worthy of hymns, an ocean of wealth;praise the inspired one, greatest giver, whom the heavens cannot contain for human enjoyment.

1.51.2 His protections, his ready help, gathered around him, wrapped in might filling the sky;wise Ribhus mounted Indra, hundred-powered, with swift true speech that stirs joy.

1.51.3 You opened the cattle pen for the Angirases, and made a way for Atri through a hundred doors;you brought wealth to Vimada and moved the mountain in battle for the one longing for it.

1.51.4 You opened the barriers holding back the waters; you held rich abundance on the mountain;when you killed Vritra the serpent by your might, Indra, you raised the sun into heaven for sight.

1.51.5 With your powers you drove down the sorcerers who cried out from ambush under their own laws;you broke Pipru's fortresses for Nriman and helped Rijishvan in killing Dasyus.

1.51.6 You guarded Kutsa in battles against Shushna, and handed Shambara over to Atithigva;you trod down mighty Arbuda; from ancient times you were born to defeat the Dasyus.

1.51.7 In you all powers are held together; your bounty rejoices in the drinking of soma;your mace in your arms is known: cut away all your enemy's virile strength.

1.51.8 Distinguish the Aryas and those who are Dasyus; bring the lawless under the worshiper on the grass;stand strong, urged on by the sacrificer; all these things are yours in festive assemblies.

1.51.9 Bringing the breakers of ordinances under the obedient, Indra broke those without help through his allies;even while the old one grew, the praising ant struck down the hoarders and reached heaven.

1.51.10 When Ushana fashioned your strength together with force, your might pressed apart both worlds with majesty;your steeds, manly and yoked by thought like the wind, bore you growing toward glory.

1.51.11 When Indra rejoiced most beside Ushana Kavya, he mounted the curved ridge upon ridge;the fierce, swift one released the streams of waters and broke apart Shushna's fortified towns.

1.51.12 You stand in the chariot among strong-handed ones, rejoicing in Sharyata's offerings;Indra, as you love the soma pressers, you climb to heaven in unbridled praise.

1.51.13 You gave young Vrichaya to great-speaking Kakshivant as he pressed soma, Indra;you became the wife of Vrishanashva, wise one: all your deeds deserve proclamation at pressings.

1.51.14 Indra is kindled among the wise, praised among the Pajras like a post before the house;longing for horses, cattle, chariots, and wealth, Indra holds the riches that move forth.

1.51.15 This reverence has been spoken to the bull, sovereign in his own right, truly strong;Indra, let us and all our heroes dwell with generous patrons in your shelter in this gathering.

Hymn 1.52 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (13–15).

1.52.1 Honor well that ram who finds the sun, whose hundred powers rise together;let us turn Indra toward us for aid with beautiful songs, like a horse for the prize, a chariot drawn to the call.

1.52.2 Unshaken as a mountain on its foundations, he grew mighty with a thousand protections;when Indra killed Vritra who penned up the rivers, he loosed the floods, exulting in the drink.

1.52.3 He opened the gates within gates, the udder that gleams below, growing glad with wise men's joy;I call that Indra with finely made thought, most generous giver, filled with the draught.

1.52.4 His own blessings fill him in heaven like streams filling the sea;his protections stood beside him for Vritra's slaughter, his windless power, straight in purpose.

1.52.5 His protections sped like racers downhill toward their own outpouring as he fought in ecstasy;when mace-bearing Indra, emboldened by the drink, broke Vala's defenses like Trita.

1.52.6 His fierce power courses around and flashes, having surrounded the waters and settled at the base of heaven;when you struck Vritra's jaw with thunder on the slope, Indra, hard to grasp.

1.52.7 Your strengthening prayers, Indra, cannot sink you, any more than waves sink a lake;even Tvashtar increased your allied might and fashioned the mace, overpowering in strength.

1.52.8 You killed Vritra with your bays, Indra, with purpose gathered, making a path for the waters for Manu;you grasped the iron mace in your arms and held the heavenly sun for sight.

1.52.9 When men in fear raised the shining great light of heaven worthy of praise,the Maruts, man-conquering in human battles, rejoiced with Indra's helpers.

1.52.10 Even heaven shook in fear at the sound of the serpent, and your mace, Indra;when Vritra pressed against both worlds, you smashed his head in the joy of pressed soma.

1.52.11 If the earth with ten arms and all the peoples stretched out all the days,your renowned strength, generous Indra, would still rise to heaven, spreading by might.

1.52.12 Beyond the upper air's expanse, you made your power manifest, bold-minded for aid;you made earth the measure of your strength and encompass waters, sun, and heaven.

1.52.13 You are earth's measure; you became lord of the high, great heroes;you filled the whole midair with greatness; truly no other is like you.

1.52.14 Neither heaven and earth matched his breadth nor rivers reached the expanse's end;nor did his outpouring when he fought in delight: alone he made all else in proper order.

1.52.15 Here the Maruts sang in battle and all gods rejoiced with you,when you, Indra, struck Vritra's turned back with the blazing weapon.

Hymn 1.53 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (10–11).

1.53.1 Now let us bring a great word, our songs, for Indra in Vivasvat's house;he finds treasure even for the sleeping; false praise is not worthy of wealth-givers.

1.53.2 You are the door to horses, the door to cattle, Indra, and to barley, lord of treasure;generous teacher, giving freely from heaven, friend to friends: him we praise.

1.53.3 Powerful, many-doing, most resplendent Indra, all this wealth is known to be yours;gather it from there and bring it by your conquering might; do not leave your eager singer's desire unfulfilled.

1.53.4 With these bright days and soma drops, cheerful, we keep want away with cattle and horses;with Indra and the drops we break the Dasyu, rid of hate, and seize our food.

1.53.5 With Indra let us take wealth and sustenance, many splendid prizes facing heaven;with divine foresight and hero's strength, with cattle at the front and horses, let us grasp them.

1.53.6 Those joys strengthened you, those bull-like somas in the battles with Vritra, true lord;for the singer seated on grass you laid low ten Vritras and thousands without resistance.

1.53.7 Fearlessly you advance from battle to battle; with your might you destroy one fort after another;when, Indra, allied from afar in friendship, you brought down the sorcerer named Namuchi.

1.53.8 You killed Karanja and Parnaya in the bold course of Atithigva;you broke down Vangrida's hundred forts, though Rijishvan encircled you.

1.53.9 You met these twenty tribal kings as they came against their ally Sushravas;with your chariot wheel you laid low sixty thousand and ninety-nine, renowned one, in the hard passage.

1.53.10 You guarded Sushravas by your protections, Turvayana by your shields, Indra;you brought Kutsa, Atithigva, and Ayu under this great young king.

1.53.11 Indra, may we be the happiest of your friends, turning upward under divine guard;we shall praise you, bearing brave sons and ever-longer life through you.

Hymn 1.54 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (6, 8–9, 11).

1.54.1 Generous one, do not leave us in distress in this battle: the end of your strength cannot be reached;you made rivers roar and forests resound: how could lands not tremble in fear?

1.54.2 Sing to mighty, powerful Indra, honor and praise him who listens,the bull who boldly arrays the two worlds with might and his own virile power.

1.54.3 Lift a mighty word of vigor to heaven, to him whose royal power and bold mind are his own;renowned, godly, enlarged in stature, he is the bull before the chariot and its bays.

1.54.4 You made the great summit of heaven shake and broke Shambara beneath with your bold self;when you battle sorcerers with your sharpened lightning in hand, intoxicated and fearless.

1.54.5 When you split apart what rests upon the storm's summit, even noisy Shushna who roars through the woods,with your forward-driving mind and spreading force—even today, who can withstand you?

1.54.6 You guarded heroic Turvasha and Yadu; you guarded Turviti and Vayya, hundred-powered one;you helped Etasha win his chariot in the battle for wealth and shattered ninety-nine forts.

1.54.7 He is truly king and lord of the good, making the people thrive; the giver who follows his command;for him who praises with hymns and gifts, rain clouds swell from heaven above.

1.54.8 Unequaled be their dominion, unequaled their wisdom, soma-drinker, and deeds as well,those givers who increase your vast, lasting royal power and manly strength, Indra.

1.54.9 For you are these many draughts pressed from stone, settled in bowls and cups for Indra to drink;drink deep and fulfill their longing, then set your mind on giving wealth.

1.54.10 Darkness stood upon the water's deceptive barrier, the mountain within Vritra's bellies;Indra struck them all, rivers held captive by a wall, into their downward courses.

1.54.11 Set growing glory among us, Indra, vast sovereignty that conquers peoples;guard our generous ones, protect our patrons, and grant us wealth, good children, and food.

Hymn 1.55 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.55.1 Even heaven's breadth is less than his; earth cannot match Indra's greatness;terrible, powerful, blazing before the peoples, he sharpens his mace like a bull his horns.

1.55.2 Like rivers reaching toward the sea, he gathers far-flung reaches to himself;Indra grows bull-like to drink the soma, warlike from of old, praised for his might.

1.55.3 You rule that mountain, Indra, for enjoyment, as lord of the laws of great manly strength;you are known by heroic deeds among the gods, fierce and set before every undertaking.

1.55.4 In the woods, reverent ones address him; among the people they tell of Indra's lovely strength;the bull becomes eager, beloved bull, when the generous one drives the milk cow to safety.

1.55.5 With majesty he makes mighty contests for the peoples, a fighter strong in force;and then they put their faith in blazing Indra, who strikes weapon upon weapon with the mace.

1.55.6 Longing for glory, he destroys man-made dwellings by the strength growing in him;he makes unthreatening lights for the sacrificer and wisely releases the waters to run.

1.55.7 Soma-drinker, let your mind be set on giving; turn your bays this way at the sound of praise;your keen charioteers, Indra, are not overtaken by swift and watchful ones.

1.55.8 In your hands you carry inexhaustible wealth, in your body invincible power;your many designs, Indra, are like sheltered wells crafted within you.

Hymn 1.56 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.56.1 Here is the conqueror rising over many enemies like a racehorse straining toward a mare;he gives great skill the golden draught to drink, turning his chariot and harnessing the bays with craft.

1.56.2 Songs of praise and nourishment surround him as rivers surround the sea, eager for gain;seekers climb toward him as toward a mountain, this lord of skill and counsel and strength.

1.56.3 Great is this conqueror, dustless in manly power; his swift strength flashes like a mountain's peak;by it, drunk on soma, he bound iron-armed sorcerer Shushna in his own bonds.

1.56.4 When divine strength came to help him grow, it joined Indra as the sun joins Ushas;he drives back darkness with bold strength and raises dust with vast tumult.

1.56.5 When you set the firm expanse of heaven across the supporting sky by your greatness,Indra, rejoicing in the sunlight and soma, you killed Vritra and loosed the flood of waters.

1.56.6 You set heaven's support by strength, Indra, and the mighty foundations of earth;in the joy of the pressed drink you sent the waters flowing, shattered Vritra's side to pieces.

Hymn 1.57 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.57.1 I offer thought to the most generous, great in wealth, true in strength and powerful,whose irresistible bounty, like waters on a slope, lies open to every life for vigor.

1.57.2 Then everything obeys your desire; the pressings of those bearing oblations flow like water downhill,when Indra's golden mace, beloved and shattering, clashes upon the mountain.

1.57.3 Bring reverence to this fearsome one at the rite, lovely as Ushas and worthy of praise;his dwelling was made a light for glory, his name a sign of Indra's power, like swift bay horses.

1.57.4 These are your people, Indra much praised, following you, rich and mighty one;no other lover of song can bear our songs: welcome our words as earth welcomes rain.

1.57.5 Your heroic deeds are many, Indra: fulfill your singer's longing, generous one;broad heaven has followed your valor, and this earth has bent to your might.

1.57.6 That mighty, vast mountain you hacked to pieces with your mace, mace-bearer Indra;you released the pent-up waters to run and gathered all strength to yourself alone.

Hymn 1.58 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (6–9).

1.58.1 Even now the strong immortal bursts forth, when the invoker became Vivasvat's messenger;by the most direct paths he measured the air, seeking the gods with oblations.

1.58.2 Joining himself to his own home, ageless, he stands among brushwood, intent on devouring;he shines like a horse on a rain-damp slope, roaring like thunder from heaven's heights.

1.58.3 Working with Rudras and Vasus, installed as priest before the people, the immortal invoker wins riches;like a chariot among the clans, the god goes forth, continually bringing men desired wealth.

1.58.4 Wind-driven, he stands among brushwood, roaring with wanton tongues and cutting flames;when you rush bull-like through the woods, Agni, your path turns black, your waves gleam red, ageless one.

1.58.5 With burning jaws he runs through woods driven by wind, like a bull dominant in the herd;his force sweeps across the endless air; things still and moving and winged flee in fear.

1.58.6 The Bhrigus placed you among men as lovely wealth easy for the people to call upon;Agni, chosen invoker and guest, gentle as a friend to the heavenly race.

1.58.7 The invoker with seven tongues, best sacrificer, whom singers choose at rites,Agni, bringer of all treasures, I honor with offerings and seek as my jewel.

1.58.8 Give your singers unbroken shelter today, child of strength, friendly in might;Agni, rescue the one who praises from distress, son of nourishment, with iron forts.

1.58.9 Be shelter to your singer, bright one; generous one, give shelter to the generous;rescue the singer from distress, Agni; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.59 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.59.1 Other fires are branches of yours, Agni, and in you all immortals rejoice;Vaishvanara, you are the peoples' navel, holding humanity together like a pillar.

1.59.2 Agni became heaven's summit and earth's navel, then the messenger of both worlds;the gods begot you as a god, Vaishvanara, a light for the Arya.

1.59.3 In Vaishvanara Agni all treasures are held firm as rays within the sun;those in mountains, plants, waters, and humans: you are king over them.

1.59.4 Great as the two worlds for their son are the songs to the human invoker skilled in rites;many mighty songs for Vaishvanara, greatest hero, true in power and bearing sunlight.

1.59.5 Your greatness extends even beyond mighty heaven, Jatavedas Vaishvanara;you are king of human peoples; through battle you have opened a way for the gods.

1.59.6 Now I shall proclaim the greatness of the bull whom the Purus join, the Vritra-slayer;Agni Vaishvanara killed the Dasyu, shook the heights, and broke Shambara down.

1.59.7 Vaishvanara, bright and worshipful, renowned among all peoples and the Bharadvajas;Agni, in the home of Shatavani and Purunitha, is praised with hundreds of gifts and truthful speech.

Hymn 1.60 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.60.1 Matarishvan carried the famous bearer of offerings, sign of the assembly, swift messenger who arrives at once,twice born, praised like treasure, and gave him as a gift to the Bhrigu.

1.60.2 Those who bear oblations and long for him, mortals of both kinds, follow his guidance;the invoker seated before heaven, lord of the clan among clans, must be asked for wisdom.

1.60.3 May fresh praise reach him, born in the heart, honey-tongued and well acclaimed among us,whom the human ministers of the rite, givers of oblations, brought to birth in the gathering.

1.60.4 The pure, desired treasure was set among mortals as their chosen invoker;Agni, guardian of the house and lord of the household, became lord of riches within homes.

1.60.5 We Gautamas proclaim you lord of riches with thoughts, Agni;we adorn you as a swift bearer of prizes; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.61 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.61.1 For him, strong and swift, I raise my praise like a gift, to the great one;for the thirsty singer of hymns I bring my most generous prayers to Indra.

1.61.2 For him I bring a hymn like an offering, a beautiful song of defense;for Indra, ancient lord, poets polish their thoughts with heart and mind.

1.61.3 For him I carry that peerless song which wins the sun with my mouth,the most generous of songs, with well-turned thoughts to magnify the patron.

1.61.4 For him I send the hymn forth like a carpenter a chariot into battle;all my fine songs for Indra, bearer of praise and wise, fill the world.

1.61.5 For him I anoint the song with my tongue, like a steed for fame, for Indra,to honor the hero who dwells among gifts, destroyer of forts whose fame is sung.

1.61.6 For him Tvashtar fashioned the finest mace, sounding out for battle,with which its lord and striker pierced even Vritra's vital part.

1.61.7 At his mother's pressings he drank the mighty nourishment at once, rushing near;stronger Vishnu stole the cooked food and the archer shot the boar through the mountain.

1.61.8 For him even the divine wives sang a song for Indra when the serpent fell;broad heaven and earth he clasped, yet they could not encompass his greatness.

1.61.9 His greatness extended past heaven, earth, and midair;self-ruling Indra, praised everywhere at home, was carried to battle in the sunlight.

1.61.10 With his strength Indra hacked down Vritra, who dried up the world, with his mace;he released the waters like enclosed cows, eager to win fame by giving.

1.61.11 The rivers rejoiced in his splendor when he surrounded him with the mace;he gave to the worshiper as sovereign and conqueror, and made a ford for Turviti.

1.61.12 Against Vritra he hurried with the mace, bearer of sovereign power;he cleft the mountain as one cuts a cow's joints and sent floods of waters running.

1.61.13 Tell of his first deeds, the swift one's works, with new hymns:when he brandished weapons in battle and drove away enemies who rose against him.

1.61.14 Before his terror solid mountains, heaven, and earth themselves shook at his birth;Nodhas sang to the loving one's protection and at once found heroic strength.

1.61.15 For him alone to take, as sole lord over plenty, these rewards were laid out;Indra aided Etasha when he challenged the sun, striving for a fine team of horses.

1.61.16 Thus the Gautamas have made these fine songs for your harnessed bays, Indra;place thought of every form within them; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.62 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.62.1 For the strong one we fashion a mighty song of praise, for the lover of song, as the Angirases did;with beautiful songs we honor the hymn-worthy man famed abroad.

1.62.2 Bring great homage, a mighty chant of praise to the mighty one;with it our path-finding fathers, the ancient Angirases, singing, found the cows.

1.62.3 Through Indra's and the Angirases' seeking, Sarama found nourishment for her offspring;Brihaspati broke the rock and found the cows, and the heroes bellowed with the cattle.

1.62.4 With seven inspired singers, with praise and song, with ninefold singers raising the sound to heaven,you, mighty Indra, split Vala's cavern with a roar and the swiftly moving tenfold singers.

1.62.5 Praised with the Angirases, wonder-worker, you opened darkness with Ushas, the sun, and cattle;you spread the earth's heights, Indra, and propped up heaven's upper expanse.

1.62.6 That was his most worthy deed, the wonder-worker's loveliest marvel:when in the hollow he swelled four rivers, their streams flowing with honey.

1.62.7 Ayasya split apart the two eternal sisters who shared a home, with hymns of praise;like Bhaga in highest heaven, the wonder-worker upheld the two worlds.

1.62.8 From of old the two young ones, heaven and earth, unlike in form, renew themselves by their own motion;with dark and bright forms, Night and Ushas follow each other in turn.

1.62.9 The skillful son maintained their ancient friendship by his strength, working wonders;within raw cows you placed ripe milk, shining white among the dark red ones.

1.62.10 Ancient sisters the rivers, untroubled, immortal, guard their ordinances with strength;thousands upon thousands of them serve him, sisters like wives to a husband, without shame.

1.62.11 Ever young and desiring riches, new thoughts rushed to you with reverence and hymns;like eager wives toward their eager husband, powerful thoughts reach out and touch you.

1.62.12 Your treasures have long been in your hands and never dwindle or wear out, wonder-worker;you are radiant, wise, discerning Indra; teach us, mighty one, by your powers.

1.62.13 For him, Indra, Gautama fashioned a new prayer for the harnessing of your bays;for our good guidance, mighty one, may Nodhas, rich in insight, come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.63 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.63.1 You are great, Indra: at your birth you set heaven and earth in their strength;even all the massive, firm mountains shook like specks in fear of you.

1.63.2 When your bay horses break loose, Indra, your singer places the mace in your arms;with it, tireless in purpose, you stormed many enemy forts, much-invoked one.

1.63.3 You are true, Indra, bold; you are rich in craft, manly and triumphant;you killed Shushna amid hardship for young Kutsa in the shining battle.

1.63.4 You did that, Indra, in aid of your friend, when, mace-bearer and bull in action, you subdued Vritra;when, hero of strong spirit, you cast far off the Dasyus, ungodly from birth.

1.63.5 You were there, Indra, to avert injury even when mortals were strong and unkind;like a timber cutter, mace-bearer, cut our enemies away from our advancing steeds.

1.63.6 You are the one men invoke, Indra, in the battle for waters and the radiant sunlight;your own unfailing aid, self-sustained one, has proved ours in contests for the prize.

1.63.7 You, mace-bearer, smashed seven forts in war for Purukutsa;you made a way for Sudas, king, and the Puru people, as one parts grass and trouble.

1.63.8 You swelled our splendid nourishment, Indra, far-ranging one, like waters;by it, hero, you send us strength to pour forth everywhere, as from a full vessel.

1.63.9 The Gautamas have made prayers for you, Indra, offered in honor of your bays;bring us lovely treasure; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.64 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deities: the Maruts. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (15).

1.64.1 Nodhas, bring a fine hymn for the bull-like Marut host, joyous and wise;like a skilled worker shaping water with his hands, I shape songs in the assemblies with my mind.

1.64.2 They were born from heaven, high bulls, Rudra's young sons, lords without stain;blazing and pure like suns, powerful like drops of rain, terrifying in form.

1.64.3 Young, ageless sons of Rudra, unerring in their attack, they rose like mountains;by their majesty they shake all solid earthly beings and the heavenly ones.

1.64.4 They adorn their bodies with bright ornaments, placing gold plates on their breasts;spears gleam on their shoulders; by their own nature the heroes were born together from heaven.

1.64.5 Lords who shake and destroy harm, they fashioned winds and lightning with their power;they milk the heavens' udders, they travel round the earth and fill it with milk.

1.64.6 The generous Maruts swell the waters with milk like ghee as they appear in gatherings;they lead the racing horse to rainfall and milk the inexhaustible thunderous spring.

1.64.7 Mighty sorcerous buffaloes, bright in color, strong as mountains, swift to strike;like wild elephants you devour forests when you yoke your powers to the red mares.

1.64.8 You bellow like lions, discerning ones, handsome as finely painted figures, knowing all;you speed the nights with your spotted mares and spears, together fierce in conflict.

1.64.9 Speak to Heaven and Earth, glorious hosts, man-conquering heroes fierce in power;on your chariots, Maruts, the flashing splendor stands like lightning on the seats.

1.64.10 All-knowing, rich and united, joined in magnificent strength,these heroes with endless vigor hold arrows in their hands, bull-like eaters.

1.64.11 With golden wheel rims they make their way upward, growing with milk, striking mountains like roadblocks;vigorous, untiring, rushing together, they dislodge what is firm, fierce Maruts with glittering spears.

1.64.12 We praise with invocation the bold, pure, forest-ranging son of Rudra, watching humanity;seek the powerful Marut host that crosses the sky, tempestuous bulls, for glory.

1.64.13 The mortal you guard, Maruts, surpasses other men in strength;he carries off the prize with horses, wins wealth with heroes, lives and prospers, rich in counsel.

1.64.14 Place among our patrons, Maruts, power repeated in battles, unconquerable, radiant;may we nurture for a hundred winters sons and descendants who win wealth and praise before all peoples.

1.64.15 Now place among us firm wealth rich in heroes, Maruts, that overcomes distress,wealth by thousands and hundreds that grows; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.65 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Viraj.

1.65.1 Like a thief with stolen cattle he moves hidden, bearing homage, yoked to homage.

1.65.2 In harmony the wise followed his tracks; all the gods worthy of sacrifice sat down beside you.

1.65.3 The gods followed the ordinances of Truth; he became an embracing shelter, like heaven around earth.

1.65.4 The swelling waters, praising, nourished him well, nobly born in the womb, the seat of Truth.

1.65.5 Lovely as nourishment, broad as a dwelling, abundant as a mountain, and kind as rushing water.

1.65.6 Like a racehorse on its course, released for its run, like a raging river—who can restrain him?

1.65.7 Kinsman of rivers, like a brother to his sisters, he eats forests as a king eats tribute.

1.65.8 When, driven by the wind, he spreads through the forests, Agni eats the hair of the earth.

1.65.9 He breathes in the waters, resting like a swan; keenest in thought, he wakes before the people.

1.65.10 Like Soma the wise one, born of Truth; like a young beast, he shines far and wide.

1.66.3 He holds up security, lovely as home, ripe as barley, victor over peoples.

1.66.4 Praised among the clans like a chanting seer, like a cherished racer he grants vigor.

1.66.5 His flame is hard to approach, his purpose constant; like a wife in her home he is ready for all.

1.66.6 When he glows, shining among the peoples, golden as a chariot, fierce in battles.

1.66.7 Like an advancing army he shows his strength, like an archer's flash, face ablaze.

1.66.8 Born, he is Yama, Yama in begetting, a lover of maidens, a husband of wives.

1.66.9 We come to him from our homes; cattle come to him when he is kindled.

1.66.10 Like a roaring river he ran downward; cows lowed at the sight of the sun.

Hymn 1.67 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Viraj.

1.67.1 Born among woods, a friend among mortals, he chooses obedience like a righteous king.

1.67.2 Gracious as a safe home, kindly in purpose, wise and self-possessed, he became invoker and bearer of offerings.

1.67.3 Holding every strength in his hand, seated in hiding, he has gathered the gods together.

1.67.4 Here men find the inspirer of thought as they speak prayers fashioned in the heart.

1.67.5 Unborn, he upheld the broad earth and propped up heaven with true prayers.

1.67.6 Guard the beloved tracks of cattle, Agni, guardian of all life; you have gone from hiding place to hiding place.

1.67.7 Whoever recognized him dwelling in hiding and came to the stream of Truth—

1.67.8 Those who divide rightly and follow Truth, to them he spoke of treasures.

1.67.9 With his greatness he grows among plants, within offspring and the power of begetting.

1.67.10 A light in the waters, keeper of all life in the home; sages made him like a dwelling in accord.

Hymn 1.68 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Viraj.

1.68.1 Preparing his feast, he took his stand and ranged through heaven; he unveiled nights for the still and moving.

1.68.2 When he alone became god among all these gods through greatness,

1.68.3 then all accepted your purpose, O god, when living flame was born from dry wood.

1.68.4 All share the name of divinity, following Truth, immortal through their own ways.

1.68.5 Truth's command, Truth's thought: sustaining all life, they accomplished every work.

1.68.6 Whoever gives to you or offers you worship, bestow discerning riches upon him.

1.68.7 The invoker seated among Manu's descendants is indeed lord of their riches now.

1.68.8 They desire seed in one another's bodies; the wise know each other through their own skill.

1.69.4 Dear to people and called by them, he sits joyful in the center of the house.

1.69.5 Like a newborn son, dear in the home, like a beloved steed, he crosses the peoples.

1.69.6 When the peoples call him with men who share his home, may Agni attain every divine power.

1.69.10 Carrying him of their own accord, they opened the doors; all helped at the sight of sunlight.

Hymn 1.71 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.71.1 Desiring wives approached their beloved one, their eternal lord, sharing his home;like cows before brightening Ushas, the sisters welcomed the dark and ruddy one.

1.71.2 Our ancestral Angirases broke the solid, stubborn rock with hymns and a roar;they made a path for us to vast heaven, found day and sunlight, a sign of cattle.

1.71.3 Upholding Truth, winning his thought like treasure, the noble workers bore their offering;never thirsty, they went toward divine birth, nourishing it with oblations.

1.71.4 When Matarishvan kindled him and divided his fire, he became a white victor in every house;then the Bhrigus took on his embassy, joining a king more powerful than themselves.

1.71.5 When the knowing one made the sky a stream of nourishment for his great father,the bold archer launched a flash for him, and the god placed radiance in his own daughter.

1.71.6 The one whose home shines for you, Agni, who gives homage through eager days,increase his life in double measure; let the one you urge ride with riches.

1.71.7 All nourishments flow toward Agni like seven mighty rivers rushing to the sea;let no kinship deceive our hopes; knowing one, find protection among the gods.

1.71.8 When luminous vigor reached the lord of men for sustenance, heaven poured pure seed nearby;Agni birthed a young, blameless host, skilled in thought, and stirred it into life.

1.71.9 Like thought, he crosses the road at once, alone and ever ruling over the sun's treasure;kingly Mitra and Varuna, gracious in hand, guard the beloved immortal among the cows.

1.71.10 Agni, do not forget our ancestral friendships, knowing seer that you are;age erases beauty like a cloud: consider us before that curse falls.

Hymn 1.72 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.72.1 Holding in his hand the seers' ancient works, many and manly,Agni became lord of riches, making all immortal things forever.

1.72.2 All the wise immortals searched and could not find the calf moving around us;weary trackers, masters of thought, stood upon Agni's lovely highest track.

1.72.3 When three autumns, Agni, they sought you and honored you, pure ones, with ghee,they took sacrificial names and gave birth to their nobly formed bodies.

1.72.4 The great two worlds, knowing each other, bore forth the Rudra-born, worthy of sacrifice;a mortal half understood and found Agni standing in his highest place.

1.72.5 Recognizing him, they sit down close, bowing to one worthy of honor with their wives;they made their bodies their own, guarding a friend in the blink of an eye.

1.72.6 When the gods of sacrifice found the three times seven hidden steps in you,they guarded immortality together with them; guard our cattle, things still and moving.

1.72.7 Knowing the ways of people, Agni, you made abundant provisions for life;knowing the paths leading to gods, you became tireless messenger and bearer of offerings.

1.72.8 The wise seven rivers from heaven recognized the doors to riches as they opened;Sarama found the solid cattle fold from which our human people now eat.

1.72.9 They stood beside all their fine offspring, making a road toward immortality;great Earth took her place among the great, Aditi the mother with sons to sustain her.

1.72.10 They placed beauty in him when immortals made the two eyes of heaven;then the rivers flowed forth, released, and their red streams ran downward, Agni.

Hymn 1.73 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.73.1 Like inherited wealth that gives life, like the sure guidance of a wise instructor,like a pleasant guest who delights the house, he crosses the worshiper's home as an invoker.

1.73.2 Like divine Savitar, true in thought, he guards every gathering with wisdom;much praised, as true as devotion, he became dear as one's own life, worthy of support.

1.73.3 Like a god he dwells on earth sustaining all, like a king with good allies;like heroes he sits in front and takes shelter, faultless as a woman beloved by her husband.

1.73.4 Men attend you in their homes, Agni, kindled continually in settled dwellings;they have laid great splendor upon you; be the enduring foundation of riches for every life.

1.73.5 Generous men, Agni, would win nourishment, and patrons give it through a whole life;may we win the prize in noble battles, securing our share among gods for glory.

1.73.6 For the cows of Truth, lowing, full of milk, filled their udders and shone with light;seeking favor from afar, the rivers ran around the mountain.

1.73.7 Seeking your favor, Agni, those worthy of sacrifice placed glory in heaven;Night and Ushas, differently shaped, made darkness and ruddy light together.

1.73.8 Let us be among the generous mortals whom you have urged on toward riches, Agni;like shade you cover the whole world, filling both worlds and the midair.

1.73.9 Protected by you, Agni, may we win steeds with steeds, men with men, heroes with heroes;let our generous patrons, heirs of ancestral wealth, live for a hundred winters.

1.73.10 Let these hymns of yours, wise Agni, please your heart and mind;may we draw your well-yoked wealth toward us, bearing glory allotted by the gods.

Hymn 1.74 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

1.74.1 As we approach the rite, let us speak a prayer for Agni,who hears us both far away and here.

1.74.2 He of old among peoples united in affectionguarded the giver's household.

1.74.3 Let creatures proclaim: “Agni has arisen, Vritra-slayer,winner of treasure in battle after battle.”

1.74.4 In the house for which you serve as messenger, you seek oblations for the feast;you make the rite wondrous.

1.74.5 People call him easy to invoke, Angiras, gracious to the gods,child of strength, with the grass well laid.

1.74.6 Bring the gods here for praise,their oblations for delight, beautiful one.

1.74.7 Not even the sound of your horses or your chariot is heardwhen you go as messenger, Agni.

1.74.8 Protected by you, an unashamed prize-winner, one after another,the giver rises forth, Agni.

1.74.9 And you desire bright, great heroic strengthfrom the gods for the human giver, Agni.

1.75.3 Who among men is your kin, Agni? Who performs a rite for you?In whom do you dwell, and where?

1.75.4 You are kin to men, Agni, a beloved friend,a companion worthy of your companions' praise.

1.75.5 Sacrifice to Mitra and Varuna for us, to the gods and great Truth;Agni, worship your own house.

Hymn 1.76 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.76.1 What approach of the mind will find your favor, Agni? What thought will please you most?Who can encompass your skill in sacrifice, with what mind shall we honor you?

1.76.2 Come here, Agni, take your seat as invoker and be our unfailing guide;let both worlds, embracing all, protect you: sacrifice to the gods for our happiness.

1.76.3 Burn away every harmful spirit, Agni, guard the sacrifices from curses;then bring the lord of soma with his bays: we have prepared welcome for this generous one.

1.76.4 With a voice that brings offspring I call you, bearer, and bid you sit among the gods;perform the invoker's and purifier's rites, worshipful begetter of treasure, ever coming forth.

1.76.5 As you, seer, sacrificed to the gods for inspired Manu with offerings,so, most truthful invoker, sacrifice today, Agni, with your joyous tongue.

Hymn 1.77 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.77.1 How shall we worship Agni? What god-beloved song is spoken for the shining one,immortal among mortals, faithful to Truth, the invoker who most truly makes the gods?

1.77.2 Make him your own with homage, the gracious invoker of the rites, faithful to Truth;when Agni conveys gods for mortals, he knows their minds and makes the offering.

1.77.3 He is purpose, he is hero, he is virtuous, a friend driving the chariot of wonders;god-seeking peoples call that wonder-worker foremost in their sacrificial assemblies.

1.77.4 Let that most heroic Agni, destroyer of harm, welcome our thoughts and songs with help;let the generous, strong of old, inspired by prizes, desire our hymn.

1.77.5 So Jatavedas Agni, true to Truth, was praised by inspired Gautamas;may he swell their glory and prizes and, knowing them, favor their increase.

1.78.4 We call you, greatest slayer of Vritra, who shook off the Dasyus;we cry aloud with praises of splendor.

1.78.5 We Rahuganas have spoken a honeyed word for Agni;we cry aloud with praises of splendor.

1.79.1 Gold-haired in the opening of the sky, serpent that shakes, racing like wind,he shines pure in new dawns, glorious ones ever working and faithful.

1.79.2 When the dark bull roared, your winged ones followed their courses unchecked;he arrived with gentle, smiling companions; clouds fly and thunder and rain.

1.79.3 When he drinks the milk of Truth and guides us along Truth's straightest paths,Aryaman, Mitra, and far-ranging Varuna moisten the upper womb's skin.

1.79.4 Agni, child of strength, ruler of cattle-rich prizes,set great renown among us, Jatavedas.

1.79.5 Kindled, Agni, seer rich in treasure, worthy of song,shine for us with wealth, many-faced one.

1.80.1 Thus, in soma's exhilaration, the prayer made you grow;strongest mace-bearer, with your might you drove the serpent from earth, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.2 That pressed soma brought by the hawk, bull-like delight, intoxicated you;with it, mace-bearer, you struck Vritra away from the waters by strength, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.3 Advance, attack, be daring: your mace will never hold back;Indra, your might is manly power; kill Vritra, win the waters, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.4 Indra, you struck Vritra from earth and from heaven;release these life-giving waters accompanied by the Maruts, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.5 When Vritra grew furious, Indra strode forward and struck his summit with the mace,urging waters on for Sarama, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.6 On his crest Indra struck with the hundred-jointed mace,delighting in the drink and seeking a path for his friends, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.7 Indra, bearer of the stone and mace, your heroic deed is unequaled:with cunning you killed that cunning beast, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.8 Your maces stood out over ninety navigable rivers;great was your heroism, Indra, strength residing in your arms, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.9 A thousand sang together, twenty answered all around;a hundred praised him in turn: the prayer rose to Indra, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.10 Indra crushed Vritra's fury with overwhelming force;that was his great manly deed: he killed Vritra and set the waters free, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.11 Even these two great worlds tremble in fear of your anger,when, mace-bearing Indra, you killed Vritra with the Maruts, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.12 Vritra did not frighten Indra with shaking or thunder;the iron mace with a thousand edges came down upon him, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.13 When you fought Vritra and his lightning with your mace,eager to kill the serpent, Indra, your might swelled in heaven, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.14 Even things still and moving tremble at your thunder, wielder of the stone;even Tvashtar quakes in fear of your rage, Indra, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.15 No one whom we know can surpass Indra in heroic deeds;within him the gods set manly power, wisdom, and strength, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.16 The thought fashioned by Atharvan, father Manu, and Dadhyang:within that first prayer Indra's hymns came together, singing of your sovereignty.

Hymn 1.81 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Pankti.

1.81.1 Indra grew for delight and strength, Vritra-slayer strengthened by men;we call him in great and little battles; may he guard us in contests.

1.81.2 For you are a hero leading hosts and give abundantly;you increase even the little and teach the worshiper; you have great wealth for the soma-presser.

1.81.3 When battles rise and prizes are placed before the bold, harness your joyous bays;whom will you kill, whom endow with treasure? Endow us, Indra, with treasure.

1.81.4 Great by wisdom, his fearsome strength has grown by its own law;for splendor the high-born, bay-horsed one holds the iron mace in his two hands.

1.81.5 He filled the earthly air and braced the lights of heaven;no one like you, Indra, has been or will be born: you have outgrown the whole world.

1.81.6 He who gives a mortal's livelihood to a noble giver:let Indra teach us; share out your abundant wealth, so I may enjoy your bounty.

1.81.7 At every joyous draught our generous guide, straight in purpose, gives herds of cows;gather many hundreds, wealth in both hands, sharpen it and bring us riches.

1.81.8 Rejoice beside the pressed soma, hero, for strength and bounty;we know you possess many riches; we have released our desires to you: be our defender.

1.81.9 These people of yours, Indra, nourish every desirable thing;for you know inwardly those men, noble and ungenerous; bring us their wealth.

Hymn 1.82 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meters: Pankti, Jagati (6).

1.82.1 Listen to our songs, generous one, not as if you were far away;when you come to us who speak truly, harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.2 They have eaten and rejoiced; their loved ones shook off weariness;the self-radiant sages praised you with newest thought: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.3 We would honor you, generous one, beautiful to behold;come now, praised, with the seat full, according to your desire: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.4 He mounts that bull-like chariot, finder of cattle,who recognizes Indra's full cup and the harnessing of the bays: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.5 Let your right and left horse both be yoked, hundred-powered one;with them go delighted by the drink to your beloved wife: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.6 With prayer I yoke your long-maned bay horses; come forward and take the reins;the vigorous pressed juices have exhilarated you, mace-bearer; with Pushan, delight together with your wife.

Hymn 1.83 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.83.1 First among horses and cattle goes the mortal you protect, Indra, by your help;you fill him with greater wealth, as discerning waters fill a river on all sides.

1.83.2 Like goddesses the waters approach the sacrificial fire and see shelter spread wide as the sky;the gods lead the god-seeker forward, pleased with this lover of prayer like chosen friends.

1.83.3 You placed a hymn in the two who offer together, lifting ladles to worship;the one not confined lives and thrives by your ordinance; blessed strength comes to the presser.

1.83.4 Then the Angirases first took up their work as fires, with skilled hands and wood;those heroes found every treasure of the Pani, horses and cattle and beasts.

1.83.5 Atharvan first laid out the paths with sacrifices; then the sun, guardian of ordinance, was born;Ushana Kavya drove the cows here; we worship Yama's immortal offspring.

1.83.6 Where ritual grass is spread for fine offspring, where a song sounds heavenward,where the pressing stone speaks and a poet chants, there Indra delights at evening meals.

1.84.2 The two bay horses bear Indra of unassailable forcetoward the seers' praises and the human sacrifice.

1.84.3 Mount your chariot, Vritra-slayer; your bay horses are yoked by prayer;let the pressing stone's call turn your mind this way.

1.84.4 Drink this pressed soma, Indra, the foremost immortal delight;bright streams poured over you in the seat of Truth.

1.84.5 Now sing to Indra and utter hymns;the pressed drops have brought joy; honor his foremost power.

1.84.6 No charioteer surpasses you, Indra, when you restrain your bays;none matches your greatness, none with finer horses has reached you.

1.84.7 He alone allots treasure to the mortal giver,Indra, lord whom none can turn aside.

1.84.8 When will he kick a grudging mortal away like a mushroom?When will Indra hear our songs?

1.84.9 Even when one who has pressed soma honors you from among the many,that fierce strength comes to its master, Indra.

1.84.10 The bright cows drink the sweet, abundant honey,who journey and rejoice with bull-like Indra in splendor, rich in wealth, following his sovereignty.

1.84.11 Those spotted cows who love him blend the soma for him;Indra's beloved milk cows drive forth his striking mace, rich in wealth, following his sovereignty.

1.84.12 Those wise ones serve his strength with homage;they attend his many ordinances for ancient insight, rich in wealth, following his sovereignty.

1.84.13 With the bones of Dadhichi, Indra, whom none could turn aside,struck down ninety-nine Vritras.

1.84.14 Seeking the horse's head hidden in the mountains,he found it at Sharyanavat.

1.84.15 Here they remembered the cow's secret name,Tvashtar's, in the home of the moon.

1.84.16 Who now yokes to the pole the cows of Truth, active, shining, hard to restrain?Arrows at the mouth, joy in the heart—who can withstand their assault and live?

1.84.17 Who strives, who is stirred, who fears? Who considers Indra present here?Who will speak for children, for elephants and wealth, for oneself and the people?

1.84.18 Who worships Agni with an oblation of ghee, with a ladle, in the constant seasons?To whom will I swiftly bring the gods? Who knows the god-loving invoker of the feast?

1.84.19 You yourself, strongest god, will praise the mortal;no one but you, generous Indra, shows mercy: I speak my word to you.

1.84.20 Let neither your gifts nor your protections, generous one, fail us ever;measure out for us every human treasure, all wealth for the peoples.

Hymn 1.85 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deities: the Maruts. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (5, 12).

1.85.1 The wondrous sons of Rudra array themselves on their journey like women, like horses;Maruts, they make both worlds increase; bold heroes rejoice in the assemblies.

1.85.2 Anointed, they reached greatness; sons of Rudra took their seat in heaven;sons of Prishni sang their song, generated power, and put on splendor.

1.85.3 Born of the cow, they adorn themselves with ornaments and place bright gold plates upon their bodies;they drive every threat away, and ghee flows along their paths.

1.85.4 Splendid ones gleam with spears, shaking even the immovable through strength;swift as thought, Maruts, bull-like companies, you yoked the spotted mares to your chariots.

1.85.5 When you yoked spotted mares to chariots, Maruts, driving the mountain fast toward the prize,streams poured out from the red one; with waters you drenched the earth like a hide.

1.85.6 Let swift steeds bring you here, flying rapidly, as you advance with strong arms;sit on the ritual grass, your spacious place prepared, and delight in the honeyed draught, Maruts.

1.85.7 These self-strong ones grew in greatness, stood upon heaven's vault, made a broad seat;when Vishnu ran to the exhilarated bull, he settled like a bird on the beloved grass.

1.85.8 Like heroes bound for battle, like fighters they advanced, as seekers of renown ranged over battlefields;all worlds fear the Maruts, heroes terrible to see as kings.

1.85.9 When skilled Tvashtar fashioned the golden, thousand-edged mace,Indra took it up to accomplish manly deeds: he killed Vritra and released the flood of waters.

1.85.10 You forced the spring upward by your might, split apart even the stubborn mountain;blowing your pipes, generous Maruts, you made merry in the joy of soma.

1.85.11 They pushed the crooked spring in that direction, poured out a fountain for thirsty Gotama;bright ones came with aid and satisfied the sage's longing with their powers.

1.85.12 The triple shelters you have for the devoted giver, bestow them;turn them toward us, Maruts; strong ones, grant us riches with brave sons.

1.86.3 And the one for whom the inspired poet fashioned songs of prizeswill come to a cattle-rich pasture.

1.86.4 On this hero's ritual grass, pressed soma is offered at heavenly rites;his song and delight are praised.

1.86.5 May all the worlds hear his song and all the peoples,even the sun and swiftly moving nourishment.

1.86.6 Through many autumns, Maruts, we have made offerings,and sought the help of the peoples.

1.86.7 Blessed be the mortal, worshipful Maruts,whose offerings you carry beyond danger.

1.86.8 And, heroes, know the longing of the devoted man,true in strength, who labors and desires.

1.86.9 You, true in power, reveal that by your greatness;pierce the harmful spirit with lightning.

1.87.3 Earth trembles like a tottering thing at their passage when they yoke themselves to journey in glory;those playful shakers, glittering-speared, rejoice in the greatness they themselves proclaim.

1.87.4 The young host with spotted steeds rushes of its own accord, lord wrapped in power;you are true, debt-paying, worthy of praise, guardian of this thought and mighty host.

1.87.5 We speak of the ancient father's birth; Soma's tongue goes forth with sight;when they sat beside Indra singing for peace, they took the names of sacrifice.

Hymn 1.88 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deities: the Maruts. Meters: Trishtubh, variant Pankti (1, 6), Viraj (5).

1.88.1 Come, Maruts, in lightning-bearing chariots radiant with hymns, armed with spears and swift-winged horses;fly like birds toward us with the richest food, masters of marvels.

1.88.2 With tawny and reddish horses they race for beauty, pulling the chariot;its flashing gold ornaments and bladed wheels strike the earth.

1.88.3 Your axes are raised on your bodies for splendor; your wisdom makes the forests stand upright;well-born Maruts of mighty glory, for you they break the mountain for treasure.

1.88.4 Days circled you like eager birds, and this divine, song-worthy thought;the Gautamas made prayers with hymns and drove the spring upward to drink.

1.88.5 Gotama discerned that distant journey of yours, Maruts, when he sawthe wild boars speeding with golden wheels and iron tusks.

1.88.6 This supporting song of yours, Maruts, answers like the singer's voice;she resounded freely according to their own nature, within their hands.

1.89.4 May the wind blow healing joy to us, and Mother Earth and Father Heaven;may the soma-pressing stones bring it; may you two discerning Ashvins hear us.

1.89.5 For aid we call the lord of the moving and the still, who quickens thought;let Pushan increase our knowledge, unfailing guardian and defender for well-being.

1.89.6 May Indra of growing fame give us well-being, and Pushan who knows all;may Tarkshya with unbroken wheels give well-being, and Brihaspati give us well-being.

1.89.7 May the Maruts, with spotted horses, born of Prishni, go with joy to assemblies;with Agni as their tongue and the sun as their eye, may all gods come here to aid us.

1.89.8 May we hear what is good with our ears, gods; see what is good with our eyes, worshipful ones;with firm limbs and bodies, singing your praises, may we live the life the gods have allotted.

1.89.9 A hundred autumns lie before us, gods, where you have appointed our bodies' aging,where sons become fathers; let no harm interrupt the course of our life midway.

1.91.11 We who know speech strengthen you with songs, Soma;enter us full of gracious mercy.

1.91.12 Expanding our households, driving disease away, finding treasure, increasing plenty,be our faithful friend, Soma.

1.91.13 Settle in our hearts, Soma, like cattle amid the pastures,like a young man in his own home.

1.91.19 All your dwelling places honored by offerings, surround our sacrifice;expanding homes and brave sons, traversing dangers, Soma, walk through our homes without killing heroes.

1.91.20 Soma gives a milk cow, Soma a swift horse, Soma a hero fit for actionto the one who gives to him—a man at home in council and assembly, honored by his fathers.

1.91.21 May we rejoice in you, Soma, unbeaten in battles, mighty, winning sunlight and waters, guarding the people,victorious in the struggle for riches, well housed and famed.

1.91.22 You gave birth to all these plants, Soma, to waters and cattle;you stretched the broad midair and with light dispersed the darkness.

1.91.23 With your divine mind fight for our share of riches, mighty divine Soma;let no rival master your strength; distinguish the two sides in our search for cattle.

Hymn 1.92 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Ushas (the Ashvins in verses 16–18). Meters: Jagati (1–4), Trishtubh (5–12), Ushnih (13–18).

1.92.1 These dawns have made their sign, adorning the eastern half of the air with brightness;red mothers advance toward the cattle, bringing their weapons to light like bold fighters.

1.92.2 Ruddy rays flew upward freely; the dawns yoked their self-harnessed red cattle;as before they made their signs and fastened their red splendor to the shining light.

1.92.3 The women sing through their work as workers at the same task, journeying together from afar;all these generous ones bring nourishment for the doer of good, the presser at the sacrifice.

1.92.4 She casts on finery like a dancer and bares her breast like a red cow;making light for every living thing, Dawn opens the darkness as cows stream from their stall.

1.92.5 Her rosy brilliance appeared and spreads abroad, driving black night away;daughter of heaven has assumed bright radiance, adorning her beauty in the gathering like a carved post.

1.92.6 We have crossed to darkness's farther shore; dawning Ushas opens the ways;she smiles like a lover as she shines, fair-faced she comes to give joy.

1.92.7 The Gautamas praise heaven's shining daughter, guide of truthful speech;Ushas, measure out cattle-led prizes, rich in children, men, and waking horses.

1.92.8 May I win from you, Ushas, wealth glorious and rich in heroes, commanding servants and rousing horses;with your skillful deeds and great renown you shine, fortunate giver of prizes.

1.92.9 The goddess shines face-to-face with every world, her eye turned toward all the wide expanse;she awakens every living thing to move; she has found the voice of every thinking man.

1.92.10 Born again and again, though ancient, she adorns herself in the same colors;like a skilled gambler cutting away a stake, the goddess wears away mortal life.

1.92.11 Unveiling heaven's edge, she awoke and drove her sister far away;taking away human generations, she shines like a woman before her lover's eyes.

1.92.12 Bright and fortunate, she spreads wide like herds, crosses the expanse like the rushing river;never breaking divine ordinances, she appears among the rays of the sun.

1.92.13 Ushas, bring us that splendid prize, you who bring prizes,by which we may establish children and descendants.

1.92.14 Dawn on us today, Ushas, rich in cattle and horses, radiant one,with treasure and truthful speech.

1.92.15 Harness your ruddy horses today, Ushas, bringer of prizes;then bring us every fortune.

1.92.16 Ashvins, bring your cattle-rich, gold-rich dwelling toward us, wonder-workers;draw your chariot here in one accord.

1.92.17 You who have made light from heaven for people in this way, worthy of song,bring us nourishment, you two Ashvins.

1.92.18 Come here, joy-bringing gods, wonder-workers of golden paths;let your dawn-waking steeds carry you to drink soma.

Hymn 1.95 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Agni, or Agni of the dawn. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.95.1 Two of different forms move for their own purpose, each giving suck to the other's calf;in one he is tawny and self-sustained; in the other bright and splendid to behold.

1.95.2 Ten tireless young women bore Tvashtar's embryo and carried him around;with sharp front, famed among men, they lead him shining in their midst.

1.95.3 His three births surround him: one in the sea, one in heaven, one in the waters;he assigned the earthly seasons, obeying and ruling in the eastern quarter.

1.95.4 Who among you knows this secret? The calf through his own nature gave birth to his mothers;an embryo of many workers he arose, the great self-sustained seer coming forth.

1.95.5 Beautiful, he grows within these, upright amid the slanting ones, radiant in their lap;the two worlds tremble at Tvashtar's newborn, yet turn lovingly toward the lion.

1.95.6 Both kindly ones welcome him like lowing cows that approach their young;he became lord of skilled workers, honored by oblations poured on his right.

1.95.7 He raises both arms like Savitar and stretches his two sleeves, fearsome, preparing;he sends forth his bright garment and casts off new clothes from his mothers.

1.95.8 He takes his higher radiant form, mingling at his place with cows and waters;the seer washes his base; his thought becomes an assembly of gods.

1.95.9 Your great surge passes around the foundation of the bull's shining dwelling;kindled by all your own glories, Agni, guard us with protections that cannot fail.

1.95.10 In a dry land he makes a stream, a traveling wave, and with shining waves reaches the earth;he carries all ancient things within his bellies, moving among the new generations.

1.95.11 Thus, Agni, growing through kindling, shine for us with wealth and purifying renown;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

1.96.2 By the ancient invocation, the ancient seer begot these generations of Manus;with shining eyes he saw heaven and waters: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.3 The peoples honor him first, achiever of sacrifice, brightened by offerings;son of nourishment, bearer, swiftly giving: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.4 Matarishvan, nurtured by many, found a path for his son and discovered the sun;guardian of the peoples and begetter of both worlds: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.6 Foundation of riches, gathering of treasures, sign of sacrifice, accomplisher of thought,the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure, guarding immortality.

1.96.7 Home of riches now and before, dwelling of born and unborn,guardian of what is and will be: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.8 Let Dravinodas give the wealth of the swift, the wealth of the ever-present;Dravinodas gives us hero-rich food, Dravinodas bestows long life.

1.97.4 So that your patrons may increase, Agni, and we ourselves prosper,burn away our evil.

1.98.3 Vaishvanara, let this truth of yours stand: may generous riches join us;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

1.100.1 He is the bull living among the strong, sovereign over great heaven and earth;true and triumphant, invoked in battles: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.16 Red and dark horses, led by the good soma-stalk, bear Rijrashva's heaven-housed riches;the joyful bearer of the bull-like chariot on its poles was known among the Nahusha clans.

1.100.17 This bull-like hymn of yours, Indra, the sons of Vrishagira sing for bounty:Rijrashva with his team, Ambarisha, Sahadeva, Bhayamana, and Suradhas.

1.100.18 With his allies the much-invoked one struck the Dasyus and Shimyu and laid them low on earth;with his shining companions he won land, won the sun and the waters with his fine mace.

1.102.9 We invoke you first among gods, victorious in battles;let Indra set our singer and his chariot before us, to pierce obstructions at our departure.

1.102.10 You conquered and never held wealth back, generous one, in small or great battles;we sharpen our call for your fierce aid: spur us on at our invocations, Indra.

Hymn 1.103 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.103.1 The ancient seers long ago upheld that utmost power of yours from far away;one part belongs to earth, another to heaven, while their common sign joins in the gathering.

1.103.2 He upheld the earth and spread it wide; killing with his mace, he released the waters;he struck the serpent, split the mountain stronghold, and smashed the shoulderless one by his powers.

1.103.3 Believing in his power, born in might, he went through the Dasa forts and split them apart;knowing bearer of the mace, increase the Arya's strength and glory against the Dasyu weapon, Indra.

1.103.4 So among these human generations he bore the name of the generous one, worthy of fame;the mace-bearer came forth to destroy the Dasyus, and his son won a name in glory.

1.103.5 See this abundance he has made; place faith in Indra's might:he found cattle and horses; he found plants, waters, and forests.

1.103.6 For the many-working, strong bull, true in might, let us press soma;like a hero he advances, allotting the wealth of non-sacrificers to others.

1.103.7 That was a splendid deed you did, Indra, when with your mace you woke the sleeping serpent;the wives rejoiced with you, and all the gods rejoiced with you.

1.103.8 When you killed Shushna, Pipru, Kuyava, and Vritra, Indra, and broke Shambara's forts,may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.104 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.104.1 A seat has been made for you, Indra; settle here, neighing like a horse;loosen your horses and rest them at dusk and at morning, when they have carried you to the feast.

1.104.2 Those men went to Indra for help; may he arrive from the road even now;the gods restrain the Dasa's anger and bring us a way to prosperity.

1.104.3 He himself carries down what understands signs, while rising foam bears itself upward;washed with milk, the two women of Kuyava shall be struck beside Shipha's slope.

1.104.4 The upper one's navel was severed from the mortal; the hero crosses by the former paths;Anjasi and Kulishi, wives of heroes, bearing milk, carry it forth with water.

1.104.5 When the Dasyu woman was seen following his lead, she went toward the familiar home;then, generous one, remember us: do not deliver us like wealth to hidden ruin.

1.104.6 Indra, allot us a blameless share of sunlight and waters in living hope;do not injure us in the middle of our portion, for your great strength has earned our faith.

1.104.7 Now I think faith has been placed in you for us: bull, urge us toward great treasure;do not hand us, much-invoked Indra, over to hungry birds in an unfinished dwelling.

1.104.8 Do not kill us, Indra, or give us away; do not take our beloved food;do not break our eggs, generous mighty one, or shatter the vessels born beside us.

1.104.9 Come here, for they say you desire soma; here it is pressed, so drink and rejoice;swell your wide belly and hear us when we call, like a father.

1.105.7 I am the one who spoke before at the soma pressing;worries gnaw me like wolves a thirsty beast; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.9 There where those seven rays shine, my navel is stretched out;Trita Aptya knows this and sings for kinship; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.11 Those bright-winged ones sit at heaven's center, barring the ascent;they drive a wolf from the path as it crosses great waters; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.12 This new hymn has been laid down, gods, worthy of speech;the rivers flow with Truth, the sun spreads out what is true; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.13 Agni, you have praiseworthy kinship among the gods;seated here as with Manu, sacrifice to the gods for us, wisest one; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.14 Seated as Manu's wise invoker facing the gods,Agni brings the offerings to birth, a god wise among gods; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.15 Varuna makes the prayer, we seek him as finder of the path;he uncovers thought from his heart; let new Truth be born; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.16 That sun's path in heaven, made by the Aditya, deserves proclamation;not even gods cross it; do you mortals not see it? Know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.17 Trita, fallen into a well, calls on the gods for aid;Brihaspati heard him, making room in the narrow place; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.18 A ruddy wolf once saw me walking on the road;he reared up at the sight like a carpenter with an aching back; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.19 With this song, all heroes and Indra among us, may we overcome the struggle;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

1.106.3 Let our eloquent ancestors guard us, and the divine daughters of gods who grow through Truth;Vasus, generous ones, carry us beyond every distress as a chariot through difficult ground.

1.106.4 We seek Narashamsa, rich in prizes, to spur us here; we seek Pushan, sustaining heroes, with kindness;Vasus, generous ones, carry us beyond every distress as a chariot through difficult ground.

1.106.5 Brihaspati, forever make our road easy; we ask your peace and well-being established by Manu;Vasus, generous ones, carry us beyond every distress as a chariot through difficult ground.

1.106.6 Kutsa, the seer trapped in a pit, called Indra the Vritra-slayer, master of power, to aid him;Vasus, generous ones, carry us beyond every distress as a chariot through difficult ground.

1.106.7 Let divine Aditi shelter us with the gods; let the guardian god protect us without failing;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

1.107.2 May the gods come near to help us as we praise them with the Angirases' song;may Indra with his powers, the Maruts with theirs, and Aditi with the Adityas give shelter.

Hymn 1.108 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: Indra and Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.108.1 Indra and Agni, come in that most splendid chariot of yours which looks out over all worlds;ride together upon it, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.2 As wide and deep as this whole vast world extends,so abundant is this soma for you to drink, Indra and Agni, enough to satisfy you both.

1.108.3 Together you have made a blessed name, Vritra-slayers joined in one purpose;sit together, Indra and Agni, and, bulls, drink your fill of the bull's soma.

1.108.4 When fires are lit and ladles raised and the ritual grass is spread,come near, Indra and Agni, for happiness and the poured, potent soma.

1.108.5 Through the heroic deeds you have done, Indra and Agni, your forms and your bull-like might,through your ancient blessed friendships, drink the pressed soma.

1.108.6 What I first said when I chose you—that this soma is ours to call you to from the Asuras—come true to that pledge of faith, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.7 If you rejoice, Indra and Agni, in your own home or in the home of priest or king,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.8 If you dwell, Indra and Agni, among Yadus and Turvashas, Druhyus, Anus, or Purus,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.9 If you dwell, Indra and Agni, on the nearest earth, the middle earth, or the highest,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.10 If you dwell, Indra and Agni, on the highest earth, the middle earth, or the nearest,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.11 If you dwell, Indra and Agni, in heaven, on earth, in mountains, plants, or waters,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.12 If you two, Indra and Agni, rejoice by your own nature at sunrise in the center of heaven,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.13 So, Indra and Agni, having drunk the pressed soma, win all treasures for us together;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.109 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: Indra and Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.109.1 I looked about in my mind, desiring wealth, Indra and Agni, among kin and people of my birth;no guardian exists for me but you; I shaped this prize-winning thought for you both.

1.109.2 For I heard you give more generously than a son-in-law or a wife's brother;so, as I prepare soma for you, Indra and Agni, I bring a fresh hymn to birth.

1.109.3 “Let us not sever the reins,” the supplicants say, reaching for the powers of their fathers;the stones delight the two bulls, Indra and Agni, in the lap of inspiration.

1.109.4 Divine thought, eager to bring you joy, presses soma for you, Indra and Agni;come swiftly, you gracious-handed riders, and mingle honey with the waters.

1.109.5 Indra and Agni, I have heard you are strongest in allotting wealth and killing Vritra;sit on the ritual grass at this sacrifice and delight in the pressed drink among the peoples.

1.109.6 In calls to battle you surpass the peoples, surpass earth and heaven;in greatness you surpass rivers and mountains, Indra and Agni, and all other worlds.

1.109.7 Bring riches and teach us, mace-armed ones; protect us with your powers, Indra and Agni;these are the rays of the sun through which our fathers won kinship.

1.109.8 Fort-breakers, wielding the mace, give us wealth, Indra and Agni, and protect us in battle;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.110 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: the Ribhus. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (5, 9).

1.110.1 My work is spread out and springs to life again; sweetest thought is proclaimed for praise;this soma sea is here for all the gods; be filled together with the offering, Ribhus.

1.110.2 When you came seeking plenty, my companions went forward with no thought of turning back;sons of Sudhanvan, who have traveled far, come to generous Savitar's home.

1.110.3 Savitar gave you immortality when you went proclaiming what could not be hidden;that one cup, the divine one's vessel for drinking, you made into four.

1.110.4 Setting to work with skill, though mortal, the singers attained immortality;the sons of Sudhanvan, Ribhus who see the sun, came together with their thoughts for a year.

1.110.5 They measured the single precious cup as one measures a field with a rod, Ribhus;praised and seeking excellence, they desired renown among immortals.

1.110.6 For the heroes of the midair let us pour out thought like ghee from a ladle;they followed their father's swift skill, Ribhus and Vaja, and ascended the heavenly realm.

1.110.7 Let Indra with Ribhu be new in power for us, and Ribhu, generous with prizes, give treasure;through your aid, gods, on the beloved day, may we face non-pressers in battle.

1.110.8 Ribhus, you fashioned a cow out of its hide and brought mother and calf together again;sons of Sudhanvan, skilled craftsmen, you made your aged parents young.

1.110.9 Aid us with prizes in winning prizes, Indra accompanied by Ribhus; show us splendid bounty;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.111 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: the Ribhus. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (5).

1.111.1 With skilled hands they fashioned a well-turned chariot, and fashioned the mighty horses that carry Indra;Ribhus, they fashioned youth for their parents, a mother to stay with her calf.

1.111.2 Fashion for our sacrifice, Ribhus, enduring life, skill, and food rich in offspring,so that we may dwell with a people full of heroes; place that power in our host.

1.111.3 Fashion success for us, Ribhus, success for the chariot and the horses, heroes;let us magnify triumphant gain always, gain alongside kin and strangers in battle.

1.111.4 I call Indra with the Ribhus for help, the Ribhus, Vajas and Maruts to drink soma;Mitra, Varuna, and the Ashvins too: may they speed our thought toward victory.

1.111.5 Let Ribhu sharpen our success in battle; let Vaja help us win the contest;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.113 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Ushas (and Night in the second half of verse 1). Meter: Trishtubh.

1.113.1 Here comes the brightest light of lights; a wondrous sign, spreading, is born.As Night, released at Savitar's prompting, yielded her place to Dawn.

1.113.2 Bright with her ruddy calf, the shining one has come; the dark one has left her dwelling.The two immortal sisters, following one another, traverse heaven, exchanging their colors.

1.113.3 The sisters' road is the same, endless; at the gods' bidding each follows the other.They neither clash nor linger, well ordered: Night and Dawn, one in mind, unlike in form.

1.113.4 Radiant leader of fair words, she has appeared and opened the splendid doors for us.She set the moving world in motion and revealed our riches: Dawn has awakened every being.

1.113.5 For one who walks crookedly, for one who goes straight, generous one; for pleasure and for the quest for wealth;For those who see little, to see far and wide: Dawn has awakened every being.

1.113.6 For dominion you wake one, another for glory, one for lofty sacrifice, another to pursue his aim.With her differing gifts of life she looks upon us: Dawn has awakened every being.

1.113.7 Here the daughter of Heaven has appeared, a young woman dawning in shining robes.Mistress of all earthly treasure, fortunate Dawn, shine here today.

1.113.8 She follows the path of those gone before, the first of those who forever come.Dawning, she rouses the living, yet Dawn awakens no one who has died.

1.113.9 Dawn, when you stirred Agni to be kindled and opened the way with Surya's eye,When you roused the people who would sacrifice, you did noble work among the gods.

1.113.10 How far shall she keep pace with the dawns that have dawned and those that will now dawn?Yearning, she follows the earlier ones; shining forth, she joins gladly with the others.

1.113.11 The mortals who saw your former dawning have gone away.Now you are seen by us; those who will see you in days to come are on their way.

1.113.12 Driving hatred away, guarding Truth and born of Truth, bearing kindness, uttering gracious words,Bringing fair blessings and the gods' delight, Dawn, shine here today, most excellent of all.

1.113.13 The goddess Dawn has shone from ancient times; generously she has shone forth today.She will shine through days to come, ageless, deathless, moving by her own laws.

1.113.14 With her bright adornments she has shone on the borders of heaven, drawing off her dark garment.Awakening all, Dawn comes in her well-yoked chariot drawn by ruddy horses.

1.113.15 Bearing gifts of nourishment worth choosing, she makes her brilliant sign known.Last of the dawns that have passed, first of those forever yet to shine, Dawn has gleamed.

1.113.16 Rise up! The breath of life has come to us; darkness has departed and light approaches.She has cleared the way for Surya to travel; we have reached the place where life is prolonged.

1.113.17 The singer lifts his voice with a hymn, praising the radiant dawns.Shine today, generous one, for your singer; kindle in us a life rich in children.

1.113.18 Those dawns rich in cows and heroes that shine for the mortal giver,He who presses soma shall gain them, bestowers of horses, with gracious words rising like the wind.

1.113.19 Mother of the gods, face of Aditi, great beacon of sacrifice, shine forth.Bring praise to our prayer and bring our people to birth, Dawn, desired by all.

1.113.20 Whatever splendid, gracious work the dawns bring to the worshiping man,May Mitra and Varuna grant it us, and Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven.

Hymn 1.114 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Rudra. Meter: Jagati, verses 10–11 Trishtubh.

1.114.1 To mighty Rudra of braided hair, lord of heroes, we offer these thoughts,That he may bring peace to two-footed and four-footed creatures, and all in this village flourish without disease.

1.114.2 Be gracious to us, Rudra, and give us joy; to you, lord of heroes, we bow in worship.The peace and welfare our father Manu sought: may we attain them under your guidance, Rudra.

1.114.3 Through worship of the gods may we win your favor, bountiful Rudra, lord of heroes.Come in kindness toward our people; with our heroes unharmed, we offer you oblation.

1.114.4 For help we call the fierce Rudra, master of sacrifice, keen, wise one.Let his divine anger be far from us; it is his favor we choose.

1.114.5 With reverence we call the ruddy boar of heaven, braided-haired, of dazzling form.Bearing precious remedies in his hand, may he grant us refuge, armor, and shelter.

1.114.6 This word is spoken to the father of the Maruts, a sweet increase sweeter than sweetness for Rudra.Grant us mortal food, immortal one; be gracious to ourselves, our children, and their children.

1.114.7 Do not strike our elder or our child, our growing youth or the fully grown;Do not kill our father or our mother, Rudra; do not hurt our dear bodies.

1.114.8 Do not harm our children, their children, our lives, our cows or our horses.Do not kill our warriors in your anger, Rudra; bearing oblations we call on you always.

1.114.9 Like a shepherd I have brought my praises to you; grant us favor, father of the Maruts.Your goodwill is gracious and most merciful; it is your help that we choose.

1.114.10 Keep far away your slaying of cattle and men; lord of heroes, let your favor be ours.Be gracious, god, speak in our defense, and grant us shelter in double measure.

1.114.11 Seeking help, we have spoken reverence to him; may Rudra with the Maruts hear our call.May Mitra and Varuna grant this us, and Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven.

Hymn 1.115 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Surya. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.115.1 The splendid face of the gods has risen, the eye of Mitra, Varuna, and Agni.Surya has filled heaven, earth, and the midair; he is the soul of all that moves and stands.

1.115.2 Surya follows the radiant goddess Ushas like a young man pursuing a woman.There god-loving men stretch out their labors age after age, good fortune following good.

1.115.3 Surya's bright bay horses, swift and radiant, are beautiful, worthy of praise.Bowing, they have mounted the back of heaven and instantly circle heaven and earth.

1.115.4 Such is Surya's godhead and greatness: midway through his work he gathers up the outspread light.When he unyokes his bay horses from their station, Night draws her garment over everything.

1.115.5 Before the gaze of Mitra and Varuna, Surya takes his form in heaven's lap.One part of his power shines boundless bright; another, dark, his bay horses gather up.

1.115.6 Today, gods, at Surya's rising, deliver us from distress and reproach.May Mitra and Varuna grant this us, and Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven.

Hymn 1.116 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.116.1 For the Nasatyas I spread songs as ritual grass, lift hymns as wind raises clouds;For Vimada, seeking a bride, you swept her off in your battle-speeding chariot.

1.116.2 Whether by your swift strong wings or by the driving force of the gods, you prevailed;Your donkey, Nasatyas, won a thousand in Yama's contest of strength.

1.116.3 Tugra abandoned Bhujyu in the water-cloud, as one forsakes a dying man along with his wealth.You carried him in living ships, sailing through the air, unsinkable in water.

1.116.4 For three nights and three days, Nasatyas, you bore Bhujyu with your flying steeds,Across the water's wet wilderness, in three chariots, hundred-footed, drawn by six horses.

1.116.5 You showed your power where nothing can be grasped, on the unanchored sea without foothold,When you carried Bhujyu home, Ashvins, as he stood on a ship with a hundred oars.

1.116.6 The white horse you gave to Aghashva, Ashvins, to bring him lasting good fortune:Your great gift became renowned; Pedu's champion steed is always called on, a noble horse.

1.116.7 For your singer, Kakshivan of the Pajras, you dug up an overflowing treasure, heroes;From the hoof of a mighty horse you poured out a hundred jars of strong drink.

1.116.8 You kept the scorching heat of fire away with cold and gave him nourishing food.You drew Atri from the fiery pit, Ashvins, and brought all his companions safely up.

1.116.9 You raised up from afar, Nasatyas, a well with lofty base and crooked mouth.Its waters flowed like drink for thirsty Gotama and wealth for his thousands.

1.116.10 You stripped old age away from Chyavana, Nasatyas, like a worn-out robe;You prolonged the abandoned man's life, wondrous ones, and made him husband of young women.

1.116.11 Here is your praiseworthy deed, heroes, your welcome protection, Nasatyas:Knowing where Vandana lay hidden like buried treasure, you brought him to light.

1.116.12 For reward I reveal your mighty work, heroes, like rain from a thundercloud:How Dadhyanch, son of Atharvan, told you the honeyed secret through a horse's head.

1.116.13 Vadhrimati called on you, Nasatyas, in your great journey, rich in succor, bountiful;You heard her like a command and gave her Hiranyahasta, Ashvins.

1.116.14 From the wolf's jaws you freed the quail in her peril, Nasatyas, heroes;And you, rich in aid, gave sight to the poet when he was suffering.

1.116.15 In Khela's battle at the close of day, Vishpala's leg was cut away like a bird's wing.At once you fitted her with an iron leg to run for the prize at stake.

1.116.16 His father blinded Rijrashva for giving a hundred sheep to the she-wolf to devour.For him, Nasatyas, you gave eyes to see, wondrous healers who never fail.

1.116.17 Surya's daughter mounted your chariot as if winning the finish line with horses.All the gods consented in their hearts, and you, Nasatyas, joined her in splendor.

1.116.18 When you came to Divodasa, to Bharadvaja, swiftly answering, Ashvins,Your splendid chariot brought abundance, with a bull and a sea creature yoked to it.

1.116.19 Bearing wealth, good dominion, children, long life, and heroic strength, Nasatyas,You came together with riches to Jahnu's daughter, who gives her share three times a day.

1.116.20 You carried Jahusha, hemmed in on every side, through the night by easy paths across the sky;In your unobstructed chariot, Nasatyas, you crossed the mountains, ageless ones.

1.116.21 In a single night, Ashvins, you brought Vasha to Rana to win a thousand;Together with Indra you struck down the evil misfortunes and enemies of Prithushravas.

1.116.22 From the lowly burning hollow of the well, you raised water high for drinking;For weary Shayu too, Nasatyas, by your powers you filled the barren cow with milk.

1.116.23 For Krishna's son Vishvaka, seeking help, praising you and walking straight, Nasatyas,You restored Vishnapu to sight, like a lost animal found again.

1.116.24 For ten nights and nine days Rebha lay bound, broken, in hostile waters,Scattered and cast into the flood; you lifted him up like soma in a ladle.

1.116.25 I have proclaimed your wonders, Ashvins: may I have cattle, heroes, and be master of them;Seeing and enjoying a long life, may I reach old age as one reaches home.

Hymn 1.117 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.117.1 The ancient priest invites you, Ashvins, to delight in the sweet soma.The gift lies on ritual grass, the song spreads wide; come to us, Nasatyas, with nourishment.

1.117.2 Your chariot, Ashvins, swifter than thought and drawn by fine horses, visits the clans;In it you come to the home of the righteous: come by that way to us, heroes.

1.117.3 You freed the five-tribed seer Atri from distress and the fiery pit, with his companions,Undoing the evil Dasyu's magic, urging him forward step by step, mighty ones.

1.117.4 You drew the seer Rebha from the waters, heroes, like a horse hidden by the wicked;With your wonders you restored him, scattered and lost: your ancient deeds never grow old.

1.117.5 Like one sleeping in the lap of ruin, like Surya dwelling in darkness,Like a bright gold ornament buried out of sight, you raised Vandana up, Ashvins.

1.117.6 Your praiseworthy act, Nasatyas, for Kakshivan of the Pajras was this:From the hoof of a swift horse you poured a hundred jars of honey for the people.

1.117.7 For your singer, Krishna's son Vishvaka, you restored Vishnapu, heroes;And for Ghosha, aging in her father's house, you gave a husband, Ashvins.

1.117.8 You gave a shining bride to dark Shyava, and to the great Kanva a broad land, Ashvins;This feat of yours is worth proclaiming, mighty ones: you bestowed renown on Narshada.

1.117.9 Taking many forms, Ashvins, you brought Pedu a swift horse,The prize-winning, irresistible steed, serpent-slayer, glorious, victorious.

1.117.10 These praises to you, generous ones, are famous songs filling heaven and earth;When the Pajras call you, Ashvins, come with food and a prize for the wise man.

1.117.11 Praised with the song of Sunu, you dug up a prize for the inspired man, abundant ones;Strengthened by Agastya's prayer, you restored Vishpala, Nasatyas.

1.117.12 Where were you going when the poet called his fine praise, sons of Heaven, swift helpers?You lifted him up on the tenth day, Ashvins, like a buried jar of gold.

1.117.13 You made old Chyavana young again, Ashvins, by your powers;Surya's daughter chose your chariot and its splendor, Nasatyas.

1.117.14 By your ancient powers you became young again for Tugra, both of you;You bore Bhujyu from the ocean's waves on flying, straight-running horses.

1.117.15 Tugra's son called to you, Ashvins, cast upon the sea, going forth without fear;You carried him safely away in your well-yoked, thought-swift chariot, mighty ones.

1.117.16 The quail called to you, Ashvins, and you freed her from the wolf's mouth;You crossed the mountain ridge in triumph and cured the child struck by poison.

1.117.17 His unkind father sent Rijrashva into darkness for granting the she-wolf a hundred sheep;You set eyes in him, Ashvins, and gave the blind man sight and light.

1.117.18 The blind she-wolf called out to you, Ashvins: “Heroes, bring me health!”Rijrashva, her lover like a young man with a maiden, had given her a hundred and one sheep.

1.117.19 Great and joy-bringing is your help, Ashvins; you healed the crippled woman too, wise ones.Then Purandhi herself called on you; come to her aid, mighty ones.

1.117.20 For Shayu you filled with milk the barren cow, spent and dry, Ashvins of wondrous deeds;By your powers you carried off Purumitra's daughter to be Vimada's bride.

1.117.21 You sowed barley with the wolf, Ashvins, and milked nourishment for mankind, wondrous ones;You drove the Dasyu away with Bakura and made broad light for the Arya.

1.117.22 For Dadhyanch the Atharvan, Ashvins, you restored a horse's head;With it he told you the honeyed secret of Truth, wondrous ones, Tvashtar's secret hidden from you.

1.117.23 Wise ones, I have always sought your goodwill; protect all my thoughts, Ashvins.Grant us great wealth, Nasatyas, bringing children and lasting fame.

1.117.24 You gave Vadhrimati a son, Hiranyahasta, heroes, as a gift;You brought back Shyava, cut in three, to life, Ashvins, generous ones.

1.117.25 These ancient deeds of yours, Ashvins, the descendants of Ayu have proclaimed.Composing prayers for you, mighty ones, may we speak in council, rich in heroes.

Hymn 1.118 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.118.1 Let your chariot come near, Ashvins, falcon-winged, gracious, splendid,Swifter than a mortal's thought, three-seated, mighty ones, racing like wind.

1.118.2 In your three-seated, threefold chariot, with three wheels and easy motion, come to us;Fill our cows with milk, speed our horses, and make our hero grow, Ashvins.

1.118.3 Come by your swift chariot, wondrous ones, and hear this song of the pressing stone.What, Ashvins, is the nearest path of your return? The ancient sages ask.

1.118.4 May your falcons bring you, Ashvins, swift winged steeds yoked to your chariot,Who, as tireless as heavenly eagles, bear you toward the offered food, Nasatyas.

1.118.5 Here let Surya's daughter, finding joy in you, mount your chariot, heroes;Let your lovely flying ruddy horses bear you swiftly here, like birds.

1.118.6 By your wonders you raised Vandana; by your powers you lifted Rebha, mighty healers;You ferried Tugra's son from the sea and made Chyavana young again.

1.118.7 For Atri, sunk in the pit, you prepared food to drive away heat, Ashvins;To Kanva, harmed and blinded, you restored sight, welcoming his fine praise.

1.118.8 For ancient Shayu in need, you filled the cow with milk, Ashvins;You freed the quail from peril and fitted Vishpala with a new leg.

1.118.9 You gave Pedu the white horse, driven by Indra, serpent-killer, Ashvins,Invincible champion, vanquisher of foes, winning thousands, vigorous, strong-limbed.

1.118.10 Well-born heroes, Ashvins, we call on you, asking for your protection.Come in your wealth-laden chariot for our welfare, welcoming our songs.

1.118.11 With the falcon's new-found speed come to us together, Nasatyas;For I, Rat havya, call you, Ashvins, at the dawning of the oldest Dawn.

Hymn 1.119 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati.

1.119.1 I call your many-wondrous, thought-swift chariot for life, its horses quick, fit for sacrifice;Thousand-bannered, richly laden, bearing a hundred treasures, prompt to heed, opening paths toward the feast.

1.119.2 My hymn is raised to greet its approach; the directions meet in glad expectation.I taste the heated drink; helpers come to meet us: Ashvins, mount your strength-bearing chariot.

1.119.3 When rival hosts meet, contending in battle for splendor, unmeasured in daring,Your chariot, Ashvins, is seen descending the slope, bearing Surya, the chosen bride.

1.119.4 You carried struggling Bhujyu home to his parents on your self-yoked birds;You came, mighty ones, on the victorious path to Divodasa; your help was great.

1.119.5 Your chariot, Ashvins, yoked for your beauty, both brides drew to themselves in strength;The maiden seeking marriage and companionship chose you both as husbands, victorious ones.

1.119.6 You saved Rebha from the enclosing waters and cooled the heat that scorched Atri;You filled Shayu's cow with milk, and prolonged Vandana's life beyond its span.

1.119.7 You restored Vandana, worn down by age, as craftsmen rebuild a chariot, wondrous ones;You brought the seer forth from the field with song: your wonders have appeared for the worshiper here.

1.119.8 You came to one in distress far away, oppressed by his own father's abandonment;Your dazzling, sunlit aids and wondrous rescues were close at hand.

1.119.9 And the honeyed bee sang your praise when Ushij's son invoked you in the exhilaration of soma;You won the mind of Dadhyanch, and his horse's head spoke to you.

1.119.10 You favored Pedu's white horse, Ashvins, chosen to cross through many contests,Unconquerable in battles with arrows, ever active, subduer of men like Indra.

Hymn 1.120 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins (verse 12: destruction of bad dreams). Meter: Gayatri, Kakubh, Viraj, Nashtarupi, Tanushira, Ushnih, Vishtara-Brihati, Kriti, Viraj, and Gayatri (verses 10–12).

1.120.1 What offering, Ashvins, will satisfy you both? What will please you?How can one who does not understand worship you?

1.120.2 A man who knows would ask another who knows; one ignorant and witless cannot.What now of a mortal still unskilled?

1.120.3 We call you both, who know; speak your wise counsel to us today.The devoted singer raises his song, longing for you.

1.120.4 I ask the gods as an innocent might, wondrous ones, about your marvelous sacrificial cry;Guard us from the mighty and rescue us from those who would seize us.

1.120.5 Let my voice go forth, ringing like Ghosha's hymn among the Bhrigus,The voice with which the Pajra worships you, knowing his charge.

1.120.6 You heard Takvan's Gayatri song; I too have sung to you, Ashvins;Give me eyes, lords of beauty.

1.120.7 You two possess great power, or you have attained it for yourselves;Be our treasure-bearing, watchful guardians; protect us from the evil wolf.

1.120.8 Do not hand us over to any enemy; do not let our cows stray from our homes,Those milk-giving mothers with their young.

1.120.9 Let them give milk for a friend's support; measure out wealth and plenty for us together,Measure out food and cows for us.

1.120.10 The Ashvins' seat is their horseless chariot, the seat of the prize-winning pair;With it I long for abundant treasure.

1.120.11 This chariot will carry me among the people;Easy-riding is the chariot bound for the soma drink.

1.120.12 Then the nightmare and the rich man who shares nothing,Both of them, you two, shall perish.

Hymn 1.121 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: Indra or the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.121.1 When will the vessel of the men who love the gods hear the swift Angirases' songs?When the worshipful one spreads out among the clans, across the hall, and strides broad at the sacrifice.

1.121.2 He propped up heaven, its support, and shook it; the skillful one won cattle's wealth for the men;The mighty bull looked upon his own-born lady, the mare, the cow's mother.

1.121.3 The ancient king came to the call of the red mares, swift among the Angirases' tribes day after day;He fashioned his mace, harnessed his team, and supported heaven for the four-footed and the two-footed man.

1.121.4 In his exhilaration he gave the sunlit world to Truth and disclosed the hidden face of the cows;When the three-peaked one turned in their release, he opened the doors against the deceiver of man.

1.121.5 For you the two parents poured their milk, their generous seed, strong and abundant;They offered you the pure wealth of the ever-milking bright cow, her milk.

1.121.6 Then the swift one was born, to rejoice, shining forth like Surya from radiant Dawn;The sparkling soma by which he was gladdened, poured with the ladle, reached his age-old home.

1.121.7 When the woodcutter works with kindling and axe, and the radiant priest moves around the cattle's enclosure,You blaze forth in your deeds day after day, for the restless people's food and cattle.

1.121.8 The driver yoked the two bay horses from mighty heaven to this place, to win renown against the warriors' spring;They milked for your growth with stones the exhilarating, wind-swept, vigorous juice of the cow.

1.121.9 You rolled back the iron stone of the cow, the skillfully guided rock of heaven,When, much-invoked one, fighting for Kutsa, you circled Shushna with endless blows.

1.121.10 Before the sun vanished in darkness, mace-bearer, you shattered that treacherous device;Even the power Shushna had hidden, knotted tightly across heaven, you seized.

1.121.11 The great expanses followed your strength; heaven and earth rejoiced in your deed, Indra.With your mighty mace you pierced Vritra, lying in the channels, the wild boar who confined the waters.

1.121.12 You, Indra, heroic one, stand by the men you protect; harness the swiftest, well-yoked steeds of wind;The thrilling, Vritra-slaying mace that wise Ushanas fashioned for you was fit to cross the great divide.

1.121.13 You halted Surya's bay horses and brought his wheel to men, Indra, when Etasha could not advance;You sent ninety streams over the far bank and overturned the pit on the godless.

1.121.14 Protect us, Indra, mace-bearer, from this hard-to-resist evil, from peril at hand;Grant us chariot-prizes and horse-won food, fame and gracious speech.

1.121.15 Let your favor not forsake us; great winner of prizes, may gifts of food gather round us.Share cows with us, generous friend; may we join your most abundant feast.

Hymn 1.122 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh (verses 5–6: Viraj).

1.122.1 Pour out the drink, you whose anger flies swiftly; bring the sacrifice to generous Rudra.He has been praised, heaven's lord, among the warriors, like an archer's quiver, Maruts, between heaven and earth.

1.122.2 Dawn and Night, like a wife delighting in the first invitation, finding yourselves in many places,Clothe yourselves like a woman in a woven gown, beautiful with Surya's brilliance and gold.

1.122.3 May the all-embracing, rain-rich one delight us; may the wind, bull of the waters, delight us.Indra and Parvata, sharpen us; may all the gods make wide room for us.

1.122.4 And may those of good fame hear my call for Shvetana and guard Ushij's son;Proclaim the child of waters and the two mothers of the wandering life.

1.122.5 I call you to hear the cry of Ushij's son, as Ghosha's song found Arjuna;I speak for Pushan's gift, for Agni's wealth.

1.122.6 Hear my call, Mitra and Varuna; hear it from your seat on every side.May the generous hearer hear us, and the river rich with water and good lands.

1.122.7 Mitra and Varuna, I praise your gift of a hundred cows among the Pajras, rich in nourishment;With Shrutaratha and Priyaratha they arrived, bearing swift, abundant prosperity.

1.122.8 I praise the bounty of this generous patron: may we gain it with strong sons among the Nahushas;The generous man gave the Pajras prize-winning horses and chariots for me.

1.122.9 The one who cheats you, Mitra and Varuna, offers you no libation, dishonestly, like one withholding water;He plants sickness in his own heart when the keeper of Truth is approached with offerings.

1.122.10 That Nahusha, driven by mighty deeds, surpasses the hosts of men and wins good fame;Liberal in gifts and swift in strength, the hero rides through every battle.

1.122.11 May you come to the generous Nahusha's call, kings, hearers, glad in immortality;When his sky-speeding wealth goes forth for praise, great with chariots.

1.122.12 “Set this patron's host in place,” they said of the man of tenfold gifts;In them riches and treasure have found a home: may all gain the prize in their contests.

1.122.13 We delight in the tenfold giver's gift, when twice five bring their offerings of food;With well-loved horses and reins they lead the men to victory, their own masters.

1.122.14 Gold-eared, jewel-necked is the flowing flood; may all the gods grant us ample room;Our benefactor's songs came at once, and the cows found delight among both our peoples.

1.122.15 Four strong steeds of Masharshara came to me, three of victorious King Ayavasa;Your chariot, Mitra and Varuna, with its far-reaching form and woven reins, shone like the sun.

Hymn 1.123 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.123.1 The broad chariot of the bountiful one was yoked; the deathless gods mounted it.The noble one rose out of the dark, separating, taking thought for the dwelling of men.

1.123.2 She woke before all the world, winning the prize, great and triumphant;The ever-returning maiden shone on high; Dawn came first at the early call.

1.123.3 As you divide the day's share among men, well-born goddess Dawn, here among mortals,May Savitar, guardian of our home, tell Surya we are free of wrong.

1.123.4 Day after day she visits every house, bearing the same name each day;Yearning to win, radiant, she comes forever, claiming the foremost of treasures.

1.123.5 Sister of Bhaga, kin of Varuna, gracious Dawn, be first to wake.Let the maker of evil fall behind; with the chariot of bounty may we overcome him.

1.123.6 Let gracious words and generous thoughts arise; the fires stand flaming high.The shining dawns reveal treasures worth desiring, hidden by the dark.

1.123.7 The one recedes, the other approaches; the two unlike days travel together.One makes darkness conceal the world; Dawn lights it with her shining chariot.

1.123.8 Today and tomorrow, alike in form, they keep Varuna's long ordinance;Faultless, each at once traverses thirty leagues according to her purpose.

1.123.9 Knowing the name of the day's beginning, bright, white-robed, she was born from blackness;The maiden of Truth does not transgress its law, coming day by day to her appointed place.

1.123.10 Like a maiden proud of her body, goddess, you come toward the god who would seek you;Smiling before us as a young woman, you unveil your breasts as you shine.

1.123.11 Beautiful as a woman bathed by her mother, you reveal your form for us to see.Shine far and wide in beauty, Dawn; the other dawns cannot rival you.

1.123.12 Rich in horses and cattle, desired by all, striving with Surya's beams,The dawns go away and return, bearing their name of blessing.

1.123.13 Following the ray of Truth, place in us each good and gracious purpose.Shine today, Dawn, ready to hear; may riches dwell with us and with the generous.

Hymn 1.124 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.124.1 Dawn shines as Agni is kindled and Surya rises, spreading vast light.May Savitar set two-footed and four-footed creatures in motion to fulfill our purpose.

1.124.2 Never failing the divine ordinances, she lessens the generations of men;Last of the dawns departed, first of those forever coming, Dawn has shone.

1.124.3 The daughter of Heaven appears again, clothed in light before us all alike;She follows Truth's path straight, as one who knows the way and never strays.

1.124.4 She appears like a beauty revealing her breast, as a poet reveals his cherished works;Awakening sleepers like one who feeds the hungry, she comes again, the oldest of those returning.

1.124.5 In the eastern half of the watery sky, mother of cows, she has set forth her sign;She spreads ever wider, filling the laps of both her parents.

1.124.6 So this most ancient one comes to be seen; she does not exclude stranger or kin.Rejoicing in her spotless body, shining, she fears neither the small nor the great.

1.124.7 Like a woman with no brother she comes toward men, like one mounting a wagon to win treasure;Like a wife eager for her husband, well dressed, Dawn strips away the darkness with laughter.

1.124.8 Sister has given her elder sister room, departing as the other comes into view;Dawning with Surya's rays, she adorns herself like women going to a gathering.

1.124.9 Among these sister days, an earlier one is followed by a later one;Like those of old, may the new dawns now shine on us, prosperous with fair days.

1.124.10 Wake the generous giver, Dawn; let the Panis sleep on unawakened.Shine with riches for the generous, generous one, kindling the singer with gracious words.

1.124.11 This maiden has come forth; before us she yokes her team of ruddy cows.Now her sign will shine; Agni stands at every house.

1.124.12 At your dawning even birds have flown from their nests, and men rise to take their fathers' share.You bring many blessings home to the mortal giver, goddess Dawn.

1.124.13 With my worthy hymn I have praised you; I have strengthened you, ardent dawns.With your aid, goddesses, may we win a prize of hundreds and thousands.

Hymn 1.125 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: praise of Svanaya's gifts. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 4–5 Jagati.

1.125.1 The early visitor bestows treasure in the morning; the wise man receives and keeps it.With it he increases children and life, growing rich and vigorous among his heroes.

1.125.2 Let him have fine cattle, gold, and horses; Indra grants him a long life,Who, early visitor, frees a needy man with wealth, as one frees a foot from a snare.

1.125.3 This man has come early today seeking good deeds, riding in a wealthy chariot, son of sacrifice;Give him the pressed, intoxicating soma to drink; strengthen the lord of heroes with kind words.

1.125.4 Streams of joy flow toward the man who sacrifices, and cows to the man about to sacrifice;Streams of clarified butter flow on every side toward the generous, prolific man who seeks renown.

1.125.5 He who gives ascends to heaven's summit and moves among the gods;For him the rivers stream with butter; for him this gift of bounty swells forever.

1.125.6 Splendid things belong to those who give gifts; theirs are the suns in heaven.The givers share immortality; the givers prolong their lives.

1.125.7 Let no evil befall those who give, let the generous men of good ordinance never grow old;Let some other fate surround them; let griefs close in on those who give nothing.

1.126.1 With clear thought I offer stirring songs for Bhavya, dwelling beside the Sindhu,Who measured out a thousand gifts for me, the undefeated king seeking glory.

1.126.2 At once I accepted from the gracious king a hundred gold pieces, a hundred harnessed horses;Kakshivan received a hundred cows from the lord and spread his ageless fame in heaven.

1.126.3 Ten dark chariots given by Svanaya, with brides in them, came to me;Then sixty thousand cattle followed; Kakshivan won them at the end of the day.

1.126.4 Forty red steeds in front of a thousand lead the procession of the ten chariots;The Pajras of Kakshivan made the eager, lean-flanked racers shine.

1.126.5 After the first gift I received eight cattle yoked in threes, with broad carts;Well-bound together, like the people in their ranks, the chariot-bearing Pajras sought renown.

1.126.6 She who clasps and enfolds me, fluttering like a little bird,Gives me what is dear to me, hundreds of delights to enjoy.

1.126.7 Come close and touch me; do not think my charms too slight.I am all covered in hair, like a ewe of Gandhara.

Hymn 1.127 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Agni. Meter: Atyashti, verse 6 Atidhriti.

1.127.1 I think of Agni the priest as a generous treasure, son of strength, Jatavedas, inspired like a sage;The god rising upright for sacred rites seeks the gods, his flame answering the gleam of poured butter.

1.127.2 As worshipers we call you, most worthy of worship, eldest of the Angirases, bright one, with inspired songs;You range like heaven, priest of the peoples, flame-haired bull, whom the clans urge on for aid.

1.127.3 Glowing with gold, his strength overcomes many deceivers, an axe against deceivers;In the struggle he masters even what is firm as forest wood, overcoming by power, unconquerable in the wasteland.

1.127.4 Even strong doors open for him; with his fiercest fire-sticks he burns, offering aid to Agni;With flame he penetrates far, carving the forest, breaking even solid food and firm things with force.

1.127.5 Let us set his nourishment upon the heights, he who shines brighter at night than day and never fades;May he take up the span of life and give a strong shelter to his son: the deathless fires accept both offered and unoffered food.

1.127.6 He roars like the Maruts' host, moving through fruitful fields without harming them;He takes oblations, worthy beacon of sacrifice; all men welcome his joyful, quivering path, as a path to beauty.

1.127.7 When the Bhrigus, striving toward heaven, rubbed him forth and worshiped him, offering praise,Agni rules treasures; pure, their sustainer, the wise one wins the beloved secret riches.

1.127.8 We call you lord of all peoples, common master of every home, to enjoy the true song;Guest of men, whose mouth is like a father's, bring all the deathless gods to our offerings.

1.127.9 You are born, Agni, mightiest in strength and vigor, for the gods like wealth for the gods;Mightiest is your rapture and most splendid your purpose; the watchful serve you, ageless one.

1.127.10 May a hymn arise for mighty, powerful Agni, awake at dawn and guarding the herds;Bearing oblation, I call him in every dwelling; in the van the seer sings, swift priest of seers.

1.127.11 Bring near to us, Agni, with the gods and wise in your care, great wealth plainly visible;Give us greatness to see and enjoy, most powerful one; generous god, grant singers heroic strength.

Hymn 1.128 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Agni. Meter: Atyashti.

1.128.1 Agni was born in man's keeping, priest most fit to sacrifice, following the eager one's ordinance and his own;Heeds every call for friendship and fame like treasure; unconquered, the priest takes his seat in the place of refreshment.

1.128.2 Let us fan the accomplisher of sacrifice on Truth's path, with reverence and oblations to the gods;He brings us nourishment and never wearies in his work, the god Matarishvan brought for Manu from afar.

1.128.3 Swiftly he circles the earth, repeatedly roaring as a bull scattering his seed;The god sees a hundred things through his eyes, triumphant in the woods, Agni seated on far mountain heights.

1.128.4 Wise Agni, priest appointed in every house, knows the sacrifice by his design;The maker, seeking nourishment, touches all creatures, the butter-bright guest born as wise bearer of offerings.

1.128.5 When his purpose joins his might, Agni's aid comes like a feast of Maruts to seek food;He impels the distribution of goods with his force and saves us from crooked evil and hateful slander.

1.128.6 He encompasses all; the tireless treasure-bearer keeps riches in his right hand, swift in pursuit of fame;He is invoked for every man to bring oblation to the gods; Agni opens the doors to every doer of good.

1.128.7 Placed among men, Agni is most gracious, dear in sacrifice like a conquering clan-lord;He rules the offerings men prepare with praise and saves us from great Varuna's deceit.

1.128.8 They praise Agni the priest, holder of treasure, dear, most wise; they kindle the tireless carrier of offerings;To him, knowing all life, worthy priest and seer, the gods longing for wealth sing lovely songs for aid.

1.129.1 The chariot you lead to win wisdom, Indra, though distant, you bring near, swift and blameless;At once make it ready and its steeds obedient for our aid, eager faultless one, and hear this word of craftsmen.

1.129.2 Hear us, Indra, you who in every battle answer the men calling on your skill to overcome;With heroes you win sunlight, with poets the prize; they honor you as their lord, champion as a racing steed.

1.129.3 Wondrous hero, you swell the bull's hide and encompass every unruly mortal;To you, Indra, and to heaven, to glorious Rudra, to Mitra and gracious, far-reaching Varuna I speak.

1.129.4 We desire Indra as our friend for help, long-lived, mighty ally in contests;Protect our prayer in every battle: no enemy crosses you, for you strike every foe down.

1.129.5 Bend down even Kayasa's hostile thought with your fiercest arrows of aid, your mighty help;Guide us as of old, hero, knowing us guiltless; carry us across all Purus' strongholds.

1.129.6 Let me speak this to life-giving Soma, who glitters like a summoned, arrow-bearing thought, slayer of demons;May he himself defeat our defamer's evil mind with weapons; let the malicious one sink low like a petty stream.

1.129.7 May we win wealth through perceptive priesthood, rich in heroes, pleasant in its power;With good counsel let us join the ill-minded to our food and call glorious Indra with true invocations.

1.129.8 Fill us with your glorious aid: Indra is a breaker of malicious minds;Let such a mind perish of itself when it approaches us, hurled away like a dry branch that bears no fruit.

1.129.9 Come to us with ample wealth, Indra, along unhindered, demon-free paths;Stand with us far away and near home; always protect us from afar and close at hand with your aid.

1.129.10 Bring us victorious wealth, Indra; though fierce, let your greatness come as a great friend's help;Strongest guardian, immortal protector, turn some other man away from us, mace-bearer, anyone who would harm us.

1.129.11 Protect us, well-praised Indra, from the plots and ever-hostile thoughts of the wicked;God who strikes the evil demon and guards the poet, your father made you a demon-slayer, generous one.

Hymn 1.130 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Atyashti, verse 10 Trishtubh.

1.130.1 Come to us, Indra, from afar, as a true lord to councils, a true king to his house;We call you as the soma is pressed, bringing offerings, as sons call a father to win prizes, the most generous father.

1.130.2 Drink the soma pressed by stones, Indra, poured from the bowl like water from a well for a thirsty bull;For delight and your most powerful refreshment, let your bay horses bear you here like Surya, the sun before all.

1.130.3 He found heaven's hidden treasure, like a bird's embryo sealed in endless stone;The mace-bearer, foremost Angirasa, seeking the cows' enclosure, Indra opened the shut gates of nourishment.

1.130.4 Clasping his mace, Indra sharpened its edge like a blade to strike the serpent;Wrapping himself in force and power, Indra, you fell the wooded tree like a carpenter with an axe.

1.130.5 You released the rivers, Indra, to run freely to the sea like chariots racing for prizes;They set out from here, all bound for a single unfailing goal, milking bounty for Manu's people like cows.

1.130.6 Desiring wealth, the sons of Ayu fashioned this word for your favor, as a skilled maker shapes a chariot;Adorning you, inspired one, as a champion among prizes, like a steed prepared to win all wealth.

1.130.7 For generous Puru's son Divodasa you broke ninety forts with your mace, Indra, dancer of war;For Atithigva you cast Shambara down from the mountain, dividing all his great riches by your might.

1.130.8 In every clash, in every sun-winning battle, hundred-helped Indra saved the Arya worshiper;For Manu he subdued the lawless, the dark-skinned foe, burning the starving one like fire consuming dry wood.

1.130.9 The hero tore off the wheel with his inborn strength; at day's end Aruna stole the word, eager to seize it;When wise Ushanas came from far away to help, all blessings came, like man's champion over every day.

1.130.10 Protector who does mighty deeds, with new hymns and strong guardians shield us;Praised among the Divodasas, Indra, grow as heaven grows with the days.

Hymn 1.131 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Atyashti.

1.131.1 For Indra heaven bent low, for Indra the broad earth spread wide to win splendor;All the gods together placed Indra at their head: let every human soma-pressing be offered to Indra.

1.131.2 At every pressing they stir you, the same sole bull, though each seeks the sun separately;We place you like a ferryboat at the yoke of strength; the sons of Ayu honor Indra with sacrifice and song.

1.131.3 The pair seeking help pressed you, Indra, to release the cattle from their stall;When you bring together two peoples seeking cows and sun, reveal your strong, allied mace, Indra.

1.131.4 The Purus know your prowess, when you shattered the autumn forts with overwhelming power, Indra;You punished the godless mortal, lord of strength, and took the great earth and these waters in your joy.

1.131.5 Then men sang your prowess in delight, bull, when you aided the Ushijes seeking friendship;You cleared a way for them through battles, and they won river after river in pursuit of fame.

1.131.6 Now accept this dawn and take notice of the hymn and oblation offered in our quest for light;When you intend to strike the enemies, Indra, bull, mace-bearer, hear this newest work of my inspired mind.

1.131.7 With growing power, Indra, hero born in strength, strike with your mace the mortal who treats us as enemies;Strike anyone who plots us harm, you who hear so well; let every evil thought depart our journey.

Hymn 1.132 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra (first half of verse 6: Indra and Parvata). Meter: Atyashti.

1.132.1 With your protection, generous Indra, may we conquer in the ancient contest and overcome our attackers;Speak today for the presser, near at hand; in this sacrifice let us choose victory in battle for the prize.

1.132.2 At the word of the dawn-awakened, striding to win sunlight on his straight path,Indra struck head after head as was fitting; may your lovely gifts come together to us, giver of blessings.

1.132.3 That bright ancient delight of yours, in the sacrifice where they made a shelter within Truth's dwelling,Proclaim it again; inside they see by the rays; Indra the cattle-seeker knows the way for his kinsmen.

1.132.4 Tell now as of old what deserves telling: how you opened the pen for the Angirases and gave its cattle, Indra;Grant us the same, win and fight for us; bring any lawless, angry enemy under the soma-pressers' power.

1.132.5 When you, hero, watch over men with your counsels, seekers of glory triumph in the struggle for wealth;To you, Indra, they sing for life and offspring in adversity; their thoughts find a home with you, as with the gods.

1.132.6 Indra and Parvata, strike down with your mace any who battles us, each foremost warrior;Even at a distance let him fall into a deep pit; hero, break our enemies on every side.

Hymn 1.133 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 2–4 Anushtubh, verse 5 Gayatri, verse 6 Dhriti, verse 7 Ashti.

1.133.1 I purify both heaven and earth with Truth and burn the great godless deceivers;Where our enemies lay slain, I destroy their haunted resting place utterly.

1.133.2 Even the heads of the sorceresses as they swoop, mace-bearer,Cut off with your great crushing foot, your mighty foot.

1.133.3 Strike down their hosts, generous one, the sorceresses,At the little ruin and the great haunted ruin.

1.133.4 Their thrice fifty you scattered with sweeping strokes;That deed is surely yours to remember, yours to remember.

1.133.5 Crush the tawny-haired, piercing fiend, Indra;Sweep every demon away.

1.133.6 Break open the vastness, Indra, and hear us; heaven glows, earth quakes with fear, mace-bearer;Most powerful with mighty weapons, you go forth, unconquered hero, not killing men, with three times seven allies.

1.133.7 The presser wins a flourishing home, for by pressing and sacrificing he drives off the gods' enemies;The presser seeks a thousand unfailing prizes, and Indra gives the presser present wealth.

1.134.2 Let these exhilarating drops gladden you, Vayu, well made by us, bright with the milk, striving toward heaven;When they are prepared to rouse strength, your allies come united, the teams answer our offering and thoughts.

1.134.3 Vayu yokes the ruddy horses, Vayu the red, Vayu the swift steeds to his chariot's foremost yoke;Wake generous Thought like a lover waking his sleeping beloved; reveal heaven and earth, illumine the dawns for fame.

1.134.4 For you the pure dawns from afar spread lovely garments on their shining, ever-new rays;For you the ever-milking cow yields every treasure, and you brought forth the Maruts from the riverbeds of heaven.

1.134.5 For you the bright, pure, swift ones fiercely seek the waters in their rapture;The longing singer praises you as Bhaga in battle; by your ordinance you shield us from every world and from Surya.

1.134.6 You, Vayu, are worthy to drink first of these fresh-pressed somas of ours;Among the clans that summon you and have chosen you, all your cows yield the rich milk-mixture and butter.

1.135.2 This soma, pressed with stones, purified for you, flows beautifully clothed around the vessel, shining as it flows;This soma is your share among the sons of Ayu, offered among the gods; bring your teams, Vayu, come to us gladly.

1.135.3 Come with teams in hundreds and thousands to feast on our sacrifice and offerings, Vayu;This proper share, radiating with light, accompanies Surya: brought by the priests, the bright drops await you.

1.135.4 Let your team-drawn chariot carry you to the prepared foods for our help and feast, Indra and Vayu;Drink the sweet juice, whose first draft is yours; come with glittering bounty, Vayu and Indra.

1.135.5 Our thoughts turn to you at the rites; they cleanse this swift racing drop like a prize horse;Drink these for our sake, come here to help us, Indra and Vayu, to rejoice in what the stones have pressed.

1.135.6 These somas pressed here in the waters were brought by priests, shining for you, Vayu;These swift drops were sent through the filter, eager for you, through the woolen fleece.

1.135.7 Pass those who sleep, Vayu, and come where the pressing stone speaks; go there with Indra;Kind speech shines forth, butter flows; with your full teams go to the sacrifice, both of you.

1.135.8 Here you carry the honeyed oblation for which victors stand by the ashvattha tree; let those victors be ours;Together the cows bring forth and the barley ripens; your milking cows, Vayu, never fail or dwindle.

1.135.9 These strong-armed bulls of yours, Vayu, race within the rivers, great bulls growing in power;Even over wasteland and rocky mountains they are tireless and swift, hard to restrain as Surya's rays in your hands.

1.136.2 A broad path has appeared for the journey, the path of Truth, meeting with Bhaga's eye and rays;Mitra's shining seat, and Aryaman's and Varuna's: there they establish great praiseworthy life and splendor.

1.136.3 Day after day they sustain Aditi, dwelling in light, and the sunlit earth, vigilant each day;The Adityas, lords of bounty, possess radiant dominion; Mitra, Varuna, and Aryaman guide mankind.

1.136.4 This most pleasant soma, Mitra and Varuna, has gained its share among the drinking gods;Let all the gods gladly accept it today; grant what we ask, kings who keep Truth.

1.136.5 The man who honors Mitra and Varuna, a mortal giver, you shelter from distress;Aryaman protects the man who walks straight by the ordinance, who adorns your ordinance with hymns and songs.

1.136.6 I speak reverence to great Heaven and both worlds, to generous, merciful Mitra and Varuna;Praise Indra and Agni, radiant Aryaman and Bhaga; may we live long with children through Soma's help.

1.136.7 With Indra and the glorious Maruts may we possess the gods' help;May Agni, Mitra, and Varuna grant shelter; may the generous and we ourselves attain it.

Hymn 1.137 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Atishakvari.

1.137.2 Come to these drops, somas blended with curds, pressed and waiting;Awake with the dawn and Surya's rays: this lovely offering was pressed for Mitra and Varuna to drink in Truth.

1.137.3 They milk this shoot as if it were a cow, with the stones they milk the soma;Come near to us both to drink: this soma, Mitra and Varuna, men have pressed for you to drink.

1.138.2 As if clearing your quick path, Pushan, with songs I call you to crush resistance like a camel;A mortal calls you, joy-bringing god, for friendship; give our praises splendor among prizes.

1.138.3 Those wise in your friendship, Pushan, found delight in your help through their purpose;Following them we seek your newer team and wealth; far-famed one, never angry, be our ally in every contest.

1.139.2 Mitra and Varuna, when by your own anger you distinguished falsehood from Truth, by your own skill,We beheld your golden presence in your dwellings, with our minds, our thoughts, our very eyes that look on soma.

1.139.3 The god-loving sons of Ayu make you hear their hymn with songs and oblations, Ashvins;On you rest all splendors and all nourishment, all-knowing ones, glittering on the golden rims of your chariot.

1.139.4 Your wonder is revealed; you open heaven, healers, and your chariot-horses are harnessed for journeys above;Let us stand on your golden chariot's seat, wondrous ones, guiding the air on the straight path as travelers guide the road.

1.139.5 With your powers, rich in power, help us by day and by night;Let your gifts to us never fail, nor ours to you, ever.

1.139.6 Indra the bull, these bull-giving drops are pressed by stones for you, bursting with strength;Let them thrill you to give great, splendid wealth; come, praised by songs, kindly come to us.

1.139.7 Hear us, Agni, when praised; speak to the gods, the royal ones worthy of sacrifice;The gods gave that cow to the Angirases, and Aryaman milked her with a cutter; I know her well.

1.139.8 Let your ancient heroic might and splendor never age away from us, Maruts;In every age reveal your wondrous, deathless glory and establish among us what none can overcome.

1.139.9 Dadhyanch knows my lineage, as did the ancient Angirasa, Priyamedha, Kanva, Atri, and Manu;Their way leads to the gods; our kinship is with them; in their footsteps I bow to Indra and Agni with mighty song.

1.139.10 Let the priest sacrifice; let forest dwellers choose the desired gift; Brihaspati worships with bulls of many kinds;We have seized the far-reaching call, the pressing stone's song; the wise one has upheld many dwellings against foes.

1.139.11 You gods who are eleven in heaven and eleven on earth,And eleven dwelling in waters by your greatness: gods, accept this sacrifice.

Hymn 1.140 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati (verses 10, 12–13 Trishtubh).

1.140.1 For Agni on the altar, dear in his home and shining bright, I bring his birthplace like nourishing food;With thought clothe the pure, light-charioted, brilliant-colored slayer of dark as with a garment.

1.140.2 Twice-born, thrice-fed, he cleanses his food, growing through the year and consuming it again;The victorious bull licks one thing with his tongue, and the forest bull grazes another.

1.140.3 His two companions tremble on the dark path, both mothers cross over to their child,His tongue stretched forward, destroying, quick to move, a swelling child near his father's side.

1.140.4 Quick-running, dark-tracked steeds long to escape for the human who desires men;Unequal, swift and bounding, urged by the wind, these eager ones are yoked.

1.140.5 Then they race free and cast down the vast dark shape, making a mighty form;When he touches the great earth, he comes breathing and thundering, roaring aloud.

1.140.6 Like a lover bowing over brown maidens, like a bull he roars toward his wives;His body swells with force, and the terrible one brandishes his horns, hard to grasp.

1.140.7 He gathers them all, knowing them as they know him, lying always in their embrace;They grow again and return to the divine, changing their forms together with their parents.

1.140.8 The young long-haired maidens sang together and stood upright, dying and born again for life;He goes roaring, freeing them from age and bringing forth a life beyond, untouched by death.

1.140.9 Licking the garment around his mother, he advances with fierce champions, spreading wide;Giving wings to what has feet, ever licking, he follows the falcon's track.

1.140.10 Shine among our generous people, Agni; breathe as the bull who guards the house;Light up the mothers with their young, encompassing them like armor in battle.

1.140.11 Agni, may this good thought please you better than an ill-considered one, better even than a cherished thought;With your pure brightness shining from your body, win us treasure.

1.140.12 Give us a boat for the chariot and for our house, Agni, with lasting oars and feet;Let it bear our warriors and generous people across, bringing them to shelter.

1.140.13 May heaven and earth, and the rivers, praise our hymn to Agni with one voice;Seeking cattle, barley, and long-lasting food, may the ruddy ones choose the best.

Hymn 1.141 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati, verses 12–13 Trishtubh.

1.141.1 Yes, that visible splendor of the god was set forth in its beauty, born of strength;When thought turned toward him and strove, the flowing milk-cows of Truth led him forth.

1.141.2 His first form, nourishing and full of food, rests forever; his second dwells in seven gracious mothers;For the third, the bull's milking, the women bring forth the ten-guided one.

1.141.3 When lords by their strength raised him from the depths of the mighty bull's body,Matarishvan rubbed forth the hidden one at the ancient stirring of honey.

1.141.4 When he is brought round from the supreme father, he grows through fruitful plants and vines;Both births stir him, and then, pure and shining, he became the brightest.

1.141.5 Then pure, unharmed, he entered the mothers and grew wide within them;Climbing the ancient, ever-moving ones, he rushes down among the newer and lower.

1.141.6 Then they choose him priest for heavenly journeys, adorning him as they would Bhaga;When the much-praised one by his power goes among gods and mortals alike, bearing praise and food.

1.141.7 When the wind-driven worshipful one stood apart, crooked as a snake, unformed by age,His flight, with keen black feet and a pure birth, spread over the air and paths.

1.141.8 Like a chariot shaped by craftsmen, he moves heavenward with shining ruddy limbs;At his flashing, his blackened branches flee in fear as from a hero.

1.141.9 Through you, Agni, Varuna keeps his ordinance, and Mitra and generous Aryaman rejoice;As the all-pervading one you were born to encircle everything with purpose, like a wheel's rim.

1.141.10 Agni, youngest one, you further the godly treasure of the soma-presser who worships;Now we fashion you anew, son of strength, like Bhaga at his work, rich in jewels.

1.141.11 For us you join wealth, favorable and at home, with Bhaga's sustaining skill;Wise in Truth, you master both births as one reins in rays, and bring the gods' praise.

1.141.12 May our bright, swift-horsed, joyful priest with his gleaming chariot hear us;May Agni, unerring guide, lead us to lovely, better fortune.

1.141.13 Agni has been praised with fervent songs, establishing his dominion afar;May these generous men and we burst through the rain like Surya.

1.142.4 Praised Agni, bring dear, splendid Indra here;My thought, fair-tongued one, speaks to you in welcome.

1.142.5 As we spread the ritual grass for the pure sacrifice, ladles held forward,I open the widest divine refuge for Indra's shelter.

1.142.6 Let the great divine doors swing wide for the gods' approach, increasing Truth,Pure and much desired, never failing.

1.142.7 Draw near in splendor, beautifully adorned, Night and Dawn;Mighty mothers of Truth, sit joyfully upon the ritual grass.

1.142.8 Divine priests, poets with sweet tongues and song-filled voices,Offer this swift, heaven-reaching sacrifice of ours today.

1.142.9 Bharati, pure among the gods, honored as priestess with the Maruts;Ila, Sarasvati, and Mahi, worthy of sacrifice, sit upon the grass.

1.142.10 May Tvashtar himself spread forth this marvelous, manifold giftFor our growth and wealth, its center bound to us.

1.142.11 Letting loose your own power, Lord of the Forest, worship the gods;Wise divine Agni brings the oblations among the gods to readiness.

1.142.12 For Pushan, for the Maruts, for Vayu with all the gods,Make the oblation with “svaha” for Indra of the trembling song.

1.142.13 Come to our offerings, blessed with “svaha,” to enjoy the feast;Come, Indra, hear the call: they summon you to the sacrifice.

Hymn 1.143 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati, verse 8 Trishtubh.

1.143.1 I bring Agni a powerful new thought, a word and song for the son of strength,Child of Waters, beloved of the Vasus, the priest who sat upon earth at the appointed hour.

1.143.2 At his birth in highest heaven, Agni appeared to Matarishvan;By his design and kindled strength, his flame lit heaven and earth.

1.143.3 His keen immortal rays are beautiful to see, bright on his lovely face;Agni's tireless flames shimmer like rivers across the dark, forever awake.

1.143.4 The Bhrigus stirred up the all-knowing one by their strength at the world's earthly navel;Urge that Agni on with songs at home, the one who reigns alone over wealth like Varuna.

1.143.5 His roar is like the Maruts, like a host sent forth, like lightning from heaven;Agni devours and chews with sharp jaws and clears the forests like a warrior conquering foes.

1.143.6 Will Agni grant wealth and heroes to the son of Ucatha? Will he fulfill our desire with the Vasus?Will he drive our thoughts forward to victory? I praise his pure face with this thought.

1.143.7 At kindling they adorn butter-faced Agni, who bears Truth's burden, as they do a friend;Kindled in the gatherings, glowing bright, he lifts up our shining thought.

1.143.8 Never neglecting us, Agni, shield us with your never-failing, gracious guardians;With unfailing, untiring, wakeful protectors defend our offspring on every side.

Hymn 1.144 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati.

1.144.1 The priest approaches his ordinance by his wonders, lifting upright a pure and beautiful thought;He circles the ladles sunwise, which touch his first dwelling.

1.144.2 Truth's milk-givers sang to him, surrounding him in the god's birthplace;He dwelt in the waters' lap and took in the nourishment by which he moves.

1.144.3 Two of equal age, wishing to join, share the same form and seek one purpose together;Then like Bhaga called to the feast, the charioteer brings reins together for the bearer.

1.144.4 Two companions of one age attend him, twins sharing one home and birthplace;By day and by night the gray one was born young, ageless through many human generations.

1.144.5 Ten fingers impel him with their thoughts; we mortals call the god for help;He flows from the bow down the slope, putting on new forms as he advances.

1.144.6 You rule the heavens, Agni, and earth too, like a guardian of cattle;These two immense, shining ones of yours, golden and eloquent, take their places on the ritual grass.

1.144.7 Welcome that word, Agni, take delight in it, joyous, self-sustaining one, born of Truth, wise one;You are beautiful facing us from every side, lovely to see, like a nourishing home.

1.145.1 Ask him: he has arrived and he knows; knowing, he moves forward, and she follows;In him are commands and longings: he is lord of the prize, of strength and power.

1.145.2 They ask him, but not all question him, when the wise man has grasped him with his own mind;He refuses neither the first nor the later word: unfailing, he follows the purpose of his plan.

1.145.3 The ladles go to him, and the mares; may he alone hear all my words;With many charges, swift, accomplishing sacrifice, the tireless child takes hold with force.

1.145.4 He moves in the lap when united with his fellows; newborn, he runs swiftly with his companions;For joy he touches the panting one when the eager women come to him established on high.

1.145.5 This forest-roaming beast was set down close beneath the skin of the nearer mother;Knowing Truth, true Agni has revealed his ways to mortals.

Hymn 1.146 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.146.1 I praise three-headed, seven-rayed, perfect Agni in his parents' lap,Seated in the fixed and moving world, filling all heaven's shining expanses.

1.146.2 The great bull has grown among them; deathless and lofty, he stands with help from here;On the wide summit he sets his feet; his ruddy ones lick his udder.

1.146.3 Two gentle cows wander separately around the same calf,Measuring a path that none can shut and carrying every beacon of the great one.

1.146.4 Thoughtful poets lead to his place, guarding the ageless one with different hearts;Seeking to win, they gazed across the river; Surya was revealed to the men.

1.146.5 Beautiful to see, victorious on every boundary, he deserves praise to give the great and small their life;The generous one appears everywhere to these children, visible to all like Surya.

Hymn 1.147 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.147.1 How, Agni, have the sons of Ayu, growing pure, brought you gifts as they sought prizes,When the gods placed you among children and their children and rejoiced in Truth's harmony?

1.147.2 Take notice of this my word, youngest one, generous, self-possessed one, offered with all my heart;One reviles you and one praises you: as your devoted worshiper I worship your form, Agni.

1.147.3 Your watchmen who protected Mamateya, blind though they saw him, from evil, Agni,Those doers of good Jatavedas protected; hostile enemies could not deceive them.

1.147.4 Whoever plots us harm, Agni, ungenerous and evil, tormenting us with double speech,May this weighty spell turn on him; may his harsh words strike his own body.

1.147.5 Or if some mortal, knowingly, son of strength, torments another mortal with double speech,Protect your praising singer from him, Agni; do not let anyone abandon us to evil.

1.148.1 When summoned Matarishvan rubbed out the priest, who rules all waters and belongs to all gods,And placed him among human tribes, bright like Surya and splendid in his form.

1.148.2 Let those who give not despise my prayer; I choose Agni's shelter;Let all his deeds find favor with the singer bringing him praise.

1.148.3 Even in his lasting dwelling they grasped him; the sacrificers established him with hymns;They lead him forward to the rite, holding him as horses eager for a chariot.

1.148.4 With his jaws the wondrous one shatters many things, blazing through the wood;Then wind follows his flame day by day like an arrow shot by an archer.

1.148.5 While he lies in the womb, no enemy or assailant can harm him;The blind, unable to see, could not deceive him; his enduring protectors kept him safe.

Hymn 1.149 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Viraj.

1.149.1 The great lord seeks riches, master of food and wealth, approaching their place;As he surges onward the stones split before him.

1.149.3 He lights a fortress like a storming army, swift and wise as a racing steed;A hundredfold in power, he shines like Surya.

1.149.4 Twice-born he has risen glowing across all three realms of light and all the skies,The priest most worthy of worship in the waters' gathering place.

1.149.5 This is that twice-born priest who grants all cherished, glorious giftsTo the mortal who willingly gives to him.

1.151.1 Seekers of cattle, wise in council, brought forth Mitra among the cows and waters through their work;Heaven and earth shook at his powerful song, receiving the beloved god at birth.

1.151.2 When the companions of Purumilha the soma-presser laid that offering before you, Mitra and Varuna,You found purpose and praised the path: hear the householder, mighty ones.

1.151.3 The peoples adorn your birth between heaven and earth, a mighty wonder to be proclaimed;When you bring offerings for Truth and the steed, you move through the rite with sacrifice and work.

1.151.4 Great is your dear divine domain: guardians of Truth, you proclaim lofty Truth;You yoke the great heaven's living power to your work as a cow to its yoke.

1.151.5 With greatness here you open a vast refuge; the dustless, rushing cows return to their dwelling;They low at Surya's setting, at the fading light, as the dawns call the running hero.

1.151.6 For Truth the long-haired ones sing to you, Mitra and Varuna, where you praise the path;Release the streams by your power and swell our thoughts; you two are anointed with the poet's song.

1.151.7 To the man who serves you with sacrifices, the wise priest who honors you with a hymn,You come and take part in his rite; come to our songs with kindly thoughts.

1.151.8 With sacrifice they first anoint you with milk, guardians of Truth, swift as thoughts in the mind;Disciplined hymns carry you their prayer; with unswerving minds you win riches.

1.151.9 You establish rich life and win great treasure, heroes, by your wonders and mighty help;Neither heaven by its days, nor rivers, nor Panis by their wealth, can attain your divinity.

Hymn 1.152 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.152.1 You clothe yourselves in ample garments; your designs stream forth without a break;You have crossed beyond every falsehood; with Truth you join yourselves, Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.2 Who among them understands even this? The true prayer is spoken by a wise, righteous man;The strong four-cornered one strikes the three-cornered, and the slanderers of the gods are first to perish.

1.152.3 Footless, she goes first among the footed: who understands this of yours, Mitra and Varuna?Though pregnant she bears her burden; she nourishes Truth and sinks falsehood.

1.152.4 We see the lover going around the maidens, never stopping among them,Clothed in an unbroken spread, the beloved dwelling of Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.5 Born horseless and without reins, the steed cries out and flies high above the ridge;The young ones, praising Mitra's and Varuna's dwelling, welcome the unthinking prayer.

1.152.6 Let the protecting cows fill Mamateya, lover of prayers, at their udder;Knowing the ways, may he beg for food and guard Aditi as one who seeks her favor.

1.152.7 With reverence I seek your aid and acceptance of the offering, Mitra and Varuna;May our prayer triumph in battles and our heavenly rain be easy to cross.

Hymn 1.153 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.153.1 With accord we worship your greatness, Mitra and Varuna, with offerings and reverence;With butter and streams of butter the priests bear you what our thoughts have made.

1.153.2 I bring you praise, Mitra and Varuna, as your abiding place and the means of your approach;When the priest anoints you in councils, the patron seeks your favor, mighty ones.

1.153.3 Aditi the cow has swelled for Truth and for the offering people, Mitra and Varuna;When a man honoring you at council urges his gift forward, like a human priest.

1.153.4 The intoxicating juice among the clans, and cows and divine waters, swell for you;Let the ancient lord give us a share: drink the milk of the shining cow.

Hymn 1.154 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.154.1 Now I will proclaim Vishnu's mighty deeds: he measured out the earthly realmsAnd propped up the upper dwelling, he of the wide stride taking his three great steps.

1.154.2 For this Vishnu is praised for his might, terrible as a beast roaming the mountains;Within his three far-reaching strides every living world has its dwelling.

1.154.3 Let my strong song go forth to Vishnu, mountain-dwelling bull of the wide stride,Who alone measured out this vast and stretching dwelling with just three steps.

1.154.4 His three footsteps, filled with honey, delight by their own power, never fading;He alone upholds earth, heaven, and all living worlds in their threefold order.

1.154.5 May I reach his beloved path where god-loving men rejoice;For there, in the highest step of wide-striding Vishnu, is the spring of honey.

1.154.6 We long to reach your dwellings where many-horned cattle wander;There the highest step of the wide-striding bull shines forth abundantly.

Hymn 1.155 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Vishnu (verses 1–3: Indra and Vishnu). Meter: Jagati.

1.155.1 Pour the drink and raise your inspired praise to great heroic Vishnu;The two, invincible at the mountain peaks, stood firm like noble steeds.

1.155.2 Indra and Vishnu, soma-drinkers, your fierce union protects the deeds of men;For mortals you guard the flame from the archer's falling arrow.

1.155.3 The two strengthen the greatness of his manhood; the mother guides the seed to its enjoyment;The son holds both his father's lower and higher names, and a third in heaven's light.

1.155.4 We praise each deed of this lord, guardian, gentle and generous,Who with three mighty strides traversed earthly realms to give life to the wide world.

1.155.5 The mortal who sees the sun marvels at two of his steps;His third no one has ever reached, not even winged birds in flight.

1.155.6 With four times ninety names he set the turning wheel rolling as a circle;Vast in body and measured out in songs, forever young he comes to the call.

Hymn 1.156 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Jagati.

1.156.1 Be kind as Mitra, rich in libations, resplendent, advancing and broad;Then even the wise one's hymn and the offerer's sacrifice, Vishnu, shall be worthy of you.

1.156.2 Whoever gives to Vishnu, ancient maker ever new, born in light,Who speaks of the greatness of this mighty one's birth, wins fitting fame and fellowship.

1.156.3 Singers, sustain him, ancient embryo of Truth, as you know how;Knowing his name, proclaim it: great Vishnu, we share your favor.

1.156.4 King Varuna and the Ashvins attend the purpose of this maker of the Maruts;Vishnu has maintained supreme wisdom, knowing the day, and as a friend opens the cattle's pen.

1.156.5 Vishnu, whose deeds are fairest, has joined divine companionship with good-working Indra;The maker stirred the Arya in the triple seat and gave the sacrificer a share of Truth.

Hymn 1.157 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati, verses 5–6 Trishtubh.

1.157.1 Agni has awakened on earth, Surya rises, and great glowing Dawn shines with her light;The Ashvins yoked their chariot for travel; Savitar set each living thing in motion.

1.157.2 When you yoke your mighty chariot, Ashvins, moisten our realm with butter and honey;Speed our prayer through battles, so that we may gain wealth in the heroes' contest.

1.157.3 Come near, praised Ashvins, in your three-wheeled, honey-bearing chariot with swift horses;Three-seated, generous, bringing every blessing, let it bear peace to two-footed and four-footed creatures.

1.157.4 Bring nourishment to us, Ashvins, and sprinkle us with your honeyed whip;Prolong our life, wipe off disease, drive away hatred, be our allies.

1.157.5 You have set the embryo within all creatures, within every living world;You two, Ashvins, stir Agni and the waters and the forest trees to life.

1.157.6 You are healers with remedies and charioteers with chariots;You mighty ones grant dominion to the man who offers with devoted mind.

Hymn 1.158 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh, verse 6 Anushtubh.

1.158.1 Vasus and Rudras, abundant in thought and growth, grant us your favor in our need, mighty ones;Wondrous ones, when you stretched out with unerring help for the son of Ucatha, what riches you bestowed!

1.158.2 Who will give to you to win your favor, Vasus, when you stand with reverence in the cow's footsteps?Awaken rich thoughts in us, moving with a mind filled with desire.

1.158.3 When your vessel was yoked for Tugra's son and Pajra was set amid the sea,May I reach your protection and refuge, as the hero flies through the race on swift wings.

1.158.4 May praise protect the son of Ucatha; let not these two flying creatures drain me;Let not this fire lit with ten logs burn me while, bound fast, it devours the earth before you.

1.158.5 May the most motherly rivers not drown me, when the slaves threw me bound tightly into them;When Traitana hacked at his head, the slave wounded his own chest and shoulders.

1.158.6 Dirghatamas, son of Mamata, grown old in his tenth generation,Became a priest and charioteer for the onward-moving waters.

Hymn 1.159 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deities: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Jagati.

1.159.1 At councils I praise mighty Heaven and Earth with sacrifices, nourishers of Truth, full of wisdom;Divine parents of gods, wondrous workers, they fashion precious gifts with thought.

1.159.2 With offerings I ponder our guileless father's mind and our mother's great native strength;Rich in seed, these parents made us a vast, deathless expanse for their offspring.

1.159.3 Their skillful, marvelous children were born to great mother Earth in the first act of thought;By their true law for what stands and moves they guarded the place of the innocent son.

1.159.4 The wise pair, masters of wonders, measured out as twins one birthplace and one dwelling;The insightful poets stretch ever newer threads within the heavenly sea.

1.159.5 Today we seek that choice gift of Savitar, sent forth by the god;Heaven and Earth, in your wisdom grant us wealthy riches, a hundred cows.

Hymn 1.160 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deities: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Jagati.

1.160.1 Heaven and Earth bring good to all; they keep Truth and sustain the skies with wisdom;Between these two well-born, thoughtful ones, pure Surya moves, god amid goddesses, by his law.

1.160.2 Wide-spreading, great, unwearying father and mother protect the living worlds;Strong and beautiful are both realms, whom the father clothed in his forms.

1.160.3 The son of the two parents, bright with purifying power, cleanses worlds with his wisdom;Every day they milk the shining milk of this dappled cow and fertile bull.

1.160.4 This one is the most active of the active gods, who gave birth to heaven and earth, blessings to all;With wise purpose he measured both realms and matched them with ageless pillars.

1.160.5 Heaven and Earth, grant us your singers great fame and high dominion;With it may we spread among the peoples; bring into us your praiseworthy force.

Hymn 1.161 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Ribhus. Meter: Jagati, verse 14 Trishtubh.

1.161.1 “Who came to us, the eldest or the youngest? What is the message, and when did we speak it?We do not slight the cup of that great house, brother Agni; we spoke only of the wooden vessel's form.”

1.161.2 “Make four cups out of one”: this is what the gods said and what has reached you.“Sons of Sudhanvan, if you accomplish it, you shall share sacrifice with the gods.”

1.161.3 You answered Agni the messenger: “A horse must be made, and here a chariot too;A cow must be made and two must be made young again, brother: we shall do those things for you.”

1.161.4 Having done it, the Ribhus asked: “Where is the messenger who came to us?”When he reported that the cups had been made four, Tvashtar hid himself among the women.

1.161.5 “Let us kill them,” said Tvashtar, “for they have disparaged the gods' drinking cup.”They took other names at the soma pressing, and by new names a maiden greeted them.

1.161.6 Indra yoked his bay horses, the Ashvins their chariot, Brihaspati brought the cow of many forms;Ribhu, Vibhu, and Vaja came to the gods: skillful workers, claim your sacrificial portion.

1.161.7 You freed the cow from her hide with your thoughts and made the two aged parents young;Sons of Sudhanvan, you fashioned a horse from a horse and came to the gods with your chariot yoked.

1.161.8 “This water, drink it,” they said; “or drink this purification made from munja grass.”Sons of Sudhanvan, if neither pleases you, rejoice at the third soma-pressing.

1.161.9 “Water is greatest,” one declared; “Agni is greatest,” another;The third spoke of the axe for many: speaking truths, they ornamented the cups.

1.161.10 One fetches a lame cow and water; one shapes the meat brought on the spit;One carries off dung at sunset: how did the parents aid their sons?

1.161.11 On high ground you made grass for him; in low places, water, heroes, by your skill;When you were in Agohya's house, Ribhus, you could not go from there today.

1.161.12 When you closed your eyes and roamed the worlds, where were your parents then?Whoever grasped your arm cursed; tell that to the man who spoke out.

1.161.13 Awaking from sleep, the Ribhus asked: “Agohya, who woke us?”“The goat called the dog your waker; today the year has fully appeared.”

1.161.14 The Maruts journey through heaven by day, Agni travels the earth, wind the midair;Varuna moves with the waters through the seas, seeking you, children of strength.

Hymn 1.162 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Horse. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 3 and 6 Jagati.

1.162.1 Let not Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman, Ayu, Indra, the Ribhus, or the Maruts find faultAs in assembly we proclaim the mighty deeds of the god-born steed, the prize-winning horse.

1.162.2 When they lead the gift forward, draped in adornment and treasure,The dappled goat, led rightly, bleating, goes to the feast beloved of Indra and Pushan.

1.162.3 This goat, Pushan's share, is led in front of the prize-winning horse, sacred to all the gods;As it goes before the beloved cake and horse, Tvashtar urges it toward noble fame.

1.162.4 When people lead the sacrificial horse around three times at the proper season on the gods' path,Here Pushan's share goes first, the goat announcing the sacrifice to the gods.

1.162.5 Priest, officiant, fire-kindler, holder of the pressing stone, and eloquent chanter:By this well-made, fitting sacrifice fill the streams to overflowing.

1.162.6 Those who fell the posts, who carry them, who shape the cap for the horse's post,And those who bring together what cooks the horse: let their praise strengthen us too.

1.162.7 He came willingly; my hymn was laid in the gods' presence, his back covered;The wise seers rejoice after him; we have made him a true ally at the gods' feast.

1.162.8 The prize horse's tether, the steed's binding cords, its head-halter and rope,And the grass brought to its mouth: may all these too be among your offerings to the gods.

1.162.9 Whatever of the horse's raw flesh a fly has eaten, or whatever clings to post and knife,Whatever sticks to the slaughterer's hands and nails: may all these too be among your offerings to the gods.

1.162.10 What escapes from the belly when cut, the smell of uncooked flesh,Let the skilled slaughterers prepare it and cook the offering until it is well done.

1.162.11 Whatever runs from your limbs as you cook upon the spit,Let none fall on earth or grass: let it be given to the gods who desire it.

1.162.12 Those who watch the cooked horse and those who say, “It smells good; bring it out,”And those waiting to ask for horse meat: let their praise strengthen us too.

1.162.13 The fork of the meat-cooking pot, the vessels to receive its broth,The steam-lids of cooking pots, the hooks and knives that adorn the horse:

1.162.14 The horse's steps, its place of rest, its turning, its fetter,What it drank and the grass it ate: may all these too be among your offerings to the gods.

1.162.15 Let not the smoky fire vex you, nor the glowing pot burst and spill on you;The gods receive the horse, offered and enjoyed, praised and consecrated with the cry “vashat.”

1.162.16 The cloth spread beneath the horse, its covering and golden ornaments,The steed's fetter and foot-shackle, beloved of the gods, accompany it to them.

1.162.17 Whatever pain the saddle pressed on you or the heel or the whip inflicted,With prayer I make it good for you, as oblation is made ready with the ladle at sacrifice.

1.162.18 The knife cuts through the thirty-four ribs of the horse, the gods' companion;Keep its limbs unbroken and carve joint from joint in the proper way.

1.162.19 There is one carver of Tvashtar's horse and two handlers, as the rite ordains;What I prepare of your limbs in season, of these pieces I make an offering in fire.

1.162.20 Let not the fire torment your beloved departing soul, nor the knife lodge in your body;Let no greedy, unskilled carver mutilate your limbs with a blade.

1.162.21 You do not die; no harm befalls you: you go to the gods along the easy paths;Indra's bay pair and the dappled mares are your yokemates; the horse stands at the donkey's yoke.

1.162.22 Let the horse win us good cattle and horses, sons and wealth that nourishes all;Let Aditi make us innocent, and the offered horse win us dominion.

Hymn 1.163 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Horse. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.163.1 When you first cried out at birth, rising from the sea or from the waters,With a falcon's wings and deer's forelegs, horse, yours was a great birth worthy of praise.

1.163.2 Yama gave him, Trita harnessed him, Indra was first to mount him;The Gandharva held his reins; the Vasus fashioned the horse out of Surya.

1.163.3 You are Yama, horse, you are Aditya, and by secret ordinance you are Trita;You are joined to Soma: they say you have three bonds in heaven.

1.163.4 Three bonds, they say, are yours in heaven, three in the waters, three within the sea;Varuna himself tells me, horse, where they say your highest birthplace lies.

1.163.5 These are your cleansing places, champion, these the sites where your hoofs were won;Here I saw your gracious bridles, guarded by keepers of Truth.

1.163.6 From afar I recognize your spirit with my mind, the flying bird gliding beneath heaven;I saw your head flying along easy, dustless paths, winged one.

1.163.7 Here I saw your finest form, eager to win food at the cow's footprint;When a mortal has enjoyed his share with you, you most eagerly devour the plants.

1.163.8 The chariot follows you, horse, and the man, the cows, and the maidens' good fortune;Troops follow your fellowship, and the gods have measured out your might.

1.163.9 His horns are gold, his feet are iron, his speed is thought; Indra was first to mount him;The gods came to eat his oblation, this first rider of the horse.

1.163.10 Broad-rumped, narrow-waisted, strong-limbed, the heavenly racersGo in files like swans when the horses have reached the racecourse of heaven.

1.163.11 Your body flies, horse, and your spirit darts like the wind;Your horns move out in many places, grazing in the wilderness.

1.163.12 The prize horse has come to slaughter, his mind turned devoutly toward the gods;The goat is led before him as his navel; behind him the inspired singers follow.

1.163.13 He has come to the highest gathering, the horse to his father and mother;Today let him go most welcome among the gods and then bring blessings to his giver.

Hymn 1.164 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deities: the All-Gods (verses 1–41), Speech and Waters (verse 42), Shakadhuuma and Soma (verse 43), long-haired Agni, Surya, and Vayu (verse 44), Speech (verse 45), Surya (verses 46–47), the year's wheel of time (verse 48), Sarasvati (verse 49), the Sadhyas (verse 50), Surya or Parjanya and Agni (verse 51), Sarasvan or Surya (verse 52). Meter: Trishtubh, verses 12, 15, 23, 29, 36, 41 Jagati, verse 42 Prastarapankti, verse 51 Anushtubh.

1.164.1 This fair gray-haired priest has a middle brother who feeds on food;His third brother's back is buttered: here I saw the clan-lord with seven sons.

1.164.2 Seven yoke the chariot of a single wheel; one horse of seven names draws it;The three-naved wheel is ageless, never loose; on it all these worlds are set.

1.164.3 The seven who stand on this chariot are borne by seven horses with seven wheels;Seven sisters sing together around it, where the seven names of cows are stored.

1.164.4 Who saw the firstborn, when the boneless bore the one with bones?Where is earth's blood, breath, and soul? Who will approach a sage to ask?

1.164.5 Unknowing, I ask with my mind where the gods have hidden their tracks;Over the year-old calf the poets stretched seven threads for weaving.

1.164.6 Not knowing, I ask the poets who know, that I may learn:Who set apart these six expanses, and what is the one in the form of the unborn?

1.164.7 Let whoever knows proclaim here the hidden footprint of this fair bird;The cows milk from its head; clothed in a covering, they drew water with their feet.

1.164.8 The mother shared with the father in Truth; they came together first in thought and mind;Impregnated, she took the seed in fear, and those who bowed came near with words.

1.164.9 The mother was yoked to the right-hand pole; the child stood inside the enclosures;The calf bellowed, looking after the cow of manifold forms in the threefold journey.

1.164.10 One bearing three mothers and three fathers stood upright, yet they never exhaust him;On the far side of heaven they speak together the all-knowing word, which not all understand.

1.164.11 The twelve-spoked wheel of Truth turns around heaven, never growing old;Upon it, Agni, stand seven hundred and twenty children, born in pairs.

1.164.12 They say the five-footed, twelve-formed father, rich in water, dwells in the further half of heaven;Others say the far-seeing one is set in a lower wheel of seven wheels and six spokes.

1.164.13 Within the turning five-spoked wheel stand all living worlds;Its axle never heats beneath the heavy load; its nave has never broken from its beginning.

1.164.14 The ageless wheel with its unbroken rim turns wide, drawn by ten yoked to the upward-facing one;Surya's eye moves covered by the air; in it all living worlds are set.

1.164.15 They call seven born together, but the seventh born alone; six indeed are god-born seers;Their appointed places are set according to form, and steadfast they tremble in their different shapes.

1.164.16 Though female, these are called male; a sighted man sees, but the blind cannot discern;The son who is a poet knows them, and whoever knows them is father of his father.

1.164.17 Below the higher, above the lower, bearing her calf on her foot, the cow has risen;Where has she gone, in which direction? Where does she give birth, not among the herd?

1.164.18 Whoever traces its father below the higher and above the lower,Who here with a poet's vision can proclaim where the divine mind was born?

1.164.19 What come toward us, they call departing; what depart, they call approaching;What you and Indra have made, Soma, carry the skies like a pair yoked to a pole.

1.164.20 Two beautiful-winged birds, companions and friends, embrace the same tree;One eats its sweet fig, the other watches without eating.

1.164.21 Where fair-winged birds sing unblinking of their share of immortality at the gathering,The lord and guardian of every world entered into me, a simple man, to give me insight.

1.164.22 The tree in which the fair-winged honey-eaters all settle and bring forth offspring:They say its fig is sweet at the summit; one who does not know the father cannot reach it.

1.164.23 The Gayatri is set upon the Gayatri; from the Trishtubh they shaped the Trishtubh;In the Jagati the Jagati's measure is set: whoever knows this has won immortality.

1.164.24 With Gayatri they measure the hymn, with hymn the chant, with Trishtubh speech;With speech they measure two-foot and four-foot speech, with syllable the seven voices.

1.164.25 With Jagati he propped the heavenly sea; in the Rathantara chant he saw Surya;They speak of Gayatri's three kindlings; through them his greatness overflowed with might.

1.164.26 I call near this good-milking cow: let a skilled cowherd milk her;Let Savitar send us his finest gift, the cauldron warmed: this I proclaim.

1.164.27 Lowing, queen of treasures, she came in thought, looking for her calf;Let us milk this unharmed cow for the Ashvins; may she grow to great good fortune.

1.164.28 The cow lowed after her blinking calf and cried “hin” above his head;Calling to the heated pot at her mouth, she bellows and pours forth milk.

1.164.29 This calf cries, and the cow enfolding him answers with a low as she stands over the rushing flow;With her insights she has shaped the mortal and, becoming lightning, cast aside her covering.

1.164.30 The living, swift-moving one rests without breath, firmly placed at the center of dwellings;The living moves by its own power within the dead, the deathless sharing a womb with the mortal.

1.164.31 I saw the herdsman who never rests, traveling on paths to and fro;Clothed in what converges and diverges, he moves among the worlds.

1.164.32 The one who made it does not know it, and from the one who saw it it is hidden;Wrapped in its mother's womb, it entered destruction, bearing many children.

1.164.33 Heaven is my father, my begetter; here is my navel, and this great Earth my mother and kin;Between the two upturned bowls lies the womb; here the father placed seed in his daughter.

1.164.34 I ask you where earth's farthest limit is; I ask where the world's navel lies;I ask you for the seed of the stallion; I ask for speech's highest heaven.

1.164.35 This altar is earth's farthest limit; this sacrifice is the world's navel;This soma is the stallion's seed; this prayer is speech's highest heaven.

1.164.36 Seven half-embryos, seed of the world, stand in Vishnu's several directions according to law;Thoughtful sages with their minds encompass and enfold everything on all sides.

1.164.37 I do not discern what I truly am; hidden, bound in mind, I wander;When the firstborn of Truth comes to me, I gain a share of this speech.

1.164.38 Back and forth it goes, held fast by its own law, immortal yet born with the mortal;The lasting pair go different ways; men know one but fail to know the other.

1.164.39 The hymns dwell in the imperishable, highest heaven, where all the gods have taken their seats;What will one who knows it not do with hymns? Those who know it sit here together.

1.164.40 Be blessed with rich pasture, and may we too be blessed;Eat grass at all times, unharmed cow, and drink pure water as you roam.

1.164.41 Gauri measures and carves the waters: one-footed, two-footed, then four-footed,Becoming eight-footed and nine-footed, with a thousand syllables in highest heaven.

1.164.42 From her the oceans stream forth, and by her the four directions live;From her flows the imperishable on which the whole world lives.

1.164.43 I saw the dung-born smoke from afar, beyond the near and far divide;The heroes cooked the dappled bull: these were the first ordinances.

1.164.44 Three long-haired ones appear by season: one of them shears in the year;One sees everything with his powers; the third's swift course is seen, but not his form.

1.164.45 Speech has four measured steps, known by thoughtful priests;Three lie hidden and do not stir; humans speak the fourth step of speech.

1.164.46 They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, and the heavenly, beautiful-winged Garutman;What is one, the poets speak of in many ways: they call it Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.

1.164.47 The bright-winged ones fly through the dark course, clothed in waters, mounting to heaven;Returning from Truth's dwelling, they rain butter down on earth.

1.164.48 The one wheel has twelve rims and three hubs—who truly knows it?Upon it stand together three hundred and sixty pegs, fixed and yet unfixed.

1.164.49 The breast of yours that is inexhaustible and joy-giving, that nourishes every precious thing,That holds jewels and finds wealth, so generous, Sarasvati: offer that breast here to drink.

1.164.50 With sacrifice the gods sacrificed to sacrifice: those were the first ordinances;Those mighty ones reached heaven, where the ancient gods called Sadhyas dwell.

1.164.51 The same water rises upward and descends through the days;Rains revive the earth, fires revive heaven.

1.164.52 I call Sarasvan for help, the great winged one of heaven, child of waters, beautiful among plants,Who satisfies with rain those who seek him.

Hymn 1.165 — Seers: Indra (verses 1–2, 4, 6, 8, 10–12), the Maruts (verses 3, 5, 7, 9), Agastya Maitravaruni (verses 13–15). Deity: Indra with the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.165.1 “With what radiance do the Maruts, companions of one age and home, meet in unity?With what thought and from where have these come, bulls roaring forth their force in search of wealth?”

1.165.2 “Whose prayers have these young ones favored? Who brought the Maruts to the sacrifice?They speed like falcons in the midair; by what great thought can we delight them?”

1.165.3 “From where, Indra, do you come alone in your might? What brings you here, true lord?You question us as you meet us adorned: tell us, bay-horsed one, what you need from us.”

1.165.4 “My hymns and thoughts, my well-pressed soma, bring me joy; my offered pressing stone stirs my strength;The songs long for me and meet me; my bay pair bear me to these gatherings.”

1.165.5 “From here we go, harnessed with our nearest friends, adorning our bodies in our own dominion;With our mighty teams we come to you, Indra: you have indeed followed our ordinance.”

1.165.6 “Where was that power of yours, Maruts, when you left me alone to kill the serpent?I alone, fierce in might and powerful, overcame every enemy with weapons.”

1.165.7 “You did many deeds with us as companions, bull, equal partners in strength;We too, mightiest Indra, accomplish many things with our wisdom when we will.”

1.165.8 “I killed Vritra by my own Indra-power, made mighty by my own fury, Maruts;I, mace in hand, made these beautiful waters flow easily for all mankind.”

1.165.9 “No one can surpass you, generous one; no god like you is known;No born being can reach you, nor one yet to be born: grown mighty, do what you intend.”

1.165.10 “Were I to act by thought with even a portion of my boundless force, who could withstand it?For I am fierce, Maruts, and know my power; whatever I set in motion, Indra rules it.”

1.165.11 “Your song gladdened me here, Maruts, when you heroes made a famous prayer for me;For great Indra, mighty lord of sacrifice, friends gave their very bodies in friendship.”

1.165.12 “Now you come shining toward me, possessing blameless fame;Maruts of radiant color, look kindly on me, and now delight me.”

1.165.13 “Who here has exalted you, Maruts? Go to your friends as friends;Breathe life into splendid hymns; be their new knowers of Truth.”

1.165.14 “As the singer makes a gift worthy of honor, his wisdom made us honored;Come, Maruts, toward the poet: the singer has raised these prayers for you.”

1.165.15 “This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.”

Hymn 1.166 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Jagati, verses 14–15 Trishtubh.

1.166.1 Let us proclaim the ancient greatness of the bull's fierce birth as a beacon;Like fuel in your coming, roaring Maruts, like strong warriors display your power.

1.166.2 They bring honey as to a lifelong son and play their games, fierce in the gatherings;The Rudras reach the worshiper with help, and mighty ones never abandon the oblation-giver.

1.166.3 For whoever these deathless gods grant abundant wealth and offers them sacrifice,The Maruts water him as if with life-giving rain, filling vast spaces with joyous milk.

1.166.4 They cover the skies with their power; your steeds rush forward of their own will;Every home and world trembles: marvelous is your advance with leveled spears.

1.166.5 When your fierce advance makes mountains roar and casts heaven's summit into motion,Every forest tree fears your course; plants bow as if to riders passing.

1.166.6 Fierce Maruts, in your wisdom keep our community unharmed and grant us favor;Where your lightning flashes its flashing teeth, it cuts down cattle like a sharp axe.

1.166.7 Best praised in the assemblies, unfallen in bounty, they support what is desired and do no harm;They sing a hymn to drink the rousing juice, knowing the warrior's earliest feats.

1.166.8 With a hundred-handed fortress defend from crooked evil the man you favor, Maruts;Shield his people and growing offspring from reproach, fierce and powerful, magnificent ones.

1.166.9 All fine gifts lie on your chariots, Maruts, your powers contending with one another;Your neckpieces shine on your shoulders, your wheels turn level with your axles.

1.166.10 Many good things adorn your manly arms, glittering plates your breasts, bold ornaments;Blades rest on your shoulders, on your wheel-rims, arrayed like wings on birds.

1.166.11 Great in greatness, vast in splendor, seen far off like stars in heaven,Glad, eloquent singers with their voices, the Maruts mingle with Indra in praise.

1.166.12 Well-born Maruts, your greatness and lasting gift are like Aditi's ordinance;Even Indra cannot diminish the good you accomplish for a man.

1.166.13 Your kinship, Maruts, lived in a former age, when you deathless ones protected many people;With this thought you drew near to Manu, and men knew you by your wonders.

1.166.14 By your abundant gifts, swift Maruts, may we flourish long;When men reach out amid adversity, may these sacrifices win us aid.

1.166.15 This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.167.1 A thousand are your helps for us, Indra, a thousand gifts of food, bay-horsed one, most praised;A thousand riches for joy: let prizes by the thousand come to us.

1.167.2 May the wise Maruts come to us with their ancient, heaven-great help;Even beyond the far shore of the sea their teams roar mightily.

1.167.3 Among them a well-placed, butter-bright spear joins the gold-clad woman;Hidden she moves like a mortal woman, bringing voice to the gathering like speech in council.

1.167.4 The shining ones moved afar, mingling like common waters, Maruts;The terrible ones do not thrust apart heaven and earth: the gods welcome strength for friendship.

1.167.5 When the woman of divine power joins them, Rodasi of flowing hair and manly spirit,She mounts their chariot like the sun, bright-faced, borne through the clouds.

1.167.6 The young men placed their young woman among them, resplendent in assemblies;As your singer, Maruts, offered oblation and pressed soma, he sang his hymn in worship.

1.167.7 I will proclaim what deserves praise: the real greatness of these Maruts;When their proud strength accompanies her, she carries fortunate beings, firm as they are.

1.167.8 Mitra and Varuna protect her from reproach, and Aryaman drives away blame;Even immovable foundations shake; the Maruts have increased her gifts.

1.167.9 No one among us, Maruts, has reached the end of your strength, even from far away;Growing in bold might, you rise above hatred like waves over the sea.

1.167.10 Today we are Indra's dearest; tomorrow may we speak to you in the contest;We were great in former days and every day since: let the Ribhus' lord stay with our men.

1.167.11 This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.168.1 From sacrifice to sacrifice, from thought to thought, we bring our shared, godward song to you;Come near from between heaven and earth for our well-being; with praises I seek your mighty help.

1.168.2 Self-born and mighty, swift as streams, they rise seeking food and the sun;Like a thousand waves of water they come, our praiseworthy bulls, like cows lowing.

1.168.3 Like pressed soma with swollen shoots, drunk in the heart, they settle into worship;Across their shoulders a glittering adornment clings; in their hands are bracelets and blades.

1.168.4 Free and self-yoked they descended from heaven, deathless ones driving themselves with the whip;Dustless and mighty-born, gleaming-spear Maruts, they shake even things fixed firm.

1.168.5 Which of you, Maruts, bright with lightning spears, quivers within like a tongue inside the jaws?Swift in your journey, moving across the wastes, tireless chargers with many missions.

1.168.6 Where beyond this vast sky, where beneath it, Maruts, is the place you reach?When you shake together things asunder, you fly over the raging sea with your stone.

1.168.7 Your victory is mighty, sunlight-bright and dazzling, ripening in power, Maruts;Your gift is kindly as bounty from a generous hand, broad and full of divine force.

1.168.8 Rivers answer the roar of your wheels when you lift your cloud-born voices;Lightnings flash down on earth when you pour the butter out, Maruts.

1.168.9 Prishni gave birth for the great battle to the blazing army of the Maruts;These swift-footed ones brought forth a mighty wonder and found their own driving power.

1.168.10 This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.169.2 The Maruts, unconquered among all peoples, understand how to ward off harm to mortals;Laughing in battle, they win the sunlit prize in combat.

1.169.3 Let your spear strike true for us, Indra; the Maruts drive the eternal marvel on;Even Agni blazes for the thirsty, while the waters bear offerings like islands.

1.169.4 Now, Indra, grant us wealth in your mightiest bounty, like a gracious gift;Praised, receive what they desire for you: like a breast filled with honey, swell our prizes.

1.169.5 In you, Indra, are the riches dearest to any guide who keeps Truth;May the Maruts show us kindness, these gods who went forth before as if seeking a path.

1.169.6 Go forth to meet them, Indra, the generous men; attend the great earthly dwelling;There their broad-based powers have stood on the crossing like the heroic Aryas.

1.169.7 I hear the rumble of these terrible Maruts as they approach;They fly upon the mortal fighting man with aid, like a torrent set free.

1.169.8 With the Maruts, Indra, carve for our sons wealth for all peoples and cow-rich strength;You are praised by gods with these gods; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.170.2 “Why do you seek to kill us, Indra? The Maruts are your brothers;Join them in harmony; do not strike us down in battle.”

1.170.3 “Why, brother Agastya, do you scorn us, when you are our friend?We know your mind: you are not willing to give to us.”

1.170.4 “Let them prepare the altar and kindle the fire before us;There let us stretch out your sacrifice, a sign of immortality.”

Hymn 1.173 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, verse 4 Viraj.

1.173.1 Sing a sky-reaching chant like a bird's; let us honor with sunlight the one who grows by it;Unharmed milk-cows upon ritual grass seek their heavenly dwelling.

1.173.2 The bull sang among bulls, answering oblations, fierce like a beast that roams beyond;The joyous worshiper brings the pair together with praise, the man fit for sacrifice.

1.173.3 The priest reaches his appointed dwelling and bears earth's child through her autumns;The horse cries, the led cow lows; the messenger passes between heaven and earth like speech.

1.173.4 Those seeking the gods bring him their spotted steeds and sudden strength;Let brilliant, wondrous Indra take delight, chariot-rider as skillful as the Ashvins.

1.173.5 Praise that Indra who is strong, the hero, the generous chariot-fighter,Who can meet the warrior face to face and pierce even enveloping darkness.

1.173.6 Through his greatness he stands ready for men, and heaven and earth are room enough for him;Indra covers the fields like broad earth and bears the sky like an ornament.

1.173.7 In battle we seek your help, hero, to make safe a path through the besiegers;In joy the lands welcome Indra, and even the benefactor exults in prizes.

1.173.8 So, Indra, the libations and sea and divine waters gladden you;Every cow belongs gladly to you when you favor patrons and men with your insight.

1.173.9 May we find good friendship and aid in him, famed among men;May Indra be present at our hymns, urging work on like a swift steed.

1.173.10 Let mace-handed Indra be ours against rivals, celebrated among men;Like men who love a friend they seek the lord of the fort with sacrifices in the contest.

1.173.11 A sacrifice gladdens Indra even when a distracted man offers it in his mind;Like a long road to water, it opens a swift path to the thirsty man's home.

1.173.12 Do not abandon us here in battles with the gods, Indra; you have allies, mighty one;The gift-rich man's generous, oblation-bearing song calls on the Maruts.

1.173.13 This hymn is for you, Indra; with it show us a path, bay-horsed one;Turn toward us for good, god: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.174 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.174.1 You are king, Indra, over gods as well: guard men, protect us, divine lord;You are our true, generous master and victor, faithful one, possessor of wealth and strength.

1.174.2 When you broke seven autumn forts as shelter for Danu's harsh-speaking people, Indra,You opened the blameless flowing waters, and subdued young Vritra for Purukutsa.

1.174.3 You chose the heroic wives, Indra, and heaven with them, much-invoked one;Guard Agni, unswerving and swift, like a lion in his dwelling, and the work of day and night.

1.174.4 Let them rest, Indra, in your appointed place for praise of your great weapon;When you freed the rivers and won cattle by battle, your bay pair stood and boldly seized the prizes.

1.174.5 Carry Kutsa, Indra, with the two straight, wind-swift horses he desires;Tear the wheel from Surya nearby, mace-bearer, as you go against your rivals.

1.174.6 You have struck the hostile, godless ones, Indra, bay-horsed one, and awakened friendly peoples;They look toward Aryaman, bearing children with your help and keeping the law.

1.174.7 The poet sang when Indra won the sun; you made earth a cushion for the Dasa;Generous one, you fashioned three bright gifts and cast Kuyava down into a dark dwelling.

1.174.8 Those ancient deeds of yours, Indra, came again as new, great power in heaven for former people;You broke the unbroken godless forts and bowed down the weapon of the evil unbeliever.

1.174.9 You freed rushing rivers, Indra, the waters roaring like streams from a plow;When you crossed beyond the sea, hero, you brought Turvasha and Yadu safely over.

1.174.10 Indra, be always our gentlest protector among the guardians of men;Give us strength against every rival: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.175.2 Let your exhilarating, excellent bull's joy come to us,Powerful Indra, victorious, immortal conqueror in battles.

1.175.3 You are a hero who wins and drives the chariot of mankind onward;Strong one, you burned the lawless Dasyu like a vessel in flames.

1.175.4 You stole Surya's wheel for the poet, ruling by your might;Bring Kutsa on wind's horses to bear a weapon against Shushna.

1.175.5 Your joy is strongest, your wisdom most radiant;Think of us as Vritra-slayer, path-finder, winner of horses.

1.175.6 Just as you became to singers of old like water to the thirsty, Indra,So with this invocation I call you: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.176 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh, verse 6 Trishtubh.

1.176.1 Drink for our finest sacrifice, Indra; enter the drop as a bull;You stir the adversary, but find no enemy close enough to stand.

1.176.2 Place your songs in him, the one lord of peoples;He is sown according to his own law, like barley the farmer grows, the bull.

1.176.3 In his hands are all the treasures of the five peoples;Watch out for the one who wrongs us and strike like lightning from heaven.

1.176.4 Strike down the man who presses no soma and destroys all, the one who brings you no joy;Give us knowledge of his wealth, which even his patron covets.

1.176.5 The refuge of this mighty twofold one is found continuously in songs;In battle, drop, aid Indra, the prize-winner among prizes.

1.176.6 Just as you became to singers of old like water to the thirsty, Indra,So with this invocation I call you: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.177 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.177.1 Indra, bull filling the peoples, king of tribes, much invoked by men,Praised and seeking fame, yoke your bay pair and come near the pressing stones for our help.

1.177.2 Your mighty stallions, Indra, harnessed by prayers to the mighty chariot:Mount them and come near; we call you at the pressed soma, Indra.

1.177.3 Mount your mighty chariot, bull; the strong soma and honeyed drops have been poured for you;Yoke your two bay bulls, bull of the peoples, and come down to the stones.

1.177.4 Here is the god-loving sacrifice, here the offering, these the prayers and the soma, Indra;The ritual grass is spread: come forth, mighty one; sit and drink, and loose your bay pair here.

1.177.5 Well-praised Indra, come here to the venerable poet's prayers;With your aid may we find a dwelling as we sing, and win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.178 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.178.1 If that response of yours is ready, Indra, with which you helped singers,Do not consume our growing desire; may I attain all your gifts among the sons of Ayu.

1.178.2 King Indra will not deceive us, nor the sisters who make their home;Even the waters flowed easily for him: may Indra's friendship and strength reach us.

1.178.3 With men Indra is victor, a hero in battles, hearing the needy singer's call;He brings the chariot near the giver, lifting songs as he himself rises.

1.178.4 Thus Indra with men has won fine fame, providing food for his allies;In the contest he gives praise to the singer, his word a lasting service to the sacrificer.

1.178.5 With your help, generous Indra, may we overcome enemies who think themselves mighty;Be our protector and our strength: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.179.1 For many autumns I have toiled, wearing out nights and dawns;Age diminishes the body's beauty; yet strong men should come to their wives.

1.179.2 Even the ancient men who won Truth and spoke truths with the godsReached their end; they did not live forever: let strong men now come together with their wives.

1.179.3 The gods do not let toil come to nothing; together we can overcome every rival;Here we shall win the battle in a hundred ways if we two run forward together as a pair.

1.179.4 Desire has come over me, though I have held it back, born from somewhere near or far;Lopamudra draws her strong husband close; the ardent woman embraces the panting sage.

1.179.5 I speak to the soma drunk deep in my heart:If we have committed any wrong, let it pardon us; a mortal is filled with many desires.

1.179.6 Agastya dug with his digging tools, seeking children, offspring, and strength;The powerful seer nourished both human ways and won true blessings among the gods.

Hymn 1.180 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.180.1 Your well-reined horses course through the skies when your chariot flies over the waves;Your golden wheels sparkle; drinking honey, you join the dawns.

1.180.2 You reach the winged hero's chariot when he prepares his worship;When your sister brings offerings of every kind, she seeks food and the honeyed drink.

1.180.3 You put milk in the bright cow, ripeness in what was unripe, the ancient cow;When among the forest trees you, drinkers of Truth, are worshiped with oblation like a pure flame.

1.180.4 For Atri you chose the honeyed hot drink, Ashvins, as water chooses its rushing course;The devout seek your gifts of cattle and food, as chariot wheels follow one another.

1.180.5 I turn to you for giving, wondrous ones, like Tugra's son with his cattle-fetching plea;The earth's waters follow your might; worn with age, I seek refuge from distress, worshipful ones.

1.180.6 When you yoke your teams, generous ones, and release abundance according to your own ordinance,It runs and spreads like wind; the generous man takes a great reward as a keeper of good vows.

1.180.7 We your singers seek your favor faithfully, though the Pani conceals the riches;You, Ashvins, are faultless and have made a path near the gods, mighty ones.

1.180.8 Day after day, Ashvins, as you won the wild stream,Agastya, praised among men, brought thousands to your notice with a song like rushing water.

1.180.9 When you drive forth in your mighty chariot, when you move swiftly like human priests,Grant your patrons good horses, Nasatyas, and let us seek wealth successfully.

1.180.10 Today we call that chariot of yours with new hymns for our welfare, Ashvins,Its rims unbroken, traveling heaven's circuit: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.181 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.181.1 When did you, dearest among nourishing riches, bring the waters up for the sacrificer?This sacrifice has praised you, guardians of people and holders of wealth.

1.181.2 May your pure, heavenly, milk-rich, wind-swift, thought-speeding stallionsWith covered backs bring you here, independent Ashvins.

1.181.3 Let your chariot come for blessing, swift down the slope and smoothly seated,With two mighty riders, swifter than thought, the foremost in sacrifice.

1.181.4 Born here and here, let both sing together in their spotless bodies under their own names;One of you is a conquering giver at the fine sacrifice, the other a blessed son of heaven.

1.181.5 Your bay horses seek the homes of the dappled herd along the ridges;The other's bay pair swell with food; the worlds, Ashvins, ring out with your cries.

1.181.6 The autumn-rich bull goes forth like a seated lord, sending abundant food and honey;The other's powers swell with prizes, and eager rivers rise and run.

1.181.7 An ancient song from the maker has been released for you, Ashvins, flowing strongly in three streams;Protect your suppliant with praise and hear my call on every journey.

1.181.8 Your bright and lovely song nourishes men in the three-grass gathering;Your rain-cloud grows strong, pouring bounty for mortals like a cow milking herself.

1.181.9 I call you, Ashvins, bearing gifts like Pushan, as an offerer calls Agni at dawn;I praise you seeking your help: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.182 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati, verses 6–8 Trishtubh.

1.182.1 The sign has appeared; adorn it now, mighty charioteers, be glad, thoughtful ones;Thought-strengtheners and wise ones, bearing gifts to Vishpala, heaven's children of pure ordinance, favor the righteous.

1.182.2 More Indra-like, more Marut-like than any, healers most wondrous, peerless charioteers,You bear a full chariot heaped with honey and come with it to the giver, Ashvins.

1.182.3 What are you doing here, wondrous ones? Why sit still while some offeringless man prospers?Stride past him and crush the Pani's life-force; make light for the eloquent seer.

1.182.4 Check the two dogs snapping on either side; strike down foes—you know how, Ashvins;Make each of the singer's words a jewel; protect both my praises, Nasatyas.

1.182.5 For Tugra's son you made a winged vessel afloat on the rivers, alive in its own power;By it you flew with minds fixed on the gods and carried him away from the great flood.

1.182.6 The son of Tugra was flung into the waters, cast into darkness where nothing could be grasped;Four boats, welcomed from Jathala, rose at the Ashvins' bidding and ferried him across.

1.182.7 What tree stood in the middle of the sea for Tugra's son to cling to in his distress?You, Ashvins, brought him up for renown, as one grasps the wings of a flying beast.

1.182.8 May what men once said in your praise follow you, Nasatyas;From this soma gathering today, may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.183 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.183.2 Your well-turning chariot rolls over the earth, bearing you, wise ones, toward nourishment;Let this shapely song join your beauty; you two accompany Dawn, heaven's daughter.

1.183.3 Mount your well-turning chariot, which follows the ordinances and bears oblations,In which you travel, Nasatyas, to give food and aid for offspring and yourselves.

1.183.4 Let neither wolf nor she-wolf attack you; do not shun us or forsake us;Here is your allotted portion and here your song, wondrous ones, here your hoards of honey.

1.183.5 Gotama, Purumilha, and Atri call you with oblations for help, wondrous ones;Come toward my call, Nasatyas, traveling straight as though toward a marked direction.

1.183.6 We have crossed beyond this darkness; our hymn is offered to you, Ashvins;Come by the gods' own paths: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.184.2 Take joy in us, mighty ones, and strike the Panis amid the flood in your gladness;Hear me through the fair words of my thoughts, heroes, active seekers with keen ears.

1.184.3 As Pushan prepared splendor, gods, so the Ashvins went to Surya's wedding;Your lofty praises rise in the waters, age after age under vast Varuna's reign.

1.184.4 Let your honeyed gift be ours; drive forth the venerable poet's hymn;In pursuit of your fame, generous ones, people rejoice in your heroic strength.

1.184.5 This hymn is made for you, Ashvins, by reverent, well-turned words, generous ones;Come to help Agastya, Nasatyas, rejoicing for his children and himself.

Hymn 1.185 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deities: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.185.1 Which was first of you, and which came later? How were you born, poets—who knows?You uphold everything by yourselves and turn like two wheels with the days.

1.185.2 The two hold within their abundance an unmoving, footless embryo and all that moves with feet;Like an eternal son in his parents' lap: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.3 I call for Aditi's unhindered, harmless, heaven-bright, reverent gift;Bring it forth for the singer, both worlds: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.4 May we follow the help of you unscorched parents of gods, Heaven and Earth;Both gods of both divine realms and days: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.5 Two maidens coming together on every side, sisters, kinswomen in their parents' lap,They kiss the navel of the world: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.6 I call the vast, wide dwellings, mothers of the gods through Truth, for help;They keep immortality on their fair faces: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.7 Vast, broad, abundant, with far-distant boundaries, I address you with reverence in this sacrifice;You establish lovely, swift aid: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.8 Whatever wrong we have done against the gods, a friend, or always against a master of the house,Let this prayer reconcile us to them: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.9 May both receive my human praises and both accompany me with protection;Grant the generous man rich food, gods, that we may rejoice in nourishment.

1.185.10 Thoughtful, I have first spoken this Truth aloud for heaven and earth;Let father and mother shield me with help from reproach and nearby evil.

1.185.11 Let what I say to you here be true, Heaven and Earth, father and mother;Be our nearest divine aid: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.186 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.186.1 Let all-human Savitar come to our gathering with blessings and fine praise;As young men delight among us, may his wisdom extend to every living creature at the feast.

1.186.2 Let all unfailing gods come to us—Mitra, Aryaman, Varuna—together;May all grow our world and easily overcome divided power with their strength.

1.186.3 I praise your dearest guest, Agni, with hymns, triumphant one, in common accord;May Varuna dwell with us in fair fame, and the inspired patron bring food across.

1.186.4 With reverence I seek Dawn and Night from you, like a good-milking cow, longing to prevail;Measuring one hymn in one day, the two unlike ones have milk in the same udder.

1.186.5 Let Ahirbudhnya give us joy, and the river come like a nursing mother to her child;By her let us hasten the Child of Waters, whom thought-swift bulls bear.

1.186.6 Let Tvashtar come near with us and our patrons in accord at the feast;Let Indra, Vritra-slayer, filling the peoples, mightiest of men, come here.

1.186.7 Our horse-yoked thoughts caress him like cows licking their young calf;Our songs reach him like wives toward their husbands, the sweetest-scented among men.

1.186.8 Let the Maruts with their growing host and both worlds sit united beside us,Dapple-horsed, rolling like chariots over streams, destroyers of harm, gods yoked as friends.

1.186.9 When their greatness shows forth, their yoking horses eagerly answer the songs;When on a good day their armies stream like arrows, they shake the whole earth.

1.186.10 Invoke the Ashvins for help and invoke Pushan, for they are strong of themselves;I turn for favor to Vishnu without hatred, Vayu, the lord of Ribhus, and the gods.

1.186.11 May this illumination of yours fill and abide among us, worshipful ones;Seeking wealth it strives among the gods: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.187 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Food. Meter: Ushnih, verses 2, 4, 8–10 Gayatri, verses 3, 5–7, 11 Anushtubh.

1.187.1 Now I will praise Food, great power and force of ordinance;With its strength Trita crushed Vritra limb from limb.

1.187.2 Sweet food, honeyed food, we choose you;Be our protector.

1.187.3 Come near us, Food, kindly, with gracious help;Joy-bringing, free of hatred, friendly, loving, without deceit.

1.187.4 Your flavors, Food, spread through the skies,Established there like winds in heaven.

1.187.5 They give of yours, Food, and yours is sweetest;The flavors stream out like mighty-necked bulls.

1.187.6 In you, Food, rests the mind of the great gods;By your lovely sign the serpent was slain.

1.187.7 When you went beyond the mountains, Food, brightly visible,Come here ready for us to eat, sweet food.

1.187.8 When we partake of the essence of waters and herbs,Grow fat, Vatapi.

1.187.9 When we share your soma mixed with milk and barley,Grow fat, Vatapi.

1.187.10 Be porridge and healing plant, plump with generous kidneys;Grow fat, Vatapi.

1.187.11 We have made you ready with words, Food, as cows make offerings ready;For the gods you are a shared feast, and for us a shared feast.

Hymn 1.188 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deities: kindling and Agni (verse 1), Tanunapat (verse 2), Ila (verse 3), ritual grass (verse 4), divine doors (verse 5), Dawn and Night (verse 6), two divine priests (verse 7), Sarasvati, Ila, and Bharati (verse 8), Tvashtar (verse 9), Lord of the Forest (verse 10), offerings made with svaha (verse 11). Meter: Gayatri.

1.188.1 Kindled today, you reign, god with gods, winner of thousands;Wise messenger, carry the oblations.

1.188.2 For Tanunapat, going toward Truth, the sacrifice is anointed with honey,Bringing nourishment in thousands.

1.188.3 Praised and invoked, bring the gods worthy of worship to us;Agni, you win thousands.

1.188.4 With strength they spread the eastward ritual grass, rich in a thousand heroes,Where you, Adityas, shine forth.

1.188.5 The wide, imperial, spreading, powerful, many and abundantDoors streamed with butter.

1.188.6 Beautiful in gold and adorned with splendor,Let Dawn and Night sit here together.

1.188.7 You are foremost, eloquent divine priests and poets;Offer this sacrifice of ours.

1.188.8 Bharati, Ila, Sarasvati, I address you all;Urge us onward to splendor.

1.188.9 For Tvashtar, lord of forms, has adorned every living beast;Sacrifice for their flourishing among us.

1.188.10 Open by your own power, Lord of the Forest, the paths to the gods;Let Agni make the oblations sweet.

1.188.11 Agni, who leads the gods, is anointed with Gayatri song;He shines amid offerings made with “svaha.”

Hymn 1.189 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.189.1 Agni, lead us by the good path to riches, god who knows all the ways;Keep crooked sin away from us: we will give you our fullest words of reverence.

1.189.2 Agni, as our new guide carry us through every hardship to well-being;Let our settlement be broad and plentiful, bringing peace to children and their children.

1.189.3 Agni, drive disease away from us and tribes that come against us without fire;Return earth to us for good fortune, god worthy of worship, with all the deathless ones.

1.189.4 Guard us, Agni, with unceasing protectors, blazing in your beloved dwelling;Let no fear find your singer now or afterward, youngest one, mighty son of strength.

1.189.5 Do not release us, Agni, to the evil-minded, ravenous foe or misfortune;Do not give us to one who bites, devours, hates, or harms, powerful one.

1.189.6 Born of Truth, you spread protection for your singer's body, Agni;You discern all deceivers and slanderers, god, however crooked their schemes.

1.189.7 You know both kinds of people, Agni, and visit them at the feast, worshipful one;At the feast you became a guide for Manu, purified and kindled by eager men.

1.189.8 The son of Mana has spoken secret words to powerful Agni here;With the seers may we gain a thousand gifts and win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.190 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.190.1 Strengthen unstoppable Brihaspati, the bull of joyful tongue, with new hymns;The gods and mortals hear the bright songs of his swelling praise.

1.190.2 Timely voices attend him, released like the stream of those who love the gods;Brihaspati becomes vast in battle, opening riches as Matarishvan did.

1.190.3 He stretches out praise and reverence and song as Savitar spreads his arms;Through his wisdom he is mighty every day, terrible as a beast, strong against demons.

1.190.4 His song resounds through heaven and earth, a chariot horse guided by the discerning one;Like hunters' missiles, these go forth against Brihaspati's serpent-magic day after day.

1.190.5 Those foolish men who take you for a mere cattle-driver live on your good gifts while doing evil;You do not give your favor to wicked thought, Brihaspati, but expose the deceitful one.

1.190.6 As a good path through rich pasture, as a friend difficult to restrain yet embraced,He stands before those who look upon us, unhindered, uncovering what has been concealed.

1.190.7 Songs flow together toward him like streams to the sea, held within their banks;Wise Brihaspati sees both shores from within, penetrating waters and the eager foe.

1.190.8 Thus the great, mighty-born and powerful bull Brihaspati has been established as a god;Praised, grant us cattle and heroes: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.191 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deities: the invisible creatures and Surya (charm against poison). Meter: Anushtubh, verses 10–12 Mahapankti, verse 13 Mahabrihati.

1.191.1 The biting and the non-biting, and the little ones that bite,Both kinds of insects, unseen, have settled on us.

1.191.2 She kills them as she approaches, kills them as she departs;She kills them as she strikes and grinds them as she crushes.

1.191.3 Grass-stalks, rushes, darbha grass, the reeds,The munja and the thorny, unseen ones have settled here together.

1.191.4 The cows have settled in their stall, the wild beasts have entered their dens;The lights among men have gone to rest, and the unseen ones have settled.

1.191.5 Those creatures appear at dusk like thieves;Invisible but seeing all, wake up and show yourselves.

1.191.6 Heaven is your father, earth your mother, Soma your brother, Aditi your sister;Unseen and all-seeing ones, stay still and settle down.

1.191.7 Those on shoulders, on limbs, tiny needles and little biters:Unseen ones, you have no place here; all of you perish together.

1.191.8 Surya rises in the east, seeing all, killer of unseen things;He crushes every hidden creature and every sorceress.

1.191.9 There Surya has leapt upward, sweeping across the many worlds;From the mountains rises Aditya, seeing all, slayer of invisible things.

1.191.10 I bind the poison to Surya as a wineskin is tied in the drinker's house;Neither it nor we shall die; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.11 This little bird ate your poison together with hers;Neither it nor we shall die; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.12 Three times seven sparks of fire consumed the growth of poison;Neither they nor we shall die; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.13 Of ninety-nine poison-stripping herbs,I have seized the names of them all; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.14 Three times seven peahens, seven maiden sisters,Have carried your poison off like women bearing water jars.

1.191.15 I crush the tiny Kushumbhaka with a stone;The poison turns away from there and flees along the distant slopes.

1.191.16 Kushumbhaka, coming down from the mountain, said:“The scorpion's poison has no juice; scorpion, your poison is drained.”

Hymn 2.1 — Seer: Gritsamada Shaunaka, son of Shaunaka, of the Bhrigus (formerly an Angirasa, son of Shunahotra). Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati.

2.1.1 Agni, you are born from heavenly days, from flame, from waters and stone;From woods and herbs you are born, pure one, lord of men among men.

2.1.2 Yours is the office of priest, of purifier, of guide; you are the fire-kindler at the appointed hour;Yours is the role of director, and you perform the rite; you are our chief priest and master of the house.

2.1.3 You are Indra, Agni, bull of those who exist; you are Vishnu of the wide stride, worthy of reverence;You are the prayer, finder of wealth, Brihaspati; you join with abundance, giver of gifts.

2.1.4 You are King Varuna, Agni, who keeps the ordinance; you become wondrous Mitra, deserving praise;You are Aryaman, true lord who gives the feast; you are Amsha, god distributing shares at assembly.

2.1.5 You are Tvashtar, Agni, offering abundant strength to the worshiper; yours is the marriage of the goddesses, friend of the great;You give swift runners and fine horses; you are the host of men, rich in many treasures.

2.1.6 You are Rudra, divine lord of vast heaven, and lord of the Maruts' host and its food;You travel with gracious ruddy winds; as Pushan, you guard the worshiper yourself.

2.1.7 You give wealth, Agni, to the one prepared; you are god Savitar, dispenser of jewels;You are Bhaga, lord of men, master of goods; you are guardian in the house of whoever honors you.

2.1.8 At home the clans adorn you as their lord, Agni, as a king of wise discernment;You rule over all, bright-faced one; you meet thousands, hundreds, and tens.

2.1.9 With sacrifices men honor you as a father, Agni, as a brother whose body shines from his work;To the man who honors you, you are a son, and a loving friend who protects against harm.

2.1.10 You are Ribhu, Agni, worthy of reverence nearby; you rule prize-rich, nourishing wealth;You shine on every side to give gifts, and you teach the sacrifice and spread it forth.

2.1.11 You are Aditi to the giver, Agni, and as priestess Bharati you grow with song;You are Ila for the man who seeks a hundred winters, and Sarasvati, Vritra-slayer, lord of wealth.

2.1.12 When well tended, Agni, you are the highest life; in your lovely color splendors come into sight;You are the great prize that carries us across, wealth in abundance, spreading everywhere.

2.1.13 The Adityas made you their mouth, Agni, and the pure gods their tongue, wise one;Those seeking gifts joined you in sacrifice; in you gods consume the offered oblation.

2.1.14 In you, Agni, all the guileless deathless gods consume oblation with their mouths;Through you mortals taste the poured offering, and you are born a pure child of plants.

2.1.15 You meet and match them with your strength, Agni, well-born god, and surpass them;Through your greatness nourishment spread abroad here, throughout both heaven and earth.

2.1.16 Patrons who give singers cattle-led, horse-adorned gifts, Agni:Lead us and them toward richer good, so with strong heroes we may speak greatly in council.

Hymn 2.2 — Seer: Gritsamada Shaunaka, son of Shaunaka, of the Bhrigus (formerly an Angirasa, son of Shunahotra). Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati.

2.2.1 Let sacrifice strengthen Jatavedas; worship Agni with oblation, your body, and song;Kindled and richly fed, splendid as Surya, the radiant priest bears the burden in battle.

2.2.2 Nights and dawns yearn for you, Agni, as cows in their stalls yearn for a calf;Tireless through human generations like heaven, you shine through the nights, choosing many gifts.

2.2.3 The gods set that wonder-worker at the base of the sky, messenger of heaven and earth;Agni is like a chariot worth knowing, bright-flamed, a friend worthy of praise among peoples.

2.2.4 They set him in his own house in the air, pouring forth, beautifully shining like the moon;The wise-winged son of Prishni sees with his eyes and guards both peoples like a path.

2.2.5 The priest encircles the whole sacrifice; mortals adorn him with offerings and songs;Golden-mouthed, he feeds among growing things, lighting both worlds like heaven with stars.

2.2.6 Kindled in splendor for our well-being, shine riches and fellowship upon us;Set both worlds in favor of our good fortune, Agni, and carry men's offerings to the gods.

2.2.7 Give us great, thousandfold gifts, Agni; open the doors to the prize, famous one;Turn heaven and earth toward us with prayer, shining brightly like the dawns with sunlight.

2.2.8 Kindled through the lovely dawns, he shines like Surya with ruddy light;Agni, priest with man's offerings, well ordered, king of clans, beloved guest of Ayu's people.

2.2.9 So, ancient Agni among deathless gods, may our human thought grow under the great heavens;Like a cow yielding to her singer in battles, she gives a hundred gifts of many shapes by her own will.

2.2.10 Agni, through horses or fine heroes or prayer may we shine beyond other peoples;Let our brilliance among the five tribes shine high like Surya, impossible to overcome.

2.2.11 Take notice of us, praised son of strength, in whom generous, well-born patrons seek food;Agni, prize-seeking men approach your sacrifice as you shine forever among the children in your home.

2.2.12 May we both be sheltered by you, Jatavedas, singers and patrons alike, Agni;Grant us riches and plentiful splendor, children and worthy descendants.

2.2.13 Patrons who give singers cattle-led, horse-adorned gifts, Agni:Lead us and them toward richer good, so with strong heroes we may speak greatly in council.

Hymn 2.3 — Seer: Gritsamada Shaunaka, son of Shaunaka, of the Bhrigus (formerly an Angirasa, son of Shunahotra). Deities: kindling and Agni (verse 1), Tanunapat (verse 2), Ila (verse 3), ritual grass (verse 4), divine doors (verse 5), Dawn and Night (verse 6), two divine priests (verse 7), Sarasvati, Ila, and Bharati (verse 8), Tvashtar (verse 9), Lord of the Forest (verse 10), offerings made with svaha (verse 11).

2.3.1 Agni kindled upon earth stands facing all living worlds;The pure priest, wise from ancient days, shall worthily offer the god's sacrifice to the gods.

2.3.2 Narashamsa adorns three stations, three heights of heaven, with his own flame and greatness;Wet with butter, let him anoint the oblation in thought and bind the gods at the sacrifice's summit.

2.3.3 Agni, praised with our hearts, worthy one, offer the gods sacrifice before any man today;Bring the unfailing host of Maruts and Indra; heroes, worship them on the ritual grass.

2.3.4 Divine ritual grass, growing rich in heroes, spread to bring good wealth upon the altar;Vasus, sit upon it, and all the Adityas and gods worthy of sacrifice.

2.3.5 Open wide at our call, divine doors, easy of approach with reverence;Spread broad, deathless doors, purifying a glorious color and heroes in plenty.

2.3.6 Dawn and Night have blessed our ancient work and rejoice like two weavers;Together they weave the extended thread of sacrifice, good-milking and rich in milk.

2.3.7 Divine priests, the first to know, worship rightly and harmoniously with beautiful forms;Sacrifice to the gods and adorn them in season at earth's navel, upon its three summits.

2.3.8 Sarasvati, fulfilling our thought, goddess Ila, and Bharati who overcomes all:Let the three goddesses sit on this unbroken shelter of ritual grass and guard it by their power.

2.3.9 Tawny in form, bearing life, the hero eager for gods is born at our call;May Tvashtar extend our offspring and kinship and come to the gods' feast.

2.3.10 Lord of the Forest stands here opening the way, and Agni prepares the oblation through prayers;Let the divine preparer convey the thrice-anointed offering to the gods, knowing all life.

2.3.11 Butter blends with butter: butter is his birthplace, he rests in butter, butter is his home;Bring the oblation according to ordinance and rejoice; bull, carry the offering consecrated with “svaha.”

Hymn 2.4 — Seer: Somahuti Bhargava. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.4.1 With fair praise I call you, shining Agni, richly fed guest of the peoples,Who, like Mitra, deserves our love, divine Jatavedas born among god-loving folk.

2.4.2 The Bhrigus, honoring him, placed him among Ayu's peoples in the waters' gathering place;May Agni of swift horses, tireless messenger of gods, watch over every earthly realm.

2.4.3 The gods placed Agni among human clans as a dear friend when they sought shelter;For the giver he shines upon eager nights, fit to show wisdom at home.

2.4.4 His beautiful face is like his own abundance, skillful even as he draws away;He flickers his tongue through plants and shakes the precious things like a chariot horse.

2.4.5 When eager worshipers praise my marvel, the woods yield their color;He glows with splendid light, this one who aged and again became young.

2.4.6 Thirsting for the woods, he shines like a path through forest, roaring like a chariot;His dark trail and joyful heat are visible as he smiles through the clouds like heaven.

2.4.7 When he stands spreading over the broad land, he roams on his own like an unguarded beast;Flame-bright Agni burns dry brush, shaking dark ground and tasting it all.

2.4.8 Now mindful of your former help, I sing in our third assembly;Give us, Agni, strong heroic wealth, plentiful food and fine descendants.

2.4.9 As the Gritsamadas, Agni, prevailed over those hidden above through your aid,May we, rich in heroes and victorious over foes, place this strength with our praising patrons.

Hymn 2.5 — Seer: Somahuti Bhargava. Deity: Agni. Meter: Anushtubh.

2.5.1 The knowing priest was born, a father to the fathers for help;To win victorious treasure through worship, may we master the prize.

2.5.2 In him, guide of sacrifice, seven rays are stretched;As with Manu, the eighth divine purifier strengthens all things.

2.5.3 When he spoke prayers to the racing one, he embraced them;He encompassed every poetic work like a rim around its wheel.

2.5.4 Pure and with the pure one, the wise director was born;Knowing his fixed ordinances, he climbs branch upon branch.

2.5.5 The cows follow their guide, the sons of Ayu, taking on his color;What treasure might the three sisters choose, those who came here?

2.5.6 When sisters brought butter near their mother, they stood together;At their coming the officiant rejoices like barley in the rain.

2.5.7 Let each officiant make a heaven for his own refreshment;May we gain the hymn and sacrifice and grant our gifts.

2.6.6 Youngest messenger, come to your singer who asks for aid;Most worthy priest, hear our song.

2.7.4 Pure and purifying, worthy of praise, Agni, you shine far and wide,Fed with butter offerings.

2.8.4 Bright as Surya in radiance, he blazes with splendid flame,Anointing himself with deathless ones.

2.9.3 We serve you in your highest birthplace, Agni, and with songs in your lower seat;At the birthplace from which you rose for sacrifice, they pour offerings into you when kindled.

2.9.4 Worship with oblation, Agni, most fit to worship; hear and grant generous gifts;You are indeed lord of riches, and mindful of bright prayer.

2.9.5 The double treasure of you born day by day never runs out, wondrous one;Make your singer rich in food, Agni, a master of wealth and fine children.

2.10.1 Agni, first to be called, kindled by Manu in the place of refreshment, is like a father;Clothed in splendor, immortal and discerning, worthy of honor, famed and victorious.

2.10.2 May bright-rayed Agni hear my call with all my songs, immortal and discerning;Dark and ruddy horses pull his chariot, or red ones, bearing their rider.

2.10.3 They brought him forth in the upturned mother, born well; Agni was an embryo within her many forms;Even on a black night he dwells uncovered, wise through his mighty deeds.

2.10.4 I warm Agni with oblation and butter, who faces every living world;Broad and tall, extending across, widest in food, appearing with fierce power.

2.10.5 I warm him facing us from every side; may he welcome this with a mind free of demons;Agni, lovely as a young man, desirable in color, flourishes with a body none may touch.

2.10.6 Knowing your allotted share, son of strength, with choice offerings, we your messengers speak like Manu;With praise and the ladle I call perfect Agni, blended with honey, to win wealth.

Hymn 2.11 — Seer: Gritsamada Shaunaka, son of Shaunaka, of the Bhrigus (formerly an Angirasa, son of Shunahotra). Deity: Indra. Meter: Viraj, verse 21 Trishtubh.

2.11.1 Hear the call, Indra; let us suffer no harm but share your gift of treasures;These foods strengthen you, flowing like rivers, eager to bring wealth.

2.11.2 Release the mighty rivers you swelled, hero, when the serpent encircled them long ago;You struck down even the Dasa who thought himself immortal, strengthened by hymns.

2.11.3 Among the hymns you love, hero, and the Rudra-like songs, Indra,These bright streams are for you; gladdened by them, they run toward Vayu.

2.11.4 Increasing your bright might, we place your shining mace in your arms;Grow bright for us, Indra, and with Surya master the Dasa peoples.

2.11.5 You struck the serpent hiding in the waters, concealed and secret, sheltering with magic;He had held back the waters and propped heaven, but you destroyed him by your heroic strength.

2.11.6 Now let us praise your ancient mighty deeds, Indra, and praise your new works;Let us praise the mace flashing in your arms, your bay horses, the beacons of Surya.

2.11.7 Your bay horses, Indra, racing for the prize, drove toward the heaven that pours butter;The whole earth spread wide, and even the mountain broke loose to move.

2.11.8 The mountain sank without pause, meeting the mothers with a roar;Across the distant bank they raised their voice and spread the channel at Indra's command.

2.11.9 Great Indra dragged out cunning Vritra lying in the vast river;Heaven and earth shook in fear at the roaring of the bull's mace.

2.11.10 His mighty mace roared when a mortal struck down what was beyond men;After drinking the pressed soma, he made the Danu's sorcerous arts fall away.

2.11.11 Drink and drink again the soma, heroic Indra; let the pressed, intoxicating drops gladden you;Let them fill your belly and increase your strength: soma pressed in this fortress will protect Indra.

2.11.12 We have become yours, Indra; serving Truth, may we poets win insight;Seeking help, we compose praise: let us soon share the riches you give.

2.11.13 Let us be among those you help, Indra, who seek support and increase their food;God, grant us the rich heroic wealth for which we long most strongly.

2.11.14 Give us a home and friendship, Indra, and give us your Marut host;May the joyous companions and the winds guard our leadership together.

2.11.15 Let the offerings delight you: drink your fill of soma, Indra, and stand firm;Make us victorious in battles and enlarge heaven with your towering hymns.

2.11.16 Great are those who seek your favor with hymns, victor,Spreading the ritual grass at home, who have reached a prize under your protection, Indra.

2.11.17 Rejoice among fierce men, hero; drink soma at the threefold pressing, Indra;Let it drip on your beard as you delight; come with your bay pair to drink the pressing.

2.11.18 Take up the strength, hero, by which you struck Vritra, the ocean-born child of Danu;You opened light for the Arya and laid the Dasyu low on the left, Indra.

2.11.19 With your aid may we win, crossing every contest and the Dasyus through the Arya;You subdued many-formed Tvashtar's son for us and for Trita's fellowship.

2.11.20 Strengthened by the rousing soma pressed by Trita, you cast down Arbuda;Like Surya turning the wheel, Angirasa Indra broke open Vala.

2.11.21 Now let your bountiful gift yield its chosen share to your singer, Indra;Give to the singers and do not withhold our fortune, so with strong heroes we may speak greatly in council.

2.12.3 He who slew the serpent and freed the seven rivers, who drove cattle out of Vala's cave,Who brought Agni forth between the stones, winning battles—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.4 By whom all these shifting worlds were made, who hid the Dasa people low,Who like a lucky gambler wins the stake and seizes an enemy's wealth—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.6 He who urges the poor and the lean, the priest and singer seeking aid,The fair-faced guardian of the man whose stones are yoked and soma pressed—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.7 Whose horses and cows are found in every quarter, whose are the villages and every chariot,Who brought forth Surya and Dawn and leads the waters—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.8 Whom opposing hosts call upon as they clash, the distant and the near, both enemy sides,Even those on a single chariot calling separately—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.9 Without whom peoples never win, whom warriors call for help,Who became the measure of the whole world and shakes what cannot be shaken—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.10 He who with his arrow killed those bearing grave and lasting wrong, those who scorned him,Who gives no ground to the arrogant and kills the Dasyu—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.11 He who found Shambara dwelling in the mountains in the fortieth autumn,Who killed the swelling serpent, child of Danu, where it lay—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.12 The mighty seven-rayed bull who freed the seven rivers to flow,Who with mace in hand struck Rauhina as he climbed toward heaven—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.13 Even heaven and earth bow to him, and the mountains fear his force;Soma-drinker armed with the mace, holding the mace in his hand—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.14 He who helps the presser and cook, the singer and worshiper with aid,Whom prayer strengthens, whose is soma and whose is this gift—he, people, is Indra.

2.12.15 You fiercely grant the prize to one who presses and cooks; you are indeed true;Indra, may we always be dear to you, rich in heroes, speaking in assembly.

2.13.1 Season is the mother; swiftly born from her waters, he entered those in which he grows;Then the nourishing cow filled with milk: the shoot's first nectar is worthy of praise.

2.13.2 They come together bearing milk, bringing food to the one of universal form;The streams' common course cannot fail; you made it first, and so deserve praise.

2.13.3 One speaks when another gives; one measures out their forms and travels after water;One endures all the others' driving: you made them first, and so deserve praise.

2.13.4 They sit sharing nourishment with their children, supplying the back as wealth for whoever approaches;The young one eats its father's food with teeth still unripe: you made them first, and so deserve praise.

2.13.5 You made earth visible to heaven, serpent-slayer who opened the paths of flowing waters;The gods brought you forth with hymns like a prize horse from the waters, and so you deserve praise.

2.13.8 You brought Narmara with his wealth to destruction and gave nourishment to those who entered the Dasa's house;With her eager, unshielded mouth she stands today: maker of many things, you deserve praise.

2.13.9 When you answered one man's call, hundreds and thousands—or tens—you defeated together;You bound the Dasyus without rope, to their terror: good protector, you deserve praise.

2.13.10 Every barrier acknowledged his manhood and gave him gifts, wealth for the maker;You propped six realms and stretched out five visions, surpassing all: you deserve praise.

2.13.11 Your heroic might is well proclaimed, hero, for by one wise act you find riches;Give steadfast life to the strong, as you have always done: you deserve praise.

2.13.12 You checked Sarapas for the crossing, made a passage for Turviti and Vayya;You raised the lowly Paravrij and made the blind and lame renowned: you deserve praise.

2.13.13 For us, rich god, bring forth that bounty to give; many are your treasures;Indra, grant us the splendid gifts of fame day after day, so with strong heroes we may speak greatly in council.

2.14.1 Priests, bring soma to Indra; pour the heady draught into vessels;The hero forever desires to drink it: offer it to the bull, for that is what he loves.

2.14.2 Priests, he killed Vritra, who enclosed the waters, like lightning splitting a tree;Bring this drink to him as he desires: Indra deserves to drink it.

2.14.3 Priests, he slew Dribhika and drove the cows out when he opened Vala;Cover Indra in soma as wind fills the sky, like an old man wrapped in robes.

2.14.4 Priests, he killed Urana, who had nine and ninety arms,And forced Arbuda down low: bring the soma to Indra.

2.14.5 Priests, he killed Svashna and dried up Shushna, destroyed Vyamsa,Pipru, Namuci, and Rudhikra: pour the draught for Indra.

2.14.9 Priests, give him a ready hearing; lift the purified juice from its wooden vessel;He longs for what your hands provide: pour the intoxicating soma for Indra.

2.14.10 Priests, as you support the cow with milk, fill generous Indra with soma;I know his secret and he knows mine: he would give more to the worshiper.

2.14.11 Priests, he is king of heavenly, earthly, and domestic riches;Fill Indra with soma as you fill a sack with barley, and let that be your work.

2.14.12 For us, rich god, bring forth that bounty to give; many are your treasures;Indra, grant us the splendid gifts of fame day after day, so with strong heroes we may speak greatly in council.

2.15.1 Now I will proclaim the true great deeds of the great true one;At the threefold pressing he drank the pressed soma, and in its joy Indra killed the serpent.

2.15.2 He propped the great heaven on no pillar and filled the midair between both worlds;He held up and spread the earth: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.3 He measured eastward as if laying out a house, and cut channels for rivers with his mace;He let them flow free on their long roads: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.4 He brought the carriers past the deceiver and set all weapons in the burning fire;He joined them with cattle, horses, and chariots: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.5 He checked the great rushing flood on its way and ferried across those who could not swim;They crossed and sought riches: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.6 By his greatness he sent the river flowing upward; with his mace he crushed Dawn's wagon;He divided slow ones from the swift: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.7 Knowing the maiden's hidden dwelling, the outcast rose into the open;The lame one stood and the blind one saw: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.8 He broke Vala with the Angirases singing and opened the mountain's fastened doors;He broke their artificial barriers: these things Indra did in the joy of soma.

2.15.9 You stole upon Chumuri and Dhuni in sleep and struck down the Dasa; you brought Dabhiti aid.Here even Rambhi found gold: Indra did these deeds in the rapture of soma.

2.15.10 Now may your generous gift, Indra, yield the singer a chosen blessing.Give to the singers; let our share not fail. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.16 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verse 9 Trishtubh.

2.16.1 For the eldest of all that are, I bring a noble praise, like an oblation to a kindled fire.For aid we call on Indra, unaging, growing strong, forever young since ancient days.

2.16.2 Apart from mighty Indra there is nothing: in him all heroic powers are gathered.He bears soma in his belly, vast strength in his body, the mace in his hand, resolve in his head.

2.16.3 Neither earths nor seas nor mountains can contain your might, Indra, or your chariot.None can overtake your mace as you fly with your swift steeds across so many leagues.

2.16.4 All bring their power of thought to this bold, worshipful bull, his followers.Strong one, accept our oblation, you who know best; drink soma, Indra, with your bull-like splendor.

2.16.5 The strong one's vessel flows, a wave of sweetness, drink for the strong, bull-fed bull.Strong are the officiants, bull-like the stones that press the mighty soma for the bull.

2.16.6 Strong is your mace and strong your chariot; strong your bay horses, bull-like your weapons.Bull, you command the strong one's ecstasy; Indra, drink your fill of potent soma.

2.16.7 Boldly at the pressings I send my hymn toward you, as a boat to the contest.Will he hear this utterance of ours? We pour forth Indra like a fountain of riches.

2.16.8 Turn to us before distress, like a cow full of pasture's milk to her calf.With your blessings may we reach you, hundred-powered one, like the bull with his mates and consorts.

2.16.9 Now may your generous gift, Indra, yield the singer a chosen blessing.Give to the singers; let our share not fail. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.17 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 8–9 Trishtubh.

2.17.1 Sing him a new song like the Angirases, as his ancient powers rise again.When in soma's rapture he drove forth all the cattle pens, firmly shut, by force.

2.17.2 May he be there, who measured strength for the first draught and surpassed all greatness.The warrior who armored his body in battle and set the sky upon his head by his might.

2.17.3 Then you performed your first great deed of courage when at the outset you stirred your might with prayer.Dislodged by the chariot-rider with bay horses, the swift streams ran forward, together and apart.

2.17.4 Then he grew in strength, ruling over all creatures and surpassing the ancients.The bearer spread light between both worlds and wrapped the darkness closely woven around them.

2.17.5 He made firm the eastern mountains by his strength and sent the waters' flood down below.He upheld the all-sustaining earth and by his art propped up the falling sky.

2.17.6 His father fashioned for his arms a weapon beyond every creature at birth.With it the thunderous one struck down Krivi, laying him upon earth with his mace.

2.17.7 Like an unmarried daughter still living with her parents, I come to you from the common home to seek my share.Make me a sign; bring it near me. Give me my bodily portion by which I may thrive.

2.17.8 We call on you as giver, Indra: grant us works and prizes, Indra.Find us, Indra, with your brilliant aid; strong Indra, make us more prosperous.

2.17.9 Now may your generous gift, Indra, yield the singer a chosen blessing.Give to the singers; let our share not fail. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.18 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.18.1 At dawn the new chariot was yoked, victorious, four-yoked, three-whipped, seven-reined.Ten-oared, man-bearing, seeking sunlight, it sped onward with offerings and prayers.

2.18.2 He prepared for him the first and the second, and even the third: he is the people's priest.Some bear the child of another mother; that victorious bull joins with others.

2.18.3 Now I yoke Indra's bay horses to the chariot so he may come at the sound of a new and lovely hymn.Let not the many other sages here, other sacrificers, keep you back.

2.18.4 Come, Indra, with two bay horses, with four, with six, when summoned.With eight or ten come drink the soma, noble giver; this has been pressed—do not despise it.

2.18.5 Come here with twenty or thirty, with forty bay horses yoked.With fifty fine chariot steeds, Indra, with sixty, with seventy, to drink soma.

2.18.6 Come here with eighty or ninety, carried by a hundred bay horses.For this soma, Indra, has been poured for you among the Shunahotras, for your delight.

2.18.7 Come to my prayer, Indra; put all your bay horses to the chariot's yoke.Many places summon you: rejoice at this pressing, warrior.

2.18.8 Let my friendship with Indra never end; may his gift yield riches to us.Sheltered beneath his foremost protecting hand, may we win at every venture.

2.18.9 Now may your generous gift, Indra, yield the singer a chosen blessing.Give to the singers; let our share not fail. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.19 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.19.1 For exhilaration the wise man's pressed drink, the nourishing soma, has been drunk.In it Indra has grown strong from ancient days, and the men who love sacred speech have made their home.

2.19.2 Delighting in this honeyed drink, mace in hand, Indra cut open the serpent that held back the flood.Then the currents of the rivers raced toward their own dwelling places like birds.

2.19.3 That mighty Indra, serpent-slayer, drove the floods of water toward the sea.He brought forth the sun, found the cows, and shaped the ordering of nights and days.

2.19.4 Indra bestows countless unconquered gifts on Manu, on the giver; he slays Vritra.At once he was men's unconquerable ally as they competed for possession of the sun.

2.19.5 God Indra brings the sun to the praising mortal who presses soma.He brings him wealth concealed from reproach, giving him a share like the swift steed Etasha.

2.19.6 For his charioteer Kutsa he subdued Shushna, without vigor, and Kuyava.For Divodasa, Indra broke apart Shambara's ninety-nine fortresses.

2.19.7 Thus we have spoken praise to you, Indra, striving ourselves for renown and prize.May we win the sevenfold gift as we hasten, never bowing to the blow of the godless foe.

2.19.8 Thus the Gritsamadas, warrior, fashioned new hymns for you, hungry for aid and wise in their ways.Devoted to prayer, may they gain from you, Indra, fresh nourishment, strength, safe dwelling, and joy.

2.19.9 Now may your generous gift, Indra, yield the singer a chosen blessing.Give to the singers; let our share not fail. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.20 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 3 Viraj-rupa.

2.20.1 We bring you our strength, Indra; know us well, as a man eager for victory brings his chariot.Praising, pondering wisely, seeking the grace of men like you.

2.20.2 You guard us, Indra, your own people who seek you, with help that is yours.You are the protector of the giver; so the wise man who comes to you is sheltered.

2.20.3 May Indra, our youthful, much-invoked friend, be men's kindly guardian.With aid may he lead the singer, the worshiper, the cook of offerings, and the praiser.

2.20.4 I praise that Indra, I sing of him in whom the ancients grew strong and prevailed.As he comes, may he fulfill the longing for riches of the new man devoted to prayer.

2.20.5 Pleased by the songs of the Angirases, Indra, the inspired one, struck forth seeking a way.By the sun he stole the dawns; praised, he shattered even the ancient foundations of the strong one.

2.20.6 He is the god renowned by the name of Indra, risen high, most wonderful to mankind.Strong in his own nature, he brought down the head of the Dasa who vaunted himself.

2.20.7 Indra, Vritra's killer, fortress-breaker, drove apart the dark-born Dasa women.He brought forth land and waters for Manu, and always strengthened the sacrificer's song.

2.20.8 To that strong Indra the gods gave perpetual power in the winning of waters.When they set the mace in his arms, he struck the Dasyus and broke down their iron fortresses.

2.20.9 Now may your generous gift, Indra, yield the singer a chosen blessing.Give to the singers; let our share not fail. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.21 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verse 6 Trishtubh.

2.21.1 To the winner of all, of wealth, of sunlight, of lasting victory, of men and fertile land;To the winner of horses, cows, and waters, bring coveted soma to worshipful Indra.

2.21.2 To the surpassing one, the breaker, the conqueror, the unconquered, the enduring, the maker;To the mighty singer, the bearer no one can cross, the ever-victorious Indra, speak your homage.

2.21.3 Ever victorious, consuming the peoples, overpowering men, shaking foes, a fighter nurtured by delight;Gathering all, prevailing, renowned among the clans: I tell the deeds of Indra's courage.

2.21.4 Unrepelled bull, brandishing his weapon, profound, towering, his wisdom beyond all measure;Urging the poor, crushing the hardened foe, Indra, honored by sacrifice, brought forth dawn and sunlight.

2.21.5 Through sacrifice the active ones found the path; the eager, wise seers sent forth their thoughts.Seeking cows, seated to the sound of praise, they turned to Indra and gained their treasures.

2.21.6 Indra, give us the finest treasures: insight and skill, a fortunate lot;The increase of wealth, safety for our bodies, sweetness of speech, and fair days.

Hymn 2.22 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Indra. Meter: Ashti; verses 2–3 Atishakvari; verse 4 Ashti or Atishakvari.

2.22.1 At the three Kadru vessels the mighty, fiercely strong one drank his fill of barley-mixed soma, pressed with Vishnu, as he wished.It filled him with joy for a great deed; vast and broad, the true drop, a god, joined the true god Indra.

2.22.2 Then, blazing with strength, he battled Krivi and filled both worlds with his might as he grew.He put one within his belly and overflowed the other; the true drop, a god, joined the true god Indra.

2.22.3 Born together with his wisdom, together with his strength, you grew; with your powers you grew, subduer of enemies, watching over peoples.You grant the singer desired wealth; the true drop, a god, joined the true god Indra.

2.22.4 That was your first ancient manly deed, Indra, dancer, famed in heaven:By the god's power you set the life-breath flowing, released the waters.With might he overcame all the godless; the hundred-powered one found strength and found nourishment.

Hymn 2.23 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Brihaspati; verses 1, 5, 9, 11, 17, 19 Brahmanaspati. Meter: Jagati; verses 15, 19 Trishtubh.

2.23.1 We call you, lord of hosts, leader of hosts, seer among seers, greatest in renown.Eldest king of prayers, Brahmanaspati, hear us and take your seat with your aid among us.

2.23.2 Even the gods, discerning Brihaspati, have gained their sacrificial portion of your divine power.Like the sun whose light brings morning, you are the begetter of all sacred prayers.

2.23.3 Driving off assailants and darkness, you mount the radiant chariot of Truth.Brihaspati, terrible, crushing enemies, killing demons, breaking cattle pens, finding the sunlight.

2.23.4 By your good guidance you lead and protect the one who gives to you; no distress reaches him.You scorch the enemies of prayer and awaken wrath against them, Brihaspati: such is your greatness.

2.23.5 No harm nor evil from any quarter, no enemy nor deceiver can overcome the oneWhom you protect as watchful herdsman, Brahmanaspati: you drive every treachery away from him.

2.23.6 You are our guardian, maker of paths, discerning one; with hymns we honor your ordinance.Brihaspati, let the man who plans treachery against us perish by his own ill-starred designs.

2.23.7 And if a hostile mortal, a wolf howling from the heights, harms us though we are innocent,Turn him away from our path, Brihaspati; make our way smooth to this feast of the gods.

2.23.8 We call on you as protector of our bodies, our defender, advocate who cares for us.Brihaspati, put down those who revile the gods; let the evildoers not attain the higher blessing.

2.23.9 Through you, our good increaser, Brahmanaspati, may we mortals obtain desirable riches.Crush the worthless enemies who assail us, whether far off or near.

2.23.10 With you as ally, filling us and bringing gain, Brihaspati, we attain the highest vigor.Let no spiteful schemer have power over us; may we cross beyond him with good songs and thoughts.

2.23.11 Unrepelled bull, entering the battle, burning away the foe, victorious in combat,You are true, Brahmanaspati, punisher even of the fierce one raging in his strength.

2.23.12 If one with godless mind means us harm, thinking himself mighty and wishing to kill,Brihaspati, let not his blow reach us; bring low the wrath of that aggressive evildoer.

2.23.13 Summoned to battles, approached with reverence, coming to contests, winning prize after prize,Brihaspati has scattered every assault of grasping enemies like chariots cast aside.

2.23.14 With your fiercest heat scorch the demons who revile you though your valor is plain.Reveal what is worthy of song in you, Brihaspati; crush the deceivers on every side.

2.23.15 Brihaspati, when your glorious wisdom shines among men, surpassing the noble,When the power born of Truth blazes out, place that shining treasure among us.

2.23.16 Do not hand us over to thieves, our foes who plot treachery and covet our food.They wage war upon the gods and have a divided heart, Brihaspati; they know no end to their chant.

2.23.17 For Tvashtri, the sage, fashioned you beyond all beings, chant after chant.Brahmanaspati, the debt-collector, slayer of deceit, you uphold mighty Truth.

2.23.18 The mountain split before your splendor when you opened the enclosure of cows, Angirasa.With Indra your ally, Brihaspati, you thrust forth the flood of waters wrapped in darkness.

2.23.19 Brahmanaspati, guide this hymn; take heed and give life to our offspring.All that the gods protect is blessed. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

2.24.1 Accept this offering, you who hold power; with a new, great hymn we worship you.Let your praising friend find favor, generous Brihaspati; aid us and inspire our thought.

2.24.2 With his force he bowed what would not bend and in anger split apart Shambara's strongholds.Brahmanaspati moved what could not move and entered the wealth-bearing mountain.

2.24.3 That deed fit for the god of gods: they broke the firm enclosures and shattered the fortified walls.By prayer he drove forth the cows, broke Vala, hid the dark, revealed the sunlight.

2.24.4 Brahmanaspati broke through with his strength to the stone-mouthed well that streams with honey.All those who see the sunlight drank from it and together drew from the deep fountain.

2.24.5 Since ancient times those beings of yours have come to be, and years have opened your doors.As they move without effort, Brahmanaspati makes one sign after another manifest today.

2.24.6 Pressing on, they reached the Panis' treasure hidden in a distant cave.These knowing ones saw through the falsehood; back they came, and rose into sight again.

2.24.7 Faithful to Truth, the wise saw through the falsehood and returned from that place to the great road.With their arms they blew fire into the stone; no one else could do it, for the others abandoned him.

2.24.8 With Truth-strung bow and swift arrows, Brahmanaspati reaches whatever he desires.His arrows fly true, keen-eared, visible to men, their eyes upon mankind.

2.24.9 He gathers and he separates; he stands foremost and is well praised in battle, Brahmanaspati.When the watchful one brings the prize with his thought, the sun shines bright upon the treasure.

2.24.10 Broad, powerful, the first gifts of Brihaspati, rich in rain, are easily discovered.These are the victories of the longing, vigorous one, by which both peoples enjoy his bounty.

2.24.11 In the lower realm you are everywhere mighty; great in strength, you have grown delightful.The god spread wide before the gods, Brahmanaspati, encompassing all things.

2.24.12 Every truth belongs to you two, generous ones; even the waters do not transgress your ordinance.Indra and Brahmanaspati, come to our oblation as a yoked racehorse comes to food.

2.24.13 Even the most eager bearers hear him; the eloquent sage brings riches by his thought.He subdues stubborn hatred and claims its due: Brahmanaspati is the victor in battle.

2.24.14 Brahmanaspati's true anger acted as he wished, when he was about to perform his mighty deed.He drove forth the cows and divided heaven; like a vast current his strength streamed abroad.

2.24.15 Brahmanaspati, let us always ride in the well-guided chariot of your vigorous riches.Add heroes to our heroes, you who have power, if by prayer you heed my summons.

2.24.16 Brahmanaspati, guide this hymn; take heed and give life to our offspring.All that the gods protect is blessed. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

2.25.1 Kindling fire, he will conquer his foes; with prayer fashioned and oblation offered, he will grow strong.He passes from birth to birth beyond them, each one Brahmanaspati makes his ally.

2.25.2 With heroes he conquers hostile heroes, and spreads his wealth in cows; he wakes to understanding himself.His child and children's children flourish, each one Brahmanaspati makes his ally.

2.25.3 Like a rushing river in his work, he sweeps against the treacherous, as a bull attacks the gelded herd.He cannot be turned back, any more than the course of fire, each one Brahmanaspati makes his ally.

2.25.4 For him the heavens pour down unceasing; with his comrades he goes first to win the cows.His force unbroken, he strikes in strength, each one Brahmanaspati makes his ally.

2.25.5 For him all rivers thunder; they establish many unbroken shelters.He prospers, favored in the gods' good will, each one Brahmanaspati makes his ally.

Hymn 2.26 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Brahmanaspati. Meter: Jagati.

2.26.1 The upright one who longs to worship will overcome his enemies; the god-loving man prevails against the godless.Well guarded, the sacrificer prevails in strife; he divides the feast from the one who offers none.

2.26.2 Sacrifice, hero; set your heart upon the worshipers; turn your mind to good in the struggle against Vritra.Prepare the oblation so that you may be fortunate; we choose Brahmanaspati's help.

2.26.3 He gains prizes with his people and clan, his birth and sons, his warriors;He who reverently serves Brahmanaspati, father of the gods, with faithful mind and oblation.

2.26.4 The man who serves him with ghee-rich offerings Brahmanaspati leads forward.Protecting him from distress and harm, this wondrous one makes room for him even in a narrow place.

Hymn 2.27 — Seer: Kurma Gartsamada or Gritsamada. Deity: the Adityas. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.27.1 These ghee-streaming songs I offer with my tongue to the Adityas, kings since ancient days.Let Mitra, Aryaman, Bhaga, Varuna of many births, Daksha, and Amsha hear us.

2.27.2 May Mitra, Aryaman, and Varuna, of one intent, accept this praise of mine today:The Adityas, pure, cleansed as by flowing water, without deceit, faultless, unharmed.

2.27.3 Those Adityas are vast and deep, not to be cheated, watching the deceitful, of wide vision.They see what is crooked and what is right within; even the farthest things belong to the kings.

2.27.4 The Adityas uphold what moves and what stands still, gods guarding the entire world.Far-seeing, they keep watch on sovereign power, faithful to Truth and exacting every debt.

2.27.5 Adityas, may I know your aid, Aryaman, even amid fear, and know delight.Under your guidance, Mitra and Varuna, may I pass around evils as around deep pits.

2.27.6 Your path is good, Aryaman and Mitra, without sharp stones, Varuna, smooth and straight.Lead us along it, Adityas, and grant us shelter beyond all injury.

2.27.7 May Aditi, mother of kings, and Aryaman bring us safely through hostilities on easy paths.May we, rich in warriors and unharmed, enter the wide shelter of Mitra and Varuna.

2.27.8 They uphold three earths and three heavens, and three ordinances stand within their assembly.Through Truth, Adityas, your greatness is mighty; beautiful is this, Aryaman, Varuna, Mitra.

2.27.9 They uphold the three bright spaces of heaven: golden, pure, washed by the current.Never dozing, never closing their eyes, never deceived, they give wide praise to the upright mortal.

2.27.10 Varuna, you are king of all, of gods and mortals alike, sovereign lord.Grant us a hundred autumns to see; may we reach the full span of life assigned to us.

2.27.11 I cannot distinguish right from left, Adityas, nor east from west.Though immature and though wise, Vasus, led by you may I attain the fearless light.

2.27.12 The man who gives to the kings, whose way is Truth, whom enduring plenty makes strong,Rides foremost with wealth in his chariot, generous and praised in assemblies.

2.27.13 Pure, with flowing waters and good pasture, unharmed, he lives rich in years and brave sons.None strikes him, near or far, who walks under the Adityas' guidance.

2.27.14 Aditi, Mitra, Varuna, be gracious for whatever wrong we may have done against you.May I find the spacious, fearless light, Indra; let not long shadows come upon us.

2.27.15 Both worlds together nourish him; blessed, he fosters the name of rain from heaven.He rides victorious through both settlements in battle; both sides go well for him.

2.27.16 Your snares, worshipful Adityas, spread for the deceiving enemy—Like a charioteer may I drive beyond them and remain unhurt in your broad shelter.

2.27.17 Let me never know want, Varuna, while dear to the generous giver of abundant gifts.King, let me never fall away from easily governed riches. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.28 — Seer: Kurma Gartsamada or Gritsamada. Deity: Varuna; verse 10 dispels bad dreams. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.28.1 May everything come under the greatness of this inspired Aditya, sovereign king.I ask for the splendid fame of generous Varuna, the god who gladdens men at sacrifice.

2.28.2 May we be fortunate within your ordinance, Varuna, thoughtful as we sing your praise,Meeting the cow-rich dawns like fires burning on from day to day.

2.28.3 Let us abide in your shelter, Varuna, leader of many heroes, worthy of wide praise.You sons of Aditi, undefeated gods, forgive us for the sake of friendship.

2.28.4 The Aditya released the rivers, bearers of the world; they flow in Varuna's Truth.They do not tire or cease, but fly swiftly through the expanse like birds.

2.28.5 Loosen my offense as one unfastens a tether; let me prosper, Varuna, in your spring of Truth.Do not cut the thread while I weave my thought; do not let the measure of my work fail before its time.

2.28.6 Take fear away from me, Varuna; sovereign faithful to Truth, embrace me.Free me from distress as a calf from its rope; without you I cannot rule even the blinking of an eye.

2.28.7 Do not strike us, Varuna, with your weapons, which punish those who sin against your will, divine lord.Let us not go into exile from the light; undo the assaults against us, that we may live.

2.28.8 Long ago we spoke homage to you, Varuna; now and hereafter we shall speak it, nobly born one.For in you your ordinances stand unshaken, like mountains, unconquerable one.

2.28.9 Drive away the debts I owe, and those others have incurred; do not let me pay, king, for another's deed.Many dawns have yet to break; through them, Varuna, guide us while we live.

2.28.10 If one who is my companion or friend, king, tells fearful me of terror in a dream,Or a thief or wolf seeks to harm us, protect us from him, Varuna.

2.28.11 Let me never know want, Varuna, while dear to the generous giver of abundant gifts.King, let me never fall away from easily governed riches. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

2.29.1 Adityas who keep your ordinances, swift ones, put far from me the hidden sin, like a secret wound.Varuna, Mitra, gods who hear, knowing what is good, I call on you for help.

2.29.2 You gods are our insight, you our strength; keep all hostilities far away.You who forgive, grant forgiveness, be gracious to us today and in days to come.

2.29.3 What more should we do for you, Vasus, than the old bond of friendship?Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, Indra and Maruts, bring us well-being.

2.29.4 O gods, you yourselves are kin; have mercy on me as I implore you.Let not your chariot stray midway from Truth; may we never tire of your friendship.

2.29.5 I alone have cried out for many sins, when you disciplined me as a father does a gambler.Keep the snares, keep the evils far away, gods; do not seize me like a mother bird with her chick.

2.29.6 Come close today, worshipful ones; afraid, I shall lay bare my heart to you.Save us from the wolf's oppressive jaws; save us from the pit of the trap, worshipful ones.

2.29.7 Let me never know want, Varuna, while dear to the generous giver of abundant gifts.King, let me never fall away from easily governed riches. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

2.30.1 The waters do not rest for Savitar, the god who makes Truth, or for Indra the serpent-slayer.Day after day the dark turns round; how long until their first outpouring?

2.30.2 His mother told the knowing one of him who would bring a weapon against Vritra.Clearing paths to his pleasure, day after day the roaring waters reach their goal.

2.30.3 He rose upright in midair and carried his weapon against Vritra.Clothed in mist, the raging one approached him; Indra with the sharp weapon overcame his foe.

2.30.4 Brihaspati, strike with scorching stone the wolfish warriors of the demon.As you struck in daring long ago, so, Indra, strike our enemy today.

2.30.5 Cast down the stone from the height of heaven, the one with which, in rapture, you crushed the foe.For our children's gain, for abundant offspring, Indra, grant us our share of cows.

2.30.6 For you two bring forth the wisdom you desire, champions of the humble sacrificer.Indra and Soma, aid us; in this place of fear make room for us.

2.30.7 Let me not say, from darkness, weariness, or exhaustion, “Do not press the soma.”May one fill my need, give to me, heed me, and come with cows to me as I press the soma.

2.30.8 Sarasvati, help us; bold with Maruts, you overcome our foes.Indra strikes down that raging bull of the Shandikas, swelling with might.

2.30.9 Whoever plots to strike us secretly or openly, pierce him with your sharpened weapon.Brihaspati, defeat our enemies with your arms; king, encircle the treacherous destroyer.

2.30.10 With our heroes, warrior, work the heroic deeds that are yours to do.Let our enemies linger smoldering after their defeat; slay them and bring us their treasures.

2.31.1 Mitra and Varuna, guard our chariot, joined by the Adityas, Rudras, and Vasus.They fly outward like birds from a rock, eager for renown, bristling, dwelling in the woods.

2.31.2 United gods, help our chariot, racing to victory among the peoples.The swift ones cross the expanse on foot, striking with their hands upon the high ground of earth.

2.31.3 May all-seeing Indra, wise with his Marut host from heaven,Stand by our chariot with guileless aid for great gain, for winning the prize.

2.31.4 May Tvashtri, god and companion of the world, with his wives drive forward our chariot;Ila, Bhaga, Brihaddiva, both worlds, Pushan, Purandhi, the Ashvins, and the two lords.

2.31.5 And those two blessed goddesses, Dawn and Night, facing one another, who quicken all that moves:Earth, I praise you both with new words, for you spread the threefold span of life over all that stands.

2.31.6 And I call on your praised ones, as did the eager seers: Ahir Budhnya and Aja Ekapad;Trita, the Ribhus, Savitar grant us delight, and swift-moving Apam Napat bless our thought.

2.31.7 I long for these uplifted songs for you, worshipful ones, fashioned anew by men;Seeking fame and longing for the prize, let me attain insight as a steed reaches its chariot.

2.32.1 Heaven and Earth, guard this speech of mine, as I seek Truth and seek to win your favor.Your lifetime reaches farther: here I set your greatness before me, seeking wealth and praising you.

2.32.2 Do not let a hidden enemy of man strike us or deceive us; keep us from these misfortunes.Do not dissolve our friendship; know it. With minds set on your favor we seek that very thing.

2.32.3 With a kindly mind bring quick help, the ever-flowing cow full of milk.With my feet and with my voice I urge you on, swift winner, much-invoked one, every day.

2.32.4 With fine praise I call on Raka, easy to summon; may the blessed one hear and heed us.May she sew her work with an unbroken needle and give us a hero praised in song, generous a hundredfold.

2.32.5 With those beautiful favors of yours, Raka, by which you give riches to the worshiper,Come to us today, glad of heart, blessed one, bringing increase a thousandfold.

2.32.6 Sinivali of broad braids, sister of the gods,Accept the poured oblation, goddess, and grant us children.

2.32.7 She has fine arms, fine fingers, bears children easily and bears many.To her, mistress of the people, to Sinivali, pour the oblation.

2.32.8 To Gungu, to Sinivali, to Raka and Sarasvati,I call to Indrani for aid and Varunani for well-being.

Hymn 2.33 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Rudra. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.33.1 Father of the Maruts, let your favor come to us; do not drive us from the sight of the sun.May our warrior endure among the horses; may we flourish with offspring, Rudra.

2.33.2 With your most healing remedies, Rudra, may I live a hundred winters.Drive far from us hatred, distress, and diseases in every direction.

2.33.3 You are the most glorious of all born beings, Rudra, strongest of the strong, mace-armed one.Carry us safely beyond distress; fend off all assaults of evil.

2.33.4 Let us not anger you, Rudra, with our homage or ill praise or our invocation, bull.Restore our heroes with your medicines; I hear that you are foremost of all physicians.

2.33.5 May I turn aside Rudra with the songs of one who calls him with offerings.May the brown one, soft of belly and lovely of lip, never turn against us in his anger.

2.33.6 May the bull with the Maruts cheer me as I plead for a life extended.May I reach a shade from burning heat, unscathed, and seek the favor of Rudra.

2.33.7 Where is your hand of mercy, Rudra, your healing, soothing hand?Bull, who removes the harm sent by gods, show me forgiveness now.

2.33.8 For the brown bull shining white I send forth a great, magnificent praise.With homage we honor the blazing one and sing the radiant name of Rudra.

2.33.9 Firm-limbed, many-formed, fierce, the brown one shines with brilliant gold ornaments.Sovereignty over this vast world can never be taken from Rudra.

2.33.10 Worthy one, you bear arrows and bow, and a golden necklace of many beautiful forms.Worthy one, you govern this whole vast world; there is none mightier than you, Rudra.

2.33.11 Praise the renowned one who dwells in his chariot, young and fierce as a dangerous beast.Be gracious to your singer, Rudra, when praised; let your hosts strike another, not us.

2.33.12 Like a child bowing before his father, I bow to you, Rudra, as you approach.I praise you, lord of the good, generous giver; when praised, grant us remedies.

2.33.13 The pure medicines of you Maruts, the most healing and most gladdening, strong ones,Which our father Manu chose: these gifts of healing and relief from Rudra I desire.

2.33.14 May Rudra's missile go around us, may the mighty one's great evil intention pass by.Lower your firm bow for our generous patrons; bountiful one, be gracious to our children and descendants.

2.33.15 Thus, brown and discerning bull, be a god who does not rage or strike.Hear our calling here, Rudra. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 2.34 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Jagati; verse 15 Trishtubh.

2.34.1 Streaming rain, the bold strong Maruts blaze in might, terrifying as wild beasts.Shining like fires, scattering dust, they blow the storm and release the cows.

2.34.2 With their spears and collars they glitter like the heavens; like cloudless rain they flash.For you, gold-chested Maruts, Rudra the bull was born from Prishni's shining udder.

2.34.3 They sprinkle their horses like racing steeds and speed with swift ones, their ears alert to the roar.Golden-lipped Maruts, you shake, united in purpose, and ride with your dappled mares to food.

2.34.4 All beings have grown strong on your food; you give swiftly and bring friendship forever.With dappled steeds and unexhausted bounty, you sit at the yoke, straight in your ways.

2.34.5 With kindling flames, with rain-bearing cows whose udders swell, bright-speared on trackless paths,Come like swans to your resting places, Maruts of one mind, for honeyed rapture.

2.34.6 Come, Maruts of one mind, to our prayers and pressings, like fame coming to men.Fill the cow's udder like a racing mare; make the singer's vision beautiful with prizes.

2.34.7 Maruts, give us that chariot rich in prizes and that daily drink that awakens prayer;Give sustenance to singers in their struggles, a gift of insight and unharmed, unconquerable strength.

2.34.8 When the gold-chested Maruts yoke their horses to chariots, generous as Bhaga,The cow swells with milk in her stalls, yielding abundant food to those who offer oblations.

2.34.9 If a mortal sets wolfish enmity against us, Maruts, protect us from the enemy's harm, Vasus.Turn him back by your burning powers; Rudras, strike that man down with a fatal blow.

2.34.10 Wonderful is your journey, Maruts, when your kinsmen draw milk from Prishni's udder.Or when the unassailable sons of Rudra bring Trita youth, though reviled, in place of age.

2.34.11 We call you, great Maruts, in the company of swift Vishnu, when we begin the offering.Golden, prominent, freely giving, we who cherish prayer ask you for glorious riches.

2.34.12 They, the first ten singers, bore forth the sacrifice; let them spur us at each breaking of dawn.Like Dawn unveiling nights with her red rays, they uncover with great pure light and floods of cattle.

2.34.13 Those Rudras grew strong in Truth's dwelling with ruddy adornments like earthly robes.Clouding the sky with their utmost vigor, they took on a bright and beautiful hue.

2.34.14 Seeking their great shelter for aid, we approach them with reverent praise.It was they whom Trita turned to help, like five priests summoned from afar.

2.34.15 The help with which you carry the weak man beyond distress, with which you free the singer from abuse—Let that help come near, Maruts; let your gracious thought come like a lowing cow.

Hymn 2.35 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Apam Napat. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.35.1 Seeking the prize I have released my speech toward him; may the river-born one delight in my songs.May swift-moving Apam Napat make us fair to behold; surely he rejoices in them.

2.35.2 Let us speak this hymn, finely fashioned from our own hearts; perhaps he will know it.By his divine greatness Apam Napat begot all beings worthy of honor.

2.35.3 Some rivers go together, others flow toward them; they fill the same wide basin.The pure waters surrounded him, pure and radiant, Apam Napat.

2.35.4 The smiling young waters circle the youth, washing him clean.Bright with shining colors, he glows amid the waters, rich in ghee, though without fuel.

2.35.5 Three goddesses, unshaken women, prepare food for this god.They stream toward him as though made for him, and he drinks the first waters' sweetness.

2.35.6 Here is the birth of the horse and of this sunlight; protect the generous from deceit and injury.Let the unassailable one in raw fortresses be beyond the reach of enemies and falsehood.

2.35.7 In his own house is his cow rich in milk; he swells with his own nourishment and eats the fair food.He, Apam Napat, grows strong amid the waters and shines for the one who honors him, granting riches.

2.35.8 Pure in the waters with a divine brightness, faithful to Truth, he shines far and ceaselessly.Other worlds are his branches, spreading forth, and plants and their offspring too.

2.35.9 Apam Napat stands upright in the lap of the winding waters, clothed in lightning.Bearing his highest greatness, the great golden-colored rivers circle around him.

2.35.10 Golden of form, golden of face, golden in color is Apam Napat.Seated in his golden birthplace, he receives food from the givers of gold.

2.35.11 That face of his and his lovely secret name grow strong amid the waters.The young women kindle him; golden-hued ghee is his food.

2.35.12 For friendship with the youngest among many, let us worship him with sacrifice, reverence, and oblations.I wipe clean his summit and nourish him with kindling; I bring him food and surround him with song.

2.35.13 The bull begot a child among them; the child drinks from them and they lick him.Apam Napat, whose color never fades, has entered here in another's form.

2.35.14 There in the highest dwelling he stands, gleaming always on paths without dust.The great waters carry ghee as food to their son, and fly about him in their own garments.

2.35.15 Agni, I have gained safe dwelling for the people and good praise for our generous patrons.All that the gods protect is blessed. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

2.36.2 Blended with sacrifices, with dappled mares and spears, bright ones, beloved on your radiant journey,Seat yourselves on Bharata's ritual grass, sons of heaven; drink soma from the Potar, Maruts.

2.36.4 Bring the gods here, inspired Hotar, worship them; eagerly take your seat in the three places.Receive the honeyed soma brought forward; drink from the Agnidh, drink your fill of your portion.

2.36.5 This drink of yours increases the manly power of your body, the strength and vigor laid in your arms from of old.For you it was pressed and brought, generous Indra; drink your fill of it from the Brahman priest.

2.36.6 Accept our sacrifice; heed my summons, as the Hotar sits chanting the ancient invocations.Come to the oblation, two kings, with reverence; drink the honeyed soma from the Prashastar.

2.37.1 Delight in the drink from the Hotar as you please; the officiants desire to pour you a full cup.Bring it to him, for he is the giver of what you seek; drink soma from the Hotar, Dravinodas, with the Seasons.

2.37.2 The one I called before I call again: he is the one to invoke, the giver who rules by name.Drink the honeyed soma prepared by the officiants, from the Potar, Dravinodas, with the Seasons.

2.37.3 May the bearers who carry you rejoice; come unharmed and stand strong, lord of the woods.Bold one, called on with fervor, drink soma from the Neshtar, Dravinodas, with the Seasons.

2.37.4 He drank from the Hotar and from the Potar too; from the Neshtar he enjoyed the food set out.Let immortal Dravinodas drink the unspilled fourth vessel, the vessel of the giver of riches.

2.37.5 Yoke here today your man-bearing chariot to bring you near, and unhitch it here.Mix the oblations with honey; come and drink soma, Ashvins rich in prizes.

2.37.6 Delight in the kindling, Agni, delight in the offering, delight in the people's prayer and noble praise.Great Vasu, with every Season feed all the eager gods the oblation they desire.

Hymn 2.38 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: Savitar. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.38.1 God Savitar has risen to set things in motion, bearing out the ancient work of the waters.Now he apportions treasure to the gods, then grants the sacrificer his share in well-being.

2.38.2 For the awakening of all, the god stretches his broad hands high in the air.Even the waters obey his ordinance; even this wind rests in the wide expanse.

2.38.3 Now he unharnesses his swift steeds and halts even the traveler on the road.Even the serpent's winding course has ceased; night comes according to Savitar's ordinance.

2.38.4 Again the weaving woman wraps her stretched-out web; halfway through her work the wise one lays down her labor.He rises to summon, dividing the seasons: tireless god Savitar has arrived.

2.38.5 In every dwelling the blaze of fire spreads; each living thing settles in its home.The mother gives her eldest son his portion, following the sign sent by Savitar.

2.38.6 The wanderer bent on winning has returned; all creatures on the move long for home.Leaving his unfinished task, each traveler comes back by the divine Savitar's ordinance.

2.38.7 Wild beasts spread through dry lands to find the portion you placed for them in waters;Birds take to the woods: none violates these ordinances of god Savitar.

2.38.8 Varuna goes to his watery resting place at a blink, undisturbed, moving gently.Every bird and beast goes to its fold; Savitar has assigned their places of birth.

2.38.9 Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, and Rudra do not break his ordinance,Nor do our enemies: with homage I call on god Savitar for this well-being.

2.38.10 May Bhaga, insight, prize-winning Purandhi, Narashamsa, lord of women, guard us.May we gather desirable riches and be dear to god Savitar.

2.38.11 Let that desired bounty you grant from sky, waters, and earth come to us;Let it bless your singers and companions, Savitar, and the singer who praises you widely.

Hymn 2.39 — Seer: Gritsamada, Angirasa Shaunhotra, later Bhargava Shaunaka. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

2.39.1 You sing for this purpose like the pressing stones; like vultures you seek a treasure-bearing tree;Like priests commanding hymns at the gathering, like envoys carrying people's summons far and wide.

2.39.2 You travel at dawn like heroes in chariots; like twin Yamas you follow beauty.Like two women adorning their bodies, like a married pair among people, wise in works.

2.39.3 Come first to us like horns, like two hooves treading firmly on the earth.Like paired waterfowl at dawn's return, come near, powerful ones, like chariot riders.

2.39.4 Carry us across like a boat; be like a yoke, a wheel hub, its axle and its rim.Like dogs guard our bodies from harm; like crutches, protect us when we stumble.

2.39.5 Come near like an untiring wind, like a river's current, like eyes with sight.Like hands bring comfort to the body; like feet lead us toward a better lot.

2.39.6 Like lips that speak sweetly for the mouth, like breasts fill us with milk for life.Like noses guard our bodies; like ears hear us well.

2.39.7 Like hands grant us strength; like earth bring all the spaces into accord for us.Ashvins, sharpen these songs that long for you, as with a whetstone one sharpens an axe.

2.40.2 The gods welcomed these two at their birth, and the two concealed the unwanted darkness.Through Soma and Pushan, Indra brought the ripe into being among the raw, the cattle into the cows.

2.40.3 Soma and Pushan, you drive a chariot spanning the heavens, seven-wheeled, reaching everywhere;Changing its course, yoked by thought, strong ones, you drive that chariot with five reins.

2.40.4 One made his dwelling high in heaven; the other on earth and in the middle air.Open for us the hub of rich and manifold wealth, abundant in food and growth.

2.40.5 The one begot all beings; the other passes over all, watching them.Soma and Pushan, guard my thought; with you two may we conquer every battle.

2.40.6 May Pushan who reaches everywhere quicken my thought; may Soma, lord of wealth, give riches.May unconquered goddess Aditi guard us. May we speak greatly in assembly, rich in brave sons.

Hymn 3.1 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.1.1 Agni, you made me soma's mighty carrier to serve at the sacred gathering.Toward the gods I set my song in motion; for peace, Agni, accept my body.

3.1.2 We have set the sacrifice on its way: let our song grow as we serve Agni with kindling and reverence.The sages, masters of heaven's gatherings, seek the path to strength even for the wise.

3.1.3 Wise and pure in skill, a kindred spirit of heaven and earth by birth, he brought delight.The gods found beautiful Agni among the waters, in the labor of the sisters.

3.1.4 The seven great ones nourished him, blessed, born white and red in his greatness.They cried out around him like a newborn child; the gods fostered Agni at his birth.

3.1.5 Stretching through space with shining limbs, refining his wisdom with the sages' purifying filters,He clothes himself in flame, circles through the waters, and fashions unfailing, vast splendors.

3.1.6 Unharmed, the great daughters of heaven wandered roaring, clothed yet naked of flame.Ever youthful here, seven voices of one womb bore a single child.

3.1.7 Spread wide, gathered in all shapes within the birthplace of ghee, in the streaming of honey,Here the swelling cows stood; the wondrous one's two vast mothers came together.

3.1.8 Taking shape, son of strength, he flashed out, wearing brilliant forms in his ardor.Streams of honey and ghee pour where the bull has grown by sacred song.

3.1.9 At birth he knew even his father's udder; he let its currents loose, and the milk cows too.Walking hidden with kindly companions, he was no longer hidden by the great daughters of heaven.

3.1.10 He bore his father's and his begetter's child, alone suckling the many swelling mothers.The two kindred wives of the pure bull—guard them both for him among men.

3.1.11 Great in the wide, unobstructed space he grew; many glorious waters gathered around Agni.In Truth's womb Agni the householder lay amid his kindred sisters' work.

3.1.12 Brown like a wild beast in the struggle of the mighty, bright-faced, he longs to see the son.The begetter brought forth the cattle; Agni, child of the waters, strongest of men, was born great.

3.1.13 The blessed forests gave birth to the lovely, many-formed child of waters and plants.Even the gods came together in thought to worship the mighty one born most worthy of praise.

3.1.14 Great rays, bright as lightning, attend Agni whose face is light.Growing in secret in his own dwelling, milking immortality from the boundless expanse.

3.1.15 I, the sacrificer, praise you with oblations; seeking favor I praise your friendship and good will.Measure out the gods' help to your singer, and guard us with the faces of our household fire.

3.1.16 Dwelling under your good guidance, Agni, storing up every treasure,Rich in seed, flourishing in renown, may we overcome the godless who desire battle.

3.1.17 You became the gods' bright sign, Agni, gladdening, knowing every poet's work.You have lighted mortals, householder; like a charioteer you follow the gods and carry out their will.

3.1.18 The immortal king sat in mortals' houses to conduct their sacred gatherings.His face gleaming with ghee, Agni shone far and wide, knowing every poet's work.

3.1.19 Come to us with gracious friendships, great one, running with mighty forms of help.Make us rich in abundant wealth that crosses every barrier; grant us a share of eloquent, splendid fame.

3.1.20 These are your ancient births, Agni; to the primeval one I have told of new ones.We have prepared these great pressings for the bull, placed in every birth, Jatavedas.

3.1.21 Set within birth after birth, Jatavedas burns unceasingly, kindled by the Vishvamitras.May we remain in the worthy god's favor and in his blessed kindness of heart.

3.1.22 Set this sacrifice of ours among the gods, mighty wise one, with generous heart.Bring our great nourishment, Hotar; Agni, win us mighty treasures through sacrifice.

3.1.23 Agni, bring the one who calls you Ila's abundance and the generous gift of cows forever.Let us have a son whose descendants multiply; Agni, let this be your favor toward us.

Hymn 3.2 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Jagati.

3.2.1 For Vaishvanara, who grows through Truth, we fashion thought as pure as ghee for Agni.He is priest both for man and singer; thought shapes him as the craftsman's axe shapes a chariot.

3.2.2 At birth he made both worlds shine, and became his mothers' son, deserving praise.Agni, bearer of offerings, ageless, bringing joy, unconquerable guest of clans, shining with treasure.

3.2.3 With discerning thoughts the gods brought Agni into being by the wisdom of skill, within its great order.Radiant with vast light and splendor, I call him like a racehorse seeking victory.

3.2.4 Desiring the gift of the gladdening one, we choose that desirable, inexhaustible prize of song:The Bhrigus' gift, the eager one of poetic wisdom, Agni glowing with celestial flame.

3.2.5 People who spread the ritual grass set Agni before them for favor, famed for winning prizes.With ladles raised they serve the radiant god of all, fierce one who completes the sacrifice and its work.

3.2.6 O pure-flamed Hotar, men who spread the grass attend your dwelling at sacrifice,Seeking worship and friendship; Agni, grant them treasure.

3.2.7 He filled the two worlds and great sunlight when the waters upheld him at birth.The inspired one is led around the rite, delightful as a racehorse led to win the prize.

3.2.8 Honor the giver of oblations, whose ritual succeeds; serve Jatavedas of the household.Agni, Truth's charioteer, vast and all-seeing, became the gods' priest set before them.

3.2.9 The deathless, eager ones purified the three kindling sticks of mighty, all-pervading Agni.One they placed among mortals for their enjoyment; the other two went to their kindred realm.

3.2.10 Men made the sage, lord of the clan, into human nourishment, as an axe is sharpened for its work.He visits heights and depths, longing for them; he holds the seed within these worlds.

3.2.11 Born within their bellies, he quickens them; a bull roaring like a lion in many-colored forms.Vaishvanara, immortal, wide of power, generously gives precious riches to the giver.

3.2.12 As in ancient days Vaishvanara climbed to the sky's summit, the back of heaven, gladdened by fine hymns.As before, he creates wealth for mankind, circling the common realm, awake and watchful.

3.2.13 The one faithful to Truth, worthy of sacrifice, seer worthy of praise, whom Matarishvan placed in heaven as a home,That fair-shining, golden-haired Agni we seek for fresh good fortune.

3.2.14 Pure in his course, swift and sunlight-seeing, heaven's beacon standing in the luminous realm, waking at dawn,Agni, highest summit of heaven, irresistible and mighty, we seek with homage for victory.

3.2.15 Gladdening Hotar, pure and free of guile, domestic god worthy of song and seeing all peoples,Beautiful to behold like a bright chariot, placed here by Manu, we seek him always for wealth.

Hymn 3.3 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Jagati.

3.3.1 For Vaishvanara, broad of strength, inspired men arrange offerings at the foundations to find a way.For immortal Agni serves the gods, and his ancient ordinances do not fail.

3.3.2 The wondrous messenger passes between both worlds, the Hotar seated, mankind's priest.With light he adorns his vast dwelling; Agni, rich in thought, goes at the gods' command.

3.3.3 The wise exalt Agni in their thoughts, beacon of sacrifices, accomplisher of the assembly.Their songs commit the works to him; in him the sacrificer seeks his blessings.

3.3.4 Father of sacrifices, lord of life, knower of the wise, Agni measures the singers' paths and visions.With his immense form he entered both worlds; widely beloved, the sage delights in his dwellings.

3.3.5 Bright Agni of the bright chariot, gold-ordained Vaishvanara, seated in the waters, finder of sunlight,Plunging swiftly, clothed in power, swift-moving: the gods set him here in beauty.

3.3.6 Agni with gods and human beings unfolds in thought a sacrifice of many forms.A charioteer moves between them, swift, master of the house, driving away curses through successful offerings.

3.3.7 Agni, grow old with long life and good offspring; swell with strength, shine upon us with food.Quicken our lives, wake to the great; you are the gods' wise seeker, wise among seers.

3.6.9 Come here with them in one chariot, Agni, or in separate cars, since horses are plentiful.Bring the thirty-three gods with their wives, each as is proper, and rejoice.

3.6.10 He is the Hotar for whom even the wide heaven and earth sing for increase at every sacrifice.They stand facing east at the rite, well shaped, faithful to Truth, in the Truth of him born of Truth.

3.7.5 They know the grace of the ruddy bull and delight under the tawny one's rule.Shining from heaven with brilliant light, they count Ila's song among their great company.

3.7.6 To both parents they proclaimed their cry and brought great strength to the two great ones.There the bull follows his own dwelling beyond night's covering, according to the singer's song.

3.26.6 Host by host and troop by troop, with lovely songs we seek Agni's brightness and the Maruts' power.On dappled steeds, with undiminished gifts, wise ones, they come to sacrifice in the gatherings.

3.26.7 I am Agni, Jatavedas by birth; ghee is my eye, immortality is in my mouth.I am the threefold light that measures space, unfailing heat; oblation is my name.

3.26.8 He purified the song with three filters, following its light with heart and mind.By his own powers he made the highest treasure; then he looked out over heaven and earth.

3.26.9 An undiminished fountain with a hundred streams, wise father of those who speak,The joyful friend in the lap of his two parents: may heaven and earth sustain him, truthful of speech.

3.27.1 Prize-seekers bright as day,Bearing oblations rich in ghee,He goes toward the gods seeking favor.

3.27.2 With song I praise discerning Agni,Who brings the sacrifice to fulfillment,Attentive, firm in thought.

3.27.3 Agni, may we gain your guidance,The god's prize-winning power;May we cross beyond hatred.

3.27.4 Pure Agni kindled at the riteIs worthy of praise;We seek the one whose hair is flame.

3.27.5 Broad in strength, immortal,Clothed in ghee, well offered to,Agni carries the rite's oblations.

3.27.6 Beset by trouble, ladles raised,The sacrificers in their thoughtMade Agni their source of help.

3.27.7 The immortal godly HotarComes first by his wondrous power,Impelled to the sacred gatherings.

3.27.8 The victor is set among prizes,Led forward at the rites;The sage brings sacrifice to fulfillment.

3.27.9 By thought he fashioned the excellent,Set the seed within all beings,Father of skill in his own person.

3.27.10 Ila set you in her chosen place,Agni, brilliantly lit,Born of strength and eager for wisdom.

3.27.11 In the work that joins to immortality,Inspired men kindle Agni,Untiring guide, with prizes.

3.27.12 I praise Agni, child of strength,Blazing in the rite toward heaven,Wise in the seer's art.

3.27.13 Praiseworthy, honored, visibleBeyond the darkness,Agni the bull is kindled.

3.28.2 The cake cooked for you, Agni,Has been prepared for you;Accept it, youngest one.

3.28.3 Agni, eat the offered cakeAt the pressing after the day:Son of strength, it is set at this rite.

3.28.4 At the midday pressing, Jatavedas, accept the cake here, inspired one.Wise men in their assemblies do not neglect this share of yours, great Agni.

Hymn 3.29 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Agni; verse 5 alternatively the officiants. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 1, 4, 10, 12 Anushtubh; verses 6, 11, 14, 15 Jagati.

3.29.1 Here is the lower fire stick;The kindling device is ready.Bring the mistress of the people here;Let us churn out Agni as of old.

3.29.2 Hidden in the two fire sticks, Jatavedas rests secure like a child within a pregnant woman.Day after day Agni must be honored by wakeful men bearing oblations.

3.29.3 Place the lower stick flat, discerning one; she has borne the vigorous one, swiftly brought forth.The red one raises his tuft; his power shines: Ila's son is born into understanding.

3.29.4 In Ila's place, aboveThe navel of the earth,We set you, Jatavedas, Agni,To bear our oblations.

3.29.5 Churn him out, men: the guileless, discerning, immortal seer of beautiful face.Bring forth Agni before us, the first beacon of sacrifice, gentle and good.

3.29.6 As their arms churn, he shines like a red racehorse in the woods.Bright on the Ashvins' path, untiring, he burns through stone and grass around him.

3.29.7 Newborn Agni shines, discerning, victorious, seer praised by seers, generous,Whom the gods placed at sacrifices as worthy of praise, all-knowing bearer of oblations.

3.29.8 Sit, knowing Hotar, in your own place; set the rite in the womb of good work.Agni, friendly to gods, worship them with oblation and give the sacrificer broad life.

3.29.9 Make the smoke rise, friends, like a bull; go unfailing toward the prize.This Agni wins battles, rich in heroes; with him the gods overcame the Dasyus.

3.29.10 This is your seasonal birthplace,From which you first shone at birth.Knowing it, take your seat, Agni,And then strengthen our songs.

3.29.11 In the womb he is called Tanunapat; when born, he becomes Narashamsa.When Matarishvan fashioned him in his mother, he became the wind's rush in his movement.

3.29.12 Well churned forth, well set in place,The wise one has been kindled.Agni, make our rite prosper;Worship the gods for the god-seeker.

3.29.13 Mortals have brought forth the immortal, tireless, swift, strong-jawed one.Ten virgin sisters, close together, seize the newborn male.

3.29.14 The sevenfold Hotar shone since ancient times, burning in his mother's lap, at her breast.He never sleeps, kindly day by day, born from the belly of the sovereign lord.

3.29.15 Armed against enemies, rushing like the Maruts, firstborn of prayer, they know all things.The Kushikas sent forth brilliant praise; each kindled Agni in his home.

3.29.16 When today at this sacrifice we chose you as Hotar, discerning one,You came firmly, expecting firm support; knowing all, come to our soma.

Hymn 3.30 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.30.1 Your soma-loving friends desire you; they press soma and place food before you.They bear the attacks of men: from you, Indra, comes every sign of hope.

3.30.2 Even the farthest reaches of space are not distant to you; come with your two bay horses, horse-lord.For the firm bull we have prepared the pressings, yoked the stones, and kindled the fire.

3.30.3 Indra of lovely lips, generous rescuer, great in his company, vastly active and just:When you, fierce one, have been obstructed among mortals, where are your heroic deeds, bull?

3.30.4 You alone dislodge the fixed things, roaming to strike down Vritras.Heaven, earth, and mountains stand like posts in obedience to your ordinance.

3.30.5 Even to both sides, much-invoked one, you alone spoke firm encouragement with your glories, Vritra-slayer.When you grasp even these boundless worlds, Indra, how small they seem to you, generous one!

3.30.6 Send forth your bay horses down the slope, Indra; send your mace out crushing enemies.Strike those facing you, those following, and those fleeing; make everything true and firmly set.

3.30.7 The mortal for whom you established nourishment receives even an unassigned portion in his home.Blessed is your ghee-rich favor, Indra, and your thousandfold gift, much-invoked one.

3.30.8 You crushed Sahadanu, much-invoked Indra, and the dwellers Kuyava and Ahasta.You struck the swollen Vritra, insatiable and footless, with your strength.

3.30.9 You settled on vast, boundless earth, swift Indra, as your firm dwelling.The bull propped up the sky and midair; let the waters you released flow here.

3.30.10 Indra, Vala opened the cows' pen in fear even before you struck.You made the paths easy and drove forth the cows; you aided the singers who called you from every side.

3.30.11 Indra alone filled the two treasure-bearing worlds, earth and heaven, joined together.From the midair, send us stores of food and chariots, warrior, with companions and prizes.

3.30.12 The sun does not trespass beyond the directions the lord of bay horses appointed day after day.When he has traveled the roads with his horses, he makes a place to unharness them.

3.30.13 The dawns long to see by night a great, wonderful face at daybreak.All know the many good deeds of Indra when he comes in greatness.

3.30.14 A great light lies hidden in the rivers; the cow bears its ripe milk, though still raw herself.All sweetness is gathered in the cow, placed there by Indra for nourishment.

3.30.15 Strengthen us, Indra, when our stores are empty; teach your praising friends how to sacrifice.Ill-meaning mortals, evildoers and enemies bearing arrows, seek to slay us.

3.30.16 Hear the cry rising from our lowly enemies; hurl your fiercest bolt among them.Cut them low, shatter them, overcome them; strike the demon, generous one, and subdue it.

3.30.17 Tear up the demon root and all, Indra; cut through its middle, crush its crown.You made the fiery bolt for the hissing serpent, for him who hates prayer.

3.30.18 Guide us with swift horses to well-being, bringing together plentiful stores of food.May we gain abundant wealth; Indra, grant us a share rich in children.

3.30.19 Bring us a glorious share, Indra, that we may partake of your exceeding generosity.Our longing has spread like a plain; fill it with riches, lord of wealth.

3.30.20 Gladden this longing with cows and horses, and enlarge it with shining bounty.The Kushikas, seeking sunlight, have made prayers their vehicle for you, Indra.

3.30.21 Break open the cattle pens for us, lord of cows; let prizes and gifts come together to us.You dwell in heaven, truthful bull of strength; be our giver of cows, generous one.

3.30.22 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

Hymn 3.31 — Seer: Kushika Aishirathi or Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.31.1 The bearer obeyed and went to the daughter's grandson, knowing the light of Truth and honoring it.There the father joined with the daughter and poured his seed, bringing them together in a kindly mind.

3.31.2 He left no inheritance to his sister; he made the hidden child a treasure for the winner.When the mothers brought forth the bearer, one made him, another performed the good work.

3.31.3 Agni was born trembling in the ladle, for the worship of the red one's great sons.Their mighty child was born of a mighty mother; she grew great through the bay-horsed one's rites.

3.31.4 They pursued the one striving for victory and brought great light forth from darkness.The dawns, knowing him, came out to meet him; Indra alone became lord of the cows.

3.31.5 With insight they pierced the firm enclosures; seven seers urged their thoughts forward.They found the entire path of Truth and, knowing it, entered in reverence.

3.31.6 When Sarama found the mountain cleft, she fashioned a great ancient path forward.She led the first of those whose feet leave clear tracks, and knowing the cry, went toward it.

3.31.7 The wisest seer came seeking friendship; the mountain brought forth a child for the doer of good.The vigorous young man won his prize, and the Angiras began at once to sing.

3.31.8 First among those that are, measure of every being, he knows every birth and strikes Shushna.Seeking cows, he sang us a path from heaven; friend, he freed his friends from reproach.

3.31.9 Desiring cows, they sat down to sing, making a path toward immortality.Even this became their vast dwelling, where they reached the months by Truth.

3.31.10 They saw together and rejoiced in their own milk, drawing from the ancient seed.Their cry warmed both worlds; at birth they placed their heroes among the cows.

3.31.11 With newborn songs Indra the Vritra-slayer released the cows through hymns.The victorious cow, bearing ghee-rich gifts, gave him sweet honey in abundance.

3.31.12 They made a dwelling even for their father; the good workers saw the great blazing radiance.With a prop they upheld their mother, and standing upright measured the vast height.

3.31.13 When great inspired thought prepared and placed the one who grew at once between heaven and earth,All songs gathered in him, blameless; all unconquered powers belong to Indra.

3.31.14 I seek your friendship through mighty powers, Vritra-slayer; many yoked teams come to you.We have come to the sage for great praise and aid; generous one, guard what is ours.

3.31.15 Finding a vast, shining country, he joined his friends and set them in motion.Indra with men brought forth, all gleaming together, the sun, the dawn, the path, and fire.

3.31.16 The master of the house also released the waters to flow together, lovely to all.Cleansing their honey with the sages' filters, shining through days and nights, they speed to the desert.

3.31.17 Both dark and bright wealth-bearing powers depart at the sun's command, two worshipful ones.Your beloved friends strive to encompass your greatness, Indra, steadfast and true.

3.31.18 Be lord of truthful songs, Vritra-slayer, bull who gives life to all the voices.Come to us with gracious friendships, great one, running with mighty forms of help.

3.31.19 Like an Angiras I honor him with homage; for the ancient one I fashion a fresh song for gain.Dispel the many godless deceits, and grant us sunlight for victory, generous one.

3.31.20 Purifying rains have spread abroad; carry us safely beyond them.Indra, be our charioteer; protect us from harm and make us winners of cows at every turn.

3.31.21 The Vritra-slayer, lord of cows, revealed the cattle; he crossed dark places with red light.Sending forth truthful speech by Truth, he opened all his own doors.

3.31.22 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

Hymn 3.32 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.32.1 Indra, lord of soma, drink this lovely midday pressing meant for you.Fill your two cheeks, generous one, strong in the pressed draught; unhitch your bay horses and rejoice here.

3.32.2 Drink the bright soma, Indra, mixed with milk and stirred; we give it for your delight.Together with the prayer-making Marut troop, with Rudra's sons, drink your fill and wax strong.

3.32.3 Those Maruts who increased your strength, your fierce power, and your vigor by their praise—At the midday pressing drink with the Rudra host, lovely-lipped mace-bearer.

3.32.4 They were the Marut troop of Indra that drank deeply of this sweet draught.With them he found Vritra's vulnerable place, the weakness of him who imagined himself invulnerable.

3.32.5 As Manu did, Indra, welcome the pressing; drink soma for lasting heroism.Turn to us, bay-horsed one, at our rites; set the racing floods of water running.

3.32.6 You released the waters to run like racers when you struck Vritra.With your moving weapon you struck the godless one lying there, encircling the godly waters.

3.32.7 With reverence we worship mighty Indra, vast, towering, ageless, young.Even heaven and earth, beloved of this worshipful one, could not measure his greatness.

3.32.8 Many are Indra's good deeds; not all the gods can violate his ordinances.He supported earth and this sky, and with his good work brought forth the sun and dawn.

3.32.9 True and guileless is that greatness of yours: at birth you drank the soma at once.Neither the heavens, Indra, nor days nor months nor autumns can contain your power.

3.32.10 At your very birth, Indra, you drank soma in the highest heaven for delight.When you entered heaven and earth, you became the ancient protector of the singer.

3.32.11 You struck the serpent lying around the flood, mighty one born of mighty stock.Heaven could not equal your greatness when you planted one hip against the earth.

3.32.12 The sacrifice gave you increase, Indra, and the soma-pressing was dear to you.Through sacrifice you, worshipful, protected sacrifice; your rite aided your mace in striking the serpent.

3.32.13 By sacrifice I brought Indra near for aid; let me turn him toward a new blessing,Him whom ancient praises made strong, and those of the middle time and those of today.

3.32.14 When inspired thought stirred and bore me, I shall praise Indra before the day's close,Where he carries us through distress like a boat, the one whom both parties invoke while crossing.

3.32.15 His cup is full, with “svaha”; like one who fills a vessel, I have poured it out for drinking.His beloved soma draughts circle toward Indra for his delight.

3.32.16 No deep river, much-invoked one, nor encompassing mountains can hold you back.So, when your friends urged you on, Indra, you broke even the firm cattle pen.

3.32.17 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

3.33.1 From the mountain's lap they rush eager, laughing like two mares let loose.Like two bright mother cows licking their calves, Vipash and Shutudri race with their waters.

3.33.2 Sent by Indra, seeking a free course, you travel toward the sea like chariot horses.Meeting in waves and swelling, lovely ones, one of you reaches the other.

3.33.3 I have come to the most motherly river, the Sindhu, and to spacious, blessed Vipash.Like mothers licking their calf, they flow onward together toward their common home.

3.33.4 “Full with water, we follow the bed the gods have made for us.Our rushing flow cannot be turned back; why does the seer call to us, rivers?”

3.33.5 “Rest for a moment at my soma-inspired words, you who are faithful to Truth.I, Kushika's son, invoke you with my great song as you run toward the Sindhu.”

3.33.6 “Indra, mace in hand, dug us out and struck Vritra, the barrier round the rivers.God Savitar of gracious hands led us; by his impulse we run, broad rivers.”

3.33.7 “Always worthy of telling is that heroic deed of Indra, when he cut apart the serpent.With his mace he smashed the enclosing banks; the waters flowed on, seeking their way.”

3.33.8 “Do not forget this speech, singer, so that later generations will hear your cry.Poet, remember us in your hymns; do not humble us before men. I honor you.”

3.33.9 “Hear the singer, sisters: he has come to you from afar with wagon and chariot.Bow low, become easy to cross, rivers; flow beneath the axles and the chariot rails.”

3.33.10 “We hear your words, singer, who have come from afar with wagon and chariot.We will bow for you like a woman with milk, like a maiden before a young man.”

3.33.11 “When the Bharatas, driven by Indra, cross you, a tribe seeking cows,Let your destined current flow; I seek your favor, goddesses worthy of worship.”

3.33.12 “The cow-seeking Bharatas have crossed; the seer has won the rivers' favor.Flow onward, bearing food and rich gifts; fill your channels and hurry on.”

3.33.13 Waters, let your wave rise no higher than our axles; loosen your reins.Let the harmless pair reach safety, free of guilt and evil deed.

Hymn 3.34 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.34.1 Indra, breaker of fortresses, went beyond the Dasa with songs, found wealth, and scattered enemies.Spurred by prayer, growing strong in body, giver of much, he filled both worlds.

3.34.2 I send forth my voice to stir your mighty vigor, adorning it for the immortal.Indra, you go before the human lands and the peoples of the gods.

3.34.3 Indra, leader of troops, encompassed Vritra and broke down the fraud of the magicians.He struck Vyamsa, burned through the woods, and made the cows of the night visible.

3.34.4 Seeking sunlight, Indra created the days; with the eager ones he conquered armies, full of help.For Manu he lit the beacon of day and found light for the great struggle.

3.34.5 Indra entered the crushing battle, bearing many manly deeds like a man.He awakened these thoughts for the singer, and drew forth their radiant color.

3.34.6 They praise the great and many good deeds of mighty Indra.With his host he crushed the wicked; by wondrous arts the mighty one overpowered the Dasyus.

3.34.7 Indra, lord of the good, opened a way through battle for the gods and filled the peoples.In the dwelling of Vivasvat the inspired sages sing those deeds in hymns.

3.34.8 The wise praise Indra, ever victorious, chosen, giver of strength,Who won the sunlight and divine waters, who won this earth and sky.

3.34.9 Indra won the racing horse and sun, won the cow that gives manifold food.He won golden wealth; striking the Dasyus, he protected the Arya people.

3.34.10 Indra won plants and days, trees and middle air.He broke Vala, drove away the discordant, and subdued those who plotted against him.

3.34.11 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

Hymn 3.35 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.35.1 Stand: your bay horses are being yoked to the chariot; come to us like Vayu with his teams.Drink this pressed draught poured for us, Indra; with “svaha” we give it for your delight.

3.35.2 For the much-invoked one I yoke his two swift bay racers to the chariot's pole.May they speed from every side and bring Indra to this sacrifice.

3.35.3 Bring the powerful pair here, bull, master of your own nature; come to our ardent draught.Let your ruddy horses graze when you unhitch them here; day after day eat the prepared grain.

3.35.4 With prayer I yoke your prayer-loving bay horses, swift friends sharing your feast.Mounted on your steady, easy-riding chariot, Indra, knowing and wise, come to our soma.

3.35.5 Let no other sacrificers hold back your two strong, broad-backed bay horses.Come past them; with our pressed soma we will always make you welcome.

3.35.6 This soma is yours: come here, drink it with a gracious heart forever.Sit upon the grass at this rite; take the drop into your belly, Indra.

3.35.7 Your grass is spread, Indra, your soma pressed, and grain prepared for you and your bay horses.To you, the powerful bull with the Maruts, oblations are offered for your home.

3.35.8 Men, mountains, and waters have blended this honeyed drink for you with milk, Indra.Come, towering one, drink with goodwill, knowing and following your own paths.

3.35.9 The Maruts whom you took as your share when drinking soma, who made you grow and became your troop:With them come united, Indra, and eagerly drink this soma with Agni's tongue.

3.35.10 Drink the pressed soma as you please, Indra, or drink it through Agni's tongue, worshipful one.Or take what the officiant presents in his hand, or enjoy the Hotar's offered sacrifice.

3.35.11 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

Hymn 3.36 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin; verse 10 Ghora Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.36.1 Set this offering in the place of victory, always coming to us with your aid.At each pressing he grew by songs of strength, renowned for mighty deeds.

3.36.2 The soma draughts have been known to Indra from ancient days; with them the mighty bull grew great.Take hold of them as they are offered, Indra; drink the strong draught of the strong one.

3.36.3 Drink and grow: these pressed soma draughts are yours, Indra, the first and the present.As you drank the ancient draughts, so drink the new, praised one, today.

3.36.4 Great and immeasurable in battle, his fierce force rules, his daring vigor.Even the earth could not contain him when the soma draughts gladdened the bay-horsed one.

3.36.5 Great and fierce, he grew for heroic action; the bull gathered himself through sacred song.Indra is Bhaga, giver of prizes; his cows are born in abundance, and many gifts are his.

3.36.6 As rivers follow their destined course and waters run like chariot racers to the sea,So Indra outgrows even the meeting place when soma, the milked shoot, fills him.

3.36.7 The rivers running toward the sea bear well-pressed soma to Indra.With their hands they milk the stalk into vessels and filter honey through the streaming wool.

3.36.8 His soma-holding bellies, like lakes, fill with the many pressings.When Indra first tasted the food, he struck Vritra and chose the soma.

3.36.9 Bring it here; let no one keep this from us, for we know you as lord of riches.Indra, whatever mighty gift is yours, grant it to us, bay-horsed one.

3.36.10 Grant us, generous Indra, strong in the pressed soma, great wealth desired by all.Grant us a hundred autumns to live and enduring heroes, Indra of lovely lips.

Hymn 3.38 — Seer: Prajapati of Vishvamitra's line, or Prajapati Vachya, or Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.38.1 I shape thought like a carpenter, like a well-yoked racer setting off for a prize.I reach toward beloved things beyond; with keen intelligence I seek to see the poets.

3.38.2 Ask and inquire about the poets' birth; holding them in mind, skilled makers fashioned heaven.These dear ones of yours have grown, and moved on the winds of thought into the ordinance.

3.38.3 Here they set the hidden powers within, and joined heaven and earth for sovereignty.With measured spans they shaped the wide worlds and set them between the great pair for nourishment.

3.38.4 All adorned him as he took his stand; clothed in beauty, he moves by his own light.Great is the name of that divine bull: in every shape he stands among immortals.

3.38.5 The greater, ancient bull brought them forth; these are his many shelters.Descendants of heaven, in the assembly's thoughts you two kings have held power since ancient days.

3.38.6 At the gathering, two kings, you adorn all three dwellings and the many others.Going there in thought I saw the wind-haired Gandharvas within the ordinance.

3.38.7 By names they measured the union of this bull and cow.Wearing different divine powers, the wonder-workers shaped form upon form within him.

3.38.8 No one, not even I, has mastered that golden craft of Savitar.I send fine praise to both worlds, reaching all, while he veils births like a woman.

3.38.9 You two perform the great deed of the ancient one; may divine well-being surround us.All see the manifold works of the wonder-maker, guardian-tongued and steadfast.

3.38.10 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

Hymn 3.39 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.39.1 My thought, uttered from the heart and shaped by praise, moves toward its lord Indra.When it is spoken awake in the assembly, Indra, know what is born for you.

3.39.2 Born even before heaven, uttered awake in the gathering,Wearing fine, shining garments, this ancient thought of our fathers is ours.

3.39.3 Yama's sister here gave birth to twins; the tip of the tongue flew up into speech.Two forms born together attend each other, slayers of darkness rising from burning depths.

3.39.4 None among mortals reviles those fathers of ours who fought for the cows.Mighty Indra strengthened them and with wondrous deeds released the cattle pens.

3.39.5 When as friend with the nine-singers he followed the cows with friends and warriors on their knees,Then truly Indra with the ten-singers found the sun dwelling in darkness.

3.39.6 Indra found the honey gathered in the cow, whether the creature had feet or hooves.The secret hidden deep within the waters the generous one took in his right hand.

3.39.7 Knowing light, he chose it over darkness; may we be far from evil and distress.Indra, soma-drinker, grown strong on soma, accept these songs of your devoted singer.

3.39.8 May light follow heaven and earth for the sacrifice; may we be far from abundant evil.For the protecting Vasus carry even the heavily burdened mortal safely across.

3.39.9 May we call the generous Indra for good fortune in this struggle to win the prize, mightiest of men,The fierce one who hears us for aid in battle, strikes Vritras, and conquers wealth.

3.48.2 On the day you were born, in longing for it you drank the mountain-growing stalk's sweetness.Your mother, the young woman who bore you, first poured it out for you in your great father's home.

3.48.3 Approaching his mother, he sought food; he saw the sharp soma upon her breast.He drove others away, moved in wisdom, and performed great deeds in many forms.

3.48.4 Fierce, rapidly conquering, overwhelming in might, he shaped his own body at will.Indra surpassed Tvashtri at birth and drank the soma stolen from his cups.

3.51.3 At the source of wealth the singer praises him; Indra honors the spotless song.He took delight in Vivasvat's dwelling: praise the ever-victorious destroyer of enemies.

3.51.4 Beset by trouble, praise with songs and hymns the mightiest man, the warrior.He overcomes the many-wiled foe; since ancient days he alone commands homage.

3.53.3 Let us sing, officiant; answer my call, and make a song that pleases Indra.Sit here on the sacrificer's grass, and then let the hymn be sung to Indra.

3.53.4 Your wife is your home, generous one, your own resting place; let your yoked bay horses bring you there.Whenever we press soma, Agni as messenger will speed to call you.

3.53.5 Go away, generous Indra, and return, brother; you have a purpose in both places.There is the great chariot's standing place, where its horse and donkey are unyoked.

3.53.6 You have drunk soma; go home, Indra, where your lovely wife awaits you in your pleasant house,Where the great chariot has its standing place and the gift-winning steed is unyoked.

3.53.7 These various generous Angirases are sons of heaven, heroes of the divine lord.Giving riches to Vishvamitra, may they prolong his life at the thousandfold pressing.

3.53.8 The generous one becomes form after form, working wonders about his own body.Three times from heaven he came in an instant; faithful to Truth, he goes with his own invocations beyond the seasons.

3.53.9 The great seer, born of gods, urged on by gods, held back the river's flood, watching over men.When Vishvamitra led Sudas across, Indra found favor with the Kushikas.

3.53.10 Like swans, raise a cry with the pressing stones, rejoicing in songs beside the pressed drink at the rite.With gods, inspired seers who watch over men, drink the honeyed soma, Kushikas.

3.53.11 Come near, Kushikas; take heed, and unharness Sudas's horse to receive riches.The king strikes Vritra east, west, north, and then sacrifices on earth's chosen ground.

3.53.12 I have praised Indra, who holdsBoth worlds together.This prayer of VishvamitraGuards the Bharata people.

3.53.13 The Vishvamitras offered prayerTo Indra, mace-bearer;May he make us rich in gifts.

3.53.14 What are your cows doing among the Kikatas? They yield no milk for mixing and heat no sacrificial pot.Bring us Pramaganda's wealth; subdue the man of the low branch for us, generous one.

3.53.15 Sasarpari, driving poverty away, rang out greatly, given by the Jamadagnis.Daughter of the sun, she spread undying, ageless fame among the gods.

3.53.16 Sasarpari swiftly brought them renown among the five peoples.She has wings and brings new life, she whom the Jamadagnis gave me at Palasti.

3.53.17 Let our two oxen be firm, our axle strong; let not the pole snap or the yoke break apart.Let Indra give support to the wagon's sides; with unharmed wheel rims, ride beside us.

3.53.18 Place strength in our bodies,Strength, Indra, in our cattle,Strength in our children and descendants to live: you are giver of strength.

3.53.19 Wrap yourself in the heartwood of acacia; set strength in the trembling shishapa wood.Axle, hold firm, firm one, stay firm; do not throw us from this journey.

3.53.20 May this lord of the forestNeither abandon nor injure us.Bring us safely from our homesTo the place where we unhitch.

3.53.21 Come today, Indra, with abundant help; bring us life with your finest aid, generous warrior.Let the one who hates us fall below our feet, and let life leave the one we hate.

3.53.22 He scorches even the axe and cleaves the log;Even a boiling pot, Indra,When set on the fire, tosses up its foam.

3.53.23 People do not understand the arrow; they lead an ass along, thinking it a horse.They cannot make a nonracer run in races; they do not lead a donkey ahead of horses.

3.53.24 These sons of Bharata, Indra, understand departure but not arrival.They drive an untrained horse as though he were forever trained; they lead a bow-prize around in battle.

Hymn 3.54 — Seer: Prajapati of Vishvamitra's line or Prajapati Vachya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.54.1 They have often brought this great song of strength to the one worthy of praise in assembly.Let him hear us by his household faces; let unceasing Agni hear us by his heavenly ones.

3.54.3 Let your Truth be true, heaven and earth; arise to bring us great good fortune.I bring this homage to heaven and earth, Agni; I serve with food and seek the treasure.

3.54.4 Even the ancients found you, truthful-speaking heaven and earth faithful to Truth.Men too, seeking heroes in battle, praised you, earth, finding your blessing.

3.54.5 Who truly knows? Who here can declare which road leads to the gods?Only their nearest dwellings are seen; the farther ones lie hidden within their ordinances.

3.54.6 The seer who watches men has looked upon them both, rejoicing in Truth's birthplace, open wide.Though they fashioned separate dwellings, they agreed in one wisdom, like two birds.

3.54.7 Equal, though parted at the far horizon, they stand awake in their fixed stations.And the youthful sisters speak their paired names to one another.

3.54.8 The two distinguish all births, bearing the great gods without faltering.The whole world, moving and still, flies as one; each winged creature is born apart.

3.54.9 I follow the ancient path to him, our great father and begetter, our kin.There the praising gods stand within the broad, open road.

3.54.10 I speak this praise to heaven and earth; let the tender-hearted, fire-tongued ones hear:Mitra, young sovereign Varuna, the Adityas, wise and wide-reaching.

3.54.11 Golden-handed Savitar, gracious of tongue, comes three times from heaven, lord of the gathering.Savitar, take your place in the gods' song; send us complete fulfillment.

3.54.12 Skilled and gracious-handed, possessed of himself and faithful to Truth, may god Tvashtri give us these gifts for help.Rejoice with Pushan, Ribhus; with the stones raised, you have fashioned the rite.

3.54.13 Maruts with lightning chariots and spears, tireless heroes of heaven born of Truth,And Sarasvati, hear us; let the worshipful ones and Dhatar grant wealth with heroes.

3.54.14 Songs of praise have reached Vishnu of many wonders in his course, as singers reach Bhaga.He strides widely and stands supreme; his many young mothers do not fail him.

3.54.15 Indra, lord of every heroic power, filled both worlds with his greatness.Fortress-breaker, Vritra-slayer, with a bold host, gather and bring us many cattle.

3.54.16 Ashvins, true ones, tell me about your kinship and the lovely name you share by birth.You give us wealth, guardians of the gift, free of fraud and uncheated by fools.

3.54.17 Great, wise ones, is your beautiful name, that you all become gods in Indra.With the dear Ribhus, much-invoked one, fashion this thought for our gain.

3.54.18 Aryaman, Aditi, worshipful ones, and Varuna's unbroken ordinances,Ward off childlessness from our path; let our way be rich in children and cattle.

3.54.19 Let the gods' messenger, born in many places, declare us innocent among you all.Let earth and heaven and waters hear us, the sun with the stars and wide middle air.

3.54.20 Let the mighty mountains hear us, firm in their places, rejoicing in Ila.Let Aditi with the Adityas hear us; let the Maruts give us gracious shelter.

3.54.21 May our path always be smooth and rich in food; gods, fill the plants with honey.Agni, let not Bhaga fail in friendship; may I find a home with riches and plentiful food.

3.54.22 Taste our oblations; shine out with sustenance; measure out renown for us.Defeat all our enemies in battle, Agni; shine kindly upon us every day.

3.56.1 Neither wonder-workers nor wise men violate the gods' ancient, steadfast ordinances.Not heaven and earth, faithful and well ordained, nor the standing mountains bend away.

3.56.2 One bears six burdens as he moves; the cows have approached the highest Truth.Three mighty realms stand beyond; two lie hidden, one appears.

3.56.3 Three-powered is the bull of every form, three-uddered, rich in many kinds of offspring.Three-faced, ruling in greatness, he forever bestows seed on the females.

3.56.4 The path appeared before them; I call upon the Adityas' lovely name.Even the divine waters, traveling separate roads, rested for him and surrounded him.

3.56.5 Three dwellings of rivers, three of seers, and the three-mothered sovereign in assemblies;Three women faithful to Truth, dwelling in waters, rule the gathering thrice from heaven.

3.56.6 Three times from heaven, Savitar, send desirable things, three times each day.Send us threefold riches and treasure; Bhaga, protector, grant insight for our gain.

3.56.7 Three times from heaven Savitar sends his impulse, and Mitra and Varuna, kings with gracious hands.Even the waters and wide heaven and earth ask Savitar for treasure at his stirring.

3.57.1 The discerning one found my thought, a cow wandering alone without a herdsman.At once she gave abundant milk; Indra and Agni praise her for it.

3.57.2 Indra and Pushan, strong and deft-handed, milked the resting cow, glad as the heavens.When all the gods rejoice in her, Vasus, may we gain your favor here.

3.57.3 The sisters seek the bull's power and honor the child they know within him.The lowing cows move toward their son, bearing splendid forms of greatness.

3.57.4 I speak to the gracious two worlds, yoking my mind to the pressing stone at sacrifice.These many chosen gifts of yours rise up for Manu, lovely and worthy of worship.

3.57.5 With your honeyed, wise tongue, Agni, which speaks widely among the gods,Seat all these worshipful ones here for help, and feed them sweet drink.

3.57.6 Your bright stream, Agni, as from a mountain, feeds the divine ones close beside it.Grant us that insight, Jatavedas, Vasu, and your good will for all mankind.

Hymn 3.58 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.58.1 The cow yields the ancient one's desired milk; within her the son moves toward the gift.Dawn carries her shining light along her bright path; a hymn has awakened the Ashvins.

3.58.2 Well-yoked steeds bring you by Truth; like fathers our minds rise up to you.Grow old with us, beyond the Pani's plotting; we have sought your help, so come near.

3.58.3 With well-yoked horses and your finely built chariot, wondrous ones, hear this song at the stone.Why have you turned away from us? The seers call you, Ashvins born of old.

3.58.4 Think kindly and come by these paths; all people call you, Ashvins.For your milk-bright honeyed draughts are poured forth by friends at first light.

3.58.5 Beyond many realms your song resounds among the people, generous Ashvins.Come here on the gods' roads, wondrous ones; here are your stores of honey.

3.58.6 Your ancient dwelling and blessed friendship, heroes, and your riches are by the Jahnavi.Renewing our gracious friendships, may we rejoice in honey together now.

3.58.7 Ashvins, young and skillful, united with Vayu and his yoked teams,True ones, generous and untiring, drink the soma of yesterday's pressing.

3.58.8 Ashvins, our many prayers have gone around you, striving in song, unhurt.Your chariot, born of Truth and spurred by stones, circles heaven and earth in a moment.

3.58.9 Ashvins, come drink this soma pressed with honey for you in our house.Your many-formed chariot will carry you to the preparation of the pressed drink.

Hymn 3.59 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Mitra. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 6–9 Gayatri.

3.59.1 Mitra guides the peoples with his word; Mitra upheld earth and heaven.Mitra watches the clans without closing his eyes; pour ghee-rich oblations to Mitra.

3.59.2 Let that mortal prosper, Mitra, who obeys your ordinance, Aditya.Protected by you, he is not slain or defeated; trouble reaches him neither near nor far.

3.59.3 Free of illness, rejoicing in Ila, bowing in reverence over earth's wide spaces,Dwelling under the Aditya's ordinance, may we live in Mitra's favor.

3.59.4 This Mitra, honored and kind, a king of fine sovereign power, was born the maker.May we remain in the worshipful one's favor and in his blessed kindness of heart.

3.59.5 Great is the Aditya, approachable with reverence, who guides men and favors the singer.For him, the most praiseworthy, pour this pleasing offering into Agni's fire for Mitra.

3.59.6 We have gained the aid of god Mitra,Who sustains the peoples:Splendor bright with surpassing renown.

3.59.7 Mitra, by his greatness, spreadsAcross the whole sky,Across the earth by his glory.

3.59.8 The five peoples draw nearTo Mitra for mighty help;He upholds all the gods.

3.59.9 For gods and humankind,For the man who spreads ritual grass,Mitra has made food through his cherished ordinance.

Hymn 3.60 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: the Ribhus; verses 5–7 Indra and the Ribhus. Meter: Jagati.

3.60.1 Here and here with kinship in their hearts the eager men approached your works with knowledge.Through those wondrous arts and shapes made fit for praise, sons of Sudhanvan, you won a share of sacrifice.

3.60.2 By those skills you fashioned the cups; by that thought you shaped the cow from its hide;By that wisdom you hewed the bay horses, and by it, Ribhus, attained godhood.

3.60.3 The Ribhus won Indra's friendship; Manu's descendants took their work in hand.Sudhanvan's sons reached immortality, honored for their good works and craftsmanship.

3.60.4 Ride with Indra in one chariot to the pressing, and share the beauty of those who desire you.I cannot measure your good works and heroic deeds, singers, sons of Sudhanvan, Ribhus.

3.60.5 Indra, drink the pressed soma poured into your hands with the prize-winning Ribhus.Called by prayer, generous one, rejoice in the giver's house with Sudhanvan's sons.

3.60.6 Indra with the Ribhus and Vaja, rejoice here at our pressing through your skill, much-praised one.These seasonal offerings have been prepared for you by the gods' ordinances and the laws of men.

3.60.7 Indra, eager for prizes, come with the vigorous Ribhus to the singer's worshipful hymn.With a hundred swift-bright signs for man, guide a thousand at the sacrifice's invocation.

Hymn 3.61 — Seer: Vishvamitra, son of Gathin. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

3.61.1 Ushas, wise giver rich in prizes, accept the praise of your singer, generous one.Ancient goddess, young woman, abundant one, you follow your ordinance, beloved of all.

3.61.2 Shine forth, immortal goddess Ushas, driving a shining chariot, stirring truthful words.Let your well-guided horses bear you here, golden of color and broad of strength.

3.61.3 Ushas, you rise upright before all beings, beacon of immortality.Moving toward the same goal, circle back anew like a wheel.

3.61.4 Like a seamstress unfolding her work, generous Ushas comes as mistress of the day.Bringing forth sunlight, blessed and wonderful, she spreads from heaven's edge over earth.

3.61.5 Offer homage and a lovely hymn to the goddess Ushas as she shines toward you.Her honey-giving strength has risen into heaven; her radiant spaces glow, lovely to see.

3.61.6 Faithful to Truth, she wakes from heaven with songs, rich with gifts, brilliant across both worlds.Agni, as shining Ushas comes, you seek lovely treasure and riches.

3.61.7 The bull, seeking the dawns from Truth's foundation, entered the vast heaven and earth.The mighty wonder of Mitra and Varuna spread its radiant light everywhere, like the moon.

3.62.1 These bold songs we have made, turning to you two for help, Indra and Varuna.Where is your glory with which you once brought food to your friends?

3.62.2 This man, eager above all for riches, calls you again and again for lasting aid.Indra and Varuna, united with the Maruts, with heaven and earth, hear my call.

3.62.3 May this wealth be ours, Indra and Varuna, and wealth with every hero, Maruts.May our protectresses shelter us, and Bharati of the priestly offerings and gifts.

3.62.4 Brihaspati, accept our offerings,Belonging to all the gods;Grant treasures to the giver.

3.62.5 Honor pure BrihaspatiWith songs at sacrifices;I seek his unbending strength.

Hymn 4.1 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni; verses 2–5 alternatively Agni and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 1 Ashti; verse 2 Atijagati; verse 3 Dhriti.

4.1.1 For you, Agni, the gods in their accord appointed a godly messenger forever; by their wisdom they appointed you.The immortal one for mortals to worship: god brought forth god, discerning in all things, god brought forth god, discerning in all things.

4.1.2 So turn your brother Varuna here, Agni, with gracious thought toward the gods, the eldest who wins sacrifice.The Aditya faithful to Truth, king who sustains the peoples, sustainer of peoples.

4.1.3 Friend, bring your friend here swiftly, like a chariot rider brings his wheel, wondrous one, swiftly to us.Agni, find mercy with Varuna and the Maruts radiant everywhere.Shining one, bring well-being to our children and offspring; wondrous one, bring us well-being.

4.1.4 Knowing the divine Varuna, Agni, drive his anger far away from us.Most fit to worship, best bearer, blazing, release us from every hatred.

4.1.5 Agni, be our closest help at the breaking of this dawn.Delightfully turn Varuna from his anger at us; seek his grace and be easy for us to call.

4.1.6 This blessed god's appearance is the loveliest among mortals,Pure as heated ghee from the inviolate cow's udder, desirable as the divine cow's gift.

4.1.7 Agni has three highest births, true, worthy of the god.Within the boundless he came adorned, pure, shining, noble, radiant.

4.1.8 The messenger reaches into every dwelling, golden-charioted Hotar with a lively tongue.With red horses, beautiful and shining, forever delightful in the food-rich assembly.

4.1.9 He rouses men, bound to the rite; they lead him forth with the great cord.He dwells in their houses, accomplishing his work; the god has come to share the mortal's gain.

4.1.10 Let this Agni lead us, knowing, toward the treasure assigned him by the gods,Which all immortals fashioned in thought, which heaven the father and begetter showered down in truth.

4.1.11 He is born first in dwellings, at the great foundation, in this birthplace of space.Without feet or head, he hides his end, turning in the bull's lair.

4.1.12 The foremost host rang out, discerning, in Truth's birthplace, the bull's lair.Desirable, young, beautiful, shining, seven beloved mothers gave birth to the bull.

4.1.13 Here our human fathers approached, eager for Truth.They found the fine-milking cows in a stone enclosure and drove out the red ones, calling the dawns.

4.1.14 They cleared the mountain when they saw it; others among them spoke all around it.The cattle-seekers sang to the maker, found the light, and shaped it with their thoughts.

4.1.15 With minds eager for cows, they approached the firm, closed mountain hemming in the herd.The eager men opened by godly speech that strong, cow-rich enclosure.

4.1.16 They recalled the cow's first name and found the mother's thrice-seven highest names.Knowing them, they sang toward the pens; the ruddy cows appeared with their glory.

4.1.17 Darkness vanished and the sky shone; the radiance of divine dawn rose high.The sun mounted heaven's vast plains, seeing straightness and crookedness among mortals.

4.1.18 Then those awakened later saw; they held the treasure allotted by heaven.Let Truth be ours, Mitra and Varuna, in all the dwellings of all the gods.

4.1.19 I would praise blazing Agni, Hotar who bears all, most fit to worship.He broke through the cow's pure udder, as pressed soma is strained and poured.

4.1.20 Aditi of all who sacrifice, guest of all humankind,Agni, choosing the gods' protection, may Jatavedas be gracious.

Hymn 4.2 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.2.1 The immortal among mortals, faithful to Truth, set as divine messenger among gods,Agni, greatest Hotar, is urged to shine in his greatness and to move men with offerings.

4.2.2 Born here today, son of strength, you move between both kinds of beings, Agni.You go as a messenger, lofty one, yoking both the straight-backed and strong and the shining ones.

4.2.3 Your red, ghee-streaming racers, advancing and swift in thought, I think of as Truth itself.You travel between, yoking the ruddy ones, the gods and the mortal peoples.

4.2.4 Aryaman, Varuna, Mitra, Indra and Vishnu, the Maruts and Ashvins:Bring them to the generous giver, Agni, with fine steeds and a lovely chariot.

4.2.5 Rich in cows, sheep, and horses, may our sacrifice have brave men as friends, never to be forgotten.Rich in Ila, offspring, and long life, divine lord, may its broad-founded wealth fill the assembly.

4.2.6 For the man who brings your firewood, Agni, sweating, or heats his head in service to you,Be a protector in your own might; save him from every evildoer.

4.2.7 The man who brings you food though needing it himself, who settles the delightful guest and praises him,Kindles you, seeking the gods, in his house: let firm, generous wealth be his.

4.2.8 The man who praises you at evening and dawn, or makes you dear with his offerings,Like a golden horse in his own house: carry that giver through distress.

4.2.9 The man who gives to you, immortal Agni, and serves with his ladle raised,Let him not lose the riches he has gained; let no evildoer's harm hem him in.

4.2.10 When you, Agni, as god, gladly accept a mortal's well-ordered rite,Let the priestly work please you, youngest one; may we strengthen the man who worships you.

4.2.11 Discerning, distinguish wisdom from folly, as men tell the open places from crooked ground.God, give us wealth and good offspring; grant us what may be divided, and guard undivided Aditi.

4.2.12 The unfailing poets guided the poet, keeping him in men's houses.From there, Agni, you can see these wondrous ones with your feet, noble one, upon your journeys.

4.2.13 Agni, you are good guidance to the singer, youngest one, who presses soma and gives.Bring broad, shining treasure to the bold singer for aid, you who fill the peoples.

4.2.14 Then, Agni, seeking you with our feet, hands, and bodies,Like builders of a chariot, the wise workers strove to make their way to Truth.

4.2.15 Then may we be the first of the seven seers born of Dawn our mother, creators of men;May we be Angirases, sons of heaven, and break the treasure-bearing mountain with light.

4.2.16 Then, as our distant, ancient fathers sought Truth, Agni,The hymn-commanding ones came shining in thought, broke the earth, and opened the ruddy cows' pen.

4.2.17 Doing good works, shining, seeking gods, forging divine births as if from iron,They made Agni and Indra blaze and grow; surrounding the cattle-rich expanse, they entered.

4.2.18 Like a noisy herd of cattle he appeared when he knew the fierce births of the gods.He made even mortals broad in power, and brought increase to the noble man who came later.

4.2.19 We have done your work, skilled one, and attained Truth; the radiant dawns have spread.They have adorned Agni, undiminished, bright in many forms, the beautiful eye of the god.

4.2.20 These words we have spoken to you, inspired Agni; accept them, seer.Blaze upward, make us richer; grant us vast wealth in many forms, beloved of all.

Hymn 4.3 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni; verse 1 Rudra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.3.1 Call here the king of the rite, Rudra, Hotar who sacrifices truly between the two worlds;Call for help Agni, golden-formed, who stood before the thunder's first sound.

4.3.2 We have made this birthplace for you, like a well-dressed wife who longs for her husband.Come near, sit down, adorned; these songs face you, master of purification.

4.3.3 I praise with song the god who hears and is never arrogant, watcher of men, gracious creator,The immortal one, like a pressing stone that pours out honey.

4.3.4 Agni, know this hymn of ours, in accord with Truth, faithful to Truth and wise in mind.When will your hymns be shared in feast? When will friendship flourish in your house?

4.3.5 How will you speak of our fault to Varuna, Agni, and how to heaven?How will you tell Mitra, bountiful earth, Aryaman, and Bhaga?

4.3.6 When, Agni, growing amid bright places, will you speak to the wind, swift and beautiful?When to far-ranging Nasatya and the guardian of dwellings, and when to Rudra, killer of men?

4.3.7 When to great, nourishing Pushan, when to Rudra of the gracious sacrifice?When will you speak to far-ranging Vishnu of seed, Agni, and when to the great arrow?

4.3.8 How will you answer the Marut host, faithful to Truth, how the great sun when asked?Answer Aditi, swift one; succeed, discerning Jatavedas born of heaven.

4.3.9 By Truth I praise the Truth drawn near from the cow, Agni, the honeyed ripe milk.Though dark, with shining nourishment she swells with the milk of our kindred life.

4.3.10 For by Truth the bull, male Agni, is anointed with milk upon his back.Without stirring he moved, giver of life; the bright bull milked Prishni's udder.

4.3.11 With Truth the Angirases broke the mountain open and called out with the cows.The men gathered around Dawn for good fortune; when Agni was born, sunlight appeared.

4.3.12 By Truth the divine immortal waters, unhurt, send their honeyed floods, Agni.Like a racehorse surging in its course, they always pour forth to stream onward.

4.3.13 Let me not bear another's debt, whether of a god, a household's betrayer, or a kinsman.Let me not bear the debt of an unjust brother, Agni, or suffer the skill of a treacherous friend.

4.3.14 Protect us with your protections, Agni, watchful, gracious and pleased.Turn back the blow, break firm distress; strike the demon, however great it grows.

4.3.15 Be gracious with these songs, Agni; touch these prizes with these thoughts, warrior.Accept the prayers of the Angirases; let your godward praise ring forth.

4.3.16 These secret guides and hidden words I have sung to you, knowing one, Agni,The poets' intimations to the poet, the sage's hymns inspired by thought.

Hymn 4.4 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni, destroyer of demons. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.4.1 Unleash your power as a wide net; march like a mighty king with his elephant.Speed after your swift-cast net, archer; pierce the demons with your fiercest darts.

4.4.2 Your wandering flames fly swiftly; touch every place, blazing boldly.Agni, with your tongue cast out flying brands of heat; unbound, scatter firebrands everywhere.

4.4.3 Send out watchers, swiftest one; be the unfailing guardian of this people.Let no slanderer far away or nearby, Agni, dare injure you.

4.4.4 Rise, Agni; spread out against them; burn our enemies with your sharp weapons.Whoever kindled enmity against us, burn him low as dry wood.

4.4.5 Stand upright and shoot away from us; make your divine powers visible, Agni.Loosen the hard strength of sorcerers; crush foes, whether kindred or strangers.

4.4.6 He knows your good will, youngest one, who yearns and opens a path to prayer.Let all bright days, riches, and glorious dwellings shine open for him.

4.4.7 Blessed and generous be the man who with constant offerings and hymnsStrives to please you in his own life and home, Agni; let every day bring him blessing.

4.4.8 I sing your favor aloud, calling it near; may this song, beloved of you, grow old with you.With good horses and fine chariots may we honor you; hold sovereignty among us day after day.

4.4.9 Here may many approach you at evening and dawn, blazing day by day.With hearts glad at play may we serve you, standing amid men's glories.

4.4.10 The man with fine horses and golden wealth who comes to you in a treasure-laden chariot, Agni:You are his protector and friend, the one who welcomes your presence as guest.

4.4.11 With words of kinship I break through great silence; this has come to me from my father Gotama.Heed these words of ours, wise and youngest Hotar, master of the house.

4.4.12 Sleepless, swift, gracious, tireless, without malice, never growing weary,May these guards sit together and watch over us for you, Agni, unfailing one.

4.4.13 Those guards of yours, Agni, watched over Mamata's son and protected the blind man from evil.The knower of all good works protected them; hostile plotters could not deceive them.

4.4.14 With you as our ally, protected by you, following your guidance, may we win prizes.Bring both our pleas to fulfillment in truth; accomplish them as asked, undaunted one.

4.4.15 With this kindling we worship you, Agni; receive the hymn offered before you.Burn the demon slanderers; protect us from deceit, abuse, and a friend's betraying hand.

Hymn 4.5 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.5.1 How shall we, united, give to generous Vaishvanara Agni, shining broadly?He props up the barrier with an unstinted, mighty supporting force.

4.5.2 Let no one scorn this gift which the self-possessed god gave to me, a mortal.Wise among the simple, immortal and discerning, Vaishvanara Agni, mightiest man.

4.5.3 Great, sharp-edged, thousand-seeded, powerful bull, with two couches,Agni found the cow's hidden footprint and has told me his insight.

4.5.4 Let Agni, with sharp jaws and fiercest flame, devour the ones who transgressVaruna's ordinances and break dear Mitra's lasting rules.

4.5.5 Without brothers, like women apart from their husbands; without a lord, like wives in an evil house,Being wicked, false and untrue, they begot this profound dwelling.

4.5.6 For me, Agni, this thought seems too great, like a heavy weight I cannot lift, purifier.You hold the vast, deep, far-reaching height on its sevenfold foundation by your bold strength.

4.5.7 Let thought purify and reach him in the same gathering with one wisdom.Upon the sleeping cow's hide, at the front, the bright form of Prishni lies concealed.

4.5.8 What should I say of this word of mine? They speak in riddles of the thing hidden away.When he uncovered the cow's waters, he guarded the dear, foremost footprint of the bird.

4.5.9 This is that great, mighty countenance which the ancient cow attends with her rays;Shining at the station of Truth, the swift one swiftly found what lay hidden.

4.5.10 Then blazing beside his two parents, he followed the secret beauty of the dappled one;At the mother's highest station, near the cow, rested the tongue of the eager bull's flame.

4.5.11 Asked with reverence, I shall speak the truth, O all-knowing Agni, through hope in you:You govern all that exists, the wealth in heaven and the wealth upon earth.

4.5.12 What is its wealth, and what its treasure? Tell us clearly, all-knowing one, who understands.We have not reached its hidden, remotest path, its distant station or its foundations.

4.5.13 What is the boundary, what the pattern, what is lovely? May we rush toward the prize like swift runners.When will the divine Dawns, brides of immortality, spread their color for us in the sun?

4.5.14 With worthless speech, insubstantial and deceitful, the hungry and the stunted approach.What can they say to you here, Agni? Let the unarmed sit down and keep company.

4.5.15 For the splendor of this kindled bull, the gracious one's face has shone in the house;Clothed in brightness, beautiful to behold, he shines like a dwelling rich in abundance.

Hymn 4.6 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.6.1 Rise high for us, Agni, priest of sacrifice, most worthy to worship at the gathering of gods;For you encompass every prayer and are the inspired thought of the wise.

4.6.2 The unerring priest Agni has sat among the peoples, joyful and discerning at their assemblies;Like Savitar he raises his light, and like a pillar holds his smoke against the sky.

4.6.3 Moving richly, giving gifts, dripping with ghee, he advances clockwise toward the gods;The beam rises, newborn, reaching the vault, well-kindled and beautiful, anointing the beast.

4.6.4 With the ritual grass spread and Agni kindled, the priest stands upright, taking pleasure in the rite;Agni circles as guardian of cattle and priest, traversing the threefold realm, reaching toward the primal heavens.

4.6.5 The joyful priest Agni moves round by himself, measuring the wood, honey-voiced and true to Truth;His flames run like horses; all beings tremble when he blazes forth.

4.6.6 Lovely is the sight of your shining face, Agni; though terrible and far-ranging, you are beautiful;No darkness can enfold your flame, nor can those who would harm you stain your body.

4.6.7 No one has barred his birth from his begetters, not even his mother and father, though they sought him;Then Agni, pure and well established like Mitra, shone among the human peoples.

4.6.8 The ten sisters, dwelling together, brought Agni to birth among the human peoples,Awakening at dawn, like a biting beast, shining and keen-edged as an axe.

4.6.9 Yours, Agni, are those golden, ghee-bathed, red horses, straight-running, beautiful;The ruddy, powerful, straight-limbed ones have summoned the wondrous one to the gathering of gods.

4.6.10 Those are your conquering, tireless, fierce flames, Agni, moving forth;Like falcons seeking their goal, resounding loudly like the host of Maruts.

4.6.11 A prayer has been made for you, kindled one; the hymn praises you, worshipful one: shine forth.Men seated Agni as priest; the eager ones honored him with the song of the living.

Hymn 4.7 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh, Jagati (1), Anushtubh (2–6).

4.7.1 Here the founders first established him, the priest most worthy of praise at sacrifices;Apnavana and the Bhrigus kindled him in the woods, the brilliant, far-reaching one for every clan.

4.7.2 Agni, when will your divine understanding be continuously present?For mortals have embraced you, worthy of praise among the peoples.

4.7.3 Seeing him, true to Truth and discerning, like heaven adorned with stars,The maker of all sacrifices, in every home.

4.7.4 They brought the swift messenger of Vivasvat, who reaches every people,The sign to human beings, the child of the Bhrigus, from clan to clan.

4.7.5 They seated him as priest in due order, the knowing one,Delightful, with purifying flames, most worshipful in his seven stations.

4.7.6 Him hidden among his perpetual mothers, sheltered in the wood,Brilliant yet concealed, well-known to anyone who seeks him.

4.7.7 When the gods rejoiced in the womb of Truth, in his own parted udder,Great Agni, honored with homage and offerings, will ever come, true to Truth, to the sacrifice.

4.7.8 Knowing the errands of sacrifice, comprehending both limits of heaven and earth,You journey as messenger, reaching from the primal sky, knowing the ascents of heaven best.

4.7.9 Your dark track lies before your bright splendor; your moving flame is one among all your forms;When the unkindled ones bear their embryo, from the moment of birth you become messenger.

4.7.10 The newborn's strength is seen when the wind blows upon his flame;He twists his pointed tongue among dry grasses and devours even solid food with parted jaws.

4.7.11 When the mighty Agni swiftly carries swift food, he makes a swift messenger;Driving hard he follows the wind's path, urged on like a swift horse toward the prize.

Hymn 4.8 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

4.8.1 With song I adorn your messenger, all-knowing,Immortal carrier of oblations, most worthy of worship.

4.8.2 For he knows where treasure lies, the great ascent of heaven;He will bring the gods here.

4.8.3 This god knows the way to the gods in the home of the seeker of Truth;He gives even precious wealth.

4.8.4 He, the priest, discerning, journeys between on his errand,Knowing the ascent of heaven.

4.8.5 May we be among those who give to Agni with gifts of oblation,Who nourish and kindle him.

4.8.6 They become renowned through riches and heroic sons,Those who establish worship in Agni.

4.8.7 May much-desired riches come to us day by day;May prizes flow toward us.

4.8.8 He is the inspired one among human peoples;With his strength he pierces through like a swift dart.

4.9.3 He is led around the dwelling, the joyful priest, at heavenly rites;He sits as purifier too.

4.9.4 Agni is also the lady of sacrifice, and the master of the house at home;He sits as the reciter too.

4.9.5 You draw near those who perform the rite, spokesman for the peoples,And bearer of the oblations of mortals.

4.9.6 You fulfill the errand of the one whose sacrifice you favor,To carry a mortal's oblation.

4.10.3 With these praises come toward us, be our light like the sun,Agni, gracious with all your faces.

4.10.4 With these songs we praise you today and offer to you, Agni;Your powers thunder forth like heaven.

4.10.5 Sweetest is the sight of you, Agni, by day and in the night;Near at hand you shine for splendor like a golden ornament.

4.10.6 Your body is pure as clarified ghee, unblemished, clean as gold;That brilliance shines like an ornament, self-possessed one.

4.10.7 For you drive away even ancient hatred from a mortal, Agni;So do you for the worshiper, true to Truth.

4.11.5 You, god Agni, immortal and sweet-tongued, mortals seeking gods first welcome with their thoughts,Free of hatred, master of the house, never bewildered.

4.12.2 He who labors to bring you kindling, worshiping your great face, Agni,Feeding your fire at dusk and dawn, gains thriving riches and defeats his foes.

4.12.3 Agni rules over great sovereignty, Agni over the highest prize of wealth;The ever-young, self-governed one bestows treasure on the worshiping mortal without interruption.

4.12.4 If through human frailty, youngest one, we have committed any offense through ignorance,Make us innocent before Aditi; loosen our offenses on all sides, Agni.

4.12.5 Even from great offense, Agni, in the presence of gods and mortals, from the wide danger,Let us not forever lose your friendship; grant peace and welfare to our children and descendants.

4.13.2 The god Savitar has lifted his radiance, a glittering drop, like a hero seeking cattle;Varuna and Mitra follow their ordinance as they raise the sun into heaven.

4.13.3 The sun whom they made to part the darkness, seeking their goal, unwavering in their stations,Is carried by seven mighty golden mares, the watcher of all that moves.

4.13.4 With your strongest team you travel, unwinding the black thread, divine one, the dark covering;The sun's trembling rays have cast away darkness as if a hide into the waters.

4.13.5 Unsupported, unbound, how does he not fall down headfirst?By what self-power does he travel? Who has seen? The pillar of heaven supports the vault together.

Hymn 4.14 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.14.3 The ruddy one has come with light, vast, wondrous, manifest in her rays;Awakening us to good fortune, divine Ushas travels in her well-yoked chariot.

4.14.4 Let your fleetest horses bring you here on their chariot at the breaking of dawn;These soma draughts are ready for you to drink as honey; strong ones, delight in this sacrifice.

4.15.2 Agni travels the threefold sacrifice as a charioteer,Carrying refreshment to the gods.

4.15.3 Agni, lord of the prize and seer, has passed among the oblations,Setting treasures before the giver.

4.15.4 This is he whom Daivavata kindles before the Srinjayas,Bright, crusher of enemies.

4.15.5 The mortal blessed with this Agni, the generous one of sharp jaws,Will have power over heroes.

4.15.6 They polish him day by day like a winning horse,Like the ruddy child of heaven.

4.15.7 Somaka, the son of Sahadeva, awakened me with his two bay horses,Summoning me to his presence.

4.15.8 And those two worshipful bays from prince SahadevyaI accepted at once when they were presented.

4.15.9 O divine Ashvins, may this prince Somaka,Son of Sahadeva, enjoy a long life.

4.15.10 Divine Ashvins, grant that prince,The son of Sahadeva, a long life.

Hymn 4.16 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.16.1 Let truthful, generous Indra come, strong with pressed soma; let his bay horses race toward us;We have pressed this draught for him with skill; let him, praised, take delight here.

4.16.2 Hero, leave the far end of the road and rejoice in our pressing today;Like the wise Ushanas, he chants the hymn, an inspired thought for one who knows divine power.

4.16.3 Like a poet discovering the secret, accomplishing sacred assemblies, the bull sings, drinking the flowing stream;Thus he brought forth the seven singers from heaven, who by day made sacred designs and sang.

4.16.4 When the sun was found, fair to behold through hymns, when great lights shone in the day,He made the blind darkness visible to men, the greatest hero bringing aid.

4.16.5 Indra, powerful with soma, grew beyond measure, filling both heaven and earth with greatness;His glory surpassed even these, encompassing all worlds.

4.16.6 Shakra, knowing every heroic deed, released the waters with his beloved friends;With words they even split the rock, and the eager ones opened the cattle-filled enclosure.

4.16.7 You struck down Vritra, who enclosed the waters; earth, aware, favored your mace;You let loose the ocean streams and became their lord by strength, bold hero.

4.16.8 When you split the mountain for the waters, much-invoked one, Sarama first appeared to you;Lead us, opening the cattle pens with the Angirases, and bring us a great prize, praised one.

4.16.9 Turn toward the poet seeking cattle and sunlight, generous one, imploring help;Urge him on with your aid in his call for glory; the magical Dasyu without prayer sank down.

4.16.10 Come home intent on killing Dasyus; let Kutsa find the friendship he desires with you;Take your seats, alike, in your proper place; the woman who knows Truth discerned you both.

4.16.11 You ride one chariot with Kutsa, seeking to help, lord of the wind-swift bays;When the poet prepared to strike his foe, you sought the straight path to the prize.

4.16.12 For Kutsa you laid low Shushna, drained of strength, and Kuyava with his thousands at day's decline;At once you crushed the Dasyus with Kutsa and threw the sun's wheel down into their midst.

4.16.13 For Rijishvan, son of Vidathin, you subdued swollen Pipru and Mrigaya;You laid low fifty thousand dark ones and shattered forts like age shattering a body.

4.16.14 Assuming your form near the sun, when your immortal shape shines out,You are like a mighty elephant seeking strength, like a fearsome lion bearing weapons.

4.16.15 Desires for riches have come to Indra, eager at the soma-pressing as at a gathering for sunlight;The seekers of glory sing hymns, lovely as a home, fair to behold as thriving life.

4.16.16 We call that Indra, easy to summon, who performed so many heroic deeds,Who swiftly brings even a prize to a singer like me, he of lavish gifts.

4.16.17 When sharp lightning flashes among some company of men, O hero,When the clash grows terrible, be the guardian of our bodies.

4.16.18 Be the guardian of Vamadeva's songs, be a friend who does no harm in winning the prize;We have followed your wisdom; be generous to your singer always.

4.16.19 With these men who long for you, generous Indra, with the generous in every battle,May we shine above our rivals with splendors like heaven, enjoying many nights and autumns.

4.16.20 Thus we fashioned a prayer for Indra the mighty bull, as the Bhrigus fashion a chariot;Let our friendship never part; may the fierce one be our defender and guardian.

4.16.21 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.17 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, Viraj (15).

4.17.1 You are great, Indra; earth yields to you, and heaven honors your sovereignty in your greatness;Having slain Vritra by strength, you freed the rivers the serpent had swallowed.

4.17.2 At your birth heaven shook with the blaze of your power, earth shook in fear of your wrath;The well-formed mountains trembled; deserts grew damp and waters ran.

4.17.3 Hurling his mace, he split the mountain by strength, revealing his irresistible force;Rejoicing, he killed Vritra with the mace; the waters rushed forth, their captor struck down.

4.17.4 Heaven honored you as a mighty son; the maker of Indra was most skilled in his work,Begetting the sun-finding, well-armed one, unshaken from his station.

4.17.5 He alone moves the vast earth, Indra, much-invoked king of peoples;All truly rejoice in the generosity of the praised, bountiful god.

4.17.6 All soma was yours, and yours were all the most exhilarating draughts of the great;You truly became lord of treasure and all peoples, Indra, when bestowing gifts.

4.17.7 Even as you were first born, Indra, you held all peoples in your power;With the mace, generous one, you cut apart the serpent lying across the slope.

4.17.8 Indra, breaker in every battle, daring and immense, the boundless, well-armed bull,Slayer of Vritra and winner of prizes, the generous giver of generous gifts.

4.17.9 This one drives the gathered foe away; the generous one alone is heard in battle;He brings the prize he wins; may we be cherished in his friendship.

4.17.10 He is heard prevailing and striking down, and he sets the cattle free by combat;When Indra shows his true fury, all things firm and moving fear him.

4.17.11 Indra won cattle and gold together, and the generous one won many horses;With these men, greatest hero, he divides the riches and gathers the treasure.

4.17.12 How much does Indra take from his mother, how much from the father who begot him?Who rouses his force again and again, like wind driven by thunderclouds?

4.17.13 He makes the settled wander, raising clouds of dust in a surge;He breaks apart like heaven armed with lightning, and sets the singer among riches.

4.17.14 He hastens the sun's wheel and checks its racing horse;The dark one lunges toward it at the bottom of the covering in its airy home.

4.17.15 In the dark river, like a priest at sacrifice.

4.17.16 Seeking cattle, horses, prizes, and sons, poets summon powerful Indra into friendship;We draw down the inexhaustible giver of children and protection, as a bucket into a well.

4.17.17 Be our guardian, our visibly present kin, watcher and merciful friend of soma-pressers;Be friend and father, father beyond fathers; make room for us desiring life, giver of strength.

4.17.18 As a friend, protect those who seek your friendship; singing Indra, grant strength to your singer;For we have made efforts in your service, honoring you through these acts, Indra.

4.17.19 When praised, generous Indra alone destroys the many irresistible Vritras;The singer he cherishes dwells under his shelter, where neither gods nor mortals bar the way.

4.17.20 Thus may vast, generous Indra make us truthful, sustaining the peoples and irresistible;You are king of generations; set great renown upon us, your singer.

4.17.21 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.18 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama, Indra (1), Aditi (4, 7). Deity: Vamadeva (1, 4, 7), Indra (2–4, 8–13). Meter: Trishtubh.

4.18.1 “This is the ancient path known from old, by which all the gods were born;By it too you must be born, fully grown; do not bring your mother to fall another way.”

4.18.2 “I shall not go out by this path; this way is hard to pass. I shall emerge across the side;Much remains for me to do: I must fight one and challenge another.”

4.18.3 He looked at his mother as she departed: “Shall I not follow? Now I shall follow!”In Tvashtri's house Indra drank the soma, pressed in the vessels, worth a hundred treasures.

4.18.4 “What could he do to one whom I bore for a thousand months and many autumns?There is none his equal among those already born or yet to be born.”

4.18.5 His mother, thinking him an object of reproach, hid Indra, though he was endowed with valor;Then he arose himself, clothed in splendor, and filled heaven and earth at his birth.

4.18.6 “These waters rush roaring together as if faithful to Truth, calling out;Ask them what they are saying. What mountain enclosure are the waters breaking?”

4.18.7 “What are these waters chanting to him, seeking a word of reproach against Indra?My son slew Vritra with a mighty blow and released the rivers.”

4.18.8 “Even the young woman cast you off; even Kushava swallowed you;Even the waters showed mercy to the infant; Indra himself rose up with strength.”

4.18.9 “Even Vyamsa struck you on the jaw, generous one, driving his weapon home;Then you rose above your wound and crushed the Dasa's head with your blow.”

4.18.10 A young cow bore you, an ancient bull, fierce, irresistible Indra;His mother set her restless calf free to roam, seeking a path for himself.

4.18.11 His mother asked the great bull, “Are the gods abandoning you, son?”Then Indra, about to kill Vritra, said: “Friend Vishnu, stride farther out.”

4.18.12 “Who made your mother a widow? Who sought to kill you when you lay there or walked?Which god showed you mercy when you seized your father by the foot and crushed him?”

4.18.13 “In need I cooked a dog's entrails; I found no mercy among the gods;I saw my wife dishonored; then the falcon brought me honey.”

Hymn 4.19 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.19.1 Thus, mace-bearing Indra, all the easily summoned gods here chose you as their ally,You, great and towering, grown beyond both heaven and earth, alone for Vritra's killing.

4.19.2 The gods let loose like aging things; you became sovereign, Indra, born of Truth;You struck the serpent lying around the flood and opened channels for all streams.

4.19.3 Insatiable, stretched out, unawake, sleeping unawares across seven slopes,You tore the limbless serpent apart with your mace, Indra.

4.19.4 Indra's strength shook the earth to its roots as wind shakes water;He broke the strongholds, yearning for strength, and tore open the mountain heights.

4.19.5 The waters rushed like mothers to a child; like chariots the stones advanced together;You satisfied the surging released waves and freed the dammed-up rivers, Indra.

4.19.6 For Turviti and Vayya you made the great, all-nourishing river flow;You calmed with homage the swelling flood, Indra, making the rivers easy to cross.

4.19.7 The roaring waters, like those who cannot speak, filled the young channels, knowing Truth;They filled the thirsty dry lands; Indra drove the waters down to their lord.

4.19.8 Through many praised dawns and autumns, having killed Vritra, you released the rivers;Indra broke through their encircling bonds, making the streams flow over the earth.

4.19.9 You brought the son from the ants and from his confinement, lord of bays;The blind man saw, seizing the serpent; the cripple emerged, and the joints were joined.

4.19.10 Your ancient deeds, inspired one, the wise man relates to one who knows;How, king, in each of your heroic acts you embraced the labors sung by your own voice.

4.19.11 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.20 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.20.1 May Indra come from afar or nearby to aid us, fierce giver of help;Mace-armed lord of men, strongest of all, overcoming combatants in the press of battle.

4.20.2 Let Indra come to us on his bays, turning toward us with aid and gifts;The mace-bearer, bountiful and mighty, attends our sacrifice in the winning of prizes.

4.20.3 Indra, put our sacrifice before you and bring our purpose to fulfillment;Mace-bearer, as one who casts the die for wealth, with you may we win the contest against our foes.

4.20.4 Come near to us, willing and gracious, self-governed one, to our freshly pressed soma;Drink the presented sweetness, Indra, and revel in the soma from the heights.

4.20.5 Him who grows vast through new poets, like a ripe tree, victorious as a sickle,As a youth ardent for a woman, him, much-invoked Indra, I call near.

4.20.6 Indra stands like a mountain, lofty in his own strength, fierce, born of old for victory;Holding his terrible heavy mace, like a vessel brimming with water and treasure.

4.20.7 None from birth can turn him away; no limit exhausts his generosity;Ever increasing, mighty and fierce, give us riches, much-invoked one.

4.20.8 You oversee the wealth and homes of men and open the fold of cattle;You teach men in combat and lead them forward to abundant heaps of treasure.

4.20.9 By what power, most powerful one, do I hear of that mighty act which you do repeatedly?You free the giver from many troubles, most discerning one, and grant wealth to the singer.

4.20.10 Do not neglect us: bring and give us that abundance of yours for the giver to give;For your new gift, praised in this hymn, we shall proclaim you, Indra, with our praises.

4.20.11 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.21 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.21.1 Let Indra come to us with help; praised here, let the hero share our feast;Growing mighty, whose manifold powers swell like the sovereignty of heaven, triumphant.

4.21.2 Praise here his mighty deeds, this man of great splendor and generous bounty,Whose purpose at the assembly, like a sovereign, prevails over hostile peoples.

4.21.3 Let Indra come swiftly from heaven, from earth, from the sea or the mist,With the Maruts from the sunlit place to aid us, or from the distant home of Truth.

4.21.4 Praise at gatherings Indra, lord of immense, abundant wealth,Who with Vayu wins cattle and boldly guides us toward riches.

4.21.5 Whoever steadies reverence upon reverence and sends forth speech to engender sacrifice,The priest, adorned with hymns, should bring much-honored Indra to our dwellings.

4.21.6 When thinkers turn their thought to the paths, sitting beside the stone at the cattle's hidden place,Let the household priest, our mighty bearer among gatherings, approach at daybreak.

4.21.7 When the bull's force supports the singer in battle,When it moves from the hidden cattle-place of Ushij toward thought, nourishment and joy.

4.21.8 When I open the mountain's enclosures, refreshing the rush of waters with milk,He finds the wild cow in the cattle's hidden place, when wise men lead him to the prize.

4.21.9 Your hands and palms are good, skillful in bringing gifts to the singer, Indra;Where do you dwell? In what do you delight in us? What awakens your joy to give us gifts?

4.21.10 Thus Indra, truthful sovereign of riches, killed Vritra and made room for Puru;Much-praised one, by your wisdom make us strong in wealth; may I share your divine help.

4.21.11 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.22 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.22.1 Whatever Indra favors and desires, let the great and mighty one make it ours:Prayer, praise, soma and hymns—the generous one who comes bearing the stone in strength.

4.22.2 The bull, casting his four-edged weapon, vigorous and strongest of men, skilled with his arms,Loosened the joints of the covering for beauty, parting its wool for his friends.

4.22.3 The god who at his birth was greatest among gods, great with prizes and great strength,Holding his shining mace in his arms, made heaven and wide earth tremble with might.

4.22.4 Every barrier and many slopes, the high heaven and earth shook at his birth;He lifts the cow's two mothers by his strength, while winds roar around him like men.

4.22.5 Those great deeds of yours, Indra, great one, deserve telling at every pressing:How, daring hero, you boldly overcame the serpent with your mace and strength.

4.22.6 All these deeds of yours are true, man of vast strength: cows stream from the bull's udder;Then the rivers, fearing your manly force, ran swiftly forth from you.

4.22.7 Then your divine sisters, lord of bays, praised you with their pleas, Indra,As you unbound their fetters and sent them streaming along their long course.

4.22.8 The exhilarating drop swells like a river; the worshiper's work and strength draw near you;Toward us turn the blazing reins of the powerful cow, like a swift horse toward its lead.

4.22.9 Grant us the highest, greatest heroic strengths, truly victorious one;Make Vritras easy for us to kill, and strike the mortal who seeks our harm.

4.22.10 Hear us indeed, Indra, bring us splendid prizes;Bring us every abundant nourishment; generous one, give us cattle.

4.22.11 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.23 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra, Truth (8–10). Meter: Trishtubh.

4.23.1 How shall the great one grow mighty? At whose priest's sacrifice will he delight and swell with soma?Drinking gladly, relishing the draught, the lofty one will hasten toward shining treasure.

4.23.2 What hero shares his feast? Who reaches him with noble thoughts?When does he discern a sign, when will his aid increase the devout worshiper's prosperity?

4.23.3 How does Indra hear when invoked? Hearing, how does he recognize our cries for help?What are his many precedents, and how do they call him a protector of the singer?

4.23.4 How shall the troubled worshiper reach his treasure through shining thought?Will the god become guardian of Truths for me, when he gladly accepts my homage?

4.23.5 How, and at what breaking dawn, did the god delight in a mortal's friendship?How did he grant his friends friendship, who gave their love wholly to him?

4.23.6 What portion of friendship goes to friends, and when shall we proclaim you a brother?For splendor his beautiful forms flow forth, bright as the sun, the loveliest gift of the cow.

4.23.7 Intent on killing treachery and the Indra-less deceiver, he sharpens his keen faces to thrust;Where fierce debts are paid for debts, he has driven back the distant, unknown Dawns.

4.23.8 For the aids of Truth are many; the thought of Truth destroys deceit;The song of Truth pierces deaf ears, awakening the shining mortal.

4.23.9 Truth has firm foundations and manifold shining forms of beauty;By Truth they seek enduring nourishment; by Truth the cows entered Truth.

4.23.10 The one who upholds Truth wins Truth; Truth's force speeds toward the cattle;For Truth the broad and deep two worlds, for Truth the cows in heaven yield their milk.

4.23.11 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.24 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, Anushtubh (10).

4.24.1 What fine praise will turn Indra, son of strength, toward us bearing riches?The hero gives treasure to his singer; people, may that lord of cattle free us from constraint.

4.24.2 He is to be invoked in Vritra's killing; he is to be praised; well-praised Indra gives true gifts;Generous to a mortal who worships and presses soma, he opens a broad way on his journey.

4.24.3 Men call him to the battle line, laying down their bodies for protection,When both sides meet in mutual violence, striving to win sons and descendants.

4.24.4 Peoples strive for purpose at the yoking, contending against each other for the flood;When warriors clash with tribes, some call on Indra in the fight.

4.24.5 Then some sacrifice to Indra's power, and some prepare and present the sacrificial cake;Then soma flows from the presser; then they seek to sacrifice to the bull.

4.24.6 He makes way for the man who presses soma for Indra who desires it;When they reach him with one mind, he makes him his friend in battle.

4.24.7 Whoever presses soma for Indra today, cooks meals and roasts grain,Indra puts powerful strength into him and eagerly responds to the man's songs.

4.24.8 When the righteous man faces battle and sees a long contest against his enemy,He calls the bull toward his wife, sharpened by soma-pressers in the house.

4.24.9 He sought a greater price, offering less; he came back without selling and without profit;He will not trade less for more; those of poor skill milk the speech dry.

4.24.10 Who will buy this Indra of mine for ten cows?When he has killed the Vritras, give him back to me.

4.24.11 Praised now, Indra, sung now, fill your singer with food as rivers fill their banks;A new prayer is made for you, lord of bay horses; may we be your charioteers through insight, forever.

Hymn 4.25 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.25.1 What man today, desiring gods, gladly delights in Indra's friendship?Who with fire kindled and soma pressed seeks the mighty help that crosses us over?

4.25.2 Who reveres him with words for the soma feast? Who longs for the shining cows?Who desires Indra's companionship, who his friendship and brotherhood, who the poet's aid?

4.25.3 Who today chooses the gods' help, invokes the Adityas, Aditi and light?Whose pressed draught will the Ashvins, Indra and Agni drink with undivided will?

4.25.4 For him Agni Bharata will offer shelter; long will he behold the rising sun,He who says, “Let us press soma for Indra, manliest man, greatest hero among men.”

4.25.5 Neither many nor few can overcome him; Aditi offers him wide shelter;The doer of good is dear, dear to Indra the willing, dear the well-protected, dear his soma-presser.

4.25.6 Easy to protect is the hero who wins the first prize; Indra makes the presser's meal his own;For the non-presser he is no kin, no friend, no brother: hard to win, he strikes down the unvoiced.

4.25.7 Indra, drinker of pressed soma, makes no friendship with a rich Pani who presses none;He strips away his wealth and strikes him bare; wholly for the presser and cook he stands.

4.25.8 Those beyond, those near, those between seek Indra; those bound seek Indra;Men settled or fighting, contending for the prize, invoke Indra.

4.26.1 I became Manu, and I became the sun; I am the inspired poet Kakshivat;I adorned Kutsa, son of Arjuna; I am the poet Ushanas. Look upon me.

4.26.2 I gave the land to the Arya, rain to the mortal worshiper;I brought the eager waters forth; the gods followed my command.

4.26.3 Rejoicing, I shattered the ninety-nine forts of Shambara;The hundredth, the dwelling, I gave to Divodasa Atithigva in the contest for all.

4.26.4 May the falcon soar far beyond the birds and outfly the swiftest hawks;Without wheels, by his own power, the great bird brought Manu the gods' beloved oblation.

4.26.5 When he carried it, shuddering, the wide paths let him fly swift as thought;The falcon quickly came with honeyed soma and won glory there.

4.26.6 The straight-flying falcon seized the stalk and brought the delightful draught from afar;The bold, god-guided bird brought soma down from the far upper heaven.

4.26.7 Having seized it, the falcon bore the soma with a thousand pressings, and ten thousand besides;There insight left its foes behind; in soma's ecstasy the wise outwitted fools.

Hymn 4.27 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: the Falcon, or Indra (5). Meter: Trishtubh, Shakvari (5).

4.27.1 While still in the womb I knew all the births of these gods;A hundred iron fortresses guarded me; then I flew out swiftly as a falcon.

4.27.2 He did not carry me willingly; I surpassed him in skill and strength;My insight left my enemies behind, and my swelling force crossed the winds.

4.27.3 When the falcon cried from heaven and the winds bore insight apart,The archer Krishanu, aiming hard with thought, loosed and shot his bowstring at him.

4.27.4 The straight-flying falcon carried him from the lofty height, like Bhujyu aided by Indra;A feather fell from the flying bird along the path of that swift flight.

4.27.5 Then the generous one received the white jar, filled with shining soma, bright drink,The choicest honey prepared by the priests, to drink for joy; Indra the hero received it to drink for joy.

Hymn 4.28 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Indra, or Indra and Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.28.1 Joined with you, Soma, your friend Indra made the waters flow for Manu;He killed the serpent, freed the seven rivers, opened their closed channels.

4.28.2 With you as ally, O drop, Indra at once stopped the sun's wheel by force;From its lofty station he cast away the immense deceiver pressing on all life.

4.28.3 Indra struck and Agni burned the Dasyus, Soma, at noon in battle;By their counsel, when many thousands took refuge in the stronghold, they cut them down.

4.28.4 Indra, you drove the Dasyus from every place and made the Dasa tribes powerless;Together you broke down enemies and earned renown through your blows.

4.28.5 Thus, truly generous Indra and Soma, you opened wide the wealth of horses and cows;You broke hidden things open with stone and made even the earth overflow.

4.29.3 Let him open his ears to the prize and follow the beloved way to joy;Swelling with strength for our benefit, may mighty Indra make our passage easy and safe.

4.29.4 With aid he comes to the imploring poet who calls and sings;The mace-armed one harnesses his swift steeds, bringing hundreds and thousands.

4.29.5 Protected by you, generous Indra, may we be your inspired singers and patrons,Sharing the wealth of great heaven, vast stores for your praised generosity.

4.30.2 Truly all peoples turn after you as spokes around a wheel;Truly you are great and renowned.

4.30.3 Not even all the gods resisted you, Indra,When you carried day through the night.

4.30.4 When for Kutsa in battle, for those beset,You stole the sun's wheel, Indra.

4.30.5 When you fought alone against all the gods who threatened,You struck your foes, Indra.

4.30.6 When for a mortal you set the sun free, Indra,And protected Etasha with your powers.

4.30.7 How, Vritra-killer, generous one, could you be so furiousThat you crossed beyond Danu there?

4.30.8 This indeed was your heroic deed, Indra, your act of manly force:You struck that hard-to-overcome woman, the daughter of heaven.

4.30.9 Even the daughter of heaven, the great one who grew mighty,Ushas, you crushed, Indra.

4.30.10 Ushas fled from her shattered chariot, terrified,When the bull struck her down.

4.30.11 Her chariot lies there, utterly shattered on the Vipash;She escaped far away.

4.30.12 And the overflowing Sindhu, stretching over the earth,You surrounded by magic, Indra.

4.30.13 And boldly you erased the knowledge of Shushna,When you smashed his forts.

4.30.14 And from the high mountain, Indra, you struck downShambara, the Dasa son of Kulitara.

4.30.15 And you struck down hundreds of thousands of Varchin's Dasas,As around the five spokes of a wheel.

4.30.16 And you, hundred-powered Indra, brought back the abandoned son of the maidenTo share in the hymns.

4.30.17 And Turvasha and Yadu, unable to swim,Indra, lord of power, knowingly carried across.

4.30.18 And across the Sarayu you drove the Aryas at once, Indra;You struck Arna and Chitraratha.

4.30.19 You led back the two abandoned men, the blind and the lame, Vritra-killer;Even this kindness of yours cannot be contained.

4.30.20 Indra broke open a hundred fortresses made of stoneFor generous Divodasa.

4.30.21 For Dabhiti, Indra by his magic put to sleepThirty thousand Dasas with their weapons.

4.30.22 You, Vritra-killer, are indeed the same lord of cattle, Indra,Who has gathered all these things.

4.32.20 Abundant giver, give us abundance, do not bring us little;For it is abundance you wish to give, Indra.

4.32.21 You are renowned as an abundant giver everywhere, heroic Vritra-killer;Make us share in your bounty.

4.32.22 I praise your two brown horses, discerning one, son of the cattle-winner;Do not loosen the cows from us.

4.32.23 Like two young maidens on a new little wooden stand,The brown pair shine on their journeys.

4.32.24 Ready for the rider at dawn and for the one who follows dawn,The tireless brown pair are ready on the journeys.

Hymn 4.33 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: the Ribhus. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.33.1 I send out speech to the Ribhus like a messenger; I praise the white cow spread beside me;Wind-driven on swift courses, the craftsmen circled heaven at once.

4.33.2 When the Ribhus gave relief to their parents, worn by age, through their skills,Then the wise entered the friendship of gods and brought sustenance to the mind.

4.33.3 Those who made their old, reclining parents young again, like sacrificial posts,May Vaja, Vibhvan and Ribhu, with Indra, sweet-flowing, protect our sacrifice.

4.33.4 For a year the Ribhus guarded the cow; for a year the Ribhus shaped her;For a year they bore her light: by these works they attained immortality.

4.33.5 The eldest said, “Make two bowls from the single one”; the younger said, “Let us make three.”The youngest said, “Make four.” Tvashtri, Ribhus, praised that word of yours.

4.33.6 The men spoke truly and did so; the Ribhus followed their own ordinance;Tvashtri saw the four radiant bowls and looked at them as at days.

4.33.7 When for twelve days the Ribhus rested in the unseen one's hospitality,They made fields fruitful, led out rivers, set plants in the desert and waters in lowlands.

4.33.8 Those who made the smooth-running chariot fit for men and the all-moving cow of every form,May those Ribhus carve us wealth, self-reliant, fine-working and skillful-handed.

4.33.9 The gods welcomed their works, beholding their wisdom with keen thought;Vaja was the gods' fine craftsman, Ribhu belonged to Indra, Vibhvan to Varuna.

4.33.10 You fashioned the two well-yoked horses for Indra that revel in inspired praise;Ribhus, grant us wealth and growing riches, safeguarding us like friends.

4.33.11 The gods set drink and delight for you today in friendship, not without your labor;Now, Ribhus, bestow treasure on us at this third pressing.

Hymn 4.34 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: the Ribhus. Meter: Trishtubh.

4.34.2 Knowing the birth of prize-giving riches, rejoice with the seasons, Ribhus;Your delights and abundance have come together; send us wealth rich in heroes.

4.34.3 This sacrifice has been made for you, Ribhus, which you received from ancient days as Manu did;Delighting in it, they stood before you; every first prize was present.

4.34.4 Now the laying down of treasures is yours, men, for the worshiping mortal;Drink, Vajas and Ribhus; I have given you this ample third pressing for joy.

4.34.5 Come near us, Vajas and Ribhu-lords, great generous men praised for riches;The drinks for you have come home at the day's appointed feast like new arrivals.

4.34.6 Come near, sons of strength, called with reverence to this sacrifice;In harmony with the patrons you accompany, drink honey with Indra, treasure-givers.

4.34.7 Together with Varuna drink soma, Indra; together with the Maruts, lover of song;Together with those who drink first and in season, with the divine wives who bring treasure.

4.34.8 Rejoice together with the Adityas, Ribhus, together with the mountains;Together with divine Savitar, together with the treasure-giving rivers.

4.34.9 You who shaped the Ashvins, the parents, the protecting cow and horses, Ribhus;You who made reins and parted the two worlds and made lovely children, Vibhvans.

4.34.10 You who grant wealth rich in cattle, prizes, heroes, treasures and abundant grain,Ribhus who drink first, rejoicing, grant us that, you who sing the gift.

4.34.11 Do not leave us; we have not wearied of you or failed to praise you, Ribhus, in this sacrifice;Rejoice with Indra, with the Maruts and the royal gods in the sharing of treasure.

4.35.2 Here has come the Ribhus' treasure; the finely pressed soma is ready to drink;Through skill and fine work you made one bowl into four.

4.35.3 You divided one bowl four ways when the friend said, “Part it and learn”;Then, skillful-handed Ribhus and Vajas, you followed the path to immortality among the gods.

4.35.4 Of what stuff was that bowl, which you made into four through inspired craft?Now press the draught for joy, and drink, Ribhus, the honey of soma.

4.35.5 With skill you made your parents young; with skill you made the gods' drinking bowl;With skill you shaped the two steeds to draw Indra, Ribhus whose treasure is prizes.

4.35.6 For the man who at the day's feast presses a potent draught to delight you, Vajas,Carve out wealth rich in every hero, Ribhus, rejoicing bulls.

4.35.7 You drank the morning pressing, lord of golden steeds; the midday pressing is yours alone;Now drink with your skilled treasure-giving friends the Ribhus, whom you made, Indra.

4.35.8 You became gods through your fine work and settled in heaven like falcons;Grant treasure, sons of strength; children of Sudhanvan, you became immortal.

4.35.9 This third, treasure-bearing pressing you fashioned with skillful hands;It is poured for you, Ribhus; drink it with the joys of Indra.

Hymn 4.36 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: the Ribhus. Meter: Jagati, Trishtubh (9).

4.36.1 Born without horses or reins, your three-wheeled chariot, worthy of praise, circles the heavens;Great is this divine deed proclaimed of you, Ribhus, that you nourish heaven and earth.

4.36.2 You wise ones made a smoothly turning chariot, tireless through your thought and design;For a drink at this pressing we now call you near, Vajas and Ribhus.

4.36.3 This deed of yours deserves praise among gods, Vajas, Ribhus and Vibhvan, for its grandeur:How you shaped your ancient, decrepit parents young again so they could move about.

4.36.4 We divided one bowl into four, and through thought freed the cow from her hide;Then you reached immortality among gods: Vajas, Ribhus, this is what they celebrate of you.

4.36.5 Wealth won through the Ribhus is foremost in fame, the treasure the prize-renowned men engendered;Shaped by Vibhvan and praised in assemblies, whoever the gods protect is distinguished among men.

4.36.6 That man is a winning horse, a sage of eloquence, a warrior archer hard to overcome in battle;He acquires wealth and heroic sons whom Vaja, Vibhvan and the Ribhus favor.

4.36.7 Your fairest, loveliest shape has been set before us: accept this song, Vajas and Ribhus;You are wise poets of insight; through this prayer we bring you to awareness.

4.36.8 Out of your wisdom, grant us, knowing ones, every manly enjoyment;Fashion us brilliant prize and highest strength, Ribhus, and vital wealth.

4.37.2 May the sacrifices be welcome to your hearts and minds; today they come clothed in ghee;The full pressed draughts glow for you, and when drunk gladden wisdom and skill.

4.37.3 To you, Vajas and Ribhu-lords, I offer the threefold god-ordained song;Like Manu, among later peoples, I pour soma with you in the days of great heaven.

4.37.4 You are well-fed horses and shining chariots, with iron jaws, winning and well-adorned;Sons of Indra, sons of strength, he recognizes your foremost portion for delight.

4.37.5 We summon Ribhu and the Ribhu-lords, the most winning allies in the contest,Rich in Indra, best in lasting victory, swift as the Ashvins.

4.37.6 The mortal whom you Ribhus and Indra protect,May he win through insight, in the contest for wisdom and horses.

4.37.7 Open a path for us to sacrifice, Vajas and Ribhu-lords;Praised patrons, bring us every hope of rescue.

Hymn 4.38 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Dadhikra, Heaven and Earth (1). Meter: Trishtubh.

4.38.1 And of old you two gave gifts which Trasadasyu distributed among the Purus;You gave fertile fields and lands, and fierce, overpowering blows against Dasyus.

4.38.2 You also gave Dadhikra, the prize-winning horse who breaks through every barrier, serving every people,Straight-flying as a falcon, swift with shining drops, active like a noble king, like a hero.

4.38.3 All Puru's folk rejoice in him, rushing like water down a slope;Grasping with his hooves, heroic and eager for contest, he races like wind against chariots.

4.38.4 He breaks through obstacles in contests, passing secretly among the cattle;Brightly he reveals himself at assemblies, crossing the human struggle.

4.38.5 The people shout after him in battle, as after a thief snatching clothes,As he swoops low like a swooping falcon, toward fame and cattle-rich herds.

4.38.6 When he first dashes out ahead of the chariot lines, he whinnies;Like a handsome youth putting on a garland, he licks the flying dust and bares his teeth.

4.38.7 The conquering horse, true to Truth, eager in body for combat,Runs swiftly among the runners, straight-flying, scattering dust above his brow.

4.38.8 His enemies fear him as they fear the thunder of heaven;When he fights a thousand, terrible and hard to turn, he shines.

4.38.9 The people praise the swift one's drive, his conquest running before the tribes;As they charge into battle they say, “Dadhikra has raced beyond thousands.”

4.38.10 With strength Dadhikra has spread across the five peoples like the sun with its light across waters;Prize-winning horse, winner of thousands and hundreds, may he sweeten all these words with honey.

Hymn 4.39 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Dadhikra. Meter: Trishtubh, Anushtubh (6).

4.39.2 I praise the great horse, fulfilling purpose, Dadhikra, the much-honored bull,Whom Mitra and Varuna gave to the Purus, blazing like Agni, to carry them across.

4.39.3 Whoever honors the horse Dadhikra at dawn when Agni is kindled,May Aditi make him sinless, in harmony with Mitra and Varuna.

4.39.4 When we ask for the great food and strength of Dadhikra, the gracious name of the Maruts,We call Varuna, Mitra, Agni and mace-armed Indra for well-being.

4.39.5 Both parties call him like Indra as they raise the sacrifice;Mitra and Varuna, you gave us Dadhikra, the horse, to drive mortals onward.

4.39.6 I have praised victorious Dadhikra, the winning horse;May he make our mouths fragrant and carry our lives forward.

4.40.2 The powerful one, seeking sustenance and cattle, eager for service, for glory and dawn, surges forward;True, running and swift, winged Dadhikra produces food, strength and sunlight.

4.40.3 As he runs swiftly, his plume streams behind him like a bird's feather;Like a falcon on the wing, Dadhikra crosses with his great strength.

4.40.4 The winning horse rushes at the goad, held about his neck and against his flanks;Dadhikra follows the purpose, snorting along the curves of the paths.

4.40.5 A swan in the pure realm, a Vasu in midair, a priest at the altar, a guest at the hearth;Among men, in the heights, in Truth and heaven, born of water, cattle, Truth and mountain—Truth itself.

4.41.3 Indra and Varuna, grant treasure to men who honor you thus,When the two friends gladly delight in the pressed soma offered for your friendship.

4.41.4 Indra and Varuna, fierce ones, cast down your brightest and strongest mace on him,That evil wanderer who seeks to cheat us; measure your overpowering strength against him.

4.41.5 Indra and Varuna, be guides of this thought of ours, as bulls guide the cow;May that great cow yield us milk in a thousand streams as she comes to our aid.

4.41.6 For our children and offspring, fertile fields, the sight of sunlight and virile force,Indra and Varuna, wondrous ones, guard us here with your help through the night.

4.41.7 We choose you for ancient help, seeking cows, kindly friends,And cherished friendship, most generous heroes, beneficent as fathers.

4.41.8 Our thoughts race to you for aid, like runners in a contest, generous ones;The soma bowls stand ready as cows for beauty; my songs seek Indra and Varuna.

4.41.9 These thoughts of mine approach Indra and Varuna seeking treasure;They stand before you like lovers of wealth, swift in begging for glory.

4.51.1 This manifold light rose in the east, bright with forms from the darkness;Now the Dawns, heaven's shining daughters, make a path for humankind.

4.51.3 Dawns, dawning today, rouse the generous to give gifts, bountiful ones;Let the Panis sleep unawakened in the midst of unfigured darkness.

4.51.4 Divine Dawns, will you have an ancient or a new course for us today,With which you once shone richly on the ninefold and tenfold Angiras and the seven-mouthed one?

4.51.5 For you, divine Dawns, circle all the worlds at once with horses yoked to Truth,Waking from sleep all life, those who walk on two feet and four, to move about.

4.51.6 Which of them is the oldest, the one by whom the Ribhus ordered their work?When the radiant Dawns travel in beauty, they cannot be distinguished: alike and ageless.

4.51.7 Those ancient Dawns were blessed, glorious with aid, born from Truth and faithful to Truth;In their days the worshiper, singing and praising with hymns, found treasure at once.

4.53.6 Lord of both moving and still, source of great joy, who urges forth and brings to rest,May this god Savitar grant us shelter for life, a triple defense against distress.

4.53.7 The god has come with the seasons: may he increase our home, grant us fine offspring and nourishment;May Savitar refresh us by night and day and bestow wealth rich in children.

4.54.3 If unknowingly we have offended the divine people through feeble skill or human presumption,Among gods and mortals, Savitar, absolve us of that offense here.

4.54.4 The divine Savitar's power will not fail in upholding the whole world;What he impels across earth's expanse and the height of heaven is true.

4.54.5 You send the inhabitants of these homes to great mountains ruled by Indra;As they fly out and return, so they remain under your impulse, Savitar.

4.54.6 May your three impellings, Savitar, each day and every day send us good fortune;May Indra, heaven and earth, Sindhu with the waters, and Aditi with the Adityas grant us shelter.

Hymn 4.55 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh, Gayatri (8–10).

4.55.1 Who will guard us, Vasus, who defend us? Heaven, earth and Aditi, save us;Varuna and Mitra, save us from a stronger mortal; gods, who will grant you space in the rite?

4.55.2 Those unerring gods revealed their ancient stations and shone forth, makers of the dawn;They appointed the ordinances and shone wondrously, unwearied thinkers of Truth.

4.55.3 With songs I praise household Aditi, the river goddess, for welfare and friendship;May undefiled Dawn and Night protect us throughout both days.

4.55.4 Aryaman and Varuna know the way; Agni, lord of food, knows the good path;Indra and Vishnu, praised like heroes, grant us shelter, a mighty defense.

4.55.5 Let the help of the mountain and Maruts, of god the guardian and Bhaga, come;May Mitra protect us from a stranger's distress, and save us from an unfriendly friend.

4.55.6 Now praise divine heaven and earth with Ahi Budhnya and these offerings;As seekers on the sea, let the hot-flowing rivers open the way.

4.55.7 Let divine Aditi with the gods protect us; let the guardian god protect without neglect;For we must not transgress the command of Mitra, Varuna or Agni.

4.55.8 Agni rules over treasure and great good fortune;May he grant these things to us.

4.55.9 Bring us many precious gifts, bountiful Ushas, truthful one,Rich in prizes.

4.55.10 May Savitar, Bhaga, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman,And Indra come to us with gifts.

Hymn 4.56 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Trishtubh, Gayatri (5–7).

4.56.1 Let mighty heaven and earth, the eldest here, shine with radiant hymns;The broad pair expand, and the roaring bull fills them with his courses.

4.56.2 Divine, unviolated, the two stand, overflowing with the gods worshipful at sacrifice;Faithful to Truth and without deceit, mothers of gods, leading the sacrifice through radiant songs.

4.56.3 He was indeed the skillful worker among worlds, who gave birth to heaven and earth;The wise one shaped the wide, deep and lovely realms, without any support, through his power.

4.56.4 Now, heaven and earth, give us broad defenses and sustenance together with your consorts;The wide pair guard every worshiper; may we be your charioteers through insight forever.

4.56.5 To you two, mighty heaven and earth, we bring this hymn of praise,Pure ones worthy of celebration.

4.56.6 Cleansing yourselves, you two reign together by your own skill;You bear the ancient Truth.

4.56.7 You two uphold the great ordinance of Mitra, crossing over, sustaining Truth;You sit around the sacrifice.

Hymn 4.57 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Lord of the Field (1–3), Shuna (4), Shuna and Sira (5, 8), Sita (6–7). Meter: Anushtubh, Trishtubh (2–3, 8), Ushnih (5).

4.57.1 With the lord of the field as our friend, we win our way,Nourishing cow and horse; may he favor us in this.

4.57.2 Lord of the field, yield us a honeyed wave as a cow yields milk;May the lords of Truth favor us with honey-dripping bounty, pure as clarified ghee.

4.57.3 May plants, heaven and waters be honeyed, may the air be honeyed to us;May the lord of the field be honeyed to us, and may we follow him unharmed.

4.57.4 Bless the draft animals, bless the men, bless the plow as it plows;Bless the harness straps as they are fastened, and lift the goad with blessing.

4.57.5 Shuna and Sira, accept this prayer, and with the milk you made in heaven,Water this land.

4.57.6 Come toward us, blessed furrow, Sita; we honor you;Bring us good fortune and fruitful crops.

4.57.7 May Indra take hold of the furrow and Pushan guide her on;May she yield rich milk for us year after year.

4.57.8 Let the plowshares cut the ground with blessing, the farmers advance with their teams in blessing;Let Parjanya rain honeyed milk with blessing; Shuna and Sira, set blessing upon us.

Hymn 4.58 — Seer: Vamadeva Gautama. Deity: Agni, or Surya, the waters, the cows, or praise of ghee. Meter: Trishtubh, Jagati (11).

4.58.1 A honeyed wave rose from the ocean; in the hidden stream it reached immortality;The secret name of ghee is the tongue of the gods and the navel of immortality.

4.58.2 Let us proclaim the name of ghee and uphold it with reverence at this sacrifice;Let the priest hear as it is praised: the four-horned bull has uttered this.

4.58.3 Four horns, three feet, two heads, seven hands are his;Threefold bound, the bull bellows: the great god has entered mortals.

4.58.4 The gods discovered ghee hidden threefold in the cow by the Panis;Indra brought forth one part, Surya one, and from Vena they fashioned one by their own power.

4.58.5 These streams flow from the ocean of the heart in a hundred channels unseen by the foe;I behold the streams of ghee, the golden reed among them.

4.58.6 They flow together like rivers, cleansed within the heart by the mind;These waves of ghee rush like deer fleeing an arrow.

4.58.7 Like the Sindhu on its journey, swift as wind, mighty streams run;The streams of ghee swell in waves like a ruddy horse breaking through the bounds.

4.58.8 They pour toward Agni like women at a gathering, beautiful and smiling;Streams of ghee reach the kindling, and the all-knowing one eagerly receives them.

4.58.9 Like brides approaching their wedding, adorned with ointment, I watch them;The streams of ghee flow toward the place where soma is pressed and sacrifice is made.

4.58.10 Flow to our fair praise and cattle-rich prize; grant us blessed riches;Lead our sacrifice to the gods: the streams of ghee flow sweetly.

4.58.11 Your dwelling rests upon the entire world, within the sea, the heart and living breath;In the midst of the waters, brought to the gathering, may we attain your honeyed wave.

Hymn 5.1 — Seers: Budha and Gavisthira Atreya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.1.1 Agni awakened by the people's kindling to meet oncoming Dawn, like a cow;Like great branches rising, his beams streamed toward the vault of heaven.

5.1.2 The priest awoke to worship the gods; Agni rose upright and glad at morning;The kindled one's radiant force appeared, and the great god escaped the darkness.

5.1.3 When he puts the band's harness in motion, pure Agni anoints himself with pure rays;The prize-seeking offering is yoked, and upright he receives it from upturned ladles.

5.1.4 The thoughts of god-seekers converge on Agni as eyes converge on the sun;When the two unlike mothers bring him forth, a white steed is born at the head of days.

5.1.5 At the head of days the victorious one was born, the ruddy one placed in the woods;Bearing seven treasures in every home, Agni, most worthy of worship, took his seat as priest.

5.1.6 Agni, most worshipful priest, sat in his mother's fragrant lap;Young seer, ever faithful to Truth, support of peoples, he was kindled in their midst.

5.1.7 With reverence they praise at sacrifices that inspired, fitting priest Agni;He stretched heaven and earth out through Truth; they always polish the prize-winner with ghee.

5.1.8 Cleaned in his own home, master of the house, a guest praised by poets, he blesses us;Thousand-horned bull, with that strength overwhelm every other foe, Agni.

5.1.9 At once you outstrip the others, Agni, when you show yourself most beautiful to someone;Worthy of worship, splendid and radiant, beloved guest of human peoples.

5.1.10 Peoples bring you tribute, youngest Agni, from near and far;Take notice of the gracious thought of the most blessed; vast and blessed is your great shelter.

5.1.11 Climb today your shining chariot, bright Agni, together with those worthy of worship;Knowing the paths of the vast air, bring the gods here today to eat the oblation.

5.1.12 For the pure poet, the praiseworthy bull, I have spoken a word of praise;Gavisthira set his homage-song in Agni like a far-shining ornament in heaven.

Hymn 5.2 — Seer: Kumara Atreya, or Vrisha Jana, or both (Vrisha Jana in 2 and 9). Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh, Shakvari (12).

5.2.1 A young mother carries a concealed child in secret and will not hand him to the father;People cannot diminish his face; they see him hidden before them in the struggle.

5.2.2 What child is this that you bear close, young woman? The mighty lady bore him;For many autumns the embryo grew; I saw him born when his mother gave birth.

5.2.3 I saw him from afar in the field, golden-toothed and brilliant, wielding weapons;I offer him immortal drink; what can the Indra-less, hymn-less ones do to me?

5.2.4 I saw him traveling secretly from the field, shining like a splendid herd;They did not seize them, for he was born; even the old cows become young again.

5.2.5 Who drive my young one away with cows, who have no herdsman even in a strange land?Let those who seized him set him free; the discerning one approaches his kindred cattle.

5.2.6 Foes hid the king of goods, the people's dwelling, among mortals;Let Atri's prayers set him free, and let his accusers become accused.

5.2.7 You freed Shunahshepa, bound to the post by a thousand bonds; he gained peace;So free us from our bonds, Agni, and sit here now, discerning priest.

5.2.8 “When you were angry, you went away from my feast,” the guardian of divine ordinances told me;Wise Indra explained you to me, and by his instruction I have come, Agni.

5.2.9 Agni shines with great light, revealing all through his grandeur;He conquers wicked, ungodly deceptions and sharpens his horns against the Rakshasas.

5.2.10 Let Agni's keen-armed weapons sound in heaven to strike the Rakshasas;Even in his delight his flames break forth; godless obstacles cannot resist him.

5.2.11 This hymn to you, many-born one, I, a poet, have fashioned as a wise craftsman shapes a chariot;If you welcome it, divine Agni, we shall win the waters rich in sunlight.

5.2.12 “Thick-necked and swelling, the bull knows the assembly where foes are overcome”:Thus the immortals spoke of this Agni; he shall grant shelter to oblation-bearing Manu with his ritual grass, grant shelter to oblation-bearing Manu.

5.3.8 At this dawn the ancients made you their messenger, god, and worshiped with offerings;When, Agni, you go to gather riches, a god kindled among mortals with treasures.

5.3.9 Turn toward the father, fight knowingly as a son, son of strength, for the one who has called you;When will you look upon us, discerning Agni? When will you lead us to Truth?

5.3.10 A father gives much in the name of the one honoring him, gracious one, if you favor this;May Agni, growing strong, win the god's favor, eager through his strength.

5.3.11 Youngest Agni, carry your singer past every trouble;Thieves and hostile men have been exposed; their schemes are known as crooked.

5.3.12 These paths have led toward you, or else this fault was spoken for treasure;Surely Agni is not here to curse us; growing strong, he will not leave us to injury.

5.4.8 Accept our sacrifice and oblation, Agni, son of strength who dwells in three places;May we do good among gods; shelter us under your triple defense.

5.4.9 Carry us over all dangers, all-knowing one, as a boat carries us across a river;Agni, praised with homage like Atri, be the guardian of our lives.

5.4.10 When I, a mortal, mindful with a grateful heart, call you, immortal one,Set glory among us, all-knowing one; may we attain immortality through our children, Agni.

5.28.1 Kindled Agni raises his flame to heaven, shining broadly toward the oncoming dawn;Vishvavara comes from the east in homage, invoking the gods with ghee-rich offering.

5.28.2 As you are kindled, you reign over immortality and attend the man who makes offerings for well-being;Agni, the one who welcomes you as guest and sets you before him receives every treasure.

5.28.3 Agni, be strong for great good fortune; may your splendors be supreme;Bring husband and wife together in harmony, and rise above the great designs of our foes.

5.28.4 Kindled Agni, full of great power, I praise your splendor;You are a bull of glory, kindled at sacrifices.

5.28.5 Agni, kindled and fed with oblations, worship the gods with a fine sacrifice;For you carry oblations.

5.28.6 Pour oblations, pay honor to Agni as the rite advances;Choose the bearer of offerings.

Hymn 5.29 — Seer: Gauriviti Shaktya. Deity: Indra, or Ushanas (9). Meter: Trishtubh.

5.29.1 Men held the three Aryamans at the divine gathering and upheld the three heavenly lights;The Maruts of pure skill praise you, Indra; you are their inspired and discerning sage.

5.29.2 When the Maruts praised Indra, rejoicing, who had drunk the pressed soma,He took his mace and struck the serpent, freeing the great waters to flow.

5.29.3 Let the Maruts attend my prayer; let Indra drink the finely pressed soma;This oblation is for him: he found the cows for Manu, killed the serpent and drank soma.

5.29.4 Then he braced heaven and earth wider apart, though closely joined, making the beast afraid;Indra struck down the breathing Danu's son, gasping and roaring as he fell.

5.29.5 Then all the gods, generous one, gladly yielded you the soma draught,When you halted the sun's racing golden horses before Etasha's advance.

5.29.6 When the generous one cut away his ninety-nine pleasures together with his mace,The Maruts praised Indra at their common dwelling and touched heaven with Trishtubh song.

5.29.7 Agni quickly cooked three hundred bulls for his friend, by his design;Indra drank three lakes of pressed soma together to kill Vritra.

5.29.8 When the generous one drank three lakes of soma and ate three hundred bulls,All the gods called to him for aid, as to a worker, when he killed the serpent.

5.29.9 When you and Ushanas went together, Indra, with eager horses to the house,You rode one chariot here with Kutsa and, with the gods, overcame Shushna.

5.29.10 You tore away one wheel of the sun and made the other a path for Kutsa;You struck the noseless Dasyus and shut in their hostile speech within their evil homes.

5.29.11 Gauriviti's songs exalted you; you subdued Pipru for Vidathin's son;Rijishvan made you his friend, cooking meals, and you drank his soma.

5.29.12 The ninefold and tenfold priests press soma and praise Indra with hymns;Devoted men opened even that broad, covered cattle-stall.

5.29.13 How can I, knowing, recount the heroic deeds you performed, generous one,And the new ones you will perform, strongest one? I shall tell them at our gatherings.

5.29.14 All these abundant deeds you have performed, Indra, unrivaled from birth in heroic power;Whatever deeds you boldly perform now, mace-bearer, none can turn your strength aside.

5.29.15 Accept the prayers being made for you, Indra, the new ones we have fashioned, strongest one;Like fine clothes well made for one seeking riches, I shaped them as a clever craftsman a chariot.

Hymn 5.30 — Seer: Babhru Atreya. Deity: Indra, Rinanchaya and Indra (12–15). Meter: Trishtubh.

5.30.1 Where is the hero? Who has seen Indra driving his easy chariot with two bay horses,Mace-bearing lord of riches who seeks pressed soma, much-invoked guest bringing aid?

5.30.2 I spoke of his dwelling, seeking after the mighty storekeeper and his place;I asked others, and they said to me, “Let us, awakened men, reach Indra.”

5.30.3 Let us now declare at the pressing the deeds you have done, Indra, which gave us joy;Let the unknowing learn and the knowing hear; the generous one comes with all his host.

5.30.4 At birth you made your mind firm, Indra, ready alone to fight against many;With strength you split even the rock and found the broad fold of shining cows.

5.30.5 When you were born in the farthest distance, bearing a name heard afar,Even the gods feared Indra; he won all the waters ruled by the Dasa.

5.30.6 These gracious Maruts sing praise and press soma for you;Indra mastered with his magic the magician serpent who lay enchanting the waters.

5.30.7 From birth you have conquered adversaries, generous one, desiring the cows;There you rolled off the head of Namuchi the Dasa, seeking to open a path for Manu.

5.30.8 For you made me your ally, Indra, as you crushed the Dasa Namuchi's head;Even the sunlit rolling rock you sent across the two worlds to the Maruts like a wheel.

5.30.9 The Dasa made women his weapons; what could his helpless armies do to me?Indra saw his two cows within and advanced against the Dasyu in battle.

5.30.10 All around, cows lowed together when they were separated from their calves;Indra reunited them with his strength when well-pressed soma delighted him.

5.30.11 When Babhru's poured soma delighted him, the bull roared in his dwellings;Indra, fort-destroyer, having drunk his soma, gave the radiant cows back again.

5.30.12 The Rushamas did this generous thing, Agni, giving four thousand cows;We accepted Rinanchaya's presented gifts, the mightiest among men.

5.30.13 The Rushamas send me home splendidly adorned with thousands of cows, Agni;The potent pressed draughts delighted Indra at the breaking of the surrounding night.

5.30.14 That encompassing night gave way among the Rushamas under King Rinanchaya;Babhru, swift as a prize horse being urged on, won four thousand.

5.30.15 Four thousand head of cattle we received among the Rushamas, Agni;Even the heated iron cauldron at the feast, poets, we overcame.

Hymn 5.31 — Seer: Avasya Atreya. Deity: Indra, or Kutsa and Ushanas (8), Indra and Kutsa (9). Meter: Trishtubh.

5.31.1 Indra makes the slope smooth for the prize-seeking chariot the generous one has mounted;Like a herdsman parting his herd, he passes unharmed in the lead to win.

5.31.2 Race toward us, lord of bays; do not turn away; lord of tawny bounty, stay beside us;No one offers better than you, Indra; you made even the motherless mothers.

5.31.3 Strength arose when Indra was born of strength; he brought every divine power into view;He stirred the milk-rich cows within the pen and turned darkness away with light.

5.31.4 Tvashtri fashioned your chariot fit for horses, and your shining mace, much-invoked one;Priests exalted Indra with hymns, making him stronger to slay the serpent.

5.31.5 When the stones and Aditi in accord sang your song, bull Indra,The horseless, chariotless wheels, sent by Indra, rolled against the Dasyus.

5.31.6 I have told your ancient deeds, and now the new deeds you performed, generous one;How, armed with power, you divided both worlds, winning Danu's marvelous waters for Manu.

5.31.7 That was your deed, marvelous sage, when you slew the serpent and measured its strength;You seized Shushna's deceptions and drove off the Dasyus when day approached.

5.31.8 When you made the milk-rich waters stop on the far bank for Yadu and Turvasha, Indra,You carried fierce Kutsa; together with Ushanas you two held back the gods.

5.31.9 Indra and Kutsa, borne upon a chariot, may your mighty forces reach our ears;Blow darkness out of the generous one's heart, from places where it dwells.

5.31.10 Even the poet Avasya has sought your horses, swift-yoked with wind;All the Maruts here are your friends, Indra, and prayers increase your power.

5.31.11 Even the sun puts his chariot first at night, driving what follows;Etasha brings the wheel, setting it forward to accomplish our purpose.

5.31.12 Indra has come to look upon this people, seeking a soma-presser as a friend;The pressing stone speaks, the altar is prepared, and the officiants hasten to him.

5.31.13 Mortals who desired you are dear to you now, immortal one; let no distress touch them;Strengthen the worshipers, plant strength among the people whose number we wish to join.

Hymn 5.32 — Seer: Gatu Atreya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.32.1 You broke open the spring and freed its channels; you stopped the floods held captive;When you split the great mountain, Indra, you released the streams and struck Danu's son.

5.32.2 You unbound the springs and the mountain's udder held fast through the seasons, mace-bearer;Having killed the fierce serpent stretched out asleep, you took strength upon yourself, Indra.

5.32.3 Indra struck down with his powers even that great untrackable beast,Who alone thought himself without an equal, though another, stronger one was born.

5.32.4 That son of the cloud, flourishing in darkness and reveling in his own might,The mace-bearer struck down Shushna, the Danu's burning power, with his mace.

5.32.5 Though his enemy had hidden himself through cunning, he found the weak one's vulnerable place;Strong sovereign, you hurled him, eager to fight, into a house of darkness.

5.32.6 Even the one who lay there, swollen in sunless darkness,Indra the bull, roused by the pressed soma, struck from above with a loud cry.

5.32.7 When Indra raised his irresistible weapon against the mighty Danu's son,When the mace's force overwhelmed him, he made him lowest of all beings.

5.32.8 Even that greedy eater of honey, lying in his broad mountain fastness, the fierce one struck;With a great blow he shut the footless glutton of hostile speech into his evil home.

5.32.9 Who could hold back his fierce strength? Unopposed, he alone carries off the prize;Even these divine realms, Indra's own, recoil in fear of his power.

5.32.10 The divine axe yields to Indra; the singer Gatu offers it willingly;When all power joins with them, peoples bow before the self-possessed one.

5.32.11 I hear of you alone, true lord of the five peoples, born renowned among men;Invoking you, Indra, by night and day, they grasp this newest hope of mine.

5.32.12 So I hear that you in season send gifts to poets;What do your priestly friends receive, Indra, those who placed their longing on you?

Hymn 5.33 — Seer: Samvarana Prajapatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.33.1 I meditate on great men for great, mighty Indra, stronger than all the mighty;Praised in the struggle for prizes, he recognizes the man who thinks well of him.

5.33.2 And you, Indra, summoned by songs and inspired thought, have yoked your powerful bay horses;As you please, generous one, carry them forward to visit these people.

5.33.3 Those horses of yours were not yoked for our sake, lofty Indra, when prayers were absent;Climb that chariot, mace in hand; with fine steeds, god, take up the reins.

5.33.4 Many are your hymns, Indra, for what you did for cattle fighting in fertile fields;For the sun you made a home, bull, and won even the Dasa's name in battles.

5.33.5 We and these men are yours, Indra, born as a host, our chariots drawing near;Come among us, serpent-subduing hero, as lovely Bhaga comes to offerings at feasts.

5.33.6 Indra, imperishable and surpassing men, power and heroic strength are yours to be desired;Grant us this wealth we long for; I praise your gift, generous beyond measure.

5.33.7 So shield us with your aid, Indra, heroic one, your praising poets;Guard the man who offers his hide in the contest for prizes; drink the lovely, finely pressed honey.

5.33.8 And may Trasadasyu's ten white horses carry me, gifts of the gold-adorned lord, son of Purukutsa;I join in the wise designs of Gairikshita.

5.33.9 And may the red horses of Marutashva, generous for the sacred gathering,Carry me; Chyavatana gave me thousands, and the noble one shone splendidly before me.

5.33.10 And those beloved bright horses of Dhvanya, of Lakshmanya,Approached the wealth of sage Samvarana, ready as cows to their fold.

Hymn 5.34 — Seer: Samvarana Prajapatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati, Trishtubh (9).

5.34.1 Ageless, with no enemy born, radiant, the marvelous one moves by his own ordinance;Press soma and cook for the one borne by prayer; set the much-praised one before you.

5.34.2 He fills his belly with soma; the generous one rejoices in the honeyed draught,When Ushanas arms him to strike the beast with a mighty, thousand-pointed weapon.

5.34.3 Whoever presses soma for him in the hot sun or the cow's udder becomes glorious;Sinless Shakra lifts him up; the generous one, friend of poets, shines in his body.

5.34.4 Whose father he has struck, or mother, or brother, Shakra does not fear that man;He eagerly consumes the prepared offerings and fears no guilt, maker of wealth.

5.34.5 He cannot be seized by five or ten; he joins neither the non-presser nor even the prosperous;He wins or strikes down the hoard, the roaring one, and shares the cattle-filled pen with god-seekers.

5.34.6 Swift-wielding in battle, his wheel catches the non-presser, while the presser thrives;Indra, conqueror of all and terrible, leads a Dasa at will as a master leads his servant.

5.34.7 He drives out the Pani's goods to take them and divides lovely wealth for the giver;Even in hardship the multitude of people bears the one who has awakened his power.

5.34.8 When generous Indra sees the two peoples rich in fine cattle and abundant force,He chooses the other as ally and, trembling with strength, looses the cattle with his heroes.

5.34.9 I praise the one who wins a thousand, the descendant of Agnivesha, Agni, foremost beacon of the noble;For him the waters held together swell; may fierce, mighty sovereignty belong to him.

Hymn 5.35 — Seer: Prabhuvasu Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh, Pankti (8).

5.35.1 Bring us the most effective of your protections, Indra, with greatest wisdom,The people-conquering one, victorious and impossible to overcome in contests.

5.35.2 If you have four, hero, or three protections, Indra,Or five for the peoples, bring these to us.

5.35.3 We call for your most desirable, most potent help;For you were born bull-strong, Indra, a victor among powers.

5.35.4 For you are a bull born for gifts, and bullish is your might;Your bold mind is self-ruled; your manhood conquers forever, Indra.

5.35.5 Indra, stone-bearer, ride against that hostile mortalWith every chariot, hundred-powered lord of strength.

5.35.6 Peoples with grass strewn call upon you,Fiercest Vritra-killer, ancient one, to win prizes.

5.35.7 Guard our chariot, Indra, unconquerable and leading in contests,Moving beside us in every fight for wealth, eager for the prize.

5.35.8 Come, Indra, protect our chariot with rich understanding;Strongest one, may we gain precious glory in heaven and compose a song in heaven.

Hymn 5.36 — Seer: Prabhuvasu Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, Jagati (3).

5.36.1 May Indra come, who knows how to give treasures, donor and giver of riches;Thirsting like a wild bull roaming the wastes, longing, let him drink the milk-pressed stalk.

5.36.2 Let soma climb your jaws and cheeks, lord of bays, like a mountain's slope;Like horses let all our songs urge you, king; let us rejoice in you, much-invoked one.

5.36.3 Like a turning wheel my mind shakes with fear of want, much-invoked stone-bearer;Will your singer ever praise you from the chariot, ever-growing generous lord of many treasures?

5.36.4 Like a pressing stone this singer sends forth a great eager voice to you, Indra;Send riches forward with your left hand, generous one, and with your right; do not turn away, lord of bays.

5.36.5 May bull heaven strengthen you, the bull, carried by two bull bays;Grant us, fine-cheeked bull of a mighty chariot, bull in purpose and mace-bearing bull, the prize.

5.36.6 He who accompanied two red prize steeds with three hundred followers,Let peoples bow before that youth, Shrutaratha; Maruts, honor him.

Hymn 5.37 — Seer: Atri Bhauma. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.37.1 Anointed with ghee upon his back, he unites with the sun's radiance as he pours the offering;For the man who says, “Let us press soma for Indra,” the Dawns break forth unstintingly.

5.37.2 His fire is kindled and prevails, grass spread, pressing stones set, soma pressed, song sounding;His pressing stones speak their eager words, and the priest brings oblation to the stream.

5.37.3 This bride comes seeking her husband, who will carry away the eager queen;His chariot will call out for glory and bring home many thousands.

5.37.4 The king for whom Indra drinks strong soma, mingled with milk, never falters;He drives with heroes, kills Vritra, dwells among peoples and makes his blessed name grow.

5.37.5 He thrives in peace and prevails in battle; he wins both kinds of contest;He is dear to Surya and dear to Agni, who has offered Indra pressed soma.

Hymn 5.38 — Seer: Atri Bhauma. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh.

5.38.1 Your gift flows from abundant largesse, Indra of a hundred powers;Lord of all people, generous sovereign, shower us with glory.

5.38.2 When you bestow food worthy of fame, strongest Indra,It spreads far in lasting renown, golden-hued and unconquerable.

5.38.3 Your strengths, stone-bearer, are rains flowing in brilliant streams;You reign over both heaven and earth, god, for our help.

5.38.4 And bring us a share of whatever power is yours, Vritra-killer;Bring heroic might to us, who seek men of strength.

5.38.5 Now under your shelter and these protections, hundred-powered Indra,May we be well guarded; hero, may we be well guarded.

Hymn 5.39 — Seer: Atri Bhauma. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh, Pankti (5).

5.39.1 Whatever splendid and pouring bounty you hold, Indra, stone-bearer,Bring us that wealth, treasure-finder, in both hands.

5.39.2 Bring here whatever you deem most precious, Indra, dwelling in light;Let us know the giving of your shoreless wealth.

5.39.3 With that great renowned mind of yours, eager to give,Carry toward us, stone-bearer, a prize even from the stronghold.

5.39.4 The greatest of generous men, king of peoples,Indra I delight to praise with manifold songs.

5.39.5 For him is this poetic word, the hymn sung to Indra;For him, bearer of prayer, the Atris' songs grow strong; the Atris adorn him with songs.

Hymn 5.40 — Seer: Atri Bhauma. Deity: Indra, Surya (5), Atri (6–9). Meter: Ushnih (1–3), Trishtubh (4, 6–8), Anushtubh (5, 9).

5.40.1 Come, drink soma pressed by the stones, lord of soma;Bull Indra, strongest Vritra-killer among bulls.

5.40.2 The pressing stone is a bull, the joy a bull, this pressed soma a bull;Bull Indra, strongest Vritra-killer among bulls.

5.40.3 I summon you, a bull, O bull armed with the mace, through splendid protections;Bull Indra, strongest Vritra-killer among bulls.

5.40.4 Strong with soma, mace-bearing bull, swift conqueror, mighty king and Vritra-killer, soma-drinker,Let Indra yoke his bays and come near to rejoice at the midday pressing.

5.40.5 When Svarbhanu the Asura struck you, Surya, with darkness,The worlds were bewildered as one who knows no landmark.

5.40.6 When you, Indra, brought down Svarbhanu's magic spreading beneath heaven,Atri found the sun hidden by an unbroken veil of darkness through the fourth prayer.

5.40.7 “Do not let this foe swallow me through fear, Atri, while I am yours;You are Mitra of true gifts; let King Varuna and you aid me here.”

5.40.8 Joining the stone's prayer in worship, drawing near gods with devoted homage,Atri restored the sun's eye in heaven and swept away Svarbhanu's magic.

5.40.9 The sun whom Svarbhanu the Asura struck with darkness,The Atris found again; no others could accomplish it.

Hymn 5.41 — Seer: Atri Bhauma. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh, Atijagati (16–17), Viraj (20).

5.41.1 Who now, Mitra and Varuna, will guard us who seek Truth from heaven, great earth,Or Truth's own dwelling? Preserve our sacrifice and the prizes of our cattle.

5.41.2 Let Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman, Indra, the Ribhu-lords and Maruts take delight in us,And those who with homage offer a lovely hymn to gracious Rudra together.

5.41.3 I call upon you to come, Ashvins, for growth of chariot and wind's swift flight;Bring thought to heaven's mighty lord, and pressed drink for the worshiper.

5.41.4 Let heavenly Kanva's priest, Trita of heaven, wind and Agni together,Pushan and Bhaga, who feed all at the feast, hasten as finest horsemen to the contest.

5.41.7 I seek you with praiseworthy invocations and awakening songs, mighty ones of heaven;Let knowing Dawn and Night together bring sacrifice to the mortal.

5.41.8 With homage I sing the nurturing men, the house-lord and Tvashtri, seeking riches;I seek inspiration in accord with forest trees and healing plants.

5.41.9 Let the mountains stand by us in our urgency, swift white Vasus like heroes;Let the worshipful one of the waters increase our human fame through help.

5.41.10 I have praised the earth-born bull and the child of waters, Trita, in a fine song;Agni sings with ardent voices, flame-haired, consuming the woods.

5.41.11 How shall we address the great Rudra, and when Bhaga who knows wealth?May waters, plants and heaven guard us, with forests and wooded mountains.

5.41.12 Let the far-ranging lord of nourishment hear our songs, vigorous across the skies;Let the waters hear, shining as cities about the ladles of the swelling mountain.

5.41.13 I proclaim these great and wondrous ones who bring precious gifts;Even beautiful birds descend amid storms upon the mortal threatened by deadly force.

5.41.14 I speak to your heavenly and earthly births and to the waters, all in blessed offering;Let heavens grow and songs of shining crest; let the gathered floods rise high.

5.41.15 At every step old age is laid upon me; let the strong protectress with her guardians,The great mother Rasa, accompany us, with generous patrons of just hands and honest gifts.

5.41.16 How can we serve the generous Maruts with homage and praise, turning to the Maruts, famed ones, with praise?Let Ahi Budhnya not bring us harm; may our triumph over rivals be ours.

5.41.17 Thus a mortal seeks you, gods, for a family rich in cattle, yes, gods, a mortal seeks you;Grant my body gracious sustenance here; may even old age be swallowed by destruction.

5.41.18 May we attain your gracious thought that feeds us and brings sustenance, Vasus, through the cow's bounty;Let the kindly, generous goddess come running toward us for good fortune.

5.41.19 Let Ila, mother of the herd, praise us with the rivers, as Urvashi does;Or let Urvashi praise us with broad heaven, covering the striving mortal.

5.41.20 May she attend our thriving and nourishment.

5.42.2 Let Aditi receive my song as a mother receives her beloved, kindly son;This dear prayer, made for the gods, is what gladdens me in Mitra and Varuna.

5.42.3 Raise the greatest poet of poets; anoint him with honey and ghee;May divine Savitar send us gracious and precious treasures set in place.

5.42.4 Guide us together with your mind and cattle, Indra, with patrons, lord of bays, and with welfare;Bring us together with the prayer dear to gods and with the gracious thought of worshipful gods.

5.42.6 We recount the deeds of him with Maruts, unconquered, victorious, ageless;No ancient ones or later ones attained your heroic power, generous one, nor has anyone new.

5.42.7 Praise first Brihaspati, bestower of treasures and winner of wealth;Most blessed toward the one who sings and praises, richly generous, he comes when called.

5.42.8 With your aid, Brihaspati, generous men remain unharmed and rich in sons,Those who give horses or cows or clothes; among the blessed such men have riches.

5.42.9 Scatter the wealth of those who enjoy our praises and give nothing;Drive the ordinance-breakers who thrive upon your impulse, haters of prayer, away from the sun.

5.42.10 Whoever brings evil to the gods' feast, Maruts, bind him in your wheel-less chariots;Whoever reviles the devoted worshiper's work shall sweat to fulfill vain desires.

5.42.11 Praise the one with fine arrows and a good bow, lord of every healing remedy;Worship mighty Rudra for well-being; serve the divine lord with reverence.

5.42.12 The goddesses of the house, fine-handed workers, wives of the bull, rivers shaped by Vibhvan,Sarasvati, Brihaddiva and Raka, shining and generous, may they grant a broad way.

5.42.14 May fair praise now reach the thundering, roaring lord of refreshment, singer;He stirs clouds and waters, soaking heaven and earth with lightning.

5.42.15 Let this hymn reach the Marut host, Rudra's young sons;My desire for riches calls for welfare; praise the dappled-horsed tireless ones.

5.42.16 Let this hymn reach earth, midair, trees and plants for our wealth;May each god answer me gladly; let mother earth not condemn us to ill will.

5.42.17 May we dwell in wide, unhindered space, gods.

5.43.3 Officiants who have prepared sweet drink, bring the lovely, shining draught to Vayu;Drink first of it, god, as our priest; we have offered you honey for joy.

5.43.4 Ten fingers, two hands, harness the stone, those skilled workers pressing soma;A skillful hand milks the sweet taste, and the bright stalk yields drink upon the hill.

5.43.8 Let my great, broad and peaceful song go as a messenger to summon the Ashvins;Come near together on your joy-bringing chariot, reach the treasure as the axle reaches the hub.

5.43.9 I have given my powerful word of homage to swift Pushan and Vayu,Who inspire thoughts with gifts and bestow prizes and wealth of themselves.

5.43.10 I summon all the Maruts by name and form, all-knowing one;Come to the singer's sacrifice and song of praise, all Maruts with all your aid.

5.43.11 From great heaven and mountain let worshipful Sarasvati come to our sacrifice;Gladly accepting our call, rich in ghee, let the goddess hear our yearning, helpful speech.

5.43.12 Seat great Brihaspati, the wise one with dark back, at our dwelling;Let us worship the golden, ruddy one, shining in his home at the seat.

5.43.13 Let the supporter come, gift of broad heaven, summoned with all his helpers,Clothed in plants, unhindered bull of threefold horns, giving strength.

5.43.14 At the highest station of the mother, shining mortals of praise have come;The oblation-bearers honor with homage the dear infant, cleansing him as if dressing him.

5.43.15 Pairs of undying thoughts attend you, Agni, the great one with great vigor;May each god answer me gladly; let mother earth not condemn us to ill will.

5.43.16 May we dwell in wide, unhindered space, gods.

5.43.17 With fresh, joyful help from the Ashvins, may we travel safely;Bring us wealth and heroes, and every immortal blessing.

5.44.1 As of old, as at the beginning, in every way, here seek the eldest seated on grass, finder of sunlight;The swift victorious one faces you, ready to be milked by song; you grow by following him.

5.44.2 For beauty, his shining forms in the heights glow through the quarters of the sky;You are a good guardian, wise one, beyond deception; your name stands far within Truth.

5.44.3 The swift horse attends the offering and secures the foundation; the priest of safe passage carries strength;Flowing forward over the grass, the bull is a child, young and ageless in the midst, stationed far abroad.

5.44.4 These well-yoked ones go ahead on their journey to bring the offering, descending toward that guardian who increases Truth;With well-guided, all-directing reins, Krivi takes the names along the slope.

5.44.5 Clasping the trees, the well-formed one grips the pressing and rises brightly in wombs of thought;You shine among straight-running streams; grow with your wives, living one, at the sacrifice.

5.44.6 As he is seen, so he is spoken of; they hold his form in a single shadow;Grant us broad, vast reach and great heroic, unfailing strength.

5.44.7 The youthful or mature one passes beyond rivals; the sage sun moves with an even mind;Watching over the heat and the whole household, may the self-reliant one win us shelter.

5.44.8 Greater than this moving beacon, the sage's voice journeys where your name abides;As he was placed, so labor discovers him; the one who carries himself will make all ready.

5.44.9 The foremost stood upon their ocean; the pressing in which they are bound does not fail;There the worker's heart does not shake, where pure binding thought is found.

5.44.10 Through the minds of Kshatra and Manas, of Evavad and worshipful Sadhri,We shall fill Avatsara with delightful songs and even discerning strength in winning the prize.

5.44.11 Their falcon is Aditi, the stirring ecstasy of all-honored and worshipful Mayin;They call upon each other to advance, knowing the horn near their place of shelter.

5.44.12 Sadaprina the worshiper struck down enemies; Bahuvrikta and renowned Tarya stand with you;He meets and shines toward both choices as he joins the band with fine guidance.

5.44.13 Sutambhara is true lord of the worshiper, drawing upward the udder of all thoughts;Bearing milk-rich cows, he found refuge and goes on reciting without sleeping.

5.44.14 Hymns yearn for whoever stays awake; chants approach whoever stays awake;To whoever stays awake this Soma says, “I am yours, dwelling close in friendship.”

5.44.15 Hymns yearn for Agni, who stays awake; chants approach Agni, who stays awake;To Agni, who stays awake, this Soma says, “I am yours, dwelling close in friendship.”

Hymn 5.45 — Seer: Sadaprina Atreya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.45.1 He found heaven, splitting the mountain with hymns; radiant cows went toward approaching Dawn;He opened the stalls from the enclosure and unlocked human doors, a god, from heaven's spring.

5.45.2 The sun has parted thoughtlessness as if it were a veil; the mother of cows, knowing, came from the broad place;Rivers surged through the dry plain; heaven stood firmly like a carefully placed pillar.

5.45.3 For this ancient birth of the mighty, the mountain's womb,The mountain split, heaven held firm, and the earth delighted in attendance.

5.45.4 With fine words dear to gods I call Indra and Agni to our aid;For poets of fine sacrifice worship the Maruts, honoring them with hymns.

5.45.5 Come, let us think rightly today and widen the path against misfortune;Let us lay hatred far away in secret and move straight toward the worshiper.

5.45.6 Friends, let us fashion the thought by which the mother opened the cattle pen,By which Manu won the many-colored one, by which the merchant opened the water's depths.

5.45.7 The rock thundered as the ninefold priests, working with their hands, sang for ten months;Sarama found the cows going by Truth; Angiras made all things true.

5.45.8 At the breaking of that great dawn, when the Angirases lowed with the cows,Sarama found the cows in their highest common dwelling, at their spring, along Truth's path.

5.45.9 Let the seven-horsed sun come to the field that spreads his long and spacious journey;The swift falcon flies toward the drink, and the young sage shines among the cows.

5.45.10 The sun climbed the bright flood when he yoked his broad-backed golden mares;The wise guided him like a boat on the water, while listening waters rose near.

5.45.11 I place among you the thought that finds sunlight in the waters, by which the ninefold priests crossed for ten months;Through this thought may gods guard us; through this thought may we cross beyond distress.

Hymn 5.46 — Seer: Pratikshatra Atreya. Deity: the All-Gods, divine wives (7–8). Meter: Jagati, Trishtubh (2, 8).

5.46.1 Like a knowing horse I have harnessed myself to the yoke, bearing it to carry us across;I seek no release, no return: the guide who knows the path will lead us straight ahead.

5.46.2 Agni, Indra, Varuna, Mitra, gods, let the Marut host advance with Vishnu;May both Ashvins, Rudra, the divine ladies, Pushan, Bhaga and Sarasvati be pleased.

5.46.3 I call Indra, Agni, Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, sunlight, earth, heaven, Maruts, mountains, waters;I call Vishnu, Pushan, Brihaspati, Bhaga, Shamsa and Savitar for help.

5.46.4 May Vishnu, the unerring wind, the giver of wealth and Soma bring us joy;May the Ribhus and Ashvins favor our wealth, and Tvashtri and Vibhvan approve.

5.46.5 Let the heavenly Marut host come here, worshipful, to sit upon the ritual grass;May Brihaspati, Pushan, Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman grant us sheltering protection.

5.46.6 May those well-praised mountains and brightly gleaming rivers protect us;Let Bhaga the distributor come with powerful help; may wide-reaching Aditi hear my call.

5.46.7 Let the willing wives of the gods protect us and help us in the contest for prizes;Those of the earth and those bound by the waters' ordinance, gracious goddesses, grant us shelter.

5.46.8 Let the divine wives accept: Indrani, Agnayi, Ashvini and Rat;Let heaven and earth and Varunani hear; let the goddesses attend the women's sacred season.

Hymn 5.47 — Seer: Pratiratha Atreya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.47.1 She comes driving from heaven and speaking, the great mother awakening her daughter;The thoughtful maiden gives welcome, calling at the ancestral home.

5.47.2 The swift ones pursuing their work stand at the navel of immortality;Endless, broad roads circle heaven and earth on all sides.

5.47.3 The sea-bull, ruddy great bird, entered the ancient dwelling of his father;At the center of heaven, a dappled stone traveled beyond both ends of the heavens.

5.47.4 Four bear him for safety, ten carry the embryo forward on its course;His highest, threefold cows circle the boundaries of heaven at once.

5.47.5 This form is a mystery, people: flowing rivers stand still as waters;Two others bear him, born here and there of a single mother, twin kinsmen.

5.47.6 Mothers spread work for him, weaving garments for the son;The bulls approach the bride along heaven's path, rejoicing in her touch.

5.47.7 Let this be so, Mitra, Varuna and Agni; may this blessing grant us peace and welfare;May we find a firm ford and a place to stand; homage to heaven, the great dwelling.

Hymn 5.48 — Seer: Pratibhanu Atreya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Jagati.

5.48.1 When shall we contemplate the beloved dwelling of the mighty one, whose rule and renown are his own?The enchanter spreads clouds across the untamed sky, opening the waters.

5.48.2 They stretch out a path bearing heroes, a common enclosure through all the heavens;Waters flowing west recede; a god-seeking man crosses with those that flow east.

5.48.3 Day by day with pressing stones he drives his greatest mace into the magician;His hundred companions move through their own home, turning the days again and again.

5.48.4 I saw his flowing current like an axe head confronting his form for nourishment;With it he places treasure in the clan called to battle, as food in a home.

5.48.5 Four-faced he adorns himself with his tongue; Varuna in beauty resists the enemy;We do not know his whole human nature, from whom Bhaga and Savitar give precious gifts.

Hymn 5.49 — Seer: Pratiprabha Atreya, Trinapani (5). Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.49.1 Today I seek divine Savitar and Bhaga who distributes life's treasures;Day after day I turn to you, abundant Ashvins, seeking your friendship.

5.49.2 Knowing the mighty one's journey, honor divine Savitar with fine hymns;The wise one should approach with homage the eldest distributor of life's treasures.

5.49.3 Pushan, Bhaga and Aditi generously distribute precious things and dwell among bright cows;Indra, Vishnu, Varuna, Mitra and Agni work wonders, bringing blessed days to birth.

5.49.4 Let invincible Savitar bring us that protection, and the nurturing rivers follow;When I, priest of the rite, speak, may we be masters of prize-bearing wealth.

5.49.5 To the Vasus, Mitra and Varuna at home, those fine-speaking ones who bow in homage:Let disaster pass; make wider room, and may we rejoice under the help of heaven and earth.

Hymn 5.50 — Seer: Svasti Atreya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Anushtubh, Pankti (5).

5.50.1 Let every mortal choose friendship with the divine guide;Everyone seeks wealth and chooses glory to thrive.

5.50.2 Divine guide, may we join these men who follow your command,With wealth and fullness for companionship.

5.50.3 From there bring us men, guests and wives;Let the ever-young one drive far away every enemy upon our road.

5.50.4 Where the appointed bearer rushes like a beast from its trough,Hero-minded and at home with men, an inspired winner of the flood.

5.50.5 This, divine guide and lord of the chariot, is your blessed wealth;Bless our riches and welfare; praised for food we honor you, praised as a god we honor you.

5.51.1 Come, Agni, with all your helpers and the godsTo drink the pressed soma and accept oblations.

5.51.2 Come to the rite, thinkers of Truth, faithful to its law;Drink through Agni's tongue.

5.51.3 Come, inspired one, with the ancient sages who journey at dawn,With the gods to drink soma.

5.51.4 This soma, pressed in the vessel, pours round the bowl,Beloved of Indra and Vayu.

5.51.5 Come to the feast, Vayu, glad to receive the oblation;Drink the pressed draught along with its nourishment.

5.51.6 Indra and Vayu, you deserve these pressed draughts;Enjoy them, stainless ones, with the nourishment.

5.51.7 Soma draughts pressed for Indra and Vayu, mixed with curds,Flow like rivers down the slope toward the feast.

5.51.8 With all the gods, with the Ashvins and Dawn in accord,Come, Agni, rejoice in the pressing as Atri did.

5.51.9 With Mitra and Varuna, with Soma and Vishnu in accord,Come, Agni, rejoice in the pressing as Atri did.

5.51.10 With the Adityas and Vasus, with Indra and Vayu in accord,Come, Agni, rejoice in the pressing as Atri did.

5.51.11 May the Ashvins and Bhaga measure out well-being for us; divine Aditi, unconquerable, grant well-being;May mighty Pushan set well-being among us, and heaven and earth grant well-being in wisdom.

5.51.12 We call Vayu for well-being, Soma and the world's lord for well-being;Brihaspati with all his host for well-being; may the Adityas bring us well-being.

5.51.13 All the gods today for our well-being, Agni Vaishvanara the Vasu for our well-being;May the divine Ribhus guard us for well-being; may Rudra protect us from distress for well-being.

5.51.14 Well-being through Mitra and Varuna and rich goddess of the path;Well-being through Indra and Agni; Aditi, grant us well-being.

5.51.15 May we walk the path of well-being as sun and moon do;May we join those who give again, who do no harm, who know us.

5.52.1 Boldly, Shyavashva, sing with hymns to the Maruts,Worshipful ones who rejoice in unfailing, self-sustaining renown.

5.52.2 For they are bold friends of firm strength;On their journeys the daring ones ever guard themselves.

5.52.3 These rushing, raining ones leap across the nights;Let us honor the Maruts' greatness in heaven and on earth.

5.52.4 To you Maruts we boldly offer hymn and sacrifice,Who through every human age guard mortals from harm.

5.52.5 For those worthy, generous men, whose strength is whole,Sing sacrifice to the worshipful Maruts of heaven.

5.52.6 With ornaments and weapons, lofty men, you released your spears;Lightning races after them, Maruts, like whips, and radiance springs from heaven itself.

5.52.7 You who grew strong upon earth or in wide midair,In the channel of rivers or the dwelling of great heaven.

5.52.8 Praise the Marut host, strong in Truth and skillful;Splendid men, they yoke their swift steeds of themselves.

5.52.9 On the Parushni they clothe themselves in wool, pure ones;With their chariot wheels they split the mountain by strength.

5.52.10 On highways, byways, inner paths and winding paths,By these great names the sacrifice spreads out its burdens.

5.52.11 Then the men lift their loads, then their teams lift their loads;Then the distant lands reveal their marvelous forms.

5.52.12 The singers of meter from Kubha stirred the spring and danced as poets;None was a thief to me; at the sight they were fierce and protective.

5.52.13 Those lofty, spear-bright sages of inspired skill,Honor that Marut host, singer, with delightful song.

5.52.14 With gifts seek the Marut host, singer, like a woman her friend;Bold ones from heaven, praised with thought, seek your nourishment.

5.52.15 Now contemplating their journey toward the gods,He accompanies generous patrons in their splendid ornaments.

5.52.16 The generous ones told me of your kinship, named the cow Prishni as your mother;And then the splendid men named vigorous Rudra as your father.

5.52.17 Seven strong ones gave me a hundred each, seven times;I heard the gift beside the Yamuna; I gather the cattle-rich bounty, gather the horse-rich gift.

5.53.1 Who knows their birth? Who was once present for the Maruts' blessingsWhen they yoked their steeds together?

5.53.2 Who heard of these standing on their chariots? How did they go?To what good giver did they rush, with rain and rivers together bringing nourishment?

5.53.3 Those who came told me amid joy and bright birds,“Look at these flawless young men and praise them.”

5.53.4 They shine with ornaments, axes, their own light, golden plates and armlets,With spears, on chariots, carrying bows.

5.53.5 I set my hope on your chariots, Maruts of swift gifts, for joy,As rain clouds course through the sky.

5.53.6 When you generous men shake heaven's reservoir for your giver,You let Parjanya loose; rains follow the bow across heaven and earth.

5.53.7 The rivers burst through the air with a roar like cows;Like released horses they flow along their course, as the dark ones turn free.

5.53.8 Come, Maruts, from heaven and midair and your home;Do not stay far away.

5.53.9 Let Rasa, Anitabha, Kubha, Krumu and Sindhu not delay you;Let the flood-bearing Sarayu not surround you; let your favor be with us.

5.53.10 Your fierce Marut host of chariots, the new band,Is followed by rains.

5.53.11 Host by host, troop by troop, band by band, let us follow youWith fair songs and inspired thoughts.

5.53.12 To what fine-born giver of oblations do the MarutsJourney on this course today?

5.53.13 The undying grain seed you carry for children and descendants,Grant us that which we request: lasting riches and good fortune.

5.53.14 May we cross beyond reproach in safety and leave sin and hostility behind;Raining waters bring peace and healing; may we dwell with the Maruts.

5.53.15 The mortal you protect, Maruts, is well served by gods,Rich in heroes among men; may we be among them.

5.53.16 Praise the generous ones; their cows low like cattle seeking grass;Call them as earlier friends with song; praise the loving ones.

Hymn 5.54 — Seer: Shyavashva Atreya. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Jagati, Trishtubh (14).

5.54.1 To the self-radiant Marut host that shakes mountains I send this word;Praise the singers of heaven's warm draught and summit sacrifice, rich in glory and great heroic power.

5.54.2 Mighty Maruts, water-bearing, strengthening life, horse-yoked and far-ranging,Join lightning; Trita calls; waters roar through the encircling channels.

5.54.3 Men of lightning force and stony weapons, shining like wind, Maruts who shake mountains,With clouds you bring peals of thunder again and again, with wild, fierce might.

5.54.4 Rudra's sons, you part night and day, the air and realms, shaking all;You urge the plains like ships through water and pass through hardships unharmed.

5.54.5 This is your great heroic power, Maruts: you stretched out a long way like the sun;With flames no hand can seize, you traveled without horses over the mountain.

5.54.6 When your host blazes, Maruts, you strip a tree like a woodcutter;Then, united, you lead our devoted thought like eyesight along an easy path.

5.54.7 The sage or king whom you guide, Maruts, is never defeated or slain,Never stumbles, trembles or suffers; his wealth and protections do not fail.

5.54.8 With harnessed teams winning communities like men, armed like Aryaman, Maruts,You fill the spring when your voices roar and wet the earth with honeyed drink.

5.54.9 Earth slopes before the advancing Maruts, and heaven slopes before them;The paths of midair slope, and mountains incline before the swift givers.

5.54.10 When you rejoice together, Maruts, radiant as sunlight, as the sun rises, men of heaven,Your horses do not weary as they run; in a moment you reach the end of the journey.

5.54.11 Spears on your shoulders, armlets on your feet, gold plates on your breasts, Maruts, ornaments on your chariots;Lightning shines like fire in your hands, and golden helmets spread over your heads.

5.54.12 You shake heaven's dome and its radiant fruit, Maruts, whose flames none can grasp;The glowing bands rush together as their voices ring out, broad and true to Truth.

5.54.13 With wealth of your gift, discerning Maruts, may we be strong in chariots and life;May our shining fortune never depart; grant us thousands, Maruts.

5.54.14 You, Maruts, guard wealth rich in desirable heroes, and the inspired sage of song;You carry the racing horse for Bharata's prize, and support the king whose command is heard.

5.54.15 I seek your treasure and instant help, with which we might shine among men like the sun;Accept this word of mine, Maruts, that by your strength we may cross a hundred winters.

5.55.3 Born together, beautifully formed, nourished together, the men grew greater still in splendor;Bright as the sun's rays, your chariots turn after you as you travel beautifully.

5.55.8 Whatever is ancient, Maruts, or new, whatever arises, Vasus, and whatever is sung,You are the guardians of it all; your chariots turn after you as you travel beautifully.

5.55.9 Show us mercy, Maruts, do not strike us down; spread abundant shelter before us;Come into the friendship of our praise; your chariots turn after you as you travel beautifully.

5.56.1 Agni, today I summon the Maruts' fiercest band, adorned with glittering ornaments,From even the shining realm of heaven, among the peoples.

5.56.2 As you ponder in your heart, so my desires have come;Those nearest to your summons have arrived: make them grow, terrible to behold.

5.56.3 Like rain-rich earth shaken from us, they come rejoicing;Maruts, your force is like a working bear, formidable as a fierce bull.

5.56.4 By sheer power they drive the stubborn as cattle are driven;Even the sunlit stone mountain they shake from its seat on their journeys.

5.56.5 Rise now among these nourished ones with your songs;I call the Maruts' peerless multitude as one calls the cows from their stall.

5.56.6 Yoke the ruddy horses to your chariot, yoke the red ones to your chariots;Yoke swift bay horses to the shafts to carry you, fleetest at the shafts to carry you.

5.56.7 The prize-winning ruddy steed, resounding loudly, is set here in plain sight;Let him not delay your journeys, Maruts; urge him forward in the chariots.

5.56.8 We summon the Marut chariot, longing for renown,On which Rodasi stands, bearing lovely ornaments among the Maruts.

5.56.9 I call your host, splendid on chariots and fierce, eager for praise,Among whom the well-born, blessed giver is exalted, accompanying the Maruts.

5.57.4 Wind-bright Maruts, clothed in rain, well-shaped as twins,With tawny and ruddy horses, pure, broad-chested and vast as heaven in greatness.

5.57.6 Your spears are upon your shoulders, Maruts, your arms hold vigor, might and power;Heroism rests upon your heads and weapons on your chariots; every splendor adorns your bodies.

5.57.7 Give us wealth of cows and horses and chariots, heroes and shining treasure, Maruts;Grant us renown, Rudra's sons; may I share your divine help.

5.58.6 When you journey with your spotted mares and sturdy-wheeled chariots, Maruts,The waters roar, the woods shake, and the bull of heaven bellows down to the cows.

5.59.5 Kin with reddish horses, like heroes you stride forth to battle;Like thriving young men you grow, dimming the sun's eye with your rains.

5.59.6 Neither eldest nor youngest nor middling, you flourish together in greatness;Well-born sons of Prishni, young men of heaven, come near us.

5.59.7 Like birds your flocks fly mightily from the summit of broad heaven to its ends;Your steeds on either side bring forth clouds from the mountain.

5.59.8 May heaven and Aditi prepare our feast; may the marvelous Dawns unite;Maruts of Rudra, praised by the sage, you have shaken the heavenly reservoir.

5.60.1 I honor self-reliant Agni with homage; may he discern our work offered here;I bear the Maruts a prize-seeking hymn like a train of chariots; may it reach them rightly.

5.60.2 When Rudra's famous Maruts mount their spotted mares and comfortable chariots,Even the fierce woods bow down in fear, earth shakes, and so do mountains.

5.60.3 Even the great, massive mountain quakes, and heaven's crest trembles at your sound;When you play with spears, Maruts, you rush together like waters.

5.60.4 Like noble bridegrooms, adorned with gold and decked by their own power,Most glorious on their mighty chariots, they make their bodies truly great.

5.60.5 These brothers, neither eldest nor youngest, grew together for good fortune;Rudra, their father, is young and skilled; Prishni is a rich-milking mother, giving the Maruts blessed days.

5.60.6 Wherever you dwell, Maruts, highest, middle or lowest in heaven, blessed ones,From there, Rudra's sons, see our offering as we worship this Agni.

5.60.7 When Agni and you Maruts, all-knowing, ride down from heaven's high summit,Set precious gifts before the soma-pressing worshiper, exulting, roaring and foe-destroying.

5.60.8 Agni, drink soma with the shining, hymn-bearing Maruts, rejoicing with the splendid host;With pure ones who fill the world and give life, Vaishvanara, join in the ancient beacon.

5.61.2 Where are your horses and reins? How did you arrive?The seat is on their backs like a yoke.

5.61.3 A goad is at their hindquarters; men have spread their thighsLike women who seek to bear children.

5.61.4 Go forth, heroes, young men whose wives are blessed;May you be as glowing as fire.

5.61.5 Shyavashva has won a hundred flocks of horses, cattle and sheepFrom that generous lady who helped the hero he praised.

5.61.6 Even you, woman Shashiyasi, are better than a manWho turns from gods and gives nothing.

5.61.7 She knows the weary, thirsty and desiring man,And sets her heart upon the gods.

5.61.8 “Surely a man is as good as any,” says that unpraised Pani;He is only equal to the foe's son.

5.61.9 And a joyful young woman came to me, turned toward dark Shyava's path;She brought red mares to Purumilha, the wise man of lasting fame.

5.61.10 And Purumilha Vaidashvi gave me a hundred cows,As Taranta gave through generosity.

5.61.11 They carry us on swift steeds, drinking intoxicating honey;Here they laid down glories.

5.61.12 By their beauty heaven and earth shine about their chariots,As a golden plate high in heaven.

5.61.13 This young Marut host has fierce chariots and no blame;They travel splendidly, unbeatable.

5.61.14 Who now knows where those born of Truth and spotlessRoaring Maruts rejoice?

5.61.15 You, inspired Maruts, are guides of mortals through insight,Hearing our cries for help upon your journeys.

5.61.16 Turn to us, worshipful ones who destroy foes, with desirable riches,Abundant and shining from every side.

5.61.17 Carry this song of mine, goddess Urmya, to Darbhya,Like a driver carrying songs in his chariot.

5.61.18 Tell me this at Rathaviti's soma-pressing:My desire has not departed.

5.61.19 There dwells generous Rathaviti amid cattle-rich lands,Sheltered among mountains.

Hymn 5.62 — Seer: Shrutavid Atreya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.62.1 By Truth your fixed Truth lies hidden where they unharness the sun's horses;Ten hundred stand together there: I saw the one highest form of the gods.

5.62.2 Such is your greatness, Mitra and Varuna: the standing waves are milked each day;You swell all the streams of dawn; a single wheel revolves in pursuit of you.

5.62.3 You upheld earth and heaven, royal Mitra and Varuna, by your powers;Grow the plants and swell the cows, send down the rain, swift givers.

5.62.4 Let your well-yoked, rein-guided steeds bring you toward us;The gleam of ghee follows you, and rivers flow near from ancient heaven.

5.62.5 Following renowned thought, they enlarge the vast one and guard her as sacrificial grass is guarded by prayer;Reverent and steadfast in skill, you, Mitra and Varuna, sit in the chariot with Ila.

5.62.6 Unbloodied of hand, guardians of good works, you save the one devoted to Ila, Varuna;Unangry kings, you both sustain a sovereignty of a thousand pillars.

5.62.7 Golden in its adornment, its pillar shines like the divine horse's goad;In the blessed tilvila field, may we partake of honey from its high seat.

5.62.8 At breaking dawn it takes a golden form, with iron pillars at sunrise;Climb your chariot, Varuna and Mitra, and behold Aditi and Diti from there.

5.62.9 With your broadest, seamless shelter, generous guardians of the world,Guard us, Mitra and Varuna, so we may win and remain alive.

5.63.2 Sovereigns, you rule this world, Mitra and Varuna, beholding the sun in the assembly;We ask your gift of rain and immortality; thunder travels through heaven and earth.

5.63.3 Fierce sovereign bulls, lords of heaven and earth, Mitra and Varuna who behold all people,You rise roaring with marvelous clouds and make heaven rain through divine magic.

5.63.4 Your magic, Mitra and Varuna, stands in heaven; the sun travels as its wondrous weapon of light;You cover him with a rain cloud in the sky, and Parjanya sends honeyed drops flowing.

5.63.5 The Maruts yoke a handsome, easy-running chariot like heroes in a cattle raid, Mitra and Varuna;Thunder moves through the marvelous skies; sovereigns, wet us with heaven's milk.

5.63.6 Parjanya speaks his wonderful, powerful, resounding word, Mitra and Varuna;The Maruts dress in clouds through wondrous power; rain from heaven unblemished and ruddy waters.

5.64.7 When the bright cow dawns, worshipful kings of gods,Run on your feet to the pressed soma as if drinking from your hands, bringing Archanana with you.

Hymn 5.65 — Seer: Ratahavya Atreya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Anushtubh, Pankti (6).

5.65.1 Let the wise and skillful one speak to us among gods,Varuna or Mitra, each welcoming our songs.

5.65.2 They are kings of highest splendor and farthest-reaching fame,True lords who increase Truth and keep Truth among all peoples.

5.65.3 Approaching you two for help, I speak of your ancient fellowship,That we may give prizes with fine horses and wise guidance.

5.65.4 Mitra makes a broad path for the household even through distress;Mitra's gracious thought is for the one who serves, the one who overcomes.

5.65.5 May we dwell beneath Mitra's far-reaching protection;Your protections are truly unhindered, Varuna, and unweakened.

5.65.6 You, Mitra, guide and bring this people together;Do not overlook our generous patrons or us your sages; protect us as our shepherds.

5.67.2 When you sit on your golden seat, Varuna and Mitra,Supporting peoples, guide us to happiness, destroyers of harm.

5.67.3 For Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman know all things;Their ordinances follow them like footprints and guard mortals from harm.

5.67.4 True, touching Truth, keeping Truth among all peoples,Fine leaders and generous givers, they make room even in distress.

5.69.2 Your nourishing cows, Varuna, your honeyed rivers, Mitra, yield their milk;three radiant bulls, bearers of seed, stand over the three realms of insight.

5.69.3 At dawn I call on divine Aditi, at midday and at the rising of the sun;Mitra and Varuna I implore for wealth, for wholeness, for the good of children and descendants.

5.73.1 Whether today you are far away, or nearby, Ashvins,or in many places, you who grant so much, or in midair—come.

5.73.2 Those two who have been present everywhere, bearing manifold marvels,I call to my aid, strong beyond restraint, foremost in strength.

5.73.3 When you shaped beauty for the body, you held the chariot's wheel;through successive human ages you fly in might across the realms.

5.73.4 Surely this was done by your grace, all the deeds for which you are praised;though born apart, unblemished ones, you come together as our kinsmen.

5.73.5 When Surya's daughter mounts your ever-hurrying chariot,the ruddy birds spread their wings around you and the sun's heat surrounds you.

5.73.6 Atri recognizes you here, O men, with a mind of goodwill,when with his mouth he serves you the faultless warm offering, Nasatyas.

5.73.7 Your mighty, towering, far-reaching sound is heard along your paths;by your wonders, Ashvins, Atri calls you back, O men.

5.73.8 The eager lover of sweetness seeks the swelling honey, O mighty ones;when you cross the sea, ripe nourishment is brought to you.

5.73.9 Truly, Ashvins, they call you bringers of joy;in your journey most invoked, on your journey most gracious.

5.74.2 Where are those two renowned ones now, divine Nasatyas, in heaven?Toward what people are you traveling? Beside which rivers are you?

5.74.3 To whom do you travel, whom visit, toward whom do you harness your chariot?Whose prayers delight you? We desire you for aid, rich in swift horses.

5.74.4 Even Paura, flooded with distress, you strengthen for the sake of Paura,when he is caught in danger, like a lion in a treacherous place.

5.74.5 You released old Chyavana from his covering as though it were a cloak;you made him young again, answering the bride's desire.

5.74.6 For here you have a singer; we long to behold your splendor.Hear me now and come with aid, rich in swift horses.

5.74.7 Who among the many mortals has sought you today?Which inspired sage, bearers of inspiration, which sacrifices, rich in swift horses?

5.74.8 Let your chariot, best driven of chariots, come here, Ashvins;its abundant song of longing reaches across the mortals to us.

5.74.9 May our song bring peace to you who love the honey;fly here, discerning ones, on birds' wings like falcons.

5.74.10 Ashvins, whenever you hear this call,may your rich arms embrace us, and your nourishment fill us full.

5.75.3 Come to us bearing treasures, Ashvins, both of you,mighty ones on golden paths, accepting our gift, rich in swift horses; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.75.4 Your well-praised voice has been placed in the chariot, O rich and mighty ones;your towering bird brings sustenance, fair in form; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.75.5 Know with your minds, charioteers swift to hear the summons;with your birds you descended to guileless Chyavana, Ashvins; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.75.6 Let your mind-yoked horses, sprinkled with drops, O men,carry you like birds to drink, along with your blessings, Ashvins; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.75.7 Come here, Ashvins; Nasatyas, do not stay away;pass even through the hostile lands on your circuit, unconquerable ones; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.75.8 In this sacrifice, invincible lords of beauty, you Ashvinsapproach the singer Avasya as he praises you; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.75.9 Ushas has appeared with shining cattle; Agni was kindled at the proper hour;your deathless chariot has been yoked, mighty, wondrous ones; honey-loving ones, hear my call.

5.76.3 Come also at morning when the cattle gather, at midday when the sun rises high;by day and night with your most gracious help: the draught is now poured out, Ashvins.

5.76.4 For here is your ancient place and dwelling; these are your houses, Ashvins, this your home;come to us from high heaven, from the mountain, from the waters, bearing food and vigor.

5.76.5 Through the Ashvins' fresh, joy-giving help may we attain good guidance;bring us wealth and heroes, immortals, and every good fortune.

Hymn 5.77 — Seer: Bhauma Atri. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.77.1 Worship first the morning travelers, before the ruddy vulture drinks;for the Ashvins establish the sacrifice at dawn, and the sages praise the first to share it.

5.77.2 Worship the Ashvins at dawn, urge them on; an offering to the gods is not welcome at evening;other worshipers compete with us for favor: each earliest sacrificer wins the most.

5.77.3 Golden-skinned, honey-colored, glistening with ghee, your chariot turns toward us bearing nourishment;swift as thought, Ashvins, rushing like wind, with it you pass beyond every evil.

5.77.4 Whoever most honors the Nasatyas and gives the richest share of foodwill nourish his children by his own efforts, and always overcome those who do not shine.

5.77.5 Through the Ashvins' fresh, joy-giving help may we attain good guidance;bring us wealth and heroes, immortals, and every good fortune.

5.78.1 Come here, Ashvins; Nasatyas, do not delay;fly here to the pressed soma like swans.

5.78.2 Ashvins, like deer, like two cattle to the barley,fly here to the pressed soma like swans.

5.78.3 Ashvins, rich in swift horses, accept the sacrifice for its fulfillment;fly here to the pressed soma like swans.

5.78.4 When Atri called to you from the pit as a pleading woman calls,you came, Ashvins, with fresh falcon speed and your most gracious help.

5.78.5 Open apart, O tree, like the womb of a woman in labor;hear my call, Ashvins, and free Saptavadhri.

5.78.6 For the frightened and pleading seer Saptavadhri,you Ashvins by your arts opened the tree and closed it again.

5.78.7 As the wind stirs a lotus pond on every side,so let your ten-month child stir and come out.

5.78.8 As wind, as forest, as sea moves,so move forth, ten-month child, together with the afterbirth.

5.78.9 The child who has lain ten months within the mother:let him emerge alive, unharmed, alive from a living woman.

5.79.9 Shine out, heaven's daughter; do not prolong your work:may the sun not scorch you with its ray as it does a thieving enemy, well-born, truthful of speech, rich in horses.

5.79.10 You are able to give this much to one who knows, or more,for you do not diminish as you dawn upon singers, radiant one, well-born, truthful of speech, rich in horses.

Hymn 5.80 — Seer: Satyashravas Atreya. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.80.1 The poets greet with their thoughts the goddess Ushas, bright of passage, vast in Truth,faithful to Truth, ruddy in appearance, shining forth and bringing the sunlight.

5.80.2 Beautiful to see, she wakes the people and opens easy roads as she goes before them;with her great chariot, vast and pervading all, Ushas brings light before the days.

5.80.3 Yoking her ruddy cattle, never tiring, she has made wealth enduring;clearing paths to prosperity, the goddess, praised by many, desired by all, shines out.

5.80.4 She spreads out, doubled in splendor, revealing her body before us;she follows the true path of Truth, as if knowing it, and never strays from the directions.

5.80.5 Bright, showing her beauty, she stands for us to see like a woman rising from her bath;driving hatred and darkness away, Ushas, daughter of heaven, comes with light.

5.80.6 Facing us, heaven's daughter reveals people like a gracious woman unveiling her beauty;uncovering treasures for the giver, the young woman once more makes light as before.

Hymn 5.81 — Seer: Shyavashva Atreya. Deity: Savitar. Meter: Jagati.

5.81.1 The inspired ones yoke their minds and yoke their thoughts to the great inspired sage;he alone knows the ways and has assigned the offerings: great is the praise of the god Savitar.

5.81.2 The poet assumes every form; he sends forth good for two-footed and four-footed beings;worthy Savitar has looked across the vault and shines after the departure of Ushas.

5.81.3 The other gods follow the god's journey in their strength and grandeur;he measured the earthly and airy spaces in his greatness: he is Savitar, the swift one.

5.81.4 You travel, Savitar, through the three bright realms and join with the sun's rays;you encompass night on either side, and by your ordinances become Mitra, O god.

5.81.5 You alone rule over the sending forth of life; on your journeys, god, you become Pushan;you shine throughout this whole world; Shyavashva's praise has reached you, Savitar.

Hymn 5.82 — Seer: Shyavashva Atreya. Deity: Savitar. Meter: Gayatri; verse 1: Anushtubh.

5.82.1 We choose the god Savitar's portion;we contemplate the highest, all-sustaining, swift gift of Bhaga.

5.82.2 For none diminishes the self-gloriousand cherished sovereignty of Savitar.

5.82.3 For Savitar as Bhaga sends treasures to the giver;we seek that splendid share.

5.82.4 Today, god Savitar, send us fortune rich in children;send evil dreams far away.

5.82.5 All evils, god Savitar, send far away;what is good, send that to us.

5.82.6 Free of offense, under Aditi, at the prompting of the god Savitar,may we receive all lovely things.

5.82.7 Today with songs we choose Savitar, god of all, lord of truth,whose prompting is true.

5.82.8 He who goes before both these days without a pause,the thoughtful god Savitar.

5.82.9 He who calls all these creatures to attention with his song,the god Savitar sends them forth.

Hymn 5.83 — Seer: Bhauma Atri. Deity: Parjanya. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 2–4: Jagati; verse 9: Anushtubh.

5.83.1 Speak to the mighty one in these songs; praise Parjanya, honor him with reverence;the roaring bull, quick to give, places seed, the embryo, in plants.

5.83.2 He strikes down trees and strikes down demons; the whole world quails before his mighty blow;even the innocent flee from the powerful one when Parjanya thunders and strikes the wicked.

5.83.3 Like a charioteer lashing his horses, he brings his rain-messengers into sight;from far away a lion's roar arises when Parjanya makes the sky rain-bearing.

5.83.4 The winds blow forth, lightning flies, plants shoot up, heaven swells with rain;food is born for every living thing when Parjanya quickens earth with seed.

5.83.5 By whose ordinance earth bows low, by whose ordinance the hoofed beasts leap,by whose ordinance the plants take on their many forms—Parjanya, grant us mighty shelter.

5.83.6 Maruts, send us rain from heaven; let the streams of your mighty horse flow forth;come here with your thunder, pouring water down, divine father of us all.

5.83.7 Roar out, thunder, plant the seed; fly round with your chariot filled with water;pull open the downward-hanging water skin, let high places and low places become level.

5.83.8 Lift up the great vessel and pour it out; let unbound streams run onward;soak heaven and earth with richness; let there be good drinking for the unharmed cows.

5.83.9 When you roar and thunder, Parjanya, and strike the wicked,everything on earth rejoices in answer.

5.83.10 You have sent the rain; now draw it back; you have made the desert passable;you have produced plants for food and found your people's prayer worthy of attention.

Hymn 5.84 — Seer: Bhauma Atri. Deity: Earth. Meter: Anushtubh.

5.84.1 Truly you bear the crushing weight of mountains, Earth;great one, by your greatness you make the sloping land thrive.

5.84.2 Songs with their bright verses answer you, far-ranging one;you send forth the rushing prize, like a neighing horse, O shining one.

5.84.3 With your strength you sustain even the trees firmly planted in the soil,when the lightning from your clouds sends showers from the sky.

Hymn 5.85 — Seer: Bhauma Atri. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

5.85.1 To the sovereign Varuna, renowned, sing a deep and lofty prayer dear to him;he stretched the earth beneath the sun, spreading it like a butcher's hide.

5.85.2 Varuna spread the air amid the forests, speed in horses, milk in cows,purpose in hearts, fire in waters, the sun in heaven and soma in the rock.

5.85.3 Varuna released the water vessel, opening downward through heaven, earth, and air;by it the king of all the world drenches the land as rain drenches barley.

5.85.4 He drenches earth and heaven when Varuna desires the milk of rain;the mountains clothe themselves in cloud, and vigorous heroes loosen their grip.

5.85.5 Now I proclaim the great wonder of famed divine Varuna:standing in the air as with a measuring rod, he measured the earth by the sun.

5.85.6 None has dared defy this great wonder of the wisest god:though pouring into the ocean, the rivers never fill that single basin with water.

5.85.7 Whatever wrong we have done, Varuna, against Aryaman or Mitra, a friend, a constant brother,a neighbor, a stranger, or one of our own household—release us from it.

5.85.8 Whatever wrong, whether we played like gamblers, whether we knew it or did not know,untie all these, O god, like loose knots; then let us be dear to you, Varuna.

Hymn 5.86 — Seer: Bhauma Atri. Deity: Indra and Agni. Meter: Anushtubh; verse 6: Viraj-purva.

5.86.1 The mortal whom you both help in contests, Indra and Agni,breaks even strong defenses, winning glory like Trita with his arrows.

5.86.2 That strength unconquerable in battle, famed in contests,which exceeds the five peoples—we call on it, Indra and Agni.

5.86.3 Beneath the might of those bountiful two their fierce lightning flashes;from their two hands it speeds against the fortress of cattle, O Vritra-slayers.

5.86.4 For the prize of chariots we call on you both, Indra and Agni,lords of swift bounty, wise ones who delight most in songs.

5.86.5 Growing greater with the days, the two invincible gods serve mortals;even the worthy one I place foremost, like a share of the gods for the horse.

5.86.6 So a potent oblation, purified like ghee with pressing stones, was offered to Indra and Agni;among generous singers uphold great fame and wealth, uphold sustenance among singing patrons.

Hymn 5.87 — Seer: Evayamarut Atreya. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Atijagati.

5.87.1 Let our thoughts go forth to mighty Vishnu, accompanied by the Maruts, O Evayamarut, born of the mountain;to the host worthy of sacrifice, bringing delight, mighty and gracious, whose ordinance shakes, whose strength is great.

5.87.2 Those born in greatness, who now of their own accord proclaim their knowledge, O Evayamarut:by their resolve your power, Maruts, cannot be challenged, and by their gifts and greatness they stand unshaken as mountains.

5.87.3 Those who are heard by song from high heaven, bright and beautiful, O Evayamarut;none in their gathering rules them: like fires, their own lightning flies forth from the rushing ones.

5.87.4 He took his great stride, stepping far from the common seat, O Evayamarut;when with his own power he joined the enduring men, he travels with his helpers, beyond all rivals, mighty in grandeur.

5.87.5 Like a sound your strong bull shakes the world, fierce in his course and strength, O Evayamarut;by him they prevail, shining with their own light, with steadfast golden reins, armed and full of force.

5.87.6 Your grandeur has no shore, O grown in strength; let your fierce power protect us, Evayamarut;for you stand plainly on the path: save us from blame, blazing like fires.

5.87.7 May those Rudra-born ones, gracious and brilliant as fires, rich in splendor, protect us, O Evayamarut;long and broad stretches the earthly dwelling where their astonishing hosts race in splendor.

5.87.8 Maruts, come to us without hatred; hear your singer's call, O Evayamarut;sharing the might of Vishnu, turn away hatred from us with your marvelous deeds, as charioteers turn their teams.

5.87.9 Come to our sacrifice, worthy of sacrifice; hear our unharmed call, O Evayamarut;like the oldest mountains in the sky, be mindful of this, you who are hard for an enemy to resist.

Hymn 6.1 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.1.1 For you, Agni, were the first to give thought to this prayer, wondrous priest;you, mighty one, made your power unconquerable for everyone striving with strength.

6.1.2 Then the priest sat down, most worthy of sacrifice, in Ila's place, desirable and nourishing;seeking the gods and mindful of great wealth, the people came first to you.

6.1.3 They came to you, waking for wealth, as one comes to a prince with many gifts:to radiant Agni, visible, immense, rich in splendor, shining every day.

6.1.4 Honoring the god's dwelling, seeking fame, they won unbroken glory;they took on sacred names, rejoicing in the blessed sight of you.

6.1.5 The dwellers on earth increase you, as do both the riches of the peoples;you are their savior across the waters, their chosen father and ever-present mother.

6.1.6 Agni, worthy of worship, dear among the peoples, the delightful priest sat down, most worthy of sacrifice;before you, blazing in the house, we would kneel in reverence.

6.1.7 For you, Agni, we seek with good thoughts the new gift of favor, yearning for kindness and for gods;you have led the peoples, blazing with heaven's great radiance.

6.1.8 The sage of peoples, lord of enduring tribes, bull of humankind who never rests,who goes before and grants food, the purifying Agni, king of treasures, worthy of sacrifice.

6.1.9 That mortal sacrifices and labors for Agni who has brought you kindling and oblations,who honors the offering with reverence; all good things come to him under your protection.

6.1.11 You have spread heaven and earth wide with light, winning glory, glorious conqueror;shine for us abundantly with mighty, enduring, and splendid prizes, Agni.

6.1.12 Like a manly giver, bring us abundant cattle for children and descendants;let ample nourishment ward off harm, and let good fame be ours.

6.2.1 You are lord of a household's fame, Agni, like Mitra;you, wide-seeing giver, foster glory like prosperity.

6.2.2 For the peoples praise you with sacrifices and songs;to you comes the unharmed steed, crossing the realms, seen by everyone.

6.2.3 Together the men kindle you, signal of sacrifice, from heaven,when human beings seeking favor offer at the rite.

6.2.4 That mortal who serves you, generous one, with inspired thought prospers;under heaven's great protection he passes beyond enmity and distress.

6.2.5 The mortal who brings you a sharpened offering with kindlingnurtures a branching household, Agni, with a hundred years of life.

6.2.6 Your fierce smoke rises, gleaming as it stretches through the sky;like the sun in splendor, purifying one, you shine with beauty.

6.2.7 For among the peoples you are worthy of praise, our beloved guest,a joy like a fortified town, sheltering like a son.

6.2.8 By your resolve you are anointed in the vessel, Agni, like a prize-winning horse;like one circling the earth, self-sustained, a child as swift as a racer.

6.2.9 You even fell those immovable things, Agni, like cattle falling upon pasture:the forests, your dwelling places, O ageless one, when your flames cut through them.

6.2.10 You serve the worshipers as priest in their homes, Agni;bring their peoples success, lord of clans, and accept the offering, Angiras.

6.2.11 Speak well to the gods for us, O god Agni, mighty as Mitra; win heaven and earth's favor;bring good dwelling and well-being to the people; may we cross hatred, distress, and evil—cross them with your help.

Hymn 6.3 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.3.2 He who sacrificed with offerings and labored with labor, who gave to Agni to gain his prize,that mortal will never be touched by loss of fame, by distress, or by arrogance.

6.3.3 Like the sun, your spotless form is visible, when your fearful bright flame moves;you roar like a neighing beast of burden by night, and find delight dwelling somewhere in the woods.

6.3.4 We have seen his vast sharp shape; his mouth consumes like a harnessed horse;he brandishes his tongue like an ax, melting wood like a smelter as he burns.

6.3.5 He whets his edge like an iron blade, advancing upon whatever he wishes to devour;he runs with brilliant banner through the night, swift as a bird alighting on trees.

6.3.6 He sings out toward dawn like a singer, radiating fire, great as Mitra;at night his ruddy light shines for men, and by day the immortal's ruddy light shines for men.

6.3.7 Like heaven's light, for his worshiper he roars fresh; the bright bull comes among the plants;like blazing heat his flame flies forward, and with his treasure he fills both goodly spouses, heaven and earth.

6.3.8 With kindred flames and songs he shines like lightning through his own powers;like the host of the Maruts, he flashes with the splendor of a Ribhu, fierce in his rush.

6.4.3 The heavens praise his wondrous power; bright as the sun, he wears light for a robe;the ageless purifier spreads, shattering even the ancient works of the devourer.

6.4.4 The son of strength is spoken of both near and far; from birth Agni made his course and food;so give us vigor, vigorous one, that we may dwell like kings, unaging and unharmed.

6.4.5 He licks and eats his chosen food; like wind he ranges freely through the nights;may we overcome those enemies you point out, like a horse escaping the snare set for it.

6.4.6 Like the sun, Agni, with shining beams you spread heaven and earth wide with light;brilliant, you fly through the night dispersing darkness with flame, like a winged bringer of desire.

6.4.7 We choose you, most delightful, with flaming praise; hear our great song, Agni;like Indra in strength, like Vayu in divine power, the foremost men fill you with gifts.

6.4.8 Agni, lead us on unharmed paths to well-being and wealth; bear us beyond distress;grant joy to generous singers: may we rejoice a hundred winters with strong sons.

Hymn 6.5 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.5.1 With my thoughts I call the youthful son of strength, youngest one whose words never deceive;the discerning god, welcomed by all, free of treachery, sends forth treasures desired by many.

6.5.2 Within you, many-faced priest, lie treasures for the sacrificers by night and day;in you, purifying one, all good fortunes have gathered like the worlds upon the earth.

6.5.3 From of old you dwell among these peoples, skilled charioteer of precious things;from there, all-knowing Jatavedas, you send treasures continually to the worshiper.

6.5.4 Whoever attacks us in secret, Agni, or openly seeks our ruin, mighty as Mitra,burn him with your ageless bulls, with your own fire, O fiercest flame.

6.5.5 Whoever gives to you with sacrifice, with fuel, with hymns and praises, son of strength,that mortal shines among mortals, immortal wise one, in wealth and glory and fame.

6.5.6 Do this swiftly, Agni, when urged: drive off rivals with your strength;when praised with words by day and night, accept your singer's thought and ringing song.

6.5.7 May we attain our heart's desire with your help, Agni; may we attain wealth rich in heroes;may we win the prize as we strive for it; may we attain your undying and unaging glory.

Hymn 6.6 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.6.1 With fresh sacrifice, seeking a way to the son of strength, one goes for helpto the luminous heavenly priest, who cuts through the forest and leaves a black trail.

6.6.2 He shines white, like thunder sounding from the bright realm, youngest amid undying roaring flames;Agni, the purifier, far-ranging, rushes through and consumes broad regions.

6.6.3 Your spotless flames driven by wind run everywhere, Agni, O bright one;powerful, heaven-born, ever new, they conquer forests and break them fiercely.

6.6.4 Your bright, pure, shining horses, unbound, scatter over the earth;then your wide-ranging blaze shines as it surges upon the mottled earth's ridge.

6.6.5 Then your tongue, fierce one's, leaps forth like a thunderbolt unleashed in cattle-battle;Agni's course is like a warrior's onslaught, terrible, impossible to turn, devouring forests.

6.6.6 With light you have spread the earthly spaces through the greatness of your bold assault;with your powers drive terrors away, overcome rivals, and crush the hostile.

6.6.7 Wonderful one, lord of radiant power, join to us who praise you a wealth most wonderful,bright and vast and rich in heroes, inspiring us to see marvels.

Hymn 6.7 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 6–7: Jagati.

6.7.1 The gods brought forth in their mouths as a vessel Agni Vaishvanara, born in Truth,head of heaven, messenger of earth, the seer and sovereign guest of humankind.

6.7.2 To him, navel of sacrifices and seat of riches, the great one, they offer together their praise;the gods brought forth Vaishvanara, charioteer of rites, the signal of sacrifice.

6.7.3 From you is born the sage who wins the prize, Agni; from you heroes conquer hostile forces;Vaishvanara, king, bestow upon us treasures worth longing for.

6.7.4 All the gods praise you at birth, immortal one, as they praise a child;through your powers they attained immortality, Vaishvanara, when you shone from your parents.

6.7.5 Great are your ordinances, Vaishvanara Agni, which no one has dared defy;as you were born in your parents' lap, you found the light among the courses of the days.

6.7.6 By Vaishvanara's sight and the immortal's signal the ridges of heaven were measured;upon his head rose all worlds, like seven branches spreading upward.

6.7.7 Wise Vaishvanara measured out the realms and the luminous regions of heaven;he spread around every world, an unerring shepherd and guardian of the deathless.

Hymn 6.8 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Jagati; verse 7: Trishtubh.

6.8.1 Now I proclaim the might of the ruddy, nourishing bull, Jatavedas, at the assembly;fresh, pure praise for Vaishvanara Agni flows sweetly, as soma flows.

6.8.2 Born in the highest sky, Agni, guardian of ordinances, guarded the ordinances;wise Vaishvanara measured the midair and touched heaven's vault with greatness.

6.8.3 Marvelous as Mitra, he braced heaven and earth apart and with light made darkness speak;he turned apart the two worlds like hides; Vaishvanara took all strength into his keeping.

6.8.4 The great ones grasped him in the lap of the waters; the peoples approached their king with hymns;Matarishvan brought Agni, the messenger of Vivasvat, Vaishvanara, from afar.

6.8.5 Age after age give fresh and glorious wealth to those who praise you in assembly, Agni;like a wheel, ageless king, cut down the malicious man as you fell a tree with fire.

6.8.6 Preserve among our benefactors, Agni, unbending rule and unfailing heroic power;with your help, Vaishvanara Agni, let us win prizes by the hundred and thousand.

Hymn 6.9 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 7: Prastara Pankti.

6.9.1 Black day and bright day revolve through two realms in their appointed order;Agni Vaishvanara, born like a king, drives darkness away with light.

6.9.2 I know neither the warp nor the woof, nor what they weave together at the contest;whose son is it who here will speak mysteries, surpassing his father below?

6.9.3 He knows the warp and knows the woof; he speaks these mysteries at the proper time;he who has understood the immortal's guardian walks below, seeing beyond through another.

6.9.4 He is the first priest; look upon him, this immortal light among mortals;he was born, set firmly in place, an immortal growing in his body.

6.9.5 A steadfast light was set down for sight, swift as mind, flying within;all the gods of one mind and one knowledge reach toward the one good purpose.

6.9.6 My ears fly outward and my eyes fly outward; the light set in my heart flies outward;my far-thinking mind wanders outward: what shall I say, what shall I now conceive?

6.9.7 All the gods bowed in fear to you, Agni, standing in darkness;may immortal Vaishvanara come to our aid, come to our aid.

6.10.3 The inspired man who gives praise to Agni grows great in fame among mortals;Agni of brilliant flame with manifold aid sets him in possession of the cattle-rich fold.

6.10.4 At birth he spread over the vast earth, his light visible from afar on a blackened path;then the purifier was seen through the dense night with his flame.

6.10.5 Set splendid wealth before our generous patrons, Agni, with your manifold aid and prizes;they exceed others in gifts and fame and outstrip the peoples with their good heroes.

6.10.6 Grant this sacrifice delight, Agni; the worshiper sits and offers you his oblation;among the Bharadvajas you receive pure praise; help us win the sought-after prize.

6.11.4 Shine forth, perfectly working and brilliant Agni; offer to wide heaven and earth;the five peoples anoint you as they anoint life itself, with reverence and gifts of offerings.

6.11.5 When I spread the ritual grass for Agni with reverence, my clear prayer lifts the ghee-filled ladle;I have come to my dwelling on earth, and the sacrifice rests there like an eye upon the sun.

6.11.6 Gift us your favor, many-faced priest, kindled among the gods and fires, Agni;longing for riches, son of strength, may we pass beyond danger as beyond a stony waste.

Hymn 6.12 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.12.2 In you, wondrous worker and royal sacrificer, may he worship, as heaven gives aid to all;three-seated, with leaping flame, you stretch out to sacrifice human gifts and offerings.

6.12.3 His sharpest messenger rules the woods, glowing on the road like a goad as he grows;undeluded, swift and watchful in himself, the immortal wanders undefeated among plants.

6.12.4 Agni Jatavedas is praised in our house with our songs, like a traveler driven onward;he conquers wood by skill, like a horse at dawn, and is cherished with offerings like a father.

6.12.5 Then people praise his radiance when he carves his way at will over the earth;suddenly released, running swift, like a thief across the desert, he rules.

6.13.3 The lord of truth, the inspired sage, strikes Vritra down with power and wrests the prize from Pani, Agni;it is the man you favor with wealth, wise one born of Truth, grandson of the waters.

6.13.4 That mortal who comes to your sharp altar with song and hymn and sacrifice, son of strength,possesses every desirable grain, O god Agni, and rules over treasures.

6.13.5 Give your people good fame and strong sons to flourish, Agni, son of strength;by your power you make abundant cattle a prey for the wolf-like enemy to waste away.

6.14.5 For Agni with knowledge saves mortals from condemnation;he is mighty, his wealth unconquered and undefeated in contests.

6.15.10 Let us serve that beautiful, fair-faced, well-moving one, we who know less than he;knowing all the ways, let him perform the sacrifice and speak our offering among immortals.

6.15.11 You protect and nourish him, Agni, who approaches the sage with a prayer, O hero;with strength and wealth you fill the one who speaks or sharpens the sacrifice.

6.15.12 Protect us from the hostile, Agni, and from reproach, mighty one;may the path and precious wealth in thousands come together for you at the smoky fire.

6.16.41 Bring forth the god, richest finder of treasure, for the gods' delight;let him sit in his own dwelling.

6.16.42 When Jatavedas is born, cherish the dear guest;let him be a welcome lord of the house.

6.16.43 Agni, yoke your horses, O god, those that run true;they are ready to carry the passion of your will.

6.16.44 Come to us and bring our gifts for the feast;bring the gods to drink the soma.

6.16.45 Rise, Agni of the Bharatas, in undying brilliance;shine out, ageless one, and blaze afar.

6.16.46 The mortal offering the feast of sacrifice to the god should praise Agni at the rite;with hands raised, he should honor the true-sacrificing priest of heaven and earth.

6.16.47 Agni, we bring you an offering fashioned with the heart and with song;let these be bulls and cows and young calves for you.

6.16.48 The gods kindle foremost Agni, greatest slayer of Vritra;by him the treasures are brought and the strong demons broken by force.

Hymn 6.17 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 15: Dvipada Trishtubh.

6.17.1 Drink soma, fierce Indra, as you broke open the great cattle-holding cave while praised;bold mace-bearing one, you struck Vritra and all the hostile powers with your might.

6.17.2 Drink it, bold conqueror, strong-lipped bull of inspirations;breaker of cattle pens, bearer of the mace, master of bay horses—Indra, pierce the glittering prizes.

6.17.3 Drink as you did long ago; let it delight you; hear our prayer and grow through songs;make the sun appear, swell nourishment, strike your foes and break through to the cattle, Indra.

6.17.4 These draughts, when drunk, have made you grow luminous and great, Indra, self-empowered one;the intoxicating joys exalt you, vast, unimpeded, mighty, all-pervading conqueror.

6.17.5 Delighting in them, you revealed sun and Ushas, shattering firm barriers;you drove the great unmoving mountain away from its seat, Indra, releasing the cattle within.

6.17.6 By your design and wonders, by your might you laid the ripe thing among the raw;you opened the doors for the bright cattle, broke what was solid, and released the cows from their enclosure, Angiras-like.

6.17.7 Your great marvel spread the broad earth; lofty Indra, you propped the wide heaven high;you supported both worlds, daughters of the god, the ancient vast mothers of Truth.

6.17.8 Then all the gods placed you first, Indra, alone and mighty, for the burden of battle;when the godless attacked the gods, they chose Indra to win the sunlight.

6.17.9 Even heaven recoiled before your mace and trembled at your anger;when Indra struck the swelling serpent, the long-lived one lay fallen for all time.

6.17.10 Then Tvashtar fashioned for you, fierce one, your great mace with a thousand points, a hundred edges;with that weapon, full of resolve, you crushed the roaring serpent, strong one.

6.17.11 The Maruts joined to strengthen you; a hundred buffaloes they cooked for you, Indra;Pushan and Vishnu hastened the three streams of soma to him, the exhilarating draught for Vritra's slayer.

6.17.12 You released the vast flood of rivers hemmed in, the waters' imprisoned surge;you cleared their downhill path, Indra, and sent their flowing waters toward the sea.

6.17.13 So, Indra who has done all these things, vast and fierce, unfailing giver of strength,may our fresh prayer call you to help, well-armed and rich in heroes, armed with the fine mace.

6.17.14 Give us seers to gain prize and fame and nourishment and radiant wealth, Indra;give Bharadvaja patrons and strong men; be with us in heaven and on the far shore, Indra.

6.17.15 With this may we win the god-given prize; may we rejoice a hundred winters with strong sons.

Hymn 6.18 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.18.1 Praise him whose conquering force prevails, Indra the much-invoked, who wins unhurt;with these songs strengthen the fierce and unconquered bull of humankind.

6.18.2 He is a warrior, champion, breaker in battle, mighty and roaring with the pressed soma;raising great dust, shaking human races, he alone stands powerful over the tribes.

6.18.3 Alone you subdued the godless Dasyus, winning the peoples for the Arya;is that deed of might yours, Indra, or not? Speak out in the proper season.

6.18.4 Your strength, I think, was always the strongest, you of manifold births, swift beyond the swift;your fierceness surpasses the fierce, your greatness the great, your power over the helpless the powerful.

6.18.5 Let the friendship we had with you long ago be ours, as with the Angirases who spoke against Vala;you broke the unbreakable, drove out that wondrous adversary, and opened every door of his stronghold.

6.18.6 For this fierce one is worthy of invocation through inspired prayers, wielding dominion in the great defeat of Vritra;in winning children and descendants, this bearer of the mace proved worthy to be called in battles.

6.18.7 By his immortal name he outran the mortal generations;in splendor and strength and wealth and heroic power he is foremost among men together.

6.18.8 Unbewildered and unmatched, he cut down Chumuri and Dhuni, men famed for their designs;Indra struck Pipru, Shambara, and Shushna, and cast their strongholds down to ruin.

6.18.9 Mount your chariot, Indra, with its glorious shaft and axle, to kill Vritra;take the mace in your right hand, many-giving one, and break through hostile arts rejoicing.

6.18.10 Like fire burning a dry forest, Indra, your weapon burns the demon, terrible as a thunderbolt;lofty and deep, it shatters evil paths and defeats distress and deceit.

6.18.11 Come to us by a thousand roads with riches, Indra, greatly radiant with abundant prizes;come, son of strength, whom no godless man rules, much-invoked guardian.

6.18.12 The glory of the mighty ancient one roars from heaven across the earth;there is no foe or equal to him, no stand against this mighty one of manifold arts.

6.18.13 Let what you did then be done for us today, when you led Kutsa, Ayu, and Atithigva;you laid low thousands across the earth and boldly led Turvayana upward.

6.18.14 All the gods rejoiced with you afterward, O serpent-slayer, wisest of wise gods;when you made room for the beleaguered people and heaven, honoring the human body.

6.18.15 Heaven and earth and the deathless gods follow your might, Indra;make what is yet undone, O maker, and bring forth fresh praise for yourself through sacrifice.

Hymn 6.19 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.19.1 Great Indra fills the peoples as men do, standing doubly high, unbounded in power;he has grown toward us for heroic work, broad and vast, made well by those who act.

6.19.2 Thought herself appointed Indra for winning, the vast, exalted, ageless youth;he swelled with indomitable power and grew suddenly beyond measure.

6.19.3 Extend your broad hands and ample arms to us, gather glory for us;as a keeper turns a herd of cattle home, turn toward us in the struggle, Indra.

6.19.4 Now let us call that mighty Indra here with every power as we seek the prize,so that we, like the ancient singers, may be blameless, free of reproach, unharmed.

6.19.5 Firm in ordinance, giver of wealth, increased by soma, he has vast stores of lovely treasure;all paths of riches meet in him, as flowing rivers meet the sea.

6.19.6 Bring us your strongest strength, hero, your fiercest might that overcomes all;all glorious powers of humankind grant us, lord of bay horses, that we may rejoice.

6.19.7 Bring us that swelling rapture of yours, Indra, undeceived and conquering armies;with it may we prevail to win children and descendants, victorious by your help.

6.19.8 Bring us your mighty force, Indra, winning wealth, grown great and excellent in skill;with your help may we overcome foes in battle, both kin and stranger.

6.19.9 Let your bull-like force come from behind, north, south, and east;let it come to us from every side; set light-filled glory within us, Indra.

6.19.10 With your most manly aid, Indra, may we gain precious gifts through our praise;for you rule both kinds of riches: give us a great, solid, ample treasure.

6.19.11 Let us call here for fresh aid mighty Indra, accompanied by the Maruts, ever-growing bull,heaven's ruler, inexhaustible, conqueror of all, fierce giver of strength.

6.19.12 Bring even a people who think themselves mighty under these men, O mace-bearer, among whom I stand;for we call on you in the winning of heroes on earth, for descendants and cows and waters.

6.19.13 Much-invoked, with your friendship may we always stand higher than every enemy;striking down both kinds of obstruction, hero, may we rejoice in great riches under your care.

Hymn 6.20 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 7: Viraj.

6.20.1 Indra, wealth as wide as heaven has stood over men through might in their battles;grant us thousands of fertile fields, son of strength, and power to conquer Vritra.

6.20.2 As heaven itself, divine power was set wholly in you by the gods, Indra;with Vishnu at your side, strong one, you killed the serpent Vritra who enclosed the waters.

6.20.3 Overcoming all, strongest of the strong, Indra has grown great through prayer;he became king of the honeyed soma when he came to break all the strongholds.

6.20.4 By hundreds the Panis fled from Indra to the ten-handed poet at the capture of light;with your weapons you dispelled Shushna's fruitless arts, withholding no food at all.

6.20.5 All life was freed from the great deceiver when Shushna fell under the mace's descent;Indra made broad passage for Kutsa with the charioteer in the winning of the sun.

6.20.6 Like a falcon you brought him the exhilarating soma, wrenching the head from Dasa Namuchi;you protected sleeping Nami, son of Sapya, filling him with wealth and food and well-being.

6.20.7 Did you not break the strongholds of Pipru, whose serpent-arts were firm, O mace-bearer?You gave the imperishable bounty of Sudaman to the generous Rijishvan.

6.20.8 Indra, favored by your own aid, roused Vetasu, Dashamaya, Dashoni, and Tutuji;you delivered Tugra, ever mighty, for Dyotana, as a mother sends her child forth.

6.20.9 Unopposed, he overcomes his rivals, bearing the Vritra-slaying mace in his hand;his bay horses stand like riders on a chariot seat, harnessed by words to carry lofty Indra.

6.20.10 Let us gain fresh aid from you, Indra, as the Purus honored you with sacrifices;for Purukutsa you broke the seven autumnal Dasa strongholds and offered protection.

6.20.11 You were the ancient one who made prosperity grow, Indra, opening the path for Kavi Ushanas;you drove away Navavastva and gave his own grandson to the great father.

6.20.12 You broke open the roaring, rushing streams, Indra, flowing like furrows;when you crossed over the sea, hero, you carried Turvasha and Yadu safely across.

6.20.13 All that is yours, Indra, in battle: sleeping Dhuni and Chumuri whom you put to rest;Dabhiti, offering pressed soma and kindling and songs, shone for you.

Hymn 6.21 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra; verses 9, 11: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.21.1 These offerings call to you, hero, the oblations of the singer most rich in works;new inspired thought, fit for the chariot, seeks undying glory, wealth, and splendor with words.

6.21.2 I praise that Indra whom I know, borne on songs, grown by sacrifice with songs;his manifold greatness has passed beyond heaven and earth in majesty.

6.21.3 He stretched light through the unknowing dark and with the sun brought knowledge;when do mortals worshiping you, immortal, fail to reach your realm, self-empowered one?

6.21.4 Who is this Indra who did those deeds? Among which people, among which tribes does he move?What sacrifice pleases your heart, what song, Indra, and which priest?

6.21.5 From ancient days your friends have been many-doing, faithful in their reverence;know those of the middle time and the new, and even the youngest, much-invoked one.

6.21.6 Asking of those who came after, the ancients followed reports of your distant deeds, Indra;we sing to you, hero borne by prayer, in the measure of what we know of your greatness.

6.21.7 Demonic power has spread against you: face it, you born great;with your ancient fellowship and your mace, bold one, thrust it away.

6.21.8 Hear this, Indra, champion, the singer's new prayer and thought;you have long been the friend of the fathers, easy to call at the rite.

6.21.9 Today make Varuna, Mitra, Indra, and the Maruts our helpers;call Pushan, Vishnu, Agni, Purandhi, Savitar, the plants, and the mountains.

6.21.10 The singers praise you with songs, mighty and worthy of sacrifice;hear the call of the caller as he calls: no other immortal is like you.

6.21.11 Come knowingly to my voice, son of strength, with all those worthy of sacrifice,whose tongue is Agni, who won Truth, who made Manu the chief in service.

6.21.12 Lead us on easy paths and make paths through difficulties, knowing the way;with your tireless, spacious, swift-bearing horses, Indra, bring us the prize.

Hymn 6.22 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.22.1 The one invoked by all the peoples, that Indra I honor with these songs;he reigns, bull strong in virility, true champion of manifold arts and strength.

6.22.2 Our forefathers, the Navagvas, and the seven inspired men seeking the prizereached the mighty, mountain-dwelling, unassailable conqueror, truthful in word, with their thoughts.

6.22.3 We ask Indra for wealth, for many heroes and men and abundant cattle;you who give unstintingly, ageless lord of light, bring it to us for joy, lord of bay horses.

6.22.4 Tell us this, if your singers long ago attained your favor, Indra:what share is yours, what vigor do you have, fierce much-invoked slayer of demons, rich in treasure?

6.22.5 The quivering, speaking song seeks that mace-bearing charioteer Indra;seeking a way to nourishment, it reaches the mighty seizer, the forceful giver, the towering one.

6.22.6 You grew by your arts alongside the mountain, swift as thought and self-empowered;even steadfast and fortified things you broke by your own bold might, O immense one.

6.22.7 Encircle with our fresh thought the ancient mightiest one, as they did long ago;let Indra, who knows no bounds and bears us well, convey us across all hard passages.

6.22.8 Set fire to earthly and heavenly spaces and the midair for the deceiving people;burn them from every side, bull, with your flame; scorch land and waters for those who hate prayer.

6.22.9 You have become king of the heavenly people and earth's living world, fierce to behold;take the mace in your right hand, Indra, undying one, and master all deceits.

6.22.10 Bring us abundant and undiminished well-being, Indra, to conquer enemies;with it, mace-bearer, make Dasa and Arya obstacles passable for the people.

6.22.11 Come with your teams, much-invoked maker, with those desired by all, worthy of sacrifice;no godless one nor god restrains them: come quickly with them toward us, stone-loving one.

Hymn 6.23 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.23.1 When soma is pressed, you mingle in it, Indra, in the recited hymn, the prayer and chant;or you travel, generous Indra, bearing your mace in your arms, with both bay horses yoked.

6.23.2 Or in the far sky at the pressing, Indra, you help in Vritra's killing and the winning of heroes;or you, fearless, brought fearful Daksha under your rule and quelled the proud Dasyus, Indra.

6.23.3 Let Indra drink the pressed soma, guiding the singer with fierce aid;let him make room for the hero who presses, and give treasure to the poet who praises him.

6.23.4 Let him come to the pressings with both bay horses, carrying the mace, drinking soma and giving cows;let him make a hero manly and rich in heroes, and hear the call of the singer who brings him praise.

6.23.5 We have offered Indra whatever he desires, the one who from of old worked for us;at the pressing we praise him in hymns, that prayer may strengthen him.

6.23.6 For you have made prayers to increase you; thus we reach you with our thoughts, Indra;at the soma pressing may we bring you the most gracious offerings and splendid rites.

6.23.7 Be mindful of us as we offer the sacrificial cake; drink the soma mixed with milk, Indra;sit upon this sacrificer's ritual grass and make a spacious place for the one devoted to you.

6.23.8 Rejoice to your heart's content, fierce one; let these sacrifices come to you;let our many calls reach the much-invoked one; let this prayer turn to you for help, Indra.

6.23.9 Friends, fill Indra, the generous one, together with your pressed soma;perhaps he will join us in battle: Indra does not refuse the soma presser's plea for help.

6.23.10 So Indra has been praised at the soma pressing among the Bharadvajas, the giver who dwells with them;may Indra, giver of treasure dear to all, be present for singer and patron alike.

Hymn 6.24 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.24.1 Bull-strong is the rapture in Indra, sung in chant and hymn when soma flows to him who loves the pressing;the generous king of songs, glorious in heaven, is praised by men, his help unfailing.

6.24.2 The conquering, manly hero, all-discerning, hears the singer's call and shelters far and wide;the poet of men praises the giver; the steed praised in the assembly bestows the prize.

6.24.3 Hero, as an axle reaches past both wheels, your greatness reaches beyond both worlds;much-invoked Indra, your many forms of aid have risen like branches of a tree.

6.24.4 Your strengths, mighty one of manifold power, move as freely as streams of cows;like the lines of calves, Indra, your gifts bind us though they are themselves unbound, good giver.

6.24.5 One thing is today, another tomorrow: Indra brings forth the real and the unreal in turn;Mitra, Varuna, and Pushan here surround us with the favor of the one who rules.

6.24.6 From you the waters poured as from a mountain's crest, Indra, brought by hymns and sacrifices;these splendid praises race toward you, bearer of song, like horses to the finish.

6.24.7 Neither autumns nor months age him, nor do the heavens wear Indra down;even as he grows old, his body grows greater when praised by hymns and chants.

6.24.8 He bows neither to the formidable nor the steadfast nor the raging one sent by Dasyus;even lofty mountains become easy roads for Indra, and the deep becomes shallow for him.

6.24.9 With deep and spacious inspiration guide us, soma-drinker, toward prizes;stand upright for us, protecting with your aid at night, at dawn, and at dusk.

6.24.10 Stand close to this man for help; protect him, Indra, from harm here;guard him from danger at home and in the wilderness; may we rejoice a hundred winters with strong sons.

Hymn 6.25 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.25.1 Whatever aid of yours lies nearest, highest, or midway, Indra, mighty one,with it help us kill Vritra, and with these prizes make us great, fierce one.

6.25.2 With them unhurt, confound the battling rivals and unnerve the enemy's wrath, Indra;with them help the Arya cross beyond all hostile Dasa peoples attacking from every side.

6.25.3 Indra, kin and strangers alike, foes from near at hand, have joined against us;scatter their forces, strike down their might, and turn them away.

6.25.4 When warrior meets warrior in the clash of bodies, when their strength glows in combat;when they shout for children or cattle or descendants or waters or fertile fields—

6.25.5 no warrior, no swift man, no bold one, nor any fighter believing in his power can withstand you, Indra;none of these is your match: you surpass all living beings.

6.25.6 He rules the prowess of both sides when rival makers call to him in battle,whether at great Vritra or in a populous home, when the two armies spread out for battle.

6.25.7 When the peoples quake, be their savior, Indra, their defender;let our own noble leaders, best among men, set you in front of us.

6.25.8 All is yielded to your great power, Indra, wholly to you in Vritra's killing;to your dominion and strength, honored Indra, and to your heroic victory among the gods.

6.25.9 So in battles, Indra, subdue for us the godless rivals who come together and fight;let us Bharadvajas know your aid by day as we praise you, Indra, even now.

Hymn 6.26 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.26.1 Hear us, Indra, as we call on you, eager to win the great prize;when peoples gather in the contest of heroes, grant your fierce help on the day of decision.

6.26.2 The steed and his rider call on you to win the great desired prize;in fights against obstacles, Indra, they look to you as conquering lord of truth, and the fist-fighter looks to you in battle for cows.

6.26.3 You spurred the poet to win the light; for generous Kutsa you struck down Shushna;you severed the head of the defenseless one, performing a deed of praise for Atithigva.

6.26.4 You brought the chariot forward and helped the mighty warrior, bull Dashadyu, as he fought;you fought Tugra for Vetasu, and saved Tujii, who sang your praise, Indra.

6.26.5 You performed that mighty deed worthy of song, Indra: you split thousands, hero, with your power;you struck Dasa Shambara down from the mountain and guarded Divodasa with wondrous help.

6.26.6 Delighting in soma offered with faith, Indra, you put Chumuri to sleep for Dabhiti;you gave riches to Pithinasa, and in your might struck down sixty thousand together.

6.26.7 May I too attain with our patrons your surpassing favor and strength, Indra;through you the strong heroes win praise, strongest one, shielded by threefold Nahusha shelter.

6.26.8 In this summons to glory, Indra, may we be your most cherished friends in greatness;may early-giving kingly splendor lead in breaking obstacles and winning wealth.

Hymn 6.27 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra; verse 8: the gift of Abhyavartin Chayamana. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.27.1 What did Indra do in his exhilaration, in drinking, in his friendship?What did those who fought or sat with him know of old, and what do the new know now?

6.27.2 Indra did act in his exhilaration, in his drinking, and in his friendship;those who fought or sat with him knew it of old, and the new know it now.

6.27.3 We cannot grasp your whole greatness, generous one, nor the full measure of your generosity;nor do we know the extent of your fresh bounty; no one has seen the end of your power, Indra.

6.27.4 Here your power became known, when you killed the last of Varashikha's sons;at the sound and the force of your descending mace, even the farthest of them broke apart, Indra.

6.27.5 Indra killed Varashikha's descendants, granting help to Abhyavartin Chayamana;when he struck the Vrichivants at Hariyupiya, one half perished and the other broke in terror.

6.27.6 Three hundred armored Vrichivants together, much-invoked Indra, sought renown at Yavyavati;rushing toward the arrow, they smashed their vessels and met their end.

6.27.7 His two red cows roam grazing sweet pasture, licking it up;he gave Turvasha over to Srinjaya, aiding Daivavata against the Vrichivants.

6.27.8 Abhyavartin Chayamana, generous sovereign, gives me two chariots bearing brides and twenty cows, Agni;may this gift of the Parthavas never be exhausted.

Hymn 6.28 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: the cows; verses 2, 8: Indra or the cows. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 2–4: Jagati; verse 8: Anushtubh.

6.28.1 The cows have come and brought good fortune; let them rest in the fold and give us joy;let them be many-formed and rich in young, milked through many dawns for Indra.

6.28.2 Indra gives to the sacrificer and one who offers freely: he gives and does not rob him of his own;again and again increasing his wealth, he sets the god-devoted one in an unbroken pasture.

6.28.3 They are never lost; a thief cannot cheat him of them, nor can an enemy's violence reach them;the cattle with which the lord of cows sacrifices and gives stay with him long.

6.28.4 The dust-raising war horse cannot reach them, nor do they fall beneath the butcher's blade;those cows wander the broad, safe expanses of the mortal sacrificer.

6.28.5 Cows are Bhaga; cows are Indra to me; cows are the first portion of soma;these cows, people, are Indra himself: with all my heart and mind I desire Indra.

6.28.6 You cows make even the lean grow fat and make even the unlovely beautiful;you fill our house with blessings, gracious-voiced ones, and your great strength is sung in gatherings.

6.28.7 May you be rich in calves, grazing fine grass and drinking pure water at good troughs;let no thief nor evildoer rule you, and let Rudra's weapon pass you by.

6.28.8 Let this quickening strength be poured into these cows,with the bull's seed and with your power, Indra.

Hymn 6.29 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.29.1 Men seek Indra for friendship, desiring the great one's favor and good counsel;for the mace-bearer gives greatly: worship this great and gracious one for aid.

6.29.2 Into his two hands they poured manly strength, as he stood in his golden chariot;the reins stretch to his strong arms, and vigorous horses are harnessed for the journey.

6.29.3 At your feet they poured service for splendor, bold mace-bearer, strong and generous;clad in a fragrant garment, beautiful to behold, you shine like sunlight, foremost of men.

6.29.4 That pressed soma is sweetest where the food is cooked and the parched grain waits;men who sing to Indra and fashion prayer recite their hymns, foremost in godly devotion.

6.29.5 No limit has been set to your power: in your greatness it stretches beyond both worlds;the generous one hastens to fill them, gathering his aid like a herd beside water.

6.29.6 So let Indra be lofty and easy to call, helping and unharmed, strong hero with golden cheeks;born peerless in power, he strikes many obstacles and lays the Dasyus low.

Hymn 6.30 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.30.1 Still he grows in heroic power, alone and unaging, dispensing treasures;Indra stretches beyond heaven and earth, while the two worlds are only half his measure.

6.30.2 I think vast is his divine rule: what he supports no one can diminish;day after day the sun appears for all to see, and the wise one has spread the dwellings far and wide.

6.30.3 Even today it is so: you cleared a course for the rivers' waters, Indra;mountains settled down like beasts upon their food, and by you the firm realms stand, wise one.

6.30.4 It is true: no other is like you, Indra; no god or mortal is greater;you killed the serpent coiled around the flood and freed the waters to run toward the sea.

6.30.5 Indra, you shattered the mountain's firm doors, setting its waters flowing in all directions;you became king of the living world and peoples, bringing forth sun, sky, and Ushas together.

Hymn 6.31 — Seer: Suhotra Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 4: Shakvari.

6.31.1 You became sole lord of all riches and placed the peoples in your hands, Indra;for children, waters, descendants, and sun, the diverse nations have spoken of your aid.

6.31.2 For fear of you, Indra, all earthly spaces shake, even those that never moved;heaven and earth, mountains and forests—every firm thing quakes at your advance.

6.31.3 Together with Kutsa you fought Shushna and barren Kuyava for the cattle, Indra;at the sun's setting you stole away the wheel and made his powers known tenfold.

6.31.4 You broke a hundred of Dasyu Shambara's strongholds, impossible to oppose;with your art, artful one, you granted treasures to Divodasa, presser of soma, and to Bharadvaja, singer of songs.

6.31.5 For the great and true contest mount your terrible chariot, mighty among men;come along the broad path with help, lover of the stone, and proclaim your fame to the peoples.

Hymn 6.32 — Seer: Suhotra Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.32.1 For this great and mighty hero, swift and vast, with many unprecedented deeds,for the immense mace-bearer, I fashion with my mouth the most gracious words, ancient one.

6.32.2 He brought the mothers into sunlight for the poets; praised, he broke the rock;longing for the bright cattle, with skilled singers, he released them from confinement.

6.32.3 With singing bearers he ever won the cows, with men who knew their place, of many deeds;he struck strongholds down with friends while befriending them, a poet among poets.

6.32.4 With your hidden treasures come to the singer, with great prizes and mighty strength;with hosts of heroes, bull of the peoples, lover of song, come to us for good fortune.

6.32.5 With his impetuous strength Indra drove the waters from the south with swift horses;thus released, unrestrained, they reached their unassailable destination day after day.

Hymn 6.33 — Seer: Shunohotra Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.33.1 Give us your strongest rapture, Indra, O bull, winning freely by your own favor;let the splendid horse win fine horses and prevail over obstacles and enemies in battle.

6.33.2 For peoples of many tongues call on you for help, Indra, in the winning of heroes;you drove the Panis away with sages; by your aid the horse wins the prize.

6.33.3 You struck down both kinds of enemies, Indra, Dasa obstacles and Arya ones, O hero;you cut them like forests with well-laid blades and break through in battle, foremost of men.

6.33.4 Be our friend and lifelong defender, Indra, with unfailing aid that makes us prosper;when we call for light in battle, hero, fighting with half our strength, protect us.

6.33.5 Be gracious to us now and in the days to come, Indra, and be near to us in need;praising you thus in your mighty shelter, may we win abundant cattle in heaven's far realm.

Hymn 6.34 — Seer: Shunohotra Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.34.1 Many songs have gathered in you, Indra, and thoughts spring outward from you, mighty one;then and now the sages' praises, hymns, and chants compete to celebrate Indra.

6.34.2 Much-invoked, much-sung, powerful, alone honored widely with sacrifices,Indra, harnessed like a chariot for mighty power, should be rejoiced in by us.

6.34.3 Neither thoughts nor praises can harm Indra; they reach him and make him grow;if a hundred singers praise him, if a thousand praise this lover of song, it pleases him.

6.34.4 For him I pour out soma as the sun pours out the months across heaven;as waters gather around a man in a desert, calls with sacrifice have made him grow.

6.34.5 For this great one, for Indra, we have uttered this hymn of praise with our thoughts;may Indra, lifelong protector who fosters growth, stand by us in the great fight against Vritra.

Hymn 6.35 — Seer: Nara Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.35.1 When will you make our prayers a chariot's home? When will you give the singer riches by the thousand?When will you clothe his praise in wealth, when make our thoughts rich in precious prizes?

6.35.2 When will you, Indra, help men subdue men and heroes defeat heroes in battle?When will you win threefold cattle in the cattle-fight? Set bright glory among us, Indra.

6.35.3 When, Indra, will you give the singer a prayer that fills all worlds, strongest one?When will you yoke our thoughts like horses, and come to the generous call of our prayers?

6.35.4 Set before your singer cattle in plenty and splendid horses, ample prizes and renown;swell the good-milking cow of nourishment, Indra, and let her shine among the Bharadvajas.

6.35.5 Now when you open the doors to the hostile force in another way, heroic powerful one, you are praised;let me not fail to gain the bright-milking cow; inspire the Angirases with prayer, inspired one.

Hymn 6.36 — Seer: Nara Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.36.1 Your exhilarations truly belong to all peoples, and truly yours are earthly riches;you became the divider of prizes when you bore divine sovereignty among the gods.

6.36.2 The peoples strive to follow his strength and equip themselves for heroic deeds;they choose resolve for the harnessed stallion, fierce in overcoming Vritra.

6.36.3 Shared forms of aid, heroic might, manliness, and horses accompany Indra;songs of powerful hymns enter him, vast as rivers enter the sea.

6.36.4 As we sing, send us wealth at will and plentiful shining treasures, Indra;you became unequaled lord of peoples, sole king of all the world.

6.36.5 Hear the man who loves your worship, famed one, rich in the earth's treasures like heaven;by your power favor us, and make us known through every generation.

Hymn 6.37 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.37.1 Let your yoked bay horses bring your all-desired chariot here, fierce Indra;for even the singer calls you, full of light: may we succeed at your feast today.

6.37.2 The bay horses have come forward to work at the vessel, purified and traveling true;may ancient Indra, heaven-bright king of soma's ecstasy, drink from this for us.

6.37.3 May the splendid chariot horses rush to mighty Indra, straightening toward renown;may they bear him here, while even the deathless wind is spent.

6.37.4 Indra, fiercest among generous ones, sends forth his best gift;with it, mace-bearer, you cross distress, and with your bounty you reward the bold patrons.

6.37.5 Indra is giver of the enduring prize; let Indra grow by songs, grown great in fame;let Indra, strongest slayer of Vritra, be our champion, as the eager patron brings gifts to him.

Hymn 6.38 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.38.1 Let our most splendid summons rise to Indra, carrying great, radiant glory;our inspired divine thought wins this generous one's gift along his path.

6.38.2 Even from far away his ears attend the call; Indra's thundering voice sounds forth;let this invocation turn him toward us, this song we utter toward the lord of joy.

6.38.3 With deepest thought I shall honor ancient, ageless Indra with our songs;prayers and voices unite in him, and great praise makes Indra greater.

6.38.4 Let sacrifice and soma make Indra grow, let prayer and songs and hymns and thoughts;let Ushas in her course and night make him grow, and months and autumns and heavens make Indra grow.

6.38.5 So, sage, for aid in the conquest of Vritra let us call the great fierce one,born for unequaled strength and growing in wealth and fame.

Hymn 6.39 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.39.1 Of this joyful, inspired, divine bearer, this sage's thought and sweet word,god, release for us his companion gift: join cattle-rich nourishment to your singer.

6.39.2 Longing for the cows, this Indra circled the rock, yoking truthful thought to Truth;he broke the unbroken summit of Vala and with his words defeated the Panis.

6.39.3 This Indra, the brilliant drop, lit the dark nights, evenings and mornings, and the seasons;he set the signal for the days, and brought forth Ushas, pure at birth.

6.39.4 He illumined what was unlit with light and brought ancient ones to birth in Truth;with horses yoked to Truth he travels, finding the sunlight, filling peoples from their heart.

6.39.5 Now, ancient king, as we praise you swell plentiful food for your singer, bringing treasure;grant us waters, plants, forests, cattle, horses, and people that we may shine.

Hymn 6.40 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.40.1 Drink, Indra: soma is pressed to delight you; let your two bay companions loose to rest;sing forth seated among the company; then give vitality to the worshiper at the sacrifice.

6.40.2 Drink the soma you drank when you were born, Indra, to rouse your spirit and resolve, immense one;cows, men, waters, and the stone have brought that drop together for you to drink.

6.40.3 With Agni kindled and soma pressed, Indra, let your best-bearing bay horses bring you;I call to you with a mind intent on you: come for our great prosperity, Indra.

6.40.4 Come to drink soma, Indra, with the great mind with which you have always traveled willingly;hear these our prayers, and let the sacrifice give your body vigor.

6.40.5 Whether you dwell in far heaven, apart, or in your own home,come from there to help our sacrifice with your teams; lover of song, drink in company with the Maruts.

Hymn 6.41 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.41.1 Come without anger to the sacrifice; pressed soma drops flow for you;like cows to their own home, come, mace-bearer; Indra, come first of all those worthy of sacrifice.

6.41.2 With your best, most finely made throat, with which you always drink the wave of honey,drink; the priest has risen before you; let your mace turn toward the cattle, Indra.

6.41.3 This bull of a drop in many forms, soma, is prepared for mighty Indra;drink it, fierce lord of bay horses: from of old it is yours to command, and is your food.

6.41.4 Pressed soma is better than unpressed for you, Indra; it is best for the knowing warrior;come to this sacrifice to cross the foe, and fill all your powers with it.

6.41.5 We call to you, Indra, come here; the soma is ready for your body;delight in the pressings, hundred-powered one, and protect us in battles and among the peoples.

Hymn 6.42 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh; verse 4: Brihati.

6.42.1 Bring every offering to him who longs to drink and knows all things,to the man ready to travel, who does not lag behind.

6.42.2 Come to meet him with soma, the greatest drinker of soma;with vessels of pressed drops meet Indra, eager for the draught.

6.42.3 When with pressed drops of soma you adorn him,the wise one knows all and boldly seeks the most intense.

6.42.4 For him, for him, ritual priest, bring forward pressed juice;perhaps it will shield us from that conquering, raging enemy's curse.

Hymn 6.43 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Ushnih.

6.43.1 With its rapture you subdued Shambara for Divodasa;this soma is pressed for you, Indra: drink.

6.43.2 With its keen-pressed rapture you guard the feast at its center;this soma is pressed for you, Indra: drink.

6.43.3 With its rapture you released cows from within the solid rock;this soma is pressed for you, Indra: drink.

6.43.4 Delighted by its draught you assumed generous strength;this soma is pressed for you, Indra: drink.

Hymn 6.44 — Seer: Shanyu Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 1–6: Anushtubh; verses 7–9: Viraj.

6.44.1 The richest in riches, most glorious in glory,this soma is pressed for your rapture, Indra, lord of your own power.

6.44.2 The strong one, abundantly strong, giving riches and inspired thoughts,this soma is pressed for your rapture, Indra, lord of your own power.

6.44.3 By it you grow through strength and speed and your own protection;this soma is pressed for your rapture, Indra, lord of your own power.

6.44.4 I praise that never-slackening lord of power,Indra, man who conquers all, most generous and all-seeing.

6.44.5 Songs strengthen him, lord of swift bounty;he worships the might of the two divine worlds.

6.44.6 For Indra spread the ritual grass to exalt your hymn;his protections rise and spread abroad like branches.

6.44.7 The younger found skill like Mitra; drinking, he discerned a greater treasure among gods;winning with cleansed weapons, he became a broad guardian of his friends.

6.44.8 The draught was drunk on Truth's path; the gods set their minds on beauty;he bears the great one's name with words and reveals a form lovely to behold.

6.44.9 Set the brightest insight in us; drive off the peoples' many hostile forces;make us live longer by your powers; in winning wealth, come to our aid.

6.44.10 We belong to you, Indra, generous one, and ask for gifts; do not leave us, lord of bay horses;no mortal friend of yours has yet been found: why do they call you the one who urges on the helpless?

6.44.11 Do not give us over to one who wastes away, bull; may we not lose your rich friendship;you have many restraints for the peoples, Indra: strike down those who press no soma, drive out those who do not give.

6.44.12 Thundering like rainclouds, Indra sends forth gifts of horses and cows;you have cherished singers from of old: let the ungenerous never cheat you, generous one.

6.44.13 Priest, bring a great share of the pressed soma to Indra the hero, for he is its king;he has grown through both ancient and new songs of the sages who praise him.

6.44.14 In its rapture, knowing many shapes, Indra struck down obstacles none could withstand;pour forth that honeyed soma for him, the cheeked hero, to drink.

6.44.15 Let Indra drink the pressed soma and, rejoicing, kill Vritra with his mace;let him come to the sacrifice even from far away, giver and guardian of inspired singers.

6.44.16 Here is the drinking vessel dear to Indra; Indra's beloved immortal draught has been drunk;let it gladden the god with joy and drive away hatred and distress from us.

6.44.17 Rejoicing in it, strike foes down, hero, kin and strangers, hostile men;those drawing armies up and threatening us—crush and strike them down, Indra, far away.

6.44.18 In these battles, generous Indra, make us a broad and easy way;for the victory of children and offspring, Indra, let our generous patrons have their share.

6.44.19 Let strong bay steeds yoked to your mighty chariot, with strong reins,well harnessed and carrying the mace, bring you to us, mighty one, for the bull's delight.

6.44.20 Your mighty drops stand in the vessel, bull, flowing with ghee and rejoicing in waves;to you, Indra, with the bulls of the press they bring pressed soma, bull for the bull.

6.44.21 You are bull of heaven and earth, bull of rivers and standing waters;for you, bull, the soma drop swells, sweet essence to be drunk with honey for the chosen one.

6.44.22 This god, born in power, joined with Indra to thwart the Pani;this soma drop stole his own father's weapons and the evil one's arts.

6.44.23 He made Ushas good wives; he placed light within the sun;in the triple bright realms of heaven he found the deathless thing hidden in the three.

6.44.24 He propped apart heaven and earth, and yoked the seven-rayed chariot;by his power within the cows, soma held the ripe spring governed by ten.

Hymn 6.45 — Seer: Shanyu Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra; verses 31–33: Bribu the carpenter. Meter: Gayatri; verse 29: Atinichrit; verse 31: Padanichrit; verse 33: Anushtubh.

6.45.1 Indra who brought Turvasha and Yadu from afar by a good pathis our young friend.

6.45.2 Indra gives vigor even to the uninspired and wins the appointed prizeeven with a slow horse.

6.45.3 Great are his acts of guidance and many his praises;his protections never fail.

6.45.4 Friends, sing and chant to the bearer of prayer;he is our great guide.

6.45.5 Vritra-slayer, you protect one and you protect two,and people such as we are.

6.45.6 You carry the singers of hymns beyond hatred;with men you are called rich in heroes.

6.45.7 With songs I call the friend borne on prayer,like a cow to be milked for our hymns.

6.45.8 In the two hands of this hero, conqueror of armies,all treasures have been placed.

6.45.9 Even the strongholds of men, O lord of skill, lover of the stone,smash and break down their arts.

6.45.10 You, true Indra, soma-drinker, lord of prizes,we call, desiring glory.

6.45.11 You who once were invoked, and are invoked now in the winning of treasure,hear our call.

6.45.12 With thoughts and horses, Indra, and famed prizes,through you may we win the wealth at stake.

6.45.13 You have become vast, hero, lover of song, Indra,when the great prize is contested in battle.

6.45.14 With that help of yours, slayer of enemies, swiftest in its course,send our chariot forward.

6.45.15 With our chariot, finest charioteer, winning the conflict,you win the prize at stake, victorious one.

6.45.16 Praise him alone, the all-seeing one,born lord of peoples, bull-strong in resolve.

6.45.17 You who have been kind friend and helper to those who praise you,Indra, show us grace.

6.45.18 Grasp the mace in your hand to kill demons, mace-bearer;prevail against every rival.

6.45.19 I call the ancient ally of riches, the friend who inspires singers,foremost bearer of prayer.

6.45.20 For he alone rules over all earthly treasure,the most devoted to songs, impossible to restrain.

6.45.21 Fill our desire with teams and swift, prize-winning horses,and with cattle, bold lord of cows.

6.45.22 Sing this to the much-invoked champion at the pressing,that it bring good to the cattle and their mighty guardian.

6.45.23 The giver does not hold back cattle-rich prizeswhen he hears the songs.

6.45.24 Perhaps the Dasyu-slayer will come to his cattle-filled penand open it for us with his power.

6.45.25 These songs, hundred-powered one, cry out to you,Indra, as mothers call to a calf.

6.45.26 Your friendship is inexhaustible: be a cow for the cattle-seeker, hero,a horse for the one who seeks horses.

6.45.27 Rejoice in the draught with your vast body for our bounty;do not give the singer over to reproach.

6.45.28 At every pressing songs come to you, lover of song,as cows come to their calf.

6.45.29 The most richly praised among all the singers of many voices,he who strengthens them with prizes.

6.45.30 May our song, Indra, be your nearest and strongest bearer;send us on toward great wealth.

6.45.31 Bribu stands above the Panis at their highest summit,like the broad bank of the Ganges.

6.45.32 His generous gift of thousands races like the wind;he gives at once with a lavish hand.

6.45.33 All noble singers forever praise him among us:Bribu, most generous giver of thousands, patron who wins thousands.

Hymn 6.46 — Seer: Shanyu Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Pragatha (odd verses: Brihati; even verses: Satobrihati).

6.46.1 We singers call on you to win the prize;men call on you as lord of truth against obstacles, Indra, and at the racecourse of horses.

6.46.2 So, splendid mace-bearer, lover of the stone, as we praise your greatness,shower us with cows and chariot horses, Indra, and every prize for our victory.

6.46.3 We call on Indra, the unfailing conqueror and all-seeing one;thousand-powered and mighty among men, lord of truth, increase us in battle.

6.46.4 You drive the peoples off like a bull in anger, fierce and terrible;be our protector in winning great riches, in our bodies, waters, and sunlight.

6.46.5 Bring us the highest, most powerful and overflowing fame, Indra;with it, wondrous mace-bearer of fair cheeks, you have filled both worlds.

6.46.6 We call on fierce you for aid, king among the gods, conqueror of peoples;make all our enemies broken and easy to defeat, giver of riches.

6.46.7 Whatever vigor or manly power you have among the Nahusha peoples, Indra,or the glory of the five tribes—bring all your heroic force.

6.46.8 Whatever might is yours among the Trikshu or Druhyu peoples, or among the Purus, generous one,give it to us that we may overcome hostile armies in battle.

6.46.9 Give threefold shelter, Indra, a threefold refuge rich in well-being;provide protection to our patrons and me; drive the weapon far away.

6.46.10 When men thinking of cows boldly attack and strike the enemy,then, generous song-loving Indra, be closest, our body's guardian.

6.46.11 Then in our strife be our growth, Indra; do not fail us in battle,when feathered, keen-tipped arrows fly through the midair.

6.46.12 When heroes extend their bodies to defend their fathers' beloved homes,then give shelter for ourselves and our descendants; drive off senseless hatred.

6.46.13 When you urge the horses onward for the great prize, Indra,along the rough road and crooked path, swift as falcons in pursuit of fame—

6.46.14 as rivers race swiftly downhill following the battle's roar;when men whirl like birds, gripping cattle in their arms.

Hymn 6.47 — Seer: Garga Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra; verses 1–5: soma; verse 20: the gods, Earth, Brihaspati, and Indra; verses 22–25: Prastoka Sarnjaya's gift; verses 26–28: the chariot; verses 29–30: the war drum; verse 31: the drum and Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 15: Dvipada Trishtubh; verse 19: Brihati; verse 23: Anushtubh; verse 24: Gayatri; verse 25: Dvipada Trishtubh; verse 27: Jagati.

6.47.1 This one is sweet, this one is honeyed; this one is sharp, this one rich in essence;no one can resist Indra in battle after he has drunk of it.

6.47.2 This is the sweetest and most exhilarating drink, by which Indra rejoiced in killing Vritra;by it he struck down Shambara's many works, ninety-nine strongholds.

6.47.3 When drunk, this lifts my voice; this has awakened my eager thought;this sage measured the six broad spaces, beyond which no world can reach.

6.47.4 This one made the breadth of earth and the height of heaven, this very one;soma held the nectar in three streams and supported the wide midair.

6.47.5 This one found the splendid visible sea at the forefront of Ushas's bright dwellings;with a great prop this mighty bull with Maruts raised the sky on high.

6.47.6 Drink soma boldly from the vessel, Indra, heroic Vritra-slayer in the contest for treasure;show your might at the midday pressing, source of wealth, and set wealth among us.

6.47.7 Look ahead for us, Indra, as a guide; lead us onward toward better things;carry us safely across and beyond; be our good guide and guide to blessings.

6.47.8 Knowing the way, lead us to a broad space, sunlit, bright, fearless, and secure;may we find shelter beneath your high, enduring arms, Indra.

6.47.9 Set us on your highest chariot seat, Indra, behind your two swift, powerful horses;bring the finest food and do not let hostile rulers overtake us, generous one.

6.47.10 Be gracious to me, Indra, desire that I live, and sharpen my thought like an iron edge;whatever I say from longing for you, accept it and make me god-favored.

6.47.11 I call Indra our savior, Indra our defender, the hero easy to call in every plea;I call powerful, much-invoked Indra: may generous Indra give us well-being.

6.47.12 May Indra, safe guardian, master of himself, all-knowing and gracious, protect us;let him ward off hatred and give us fearlessness; may we rule over good heroes.

6.47.13 May we share in the good thought and blessed kindness of that worthy one;may Indra, secure guardian and master of himself, keep hatred far from us.

6.47.14 Your songs and prayers, Indra, race toward you like streams down a slope, like harnessed teams;you gather many soma pressings as vast gifts, the waters, cattle, and drops, mace-bearer.

6.47.15 Who will praise him, satisfy him, sacrifice to him, when the generous fierce one comes each day?Like feet advancing one before the other, his skill turns what was first to last.

6.47.16 I hear the fierce hero checking one man after another, urging each past the next;Indra, king of both prospering rivals, drives human peoples onward.

6.47.17 He leaves the friendship of those before and goes with those who strive after;shaking off those who do not understand, Indra crosses many autumns.

6.47.18 For every form he has become a matching form: that is his form for us to behold;Indra walks in many shapes by his arts, his bay horses yoked by hundreds and tens.

6.47.19 Yoking bay horses to his chariot, he shines here in abundance;who each day is on the side of enemies, or with the patrons seated here?

6.47.20 We have come to a pastureless field, O gods; the earth, though wide, has become narrow;Brihaspati, discern a path to cattle; Indra, open a path for the singer who speaks thus.

6.47.21 Day after day she cast the dark away from her home, making the two halves alike;the bull slew the Dasas as they claimed the prize, and Varchin and Shambara in the cattle pen.

6.47.22 Prastoka, Indra, has given ten purses and ten racehorses from your wealth;we received from Divodasa Atithigva the treasure won from Shambara.

6.47.23 Ten horses, ten purses, ten garments and covering cloths,and ten lumps of gold I won from Divodasa.

6.47.24 Ten chariots with side horses and a hundred cowsgave Ashvattha to the Atharvans and Payu.

6.47.25 Bearing great gifts for all people, the Sarnjaya honored the Bharadvajas.

6.47.26 Wooden chariot, may your limbs be strong, a friend carrying us across with brave men;you are bound with cowhide: stand firm, and let your rider win his victories.

6.47.27 From heaven and earth your strength was lifted, from the trees your power was gathered;wrapped in cowhide with the force of waters, worship the chariot with oblation, Indra's mace.

6.47.28 Indra's mace, the Maruts' front line, Mitra's child, Varuna's navel;accept our offering, divine chariot, taking our oblations with favor.

6.47.29 Make earth and heaven breathe, and let the whole world know you stand in many places;war drum, with Indra and the gods, drive enemies far, farther away.

6.47.30 Roar out and put might and strength in us; thunder and drive off evils;beat away misfortune, war drum: you are Indra's fist, stand firm.

6.47.31 Turn back our foes; the war drum sounds a clear signal;our horse-winged warriors advance; let our charioteers win, Indra.

Hymn 6.48 — Seer: Shanyu Barhaspatya (Trinapani). Deity: verses 1–10: Agni; 11–15, 20–21: the Maruts; 16–19: Pushan; 22: Heaven and Earth or Prishni. Meter: Pragatha.

6.48.1 At every sacrifice, with every song, let us address Agni with skill;again and again let us praise immortal Jatavedas, dear as a friend.

6.48.2 To the offspring of vigor, the man devoted to us, let us give oblations;let him protect us in contests, make us prosper, and save our bodies.

6.48.3 For you are a bull, Agni, ageless and great, shining with flame;with undying fire blazing, pure one, shine splendidly with bright lights.

6.48.4 You sacrifice to great gods, worthy of sacrifice, with your own wisdom and skill;bring them near for aid, Agni; bestow prizes and win them.

6.48.5 Waters, rocks, and forests nourish the embryo of Truth,who, rubbed forth by men, is born in power on earth's summit.

6.48.6 With light he spread across both worlds and with smoke he rushes through the sky;he appears beyond the darkness in the nights, the bull black and red, black and red.

6.48.7 With great flames, Agni, and brilliant light, O god,kindled among the Bharadvajas, youngest one, shine bright with wealth for us, purifier, shine in glory.

6.48.8 You are lord of the house for all human peoples, Agni;with a hundred strongholds shield the kindler from harm for a hundred winters, and shield the singers who give gifts.

6.48.9 Urge bounty upon us with your splendid aid, giver of riches;you are charioteer of this treasure, Agni: find a crossing for our children.

6.48.10 Carry our children and descendants across with your tireless, unerring guardians;Agni, drive away divine wrath and the twisted plots of godless men.

6.48.11 Friends, approach with a fresh word the cow that yields abundant milk;release her milk without spilling it.

6.48.12 She yields immortal glory to the shining Marut host,graciousness to the swift Maruts, moving with blessings.

6.48.13 She has poured out twice for Bharadvaja,the cow who gives milk to all and food that feeds all.

6.48.14 I praise and proclaim him like wise Indra, like Varuna skilled in wonders,like delightful Aryaman with abundant food, like Vishnu.

6.48.15 May mighty Pushan, like the fierce Marut host, unhindered and roaring,gather hundreds and thousands for the peoples, reveal hidden treasures and grant us good wealth.

6.48.16 Come swiftly near me, Pushan, radiant one, that I may praise you in your ear;for hostile rulers are ungenerous.

6.48.17 Do not uproot the Kakambira tree, for you have removed ill-speaking curses;do not, O sun, even in daylight put a bird's neck in peril.

6.48.18 Let your friendship be as secure as an unbroken waterskin,a skin without holes and full to the brim.

6.48.19 For you are beyond mortals and equal to gods in splendor;look on us in battles, Pushan, and help now as in ancient days.

6.48.20 Let your beautiful guidance be rich in beauty, your leading rich in true speech;from the god or from the mortal who knows you, Maruts worthy of sacrifice.

6.48.21 The sun himself does not circle the sky as swiftly as this one's action;the Maruts have taken fierce power and a name worthy of sacrifice: Vritra-killing strength, their foremost Vritra-killing strength.

6.48.22 Once heaven was born, once the earth was born;once milk was drawn from Prishni, and no other is born after that.

Hymn 6.49 — Seer: Rijishvan Bharadvaja. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 15: Shakvari.

6.49.1 I praise with fresh songs the people of good ordinances, Mitra and Varuna, bringers of kindness;let them come and listen here, strong in dominion—Varuna, Mitra, and Agni.

6.49.2 At every sacrifice the peoples worship the messenger of the two young worlds, whose resolve never fails:Agni, child of heaven, son of strength, ruddy signal of the sacrifice.

6.49.3 Two daughters of the ruddy one are different in form: one is adorned with stars, the other with sunlight;alternating their courses, passing before the purifier, hear the recited praise.

6.49.4 Let lofty thought approach Vayu, bringing immense treasure, precious to all, enough to fill a chariot;with brilliant team he hastens on: inspired one, you wish to sacrifice for the sage, worthy of worship.

6.49.5 May that chariot of the Ashvins, adorned with gold and yoked by thought, cover me with beauty;on it, Nasatyas, you travel in your circuit, bringing food to our descendants and ourselves.

6.49.6 Parjanya and Vayu, bulls, quicken earth's nourishing waters;true-hearing sages, with your songs make the standing and moving worlds move.

6.49.7 Sarasvati, bright-lived daughter of Pavirava, wife of the hero, grant inspired thought;with the goddesses grant the singer impenetrable shelter, whole and free of breach.

6.49.8 I have reached with a song the lord of every path, fashioned by desire;let Pushan grant us splendid gifts and prosper each inspired thought.

6.49.9 May radiant Agni, priest, sacrifice to Tvashtar, worthy of worship in homes and easy to call,the first to receive a share, bearer of glory and strength, skilled and bountiful god.

6.49.10 With these songs increase Rudra, father of the world, by day and by night;let us invoke the great and lofty, ageless, kindly one, guided by inspired thought.

6.49.11 Come, youthful Maruts, wise and worthy of worship, to your singer's chosen gift;for growing in power you brighten even what is dark, drawing near like the Angirases.

6.49.12 Toward the strong and mighty, swift one, like a herdsman sending the flock home;he touches the body of praise, as stars touch the vault with inspired words.

6.49.13 Vishnu, who measured the earthly realms three times for beleaguered Manu,under your shelter may we rejoice in wealth, in ourselves, and in our children.

6.49.14 Let Ahi Budhnya with the waters and songs, the mountain, and Savitar grant us joy;with herbs let Bhaga and Purandhi, rich in gifts, prosper us with wealth.

6.49.15 Grant us now chariot-rich wealth filling the peoples, with many heroes, guardian of great Truth;give us a lasting home with which to overcome godless rivals and reach the hostile peoples.

Hymn 6.50 — Seer: Rijishvan Bharadvaja. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.50.1 With reverence I call divine Aditi, Varuna, Mitra, and Agni to kindness;Aryaman of the blessed gift, the guardian gods, Savitar and Bhaga, for protection.

6.50.2 Beautifully lit Surya, go to the guiltless gods, fathers of skill, mighty and radiant;twice-born and true, they work for Truth, are rich in sunlight, worthy of sacrifice, and have Agni for a tongue.

6.50.3 And you, heaven and earth, your vast dominion, wide worlds, grant shelter and goodwill;make wide passage for us, two inspired ones, for an undisturbed dwelling.

6.50.4 Let Rudra's sons, the unconquered Vasus, bow to our call today;whether in small or great distress we summon the Maruts, the gods at hand.

6.50.5 The two divine worlds are mingled among them, and Pushan accompanies the eager sacrificer;when the Maruts hear the call and travel, the lands shake along their opened path.

6.50.6 Singer, honor that heroic lover of songs, Indra, with a fresh prayer;let him hear our call and come near to receive praise, and grant the prizes as we honor his greatness.

6.50.7 Human waters, grant our children and descendants unbroken shelter and peace;for you are healers, most motherly of all, begetters of everything still and moving.

6.50.8 Let god Savitar come to guard us, golden-handed and worthy of sacrifice;with gifts he unveils treasures for the giver, as Ushas unveils her face.

6.50.9 And you, son of strength, bring the gods to us at this rite today;may I ever be among those who receive your gifts; let me be strong in sons through your help, Agni.

6.50.10 Let you two Nasatyas, sages, come to my call through inspired thought;as you freed Atri from great darkness, save us, O men, from danger at hand.

6.50.11 Grant us radiant riches and prizes, many heroes and abundant cattle;be gracious to us, generous gods of heaven and earth, born of cows and waters.

6.50.12 Let Rudra and Sarasvati be gracious together, and bountiful Vishnu and Vayu;let Ribhu, divine Vaja and the ordainer help; Parjanya and Vayu swell our food.

6.50.13 And let the divine Savitar, Bhaga, and the offspring of waters guard our abundant gift;let Tvashtar with the gods and their births, heaven with the gods, earth with the seas.

6.50.14 Let Ahi Budhnya and Aja Ekapad hear us, earth and ocean;let all the gods who strengthen Truth, called and praised with inspired songs, protect us.

6.50.15 Thus Bharadvaja's sons honor with songs and thoughts the sons of that mighty one;invoked goddesses and invincible Vasus, all worthy of worship, accept our praise.

Hymn 6.51 — Seer: Rijishvan Bharadvaja. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 13–15: Ushnih; verse 16: Anushtubh.

6.51.1 The great eye, dear to Mitra and Varuna, rises unconquered;the pure, beautiful face of Truth gleams like gold when it rises in heaven.

6.51.2 The inspired sun knows the three assemblies of the gods and their secret births;seeing straight and crooked ways among mortals, he watches the conduct of the Arya.

6.51.3 I praise the great guardians of Truth, Aditi, well-born Mitra and Varuna;with Aryaman and Bhaga, incorruptible in thought, I speak to the pure ones as their companion.

6.51.4 I long to serve the Adityas, Aditi's children, devourers of evil, lords of Truth,unfailing great kings, givers of good shelter, young masters of heaven and good dominion.

6.51.5 Father Heaven, mother Earth, Agni our brother, Vasus, be gracious to us;all you Adityas, with Aditi, together stretch your ample shelter over us.

6.51.6 Do not give us over to wolf or she-wolf, or any malevolent one, O worshipful gods;you guide our bodies like charioteers; yours is the word of wisdom.

6.51.7 Let us not bear a wrong done by another, nor the sin you condemn, O Vasus;for you rule all, All-Gods; let the offender himself suffer in his body.

6.51.8 With reverence I worship the fierce; reverence upholds both earth and heaven;reverence to the gods, reverence governs them; with reverence I seek pardon even for committed wrong.

6.51.9 For Truth I bow to your charioteers, pure in skill, who dwell in Truth's house, unfailing;I bow to you all with reverence, far-seeing men, great and worthy of sacrifice.

6.51.10 They shine supremely and carry us beyond all misfortunes:Varuna, Mitra, and Agni, strong in dominion, whose thought is Truth and whose word rules.

6.51.11 Let Indra, earth and soil strengthen us, Pushan, Bhaga, Aditi, and the five peoples;let them give good shelter and guidance, be our own aid, our fine saviors and guardians.

6.51.12 May Bharadvaja attain a heavenly home, and the priest the gods' favor;with his worshiping mouth the sacrificer seeking wealth honors the births of the gods.

6.51.13 That crooked, deceitful thief and enemy, Agni,make him farthest away from us, lord of truth, and our road easy.

6.51.14 The pressing stones longed for friendship with us, O Soma;strike down the devouring Pani: he is a wolf.

6.51.15 You are good givers, gods, led by Indra and strong against foes;make our road easy at home, our guardians along the way.

6.51.16 We have come upon a safe and untroubled path,by which we escape all hatred and find wealth.

Hymn 6.52 — Seer: Rijishvan Bharadvaja. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 7–12: Gayatri; verse 14: Jagati.

6.52.1 I cannot approve of it by heaven or earth, by sacrifice or by these holy labors;let the lovely mountains overwhelm him; let the worshiper who overdoes his worship fall away.

6.52.2 Whoever, Maruts, thinks himself above us or maligns the prayer being made,let burning evils be his; let heaven blaze against the hater of prayer.

6.52.3 Why then do they call you the guardian of prayer, Soma, the guardian against our curses?Why watch us being reviled? Hurl your burning weapon against the hater of prayer.

6.52.4 Let dawning Ushas protect me, swelling rivers protect me;let steadfast mountains protect me, and let the fathers protect me when gods are invoked.

6.52.5 May we always be of good mind; may we see the sun rise;may the lord of treasures, called among the gods, come readily to help us.

6.52.6 Let Indra be nearest in help, Sarasvati swelling with rivers,Parjanya bringing joy through plants, and Agni gracious and easy to call as a father.

6.52.7 Come, all you gods; hear my call;seat yourselves on this ritual grass.

6.52.8 The one who honors you, gods, with a ghee-soaked oblation,come to him, all of you.

6.52.9 Let the deathless offspring hear our approaching songs;let them be gracious to us.

6.52.10 All-Gods who strengthen Truth and hear our calls in season,accept the milk of fellowship.

6.52.11 Indra, the Marut host, Tvashtar, Mitra, and Aryaman,accept these offerings of ours.

6.52.12 Agni, priest who knows the ways, sacrifice this rite of ours,knowing well the divine people.

6.52.13 Hear my call, all you gods in the midair and near heaven,you whose tongue is Agni, worthy of worship; seated on this ritual grass, rejoice.

6.52.14 May all the worshipful gods hear me, and both worlds and the offspring of waters hear my song;may I never speak words you scorn; let us rejoice closest to your kindness.

6.52.15 All who are great on earth, born of heaven or in the waters' gathering, free of serpent-guile,let those gods favor us with full life, bringing room for our days and nights.

6.52.16 Agni and Parjanya, guard my thought in this call, and accept our praise as you are easy to invoke;one brings forth nourishment, the other seed; set fruitful food before us.

6.52.17 On strewn ritual grass, with Agni kindled, I worship with a great hymn and reverence;at our assembly today, all you worthy gods, rejoice in the oblation.

Hymn 6.53 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri; verse 8: Anushtubh.

6.53.1 Lord of paths, Pushan, for the winning of prizeswe have yoked you to our thoughts as to a chariot.

6.53.2 Lead us to a manly patron, a hero whose hand gives freely,a gracious lord of the house.

6.53.3 Urge even the one unwilling to give, radiant Pushan, to give;soften even the Pani's heart.

6.53.4 Mark out the paths to the prize, strike off foes;let our fierce designs come to fulfillment.

6.53.5 Pierce the Panis' hearts with your goad, inspired one;then bring them under our sway.

6.53.6 Prod the Pani's heart with your goad, Pushan; seek his goodwill;then bring them under our sway.

6.53.7 Scratch and furrow the Panis' hearts, inspired one;then bring them under our sway.

6.53.8 With the goad that stirs prayer which you bear, radiant Pushan,scratch every heart of theirs and furrow it.

6.53.9 The cattle-herding whip of yours, radiant one, that finds the flocks:we ask for its goodwill.

6.53.10 Make our cattle-seeking thought and our horse-winning, prize-winning thoughtmanly for the feast.

Hymn 6.54 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri.

6.54.1 Pushan, lead us to one who knows and directs us straight,who will say, “Here it is.”

6.54.2 Let us go with Pushan, who will point out the housesand say, “These are they.”

6.54.3 Pushan's wheel does not break, its hub does not fall out,nor does its rim grow weak.

6.54.4 Pushan does not let go of the one who has served him with an offering;that one is first to find wealth.

6.54.5 Let Pushan follow our cows and protect our horses;let Pushan win the prize for us.

6.54.6 Follow the cows, Pushan, of the sacrificer who presses soma,and of us who praise you.

6.54.7 Let none be lost, let none be hurt, let none break its leg at the well;bring them here unharmed.

6.54.8 We ask hearing Pushan, tireless and never losing wealth,to rule over treasure.

6.54.9 Under your ordinance, Pushan, may we never suffer harm;we are your singers here.

6.54.10 Let Pushan extend his right hand far around;let him bring back what we have lost.

Hymn 6.55 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri.

6.55.1 Come, radiant son of release, let us join together;be our charioteer on the road of Truth.

6.55.2 We seek the most skilled charioteer, the braided-haired friend,master of great bounty.

6.55.3 You are a stream of wealth, radiant one, a heap of treasure, goat-horsed friendof everyone wise in thought.

6.55.4 Now we will praise Pushan, goat-horsed winner of prizes,who is called the lover of his sister.

6.55.5 I have spoken to the one who courts his mother: let his sister's lover hear us,Indra's brother and my friend.

6.55.6 Let goats harnessed to the chariot carry Pushan,the glorious god, bearing him onward.

Hymn 6.56 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri; verse 6: Anushtubh.

6.56.1 Whoever calls him only an eater of gruel, this Pushan,does not command the god.

6.56.2 And with him as friend and truthful charioteer,Indra strikes down obstacles.

6.56.3 That finest charioteer drew the golden wheel of the sundown toward the mottled cow.

6.56.4 If today, much-praised and wondrous one, we speak our thought to you,bring that thought of ours to fulfillment.

6.56.5 Guide our cattle-seeking company toward success;Pushan, you are renowned from afar.

6.56.6 We seek your well-being, near to riches and far from evil,for wholeness today and wholeness tomorrow.

Hymn 6.57 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra and Pushan. Meter: Gayatri.

6.57.1 Now let us call Indra and Pushan for friendship and well-being,for the winning of prizes.

6.57.2 One comes near to drink the soma pressed in the vessel;the other desires gruel.

6.57.3 Goats are the one god's steeds, bay horses carry the other;with them the two strike down obstacles.

6.57.4 When Indra, foremost bull, brought the mighty waters down the slope,there Pushan stood beside him.

6.57.5 On Pushan's goodwill we lay hold, like a branch upon a tree,and on Indra's too.

6.57.6 We yoke Pushan as a charioteer yokes the reins,and Indra for great well-being.

Hymn 6.58 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 2: Jagati.

6.58.1 One day of yours is bright, the other sacred; like heaven you take two forms;you guard all wonders, self-empowered Pushan: let your gift to us be blessed.

6.58.2 Goat-horsed guardian of cattle, lord of prizes, inspirer of thought established throughout the world,Pushan brandishes his supple goad and the god travels, watching over the worlds.

6.58.3 Your golden boats, Pushan, move in midair, far within the sea;in them you travel on Surya's mission, fashioned by desire and seeking fame.

6.58.4 Pushan, good kinsman of heaven and earth, lord of nourishment, bountiful in marvelous glory,was given to Surya's daughter by the gods, desired by love, powerful and beautiful.

Hymn 6.59 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra and Agni. Meter: Brihati; verses 7–10: Anushtubh.

6.59.1 I proclaim your heroic deeds at your soma pressings;your fathers, foes of the gods, are dead, Indra and Agni, but you two live.

6.59.2 Truly your greatness is most worthy of praise, Indra and Agni;you two brothers have the same father, and here and there are twins with two mothers.

6.59.3 Dwelling by the pressed soma like two horses beside their feed,Indra and Agni, armed with the mace, we call on you gods here for help.

6.59.4 Whoever praises you, Indra and Agni, where soma is pressed, you two who strengthen Truth,there you speak words of favor and never consume his gifts without blessing them, gods.

6.59.5 Indra and Agni, what mortal understands you two gods?One chariot travels on the same road with horses harnessed in different directions.

6.59.6 Indra and Agni, this footless one came before creatures with feet;leaving its head behind, it speaks with its tongue and travels thirty paces.

6.59.7 Indra and Agni, men stretch their bows across their arms;do not turn away from us in this great struggle for cattle.

6.59.8 Indra and Agni, hostile rulers and enemies torment us;turn away hatred and drive it from the sunlight.

6.59.9 Indra and Agni, you possess treasures of heaven and earth;give us here wealth that will sustain a whole life.

6.59.10 Indra and Agni, borne on hymns, hearing our call through praises,come with every song to drink this soma.

Hymn 6.60 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra and Agni. Meter: Gayatri; verses 1–3, 13: Trishtubh; verse 14: Brihati; verse 15: Anushtubh.

6.60.1 He who faithfully worships you, Indra and Agni, breaks Vritra and wins the prize;lords of abundant wealth, you strive together with might for the prize.

6.60.2 Fight now for the cattle, Indra, and for the waters, sun and hidden dawns, Agni;Indra, you reveal sunlight and splendid dawns; Agni, with your teams you join waters and cows.

6.60.3 Come here, Indra and Agni, Vritra-slayers, with Vritra-slaying strength and our reverent songs;with your most excellent and unerring gifts, stand beside us, Indra and Agni.

6.60.4 I call on the two who brought forth this whole world long ago;Indra and Agni never fail.

6.60.5 I call fierce Indra and Agni, destroyers of foes;let them show us grace in this need.

6.60.6 Slay Arya obstacles, slay Dasa obstacles, lords of truth;strike down every hostile force.

6.60.7 These songs have praised you, Indra and Agni;drink the pressed soma, bringers of joy.

6.60.8 Whatever teams you have that men yearn for, you two,come with them to the giver, Indra and Agni.

6.60.9 With them come, O men, to this pressed libation;Indra and Agni, come drink soma.

6.60.10 Praise him who enfolds all forests with flameand blackens them with his tongue.

6.60.11 The mortal who with fire kindled desires Indra's favorcrosses the waters safely for glory.

6.60.12 Let them fill us with prize-bearing food and swift horses,to bear Indra and Agni here.

6.60.13 I call on both of you, Indra and Agni, and both your gifts, to rejoice with us;I call on you both, givers of food and riches, to win the prize.

6.60.14 Come to us with cattle, horses, and treasures;I call on the two friendly gods for friendship, Indra and Agni, bringers of joy.

6.60.15 Indra and Agni, hear the call of the soma-pressing sacrificer;partake of our oblations, come and drink the honey of soma.

Hymn 6.61 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Sarasvati. Meter: Gayatri; verses 1–3, 13: Jagati; verse 14: Trishtubh.

6.61.1 She gave vigorous Divodasa, who settles debts, to Vadhrishva, the generous worshiper;she devoured the ever-grasping Pani: these are your mighty gifts, Sarasvati.

6.61.2 With powerful waves she breaks mountain ridges like lotus roots;with songs and thoughts let us serve Sarasvati, who strikes down far-off peoples, for aid.

6.61.3 Sarasvati, drive away the god-revilers and every offspring of cunning Brisaya;for the peoples you found river valleys and flowed forth for them, rich in prizes.

6.61.4 Let divine Sarasvati, rich in prizes,protect our inspired thoughts with her gifts.

6.61.5 The one who calls on you for the wealth at stake, goddess Sarasvati,as one calls on Indra to overcome Vritra—

6.61.6 help us in the prize-contests, goddess Sarasvati, rich in prizes;carve out success for us, as Pushan does.

6.61.7 May fearsome Sarasvati, whose path is golden,Vritra-slayer, desire our good praise.

6.61.8 Her endless, unbending, swift-flowing floodmoves with a roar and irresistible force.

6.61.9 Let her carry us beyond all hatred, true to Truth,like the sun crossing past her sister rivers.

6.61.10 May beloved Sarasvati, dearest among her seven sisters,receive our songs with joy.

6.61.11 Filling earth's regions and the wide midair,let Sarasvati protect us from condemnation.

6.61.12 Dwelling in three places, bearing sevenfold, fostering the five peoples,let her be invoked in every struggle for prizes.

6.61.13 In her greatness she is foremost among great ones, surpassing the other waters in glory and deeds;like a vast chariot fashioned for splendor, Sarasvati deserves praise from the discerning.

6.61.14 Lead us toward better things, Sarasvati; do not overflow us with your milk or scorch us;accept our friendship and our homes: let us not travel to foreign lands away from you.

Hymn 6.62 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.62.1 I praise you men, Ashvins, descended from heaven, and call you, growing old, with songs;at once at dawn you hasten to the far ends of earth, traversing its vast reaches.

6.62.2 Turning toward the sacrifice, you light your chariot through the clear realms;measuring countless vast expanses, you cross rivers and deserts and swift plains.

6.62.3 Whenever a distressed man calls, you two fierce ones have always carried prayers swiftly with your horses;with horses quick as thought you ease the worshiper's suffering.

6.62.4 Let the ageless priest welcome the new thought of this aging singer and his yoked team;youthful ones, bring fair sustenance, food and vigor, as he calls you to sacrifice.

6.62.5 Fair and wondrous two, strongest of all, ancient ones, I call to you with a new song;you bring greatest joy to the praising singer and splendid gifts to the one who honors you.

6.62.6 You brought Bhujyu, Tugra's son, out of the sea on winged steeds;by dustless paths you carried him from the deep waters, borne on flying wings.

6.62.7 In your victorious chariot go beyond the rock; hear the call of Vadhrimati, mighty ones;you gave a cow to Shayu, and to Chyavana you brought favor, helping the worshiper.

6.62.8 Whatever divine anger has filled heaven and earth, whatever anger among mortals,Adityas, Vasus, and Rudra's children, set its burning evil upon those who yoke themselves to demons.

6.62.9 Whoever orders these realms aright in season, Mitra and Varuna perceive him;let them direct the weapon toward the deep deceit and the harmful word.

6.62.10 Come for our children with shining chariot and wheels inside wheels;sever the head even of the secretly hostile mortal.

6.62.11 Come here with your farthest, middle, and nearest teams;open even the doors of the firm cattle-filled fold for your singer, wondrous givers.

Hymn 6.63 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 1: Viraj; verse 11: Ekpada Trishtubh.

6.63.1 Where are the two lovely, much-invoked ones today, found by a reverent hymn like a messenger?Turn toward us, Nasatyas; you are beloved in this prayer.

6.63.2 Come here to my call, that you may drink the draught as I praise you;on your circuit you pass beyond dangers which neither far nor near can overcome.

6.63.3 A wide space is made for your draught; the most welcoming ritual grass is spread;with hands uplifted, the lover of you bows, and pressing stones are anointed as they reach you.

6.63.4 For you Agni has risen at the sacrifices, and the swift, ghee-rich gift comes forward;the priest opens his heart in praise of you, Nasatyas, harnessed at the oblation.

6.63.5 Surya's daughter mounted the chariot for beauty, you bountiful pair who give a hundred helps;show your wonders here, workers of wonders, O men, dancers among those born for sacrifice.

6.63.6 With your radiant splendors you bore beautiful Surya's daughter to her wedding;your bird flew forth after her beauty and your divinely inspired voice reached praise.

6.63.7 Let your strongest horses carry you here to the feast, Nasatyas;your thought-swift chariot is sent forth with food and sustenance and the hosts who desire food.

6.63.8 You two bring much to many: swell our tireless cow of nourishment;for you have our praise, honey-loving ones, and the juices flowing to your gifts.

6.63.9 Rijra gave me a hundred light-running horses, Sumilha ripe gifts, and Peruka others;Shanda with golden wheels gave ten lofty cows to accompany us.

6.63.10 Purupantha gave hundreds and thousands of horses to your singer, Nasatyas;he gave them to Bharadvaja, heroes; let your manifold wonders strike down demons.

6.63.11 May I dwell in the broad expanse of your favor with generous patrons.

Hymn 6.64 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.64.1 The gleaming dawns have risen in splendor, shining like waves of water;she makes all paths easy to travel, the wealthy and generous goddess of gifts.

6.64.2 Blessed to behold, you shine afar; your radiant beams have flown into the sky;you reveal your face in beauty, goddess Ushas, shining with greatness.

6.64.3 Her glowing red cattle carry the fortunate one, widening far and wide;like a hero driving off foes, her swift light drives darkness away.

6.64.4 Easy is your passage on the mountains, over the waters you cross on good roads, self-luminous one;bring us wealth on your wide lofty course for our sustenance, heaven's daughter.

6.64.5 You carry with willing steeds the gift we desire, Ushas, following your joy;come, goddess daughter of heaven, lovely in your first invocation and abundant in gifts.

6.64.6 Birds rise from their resting places at your dawn, and people rise to claim their share of food;at home you bring abundant beauty to the giving mortal, goddess Ushas.

Hymn 6.65 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.65.1 This daughter of heaven has awakened human settlements by shining forth;with her bright gleam she is known through the lovely nights, even across their darkness.

6.65.2 The lovely dawns, in shining chariots, have traveled with ruddy-yoked horses;leading the vast sacrifice forward, they drive away the night's darkness.

6.65.3 Bearing fame, prizes, food and vigor to the mortal who offers,bountiful dawns rich in heroes, set help and treasure before the worshiper today.

6.65.4 Today you have treasure for the worshiper, dawns, today for the hero who gives;today for the aging sage who praises you in hymns, as you carried gifts of old for his like.

6.65.5 Today, Ushas, on the mountain the Angirases praise you beside the cattle pens;with songs and prayers they broke the pens open; their invocation to the gods became true.

6.65.6 Dawn for us as of old, daughter of heaven, bountiful one, as for the worshiping Bharadvajas;grant heroic wealth to the singer, and set far-ranging fame upon us.

Hymn 6.66 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.66.1 Let even the wise recognize this form, the common name of the ruling cow;among mortals one milk has swelled, and Prishni's udder yielded bright milk once.

6.66.2 They shone like fires that had been lit, when the Maruts grew twofold and threefold;golden and dustless, they gathered with their manly strength and power.

6.66.3 These are the sons of bountiful Rudra, whom the steadfast mother bore;for their mother knew the great one: Prishni placed the embryo within her lovely body.

6.66.4 They have not been feeble since birth; from within they cleanse all faults;when they flow out pure at will, they anoint their bodies in splendor.

6.66.5 Even the bold Maruts, named for milking swiftly, cannot be held still;they are not easily praised nor reached in their greatness, and no generous one masters these fierce ones.

6.66.6 Fierce in power, bold in their hosts, they yoke together both well-joined worlds;heaven and earth stand before those radiant helpers, never restraining them.

6.66.7 Let your journey, Maruts, be without a chariot or horses; even the horseless man they send forth;without seats or reins they travel through the realms, crossing heaven and earth upon the path.

6.66.8 No one can turn or surpass the man whom you help to win a prize, Maruts;for children, cattle, descendants, or waters, he breaks open the enclosure on the decisive day.

6.66.9 Bring a splendid song to that swift, self-empowered Marut host for its singer;they master powers by power, and earth trembles beneath their force, Agni.

6.66.10 Bright with vigor, like lightning at a rite, swiftly moving like Agni's tongues,worthy of praise, roaring like heroes, the unconquered Maruts are born resplendent.

6.66.11 With invocation I honor that growing Marut host, bright-speared sons of Rudra;let our pure thought approach heaven's host; fierce as mountains, they have challenged the waters.

Hymn 6.67 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.67.1 With songs we would increase you, Mitra and Varuna, highest among all the true;you bind two different peoples together with your arms, as one draws taut the closest reins.

6.67.2 My thought spreads the ritual grass for you two, approaching with reverence the dear place;bring us your unassailable protection, Mitra and Varuna, your sheltering shield, good givers.

6.67.3 Come, Mitra and Varuna, to fair praise, called near with loving reverence;when you encompass peoples like a workman and govern even the distant by your greatness.

6.67.4 Like two prize-winning horses, pure in union, when Aditi conceived them as the embryo of Truth,they grew mighty at birth, and turn their fearful face upon the hostile mortal.

6.67.5 All the gods, rejoicing in your bounty together, placed dominion in your hands;you encircled even broad heaven and earth, with unerring and tireless watchers.

6.67.6 Day after day you uphold dominion; you strengthen the vault like heaven's loftiest peak;fixed are the stars, O All-Gods; you have measured out the earth and set the sky in place.

6.67.7 You two fill the broad belly when the gathered household fills your dwelling;the young waters never fail, when they bring their milk to enliven all.

6.67.8 Ever discerning with your tongue, when truthful service to you was born in Truth,let that greatness of yours, fed with ghee, stand firm, and clear away distress from the giver.

6.67.9 When rival men, Mitra and Varuna, diminish the dear dwellings you created,neither the gods nor mortals nor unoffering sons can assail you with arrogance.

6.67.10 When poets bring forth speech and some recite the sacred invocations they have devised,we speak true hymns of you, whose greatness no one among the gods can equal.

6.67.11 Seeking your shelter, Mitra and Varuna, I turn to your unfailing help;when the cows run on the straight course, when a bold bull is yoked for the contest.

Hymn 6.68

6.68.1 Our sacrifice has been raised for you with pleasure, on grass strewn as Manu strewed it;come, Indra and Varuna, today for nourishment and for great goodwill.

6.68.2 For you two are best in godly power, swiftest and strongest of heroes;most generous to the generous, mighty in strength, you conquer Vritra by Truth with every host.

6.68.3 Praise Indra and Varuna with reverent songs and kindly wishes;one kills Vritra with the mighty mace, the other walks among the peoples as a sage.

6.68.4 When goddesses and men and all the gods gave increase to the heroes by their own praise,through your greatness, Indra and Varuna, heaven and earth became wide for them.

6.68.5 He is a generous, self-reliant man, true to Truth, Indra and Varuna, who gives of himself to you;with food that giver crosses beyond hatred and wins wealth and people rich in treasures.

6.68.6 Gods, the abundant cattle-rich wealth you give to the performer of sacrifice,let that be ours, Indra and Varuna, to overcome the curses of enemies.

6.68.7 Let our patrons have wealth protected by gods and two good saviors, Indra and Varuna;its strength prevails in battles and its glory immediately passes beyond the foe.

6.68.8 Now as we praise you, gods Indra and Varuna, adorn us with wealth for good renown;praising thus your mighty host, may we cross evils like waters in a boat.

6.68.9 Bring forth a dear vast prayer to great Varuna the sovereign;through might and mighty ordinance he shines over wide spaces, ageless in his design like flame.

6.68.10 Indra and Varuna, soma-drinkers firm in ordinance, drink this pressed and gladdening soma;your chariot approaches the sacrifice at dawn to drink for the gods' delight.

6.68.11 Indra and Varuna, mighty ones, flourish on the sweetest of strong soma;this draught is poured for you: sit on this ritual grass and rejoice.

Hymn 6.69 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra and Vishnu. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.69.1 With deed and food I urge you on, Indra and Vishnu, to the far side of this task;accept our sacrifice and give us wealth, carrying us across by unharmed paths.

6.69.2 Indra and Vishnu, parents of all thoughts, you two vessels that hold soma,let our words of praise help you, let hymns voiced in songs come forth.

6.69.3 Indra and Vishnu, masters of the joys of rapture, come to the soma bringing riches;let our thoughts anoint you with songs, and our praises with recited hymns.

6.69.4 Let your horses, conquerors of hostile designs, bring you two to the feast, Indra and Vishnu;receive every inspired invocation, hear my prayers and songs.

6.69.5 This feat of yours deserves praise, Indra and Vishnu: in soma's ecstasy you strode the broad space;you made the midair wider and spread the realms for us to live in.

6.69.6 Strengthened by offering, Indra and Vishnu, drinking first, given oblations with reverence,let your streams of ghee grant riches to us; you are an ocean, a vessel full of soma.

6.69.7 Drink of this honeyed soma, Indra and Vishnu, wondrous ones, and fill your bellies;your exhilarating draughts have come: hear my prayers and call.

6.69.8 Both of you have conquered and neither is conquered; neither of the two has ever been defeated;when you competed, Indra and Vishnu, you sent a thousand prizes forth in three directions.

Hymn 6.70 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Jagati.

6.70.1 Rich in ghee, beautiful over the worlds, vast and broad, sweet-milking and lovely,heaven and earth are upheld by Varuna's ordinance, ageless and rich in seed.

6.70.2 Never exhausted, flowing with abundance, full of milk, faithful to pure ordinances, they yield ghee to the good man;bright sovereigns of the world, you two, pour over us the seed established by Manu.

6.70.3 The mortal who gives to you for a straight passage, two inspired worlds, succeeds;he flourishes with children under law, in whom your many-formed seeds have been sown.

6.70.4 Heaven and earth are wrapped in ghee, glorious and nourished with ghee, mingled with ghee;the inspired praise the spacious, broad two, placed foremost in the priest's duty, for kindness and fulfillment.

6.70.5 Pour sweetness over us, heaven and earth, sweet-flowing, sweet-milking, sweet in ordinance;bearing sacrifice and divine gifts, grant us great fame, prizes, and brave sons.

6.70.6 Let father Heaven and mother Earth swell our vigor, all-knowing and skillful in wonder;the two worlds, bringers of blessing, giving together, bring us wealth and winning prizes.

Hymn 6.71 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Savitar. Meter: Jagati; verses 4–6: Trishtubh.

6.71.1 The wise god Savitar has raised his golden arms to send life forth;the youthful, skillful lord sprinkles his hands with ghee across the ordered regions.

6.71.2 May we share in the god Savitar's finest impulse and gift of riches;for you hold dominion over the resting and awakening of every two-footed and four-footed being.

6.71.3 With your faithful and gracious guardians, Savitar, protect our home today;golden-tongued one, guard us for fresh prosperity; let no evildoer govern us.

6.71.4 At each evening the divine Savitar rises at home, golden-handed;iron-jawed, worthy of worship, sweet-tongued, he sends abundant blessings to the giver.

6.71.5 Savitar has raised his beautiful golden arms like one who beckons;he climbed the heights of heaven and earth and brought even the flying darkness to rest.

6.71.6 Send us blessing today, Savitar, blessing tomorrow, and blessing day after day;through this thought, O god, may we share in your abundant realm of blessing.

Hymn 6.72 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Indra and Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.72.1 Great is your greatness, Indra and Soma: you performed great first deeds;you found the sun, you found the sunlight, and struck down every darkness and condemnation.

6.72.2 Indra and Soma, you brought Ushas into being and raised the sun with the light;you supported heaven with a prop and spread our mother earth far and wide.

6.72.3 Indra and Soma, you killed the serpent Vritra, who enclosed the waters, and heaven approved;you set the river floods moving, and their many waters spread to the seas.

6.72.4 Indra and Soma, you placed what was ripe among the raw, within the udders of cows;you seized bright milk within these shining, moving ones, though it was not tied there.

6.72.5 Indra and Soma, to the peoples you gave a son who conquers, wins descendants, and is praised;you two fierce ones spread manly strength among mortals, victorious over armies.

Hymn 6.73 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.73.1 Firstborn of Truth and breaker of the rock, Brihaspati Angirasa, bearer of offerings,spanning both worlds, our father seated in the warmth, roars like a bull across heaven and earth.

6.73.2 Brihaspati made a place even for the afflicted people when the gods were called;he strikes down obstacles, breaks strongholds, wins against foes, and vanquishes enemies in battle.

6.73.3 Brihaspati won treasures and the great enclosures rich with cattle;seeking waters and knowing the sunlight, the god Brihaspati strikes down enemies with songs.

Hymn 6.74 — Seer: Bharadvaja Barhaspatya. Deity: Soma and Rudra. Meter: Trishtubh.

6.74.1 Soma and Rudra, sustain your divine power; let our offerings reach you both;setting seven treasures in every home, bring good to our two-footed and four-footed creatures.

6.74.2 Soma and Rudra, drive out the sickness that has entered our home and spreads in all directions;banish destruction far away, and let blessed fame be ours.

6.74.3 Soma and Rudra, place all these medicines within our bodies;loosen and remove whatever wrongdoing lies bound within our limbs.

6.74.4 Armed with sharp weapons and keen shafts, kind Soma and Rudra, be gracious here;free us from Varuna's noose and, with kind hearts, protect us.

Hymn 6.75 — Seer: Payu Bharadvaja. Deity: blessings for battle: verse 1: armor; 2: bow; 3: bowstring; 4: bow tips; 5: quiver; 6: charioteer and reins; 7: horses; 8: chariot; 9: chariot guards; 10: Brahmins, fathers, Soma, Heaven and Earth, Pushan; 11–12, 15–16: arrows; 13: whip; 14: arm guard; 17: battlefield, armor, Brahmanaspati and others; 18: armor, Soma, Varuna; 19: divine prayers. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 6, 10: Jagati; verses 12–13, 15–16, 19: Anushtubh; verse 17: Pankti.

6.75.1 The armored man looks like a raincloud as he enters the clash of armies;win with your body unpierced; let the armor's greatness carry you through.

6.75.2 With the bow let us win cows and the battle; with the bow win fierce contests;the bow frustrates the enemy's desire; with the bow let us conquer every direction.

6.75.3 As if to speak, it approaches the ear, embracing its dear companion;like a woman the bowstring hums when stretched upon the bow, carrying us across the battle.

6.75.4 Like two women walking together, like a mother holding her child in her lap,let the two bow tips, pulsing, agree in piercing our foes and scattering enemies.

6.75.5 Father of many, with many children, the quiver clicks when it meets the battle;bound behind the back, sent forward, it conquers every skirmish and army.

6.75.6 Standing in the chariot, the good charioteer drives his steeds wherever he wishes;praise the power of the reins: following his mind from behind, they direct the team.

6.75.7 The horses make a fierce noise, strong-hoofed, racing with their chariots;trampling enemies beneath their forehooves, they destroy foes without retreating.

6.75.8 The chariot's name is oblation-carrier, where weapons and armor are stored;there let us sit with favor always in the chariot, with kindly hearts.

6.75.9 Our fathers are sweet in counsel, givers of strength, experienced in hardship, deep in power,with splendid armies and arrows, undefeated, heroic, broad and overcoming hosts.

6.75.10 Brahmins and the soma-blessed fathers, gracious heaven and earth, make our way untroubled;let Pushan and those who foster Truth guard us from evil; let no evildoer rule us.

6.75.11 The arrow wears feathers, has a deer's tooth, and flies when sent forth, bound with cowhide;where warriors rush together and scatter, there let the arrows grant us shelter.

6.75.12 Stand around us in a straight line, arrow; let our bodies be as stone;let Soma speak on our behalf and Aditi grant shelter.

6.75.13 They strike their horses' flanks and beat their haunches;knowing whip, drive the horses forward in battle.

6.75.14 The arm guard coils around the arm like a serpent, turning aside the bowstring's blow;knowing every path, let this man protect the man on every side.

6.75.15 Red-anointed, with a deer's head and an iron tip,to this divine arrow, child of Parjanya's seed, great homage.

6.75.16 Fly far away when released, arrow sharpened by prayer;seek out the enemy, strike him down, and leave none of them alive.

6.75.17 Where arrows fly together like boys with unbound hair,there let Brahmanaspati and Aditi shelter us, shelter us forever.

6.75.18 I cover your vital parts with armor; let king Soma clothe you in the deathless;let Varuna grant you the widest space and the gods rejoice as you win.

6.75.19 Whoever seeks to kill us, one of our own or a stranger or outsider,let all the gods overcome him: prayer is my inner armor.

Hymn 7.1 — Seer: Vasishtha Maitravaruni. Deity: Agni. Meter: Viraj; verses 19–25: Trishtubh.

7.1.1 With their thoughts and hands, men bring forth illustrious Agni from the two fire-sticks,the far-seeing, active lord of the house.

7.1.2 The Vasus have kindled that Agni in their dwelling, a splendid sight and source of help from every side,the skillful one who always lives in the house.

7.1.3 Shine in front of us when kindled, youngest Agni, with your unceasing light;to you prizes continually come.

7.1.4 From your fires, Agni, flames surpassing other flames have shone, radiant and rich in brave men,where well-born people gather together.

7.1.5 Give us wealth through thought, Agni, rich in heroes and good children, mighty and renowned,which no one practicing sorcery can overcome.

7.1.6 To him a skillful young woman comes, bearing offerings and ghee by night and day;reverent devotion, seeking riches, approaches her own beloved.

7.1.7 Burn all enemies away, Agni, with the fires that burned the aging one;drive out the howling affliction.

7.1.8 When Vasishtha kindles your face, bright, blazing, purifying Agni,be here with us through these hymns of praise.

7.1.9 Those mortals who shared your radiance, the ancestral men in many places,be here with us through them, gracious Agni.

7.1.10 Let these heroic men withstand every godless deceit in battles against Vritra,these men who praise my distinguished thought.

7.1.11 Do not let us sit amid the desolation of men, Agni, nor let childlessness surround you;let us dwell in homes alive with children.

7.1.12 May the horseman come constantly to our sacrifice and our home rich in offspring and good children,growing by its own birth and descendants.

7.1.13 Protect us, Agni, from an unwelcome demon, from the fraud of an evil-minded enemy;with you as ally may we overcome those bent on battle.

7.1.14 Let this Agni surpass other fires, where the prize-winning son has strong hands;he travels the thousandfold path that never decays.

7.1.15 That Agni protects from the hostile and saves his kindler from distress;well-born heroes attend him on every side.

7.1.16 This is the Agni honored with offerings everywhere, whom the lord kindles with fuel and gifts;the priest attends him at sacrifices.

7.1.17 In you, Agni, let us who have power make many offerings, forever;serving both those who bring gifts at the sacrifice.

7.1.18 Agni, tirelessly carry these most welcome oblations to the assembly of gods;may their fragrant gifts come back to us.

7.1.19 Do not consign us to childlessness, Agni, or to poverty, want, or witlessness;not to hunger, not to demons, faithful one; do not call them upon our house or forest.

7.1.20 Now strengthen my prayers, Agni, divine bringer of good to generous men;may we share in your gift on both sides; always guard us with your blessings.

7.1.21 Easy to invoke, lovely to behold, shine with good light, Agni, son of strength;let no harm come to our constant companion or child, nor any alien foe rob us of our hero.

7.1.22 Do not commend us to bad keepers, Agni, among these god-kindled fires;let your evil thoughts never reach us, divine son of strength, not even by mistake.

7.1.23 That mortal is rich, bright-faced Agni, who gives oblations to the immortal;he wins a god-given wealth for which the generous patron goes seeking.

7.1.24 Knowing the greatness of our good fortune, Agni, bring abundant wealth to our patrons;with it may we, strong one, rejoice unbroken in life and rich in heroes.

7.1.25 Now strengthen my prayers, Agni, divine bringer of good to generous men;may we share in your gift on both sides; always guard us with your blessings.

Hymn 7.2 — Seer: Vasishtha Maitravaruni. Deity: the Apri deities: kindling or kindled Agni; Narashansa; Ila; the ritual grass; the divine doors; Ushas and Night; the two discerning divine priests; Sarasvati, Ila, and Bharati; Tvashtar; the forest trees; and the offerings made with “svaha.” Meter: Trishtubh.

7.2.1 Accept our kindling today, Agni; blaze high, filling the sacred smoke.Touch the summit of heaven with your plumes; spread abroad with the sun's rays.

7.2.2 With sacrifices let us praise the greatness of Narashamsa, worthy of worship.The gods of good purpose, pure and thoughtful, savor both kinds of offerings.

7.2.3 We would always magnify for the sacrifice Agni, worthy of praise, mighty and skillful, the truthful messenger between both worlds,kindled by Manu as in the days of Manu.

7.2.4 Bending the knee, the worshipers bring forward the ritual grass before Agni with reverence.Pouring the ghee-backed, speckled offering, priests, adorn yourselves with oblation.

7.2.5 The wise god-seekers have opened the doors at the divine assembly, eager for the chariot.As mothers lick their child, the elder ones anoint him, like women gathered at festivals.

7.2.6 And the two great heavenly women, Dawn and Night, like a cow rich in milk,rich, much-invoked, seated on the grass, let them come to our sacrifice for good fortune.

7.2.7 Inspired singers at human sacrifices, I think of you two, wise ones, to worship you.Raise our rite amid invocations; win treasures among the gods for us.

7.2.8 Let Bharati come with the Bharatis, Ila with men and gods and Agni;Sarasvati with the Sarasvatis: let the three goddesses sit here on the grass.

7.2.9 Then, divine Tvashtar, grant us what nourishes and brings swift growth.From it a capable hero of good purpose is born, his pressing stone harnessed, longing for the gods.

7.2.10 Lord of the forest, release the offering toward the gods; Agni, its preparer, makes the oblation ready.He, the truest priest, will sacrifice, for he knows the births of the gods.

7.2.11 Come here, Agni, kindled, sharing a chariot with Indra and the swift gods.Let Aditi, blessed with sons, sit on our grass; with the cry of svaha let the deathless gods rejoice.

Hymn 7.3 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.3.1 Make divine Agni, together with the fires, the most worthy of worship, your messenger at the rite:among mortals he stands firmly in Truth, his head aflame, feeding on ghee, purifying.

7.3.2 Like a horse neighing for pasture when he breaks from his great enclosure,the wind follows his flame, and then your track is black.

7.3.3 Your undying flames, newborn mighty Agni, rise and move;your ruddy smoke goes toward heaven, for you go as messenger to the gods.

7.3.4 When your power has spread across the earth, when your jaws quickly seize their food,it rushes forth like a deployed army; with your tongue, wondrous one, you reach for the grain.

7.3.5 At dusk and dawn men groom that youngest Agni as they groom a racing horse.The guest, honed in his dwelling, shines: the mighty one's flame is fed.

7.3.6 Your fair face, fair-fronted one, shines like a golden ornament near at hand.Your force sounds like heaven's thunder; you face the light like the brilliant sun.

7.3.7 As we offer to Agni with svaha, with songs of praise and ghee-rich gifts,with your boundless powers protect us, Agni, with a hundred iron strongholds.

7.3.8 With those unassailable gifts you hold for the giver, or songs by which you guard heroic people,protect us, son of strength, and our generous patrons and singers, knower of births.

7.3.9 When he goes forth pure, like a polished ax, shining in his own shape,he who was born of two mothers, desired, wise, purifying, for the worship of the gods.

7.3.10 Shine these blessings upon us, Agni; may we attain understanding and clear thought.Let all good things be for the singers and their patrons; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.4 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.4.1 Bring your oblation and your well-purified thought to Agni, the bright light,who knowingly passes through all divine and human generations.

7.4.2 May Agni be wise, though young, youngest from the moment of his birth from his mother;he joins the forests, his teeth gleaming, and instantly eats abundant food.

7.4.3 At the gathering of this god, in his presence, mortals have seized the bright one;Agni proclaimed a human dwelling and shone for the wanderer in a hard place to live.

7.4.4 This seer among the unseeing, Agni the deathless, was set among mortals, all-aware.Let him not betray us here, mighty one; may we always be of good heart toward you.

7.4.5 He took his seat in a place made by gods: Agni by his insight has reached the immortals.Plants and trees hold him as an embryo, and so does earth, sustaining all.

7.4.6 Agni rules abundant immortality, rules wealth to give and fine heroic strength.Mighty one, may we not sit around you childless, idle, and powerless.

7.4.7 May we be masters of secure wealth, of riches freely given, abiding forever.There is no remnant of alien birth, Agni; do not turn us off the path through thoughtlessness.

7.4.8 A stranger is not gentle to grasp, nor can one of another womb be understood by thought.Yet he returns to his home; let the new prize-winning champion come to us, unconquered.

7.4.9 Protect us, Agni, from one who seeks to harm; protect us from disgrace, mighty one.Let a clear path come to you, and wealth worth longing for, a thousandfold.

7.4.10 Shine these blessings upon us, Agni; may we attain understanding and clear thought.Let all good things be for the singers and their patrons; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.5 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.5.1 Bring song to mighty Agni, the envoy of heaven and earth,Vaishvanara, who grows in the lap of all immortals through those who keep watch.

7.5.2 Agni was placed on heaven's back and on earth, leader of rivers and bull of standing waters.He shines across human tribes, Vaishvanara, grown strong by the precious gift.

7.5.3 In fear of you the dark tribes fled, leaving their food behind in disarray;you blazed for Puru, Vaishvanara, when, Agni, you shattered their strongholds.

7.5.4 Earth and heaven in their threefold realm follow your ordinance, Agni Vaishvanara.With your light you stretched out both worlds, shining with unceasing flame.

7.5.5 To you, Agni, eager, streaming songs rich in ghee cling like golden mares:lord of peoples, charioteer of riches, Vaishvanara, sign of dawns and days.

7.5.6 The Vasus placed divine lordship in you, for they delight in your purpose, friend of Mitra.You drove the Dasyus out of their homes, Agni, giving broad light to the Arya.

7.5.7 Born in the highest heaven, you instantly guard the paths like the wind.You generate worlds, crying aloud, knower of births, granting offspring.

7.5.8 Set that brilliant nourishment in motion for us, Agni Vaishvanara, knower of births,with which you swell the reward, all-bountiful one, and broad fame for the mortal giver.

7.5.9 Join for us, Agni, to our generous ones much-nourishing riches and celebrated prize.Grant us great shelter, Vaishvanara, in accord with the Rudras and Vasus.

Hymn 7.6 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.6.1 I proclaim the praise of the sovereign lord, the man to whom peoples sing assent;like Indra's mighty deeds I declare his deeds, praising the wood as I praise him.

7.6.2 The worlds encourage the sage, the beacon, the radiant support of the mountain, for happy dominion.With songs I seek the great ancient ordinances of Agni, destroyer of strongholds.

7.6.3 The plotters, the bound ones of hostile speech, the Panis without faith, growth, or sacrifice:Agni has driven these Dasyus away, turning those who would not sacrifice into people of the past.

7.6.4 He, foremost among men, by his powers made those who reveled in western darkness turn east;I praise that Agni, lord of wealth, unbending, who subdues his foes.

7.6.5 He bent the fortresses with his weapons; he made the dawns wives of the Arya.Young, mighty Agni checked the Nahusha and by force made the tribes bring tribute.

7.6.6 Under his shelter all peoples have stood in their ways, asking favor:Vaishvanara Agni took his seat, chosen of both worlds, in the lap of his parents.

7.6.7 The god Vaishvanara took the treasures of the depths at the sun's rising;Agni took them from the nearer and farther sea, from heaven and earth.

Hymn 7.7 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.7.1 With reverence I urge for you the divine, mighty Agni like a racing horse.Be our messenger, knowing the sacrifice; by yourself find the gods, swift-running one.

7.7.2 Come by your own paths, Agni, rejoicing in the gods' friendship;roar with your force over the earth's ridge, burn every forest with your jaws.

7.7.3 The sacrifice faces east, the grass is laid well; Agni, praised like a priest, is pleased.Call the two universal mothers here, youngest one, from whom you were kindly born.

7.7.4 Immediately at the rite thoughtful humans give birth to their charioteer.In the dwelling Agni is set as lord of the peoples, joyous, honey-tongued, true to Truth.

7.7.5 The chosen carrier has sat down: Agni has arrived, priest and sustainer among men;he whom heaven and earth both make grow, whom the priest invokes, desired by all.

7.7.6 With their splendors these cross beyond all things, men who fashioned the noble, chosen hymn;the tribes press forward, listening, those who have pondered this Truth of mine.

7.7.7 Now we Vasishthas seek you, Agni, son of strength, lord of treasures.Bring nourishment to generous singers; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.8 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.8.1 The king is kindled in battle with reverence; his face is fed with ghee.Men under pressure worship with offerings; Agni shone before the dawns.

7.8.2 This great one has appeared: Agni, joyful priest, mighty among men.Spreading his radiance over earth, his path blackened, he has grown among the plants.

7.8.3 By what praise shall we illuminate you, Agni? What sustaining power will you hear when praised?When shall we become lords of fair gifts, winners of wealth, of a good hard to conquer?

7.8.4 This Agni of Bharata is heard again and again, shining widely like the sun;he stood beside Puru in battles, the glowing heavenly guest, and blazed.

7.8.5 Many invocations have found a place in you; with all your faces you have become kindly.Even when praised, Agni, you listen to the singer; grow of yourself, well-born one.

7.8.6 Let this word, winning hundreds and thousands, rise to Agni with a double strength;may he bring well-being to singers and friends, bright, dispelling illness, slayer of demons.

7.8.7 Now we Vasishthas seek you, Agni, son of strength, lord of treasures.Bring nourishment to generous singers; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.9 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.9.1 The lover of dawns has awakened from their lap, joyous priest, most inspired, purifying.He gives a signal to both races: offerings to gods, and wealth to the good.

7.9.2 Wise is he who has opened the doors of the Panis, purifying our hymn of abundant food;the joyful priest, master of the clans' houses, appears beyond the darkness of nights.

7.9.3 Unfoolish sage, boundless, radiant, well-seated friend and gracious guest,he of brilliant light shines before the dawns; the child of waters entered the swelling streams.

7.9.4 Worthy of praise through generations of men, knower of births shone equally;he shines with beautiful light, and the cows wake to him as he is kindled.

7.9.5 Go on your embassy, Agni, unharmed, toward the gods with the company of hymn-makers;worship Sarasvati, the Maruts, Ashvins, waters, and all the gods for the placing of treasure.

7.9.6 Vasishtha kindles you, Agni: strike down old age and offer sacrifice for abundant riches.Praise us, knower of births, by many paths; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.10 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.10.1 Like dawn's lover his broad force spread, flashing, gleaming, flaming.The tawny bull shines with pure light, urging eager thoughts, waking them.

7.10.2 Golden at the dawns' dwelling he shone, as worshipers stretch forth sacrifice and song.Agni the god, knowing every birth, ran as messenger, longing for gods, most desired.

7.10.3 Songs and godward thoughts go toward Agni asking wealth,toward the beautiful, fair-faced, kindly carrier of gifts, the envoy of mortals.

7.10.4 Agni, bring Indra with the Vasus, in harmony, and mighty Rudra with the Rudras;Aditi, mother of all, with the Adityas, and Brihaspati with the singers, desired by all.

7.10.5 The peoples at their rites praise joyous Agni, youngest priest, as worshipers;he has become the guardian of riches through the nights, tireless messenger calling the gods to sacrifice.

Hymn 7.11 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.11.1 You are this great rite's bright sign; without you the immortals do not rejoice.Come with all the gods in one chariot, Agni; sit here as the foremost priest.

7.11.2 Mortals bearing oblations ever seek you as a swift messenger.For the one on whose grass you sit with the gods, Agni, the days become fortunate.

7.11.3 Even three times in the night, perceive the treasures held within you for the mortal giver.As in Manu's time, worship the gods here, Agni; be our messenger and guard against curses.

7.11.4 Agni rules the great rite; Agni rules every oblation prepared;for the Vasus delight in his insight, and the gods appointed him carrier of offerings.

7.11.5 Bring the gods to today's oblation, Agni; let them rejoice here with Indra at their head.Place this sacrifice among the gods in heaven; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.12 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.12.1 We have approached with great reverence the youngest, who shines kindled in his own home,brilliant between the broad worlds, well offered to, facing every way.

7.12.2 By greatness conquering all evils, Agni, knower of births, is praised at home.May he guard us singers and our generous patrons from evil and disgrace.

7.12.3 You are Varuna and Mitra, Agni; the Vasishthas magnify you with thoughts.May treasures easy to win be yours; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.13 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.13.1 Bring thought and song to all-purifying Agni, who holds thought, who slays the demons.As I place an offering on the grass, I delight in Vaishvanara, guide of our thoughts.

7.13.2 Shining with your flames at birth, Agni, you filled the two worlds.You freed the gods from the curse, Vaishvanara, knower of births, by your greatness.

7.13.3 At your birth, Agni, you surveyed the worlds, roaming like a herdsman over his beasts.Find a path for our prayer, Vaishvanara; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.14 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh, Brihati (verse 1).

7.14.1 With kindling and invocations to the gods, we reverently give offeringsto Agni, the god and knower of births, whose flames are bright.

7.14.2 We will serve you with kindling, Agni, and give you fine praise, worshipful one;we will serve with ghee, priest of sacrifice, with oblation, god of auspicious flame.

7.14.3 Come near with the gods to our invocation, Agni, rejoicing in the cry of vashat.May we give to you, a god; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.15 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

7.15.1 Pour the offering into the mouth of the approachable bountiful one,who is nearest to us in friendship.

7.15.2 He who has taken his seat among the five peoples in every home,young sage, lord of the house.

7.15.3 May Agni, who knows the enemy, guard us on every side,and protect us from distress.

7.15.4 Now I have fashioned a new hymn for Agni, the eagle of heaven;may he win us treasure.

7.15.5 His glory is lovely to behold, his wealth like that of a man rich in heroes,as he blazes at the head of the sacrifice.

7.15.6 Let Agni hear this vashat cry and welcome our songs,most worthy of worship, carrier of oblations.

7.15.7 We will set you in place, lord of peoples, radiant god;Agni, when offered to, rich in brave sons.

7.15.8 Shine through nights and dawns; with you we are well supplied with fires,you rich in heroes, mindful of us.

7.15.9 For gain the inspired men approach you with their thoughts,and streams flow near by thousands.

7.15.10 Agni drives off demons, immortal with bright flame,pure, purifying, worthy of praise.

7.15.11 Bring us rewards, mighty lord of strength;and let Bhaga grant the choicest share.

7.15.12 You, Agni, grant glory rich in heroes; the god Savitar, Bhaga,and Diti grant us what is precious.

7.15.13 Guard us against distress, Agni, against one who harms us;undying god, burn him with your hottest flames.

7.15.14 Then be our great iron fortress, unassailable, to save our people,a stronghold of a hundred arms.

7.15.15 Guard us from the distresses of the evildoer, at dusk and dawn,by day and night, unconquerable one.

Hymn 7.16 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Pragatha (alternating Brihati and Satobrihati).

7.16.1 With this reverence I call Agni to you, offspring of strength,beloved, most discerning, an immortal envoy of all, who makes the rite prosper.

7.16.2 He harnesses his ruddy, all-nourishing steeds; well offered to, he rushes out.With fair prayer and fair work the sacrifice brings divine wealth to peoples.

7.16.3 His flame has risen, the bountiful one's, when offerings are poured;his ruddy smokes rise and touch heaven: the men kindle Agni together.

7.16.4 We make you our most glorious messenger: bring the gods here for delight.Grant every mortal pleasure we ask of you, son of strength.

7.16.5 You are our household lord, Agni, our priest at the sacrifice;you are the purifier, all-desired, all-wise: worship and bring us precious things.

7.16.6 Make treasure for the sacrificer, wise one, for you are giver of treasure;sharpen every priest for us according to Truth, whoever praises well and acts skillfully.

7.16.7 May beloved patrons be yours, Agni, when you receive good offerings,generous men who guide the peoples and grant broad pastures for their cows.

7.16.8 In their homes Ila with ghee in her hands sits down at morning:protect them, mighty one, from treachery and insult; give us enduring shelter.

7.16.9 With your joyous tongue and discerning mouth, carrier of gifts,bring wealth to our generous patrons, Agni, and prepare the offering.

7.16.10 Those who grant rewards and gifts of horses in their hunger for great renown,protect them from distress with your saving powers, youngest one, with a hundred strongholds.

7.16.11 The god who gives wealth longs for your full libation;pour it out or fill it up: then the god carries you forward.

7.16.12 The gods made him the wise priest and carrier of this sacrifice;Agni gives treasure and brave sons to the people who worship and give.

Hymn 7.17 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Trishtubh.

7.17.1 Agni, be kindled with good kindling, and let the grass be spread out broadly.

7.17.2 Let the eager doors open wide; bring the eager gods here.

7.17.3 Receive the oblation, Agni, worship the gods, knower of births; make our rite prosper.

7.17.4 The knower of births will make our rite prosper, worship and please the deathless gods.

7.17.5 Win all precious things, discerning one; let our wishes come true today.

7.17.6 The gods appointed you, Agni, carrier of offerings, child of strength.

7.17.7 May we be those who give to you, the god; distribute great treasures to us as you come.

Hymn 7.18 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra; Sudas Paijavana (verses 22–25). Meter: Trishtubh.

7.18.1 In you, Indra, our fathers too, singers, found every delight;in you are cows rich in milk and horses; you win wealth for the one who seeks the gods.

7.18.2 Like a king you dwell with your peoples, far-seeing sage, surpassing all with your shining.Adorn our songs with cows and horses, generous one; strengthen us for riches, who depend on you.

7.18.3 These joyous songs, eager for the gods, approach you here, vying for your favor.Let your path of wealth come toward us; may we stand in your kindly shelter, Indra.

7.18.4 Vasishtha has released hymns toward you, eager to milk you like a cow on fine pasture.I call you the keeper of all my cows; let Indra come toward our prayer with favor.

7.18.5 Indra made easy fords across the swelling waters for Sudas;he overcame the proud Shimyu, and made the rivers' curse impotent.

7.18.6 The Turvasha and Yakshu stood foremost; the Matsyas, seeking riches, were sharp as a goad;the Bhrigus and Druhyus obeyed, and friend crossed over to friend on opposite sides.

7.18.7 The Pakthas, Bhalanas, Bhanantas, Alinas, Vishanins, and Shivas came;he who brought the Arya's companions came to the Tritsus with men in battle for cattle.

7.18.8 With foolish designs they harmed Aditi and senselessly seized the Parushni;in greatness he spread over the earth as its master; the sage lay awaiting his prey.

7.18.9 They sought the Parushni for gain and found disaster; not one reached the swift crossing.Indra crushed the boastful, hostile men for Sudas among humankind.

7.18.10 They came like unherded cows for pasture, gathering against their friend as planned;their dappled cattle sent forth in dappled ranks, their hosts and warriors obeyed.

7.18.11 For fame the king cast down twenty-one peoples of the two Vaikarnas;the wondrous hero, Indra, made their ranks break like ritual grass spread in its place.

7.18.12 Then the mace-armed one drowned the famed elder Kavasha and drove back Druhyu;here they chose companionship as friends, those who sought you and rejoiced in you.

7.18.13 Suddenly Indra shattered all seven of their fortified strongholds with force;he gave the dwelling to the Tritsu, descendant of Anu: may we conquer hostile-speaking Puru in the assembly.

7.18.14 Cattle-seeking Anus and Druhyus lay down dead, sixty hundreds and six thousand;sixty heroes, and six times more: all these were Indra's heroic deeds.

7.18.15 These Tritsus, eager for Indra, ran down like waters released;false friends, measuring out their own ruin, left all their food to Sudas.

7.18.16 He drove half the hero's force, unmindful of Indra and clamoring, across the ground;Indra measured wrath against wrath and took the paths of the fleeing host.

7.18.17 With a feeble man he made that deed alone; he struck even the lion with a ram;Indra tore off the fortifications and gave all the provisions to Sudas.

7.18.18 Though the enemies are many, you have subdued them; find a breach in proud Bheda too.The mortal who does wrong to your singer—cast your sharp mace upon him, Indra.

7.18.19 The Yamuna and Tritsus spoke to Indra; there he plundered Bheda in the great contest.The Ajas, Shigrus, and Yakshus carried tribute, the heads of horses.

7.18.20 I cannot count your ancient or new kindnesses and riches, Indra, any more than dawns.You struck even proud Devaka; by yourself you shattered mighty Shambara.

7.18.21 Parashara and Vasishtha of a hundred songs rejoiced as they came from their home toward you;they do not forsake your generous friendship: then let good days dawn for the patrons.

7.18.22 Two hundred cows from Devavat's grandson, two chariots with brides from Sudas:I receive the gift of Paijavana, Agni, and sing around his house like a priest.

7.18.23 Four gifts of Paijavana's, unbidden, decked in jewels, are mine;Sudas's straight-backed horses standing on earth carry me, for fame from generation to generation.

7.18.24 His glory throughout the broad space between the two worlds he allotted head by head;seven flowing rivers praise Indra; he has set down the combatant in the battle at hand.

7.18.25 Maruts, attend this Sudas as you did his father Divodasa;protect the beacon of Paijavana, his unassailable, deathless, beneficent dominion.

Hymn 7.19 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.19.1 Like a fearsome bull with pointed horns, he alone stirs all the peoples;you guide the enduring, ungiving man to ruin, but bring wealth to the presser of soma.

7.19.2 You guarded Kutsa then, Indra, attending him in person amid the struggle;you subdued the Dasa Shushna and Kuyava for him, instructing the son of Arjuni.

7.19.3 Bold one, by your bold powers you protected Vitahavya and Sudas with all your aids;you protected Trasadasyu, son of Purukutsa, and Puru in the winning of land and slaying of Vritra.

7.19.4 With men, man-minded, for the gods' delight, you slay many Vritras, bay-horsed one;you put Dasyu Chumuri and Dhuni to sleep for Dabhiti, easy to overcome.

7.19.5 Your shattering deeds, mace-handed one: you took ninety-nine strongholds in a day,entered the hundredth dwelling, and struck Vritra and Namuchi as well.

7.19.6 Those gifts of old are yours, Indra, for Sudas who offers oblations;I harness your two mighty bays, mighty one: let songs reach the prize, rich in power.

7.19.7 Do not let us fall in this conflict, mighty bay-horsed one, into sin through your withdrawal;guard us with harmless defenses, and let us be dear to you among patrons.

7.19.8 Let us, your dear companions, rejoice in your shelter when help is needed, generous one;subdue Turvasha and Yadu for Atithigva, accomplishing a praiseworthy deed.

7.19.9 Even now in need of your help, generous one, men proclaim hymns and praises;those who with their calls scattered the ungiving Panis: choose us for this alliance.

7.19.10 These songs turn to you, foremost of men, as we give our gifts;be gracious in their battle with Vritra, Indra, a hero, friend and guardian of men.

7.19.11 Now, praised, heroic Indra, grow strong in person, urged by prayer, to help us;measure out prizes and strongholds for us; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.20 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.20.1 Born fierce for valor, self-possessed, he made the waters flow, a man of deeds;young, he came with aid to men's dwelling: Indra, protect us from even grievous sin.

7.20.2 Indra slew Vritra and grew strong; the hero has saved the singer with aid;he made open space for Sudas and again and again gave treasure to the giver.

7.20.3 A fighter without rival, making battle, warrior who overcomes from birth,Indra in his own strength scattered the armies and slew all who made themselves foes.

7.20.4 By your greatness, Indra, you spread across both worlds with your mighty forces;bay-horsed Indra wielded the mace and spoke in joy among draughts of soma.

7.20.5 The bull begot a bull for battle, and a woman too bore that manly one;he goes before the men as their leader, strong and bold, seeking cattle.

7.20.6 No one falters or fails who reveres his fearsome mind;whoever pays homage to Indra with sacrifices dwells rich, guardian of Truth, born of Truth.

7.20.7 Indra, when the elder taught the younger, the greater gave the lesser his gift,though immortal he came from far away: bring us wondrous, shining wealth.

7.20.8 Your dear man who gives, mace-bearer, is indeed your companion;may we be very close to your favor, within your shelter, safe from slaughter, rescued among men.

7.20.9 This hymn cries out to you like a bull; the praise is fashioned, generous one;your singer, desiring wealth, has come: mighty one, make us able to obtain treasure.

7.20.10 Grant us nourishment, Indra, for those devoted to you and generous men who urge us on;let your power be bountiful to your singer; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.21 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.21.1 The soma bright with cows has been pressed for the god; Indra claimed it from birth.We wake you with sacrifices, bay-horsed one; wake to our song amid soma's raptures.

7.21.2 They go to sacrifice, spread the grass, soma-drinkers with fierce voices in assembly;far-thundering bulls who stand among men lift up their glorious grasping hands.

7.21.3 You released the flowing waters, Indra, hero, long restrained by the serpent;all fashioned things shake with fear before you, like chariots that swerve.

7.21.4 Fearsome, he arrived with weapons, knowing all the works of men;Indra joyously broke apart the strongholds, struck far and wide in his greatness, mace in hand.

7.21.5 Sorcerers have not overpowered us, Indra, nor their chants with hidden arts, strongest one;he will defy that enemy of divided mind; let not the phallus-worshipers violate our Truth.

7.21.6 You filled the earth with purpose, Indra, while the spaces could not contain your greatness;by your own strength you struck down Vritra, and no enemy has found the limit of your battle.

7.21.7 The ancient gods themselves measured their powers by your lordship and dominion;Indra apportions bounties by victory; they call Indra when prizes are to be won.

7.21.8 Even a humble singer called you for help, Indra, lord of abundant good fortune;you have been our help, lord of a hundred aids; let your protector shield us from aggression.

7.21.9 Let us always be your companions, Indra, growing by reverence, crossing over by greatness;with your help let us overcome in battle the hostile strength of our adversaries.

7.21.10 Grant us nourishment, Indra, for those devoted to you and generous men who urge us on;let your power be bountiful to your singer; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.22 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Viraj; Trishtubh (verse 9).

7.22.1 Drink the soma, Indra: may it delight you, pressed for you by the stone, bay-horsed one;well guided by the presser's arms like a horse.

7.22.2 May that lovely, allied rapture by which you slay the Vritras, bay-horsed one,delight you, Indra, lord of abundant treasures.

7.22.3 Hear this speech of mine, generous one, the praise Vasishtha sings to you;welcome these prayers at our shared feast.

7.22.4 Hear the cry of the stone being pressed; know the singer's inspired hymn;bring your favor close, that we may share it.

7.22.5 Knowing your power, I do not neglect your swift songs or your fine praise;I always proclaim your name and its own glory.

7.22.6 Many are your pressings among men, and many a wise man calls to you;do not leave us long, generous one.

7.22.7 All these pressings are yours, hero; for you I make prayers that increase you;you are to be invoked by men everywhere.

7.22.8 Not even now, as they ponder you, wondrous and fierce one, do they reachyour greatness, your prowess or your gifts, Indra.

7.22.9 The ancient seers and the new, inspired, fashioned hymns for Indra;let your gracious friendship be ours; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.23 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.23.1 Songs have risen for fame; exalt Indra in battle, Vasishtha,who spread out all things by his power and listens to my eager words.

7.23.2 My cry rises, Indra, kin of the gods, when the deaf are stirred to speak;no man knows his own lifespan: carry us across these afflictions.

7.23.3 I harness the cattle-seeking chariot with its two bays; hymns have come to honor it.Indra, striking the Vritras without resistance, has pressed the two worlds apart by greatness.

7.23.4 Even the waters have swelled like milch cows; your singers have found Truth, Indra;come to us like Vayu with his teams, for you distribute prizes by our thoughts.

7.23.5 Let these raptures delight you, Indra, powerful giver of riches to your singer;you alone among the gods grant favors to mortals: rejoice in this pressing, hero.

7.23.6 So the Vasishthas praise the mighty mace-armed Indra with hymns;may he, praised, grant us sons and cows; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.24 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.24.1 Your dwelling has been made, Indra; come to it with your men, much-invoked one,so that you may aid our growth, give us treasures, and rejoice in soma.

7.24.2 Your mind is caught, Indra of double strength; soma is pressed and sweet draughts poured;this fine praise brings streams set free; this thought calls Indra.

7.24.3 From heaven, from earth, bold one, come to this grass to drink soma;let your bays carry you toward delight and toward our mighty song for rapture.

7.24.4 Come to us with all your aids, in harmony, bay-horsed one, accepting prayer;clear a broad way with your ancient powers, fair-cheeked Indra, placing manly strength in us.

7.24.5 This song has been yoked to mighty, fierce Indra like a racer bearing the yoke;this hymn asks you for riches: place us in high renown as heaven stands above heaven.

Hymn 7.25 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.25.1 Come to our great aid, fierce Indra, when angry armies clash;lightning falls from the hero's arms: do not let your mind stray elsewhere.

7.25.2 Break the foes in their fortress, Indra, mortals who attack us;put the slanderer's voice far away; bring us a store of treasures.

7.25.3 May your hundred aids and thousand praises and gifts reach Sudas, fair-cheeked one;strike the hostile mortal with your weapon; set glory and treasure in us.

7.25.4 I share your purpose, Indra, your gift as a guardian, hero;through all the days, fierce one, make your home in power, bay-horsed one, and do not fail us.

7.25.5 These Kutsa men come seeking god-inspired strength from bay-horsed Indra;make all Vritras easy to slay, hero; may we cross over and win the prize.

7.25.6 So fill us with precious things, Indra; may we experience your great kindness;swell brave nourishment for generous patrons; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.26 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.26.1 Unpressed soma never delighted Indra, nor pressed soma without prayer delighted the generous one;so I make a hymn for him to cherish, that he hear us like a man hearing something new.

7.26.2 At every hymn soma has delighted Indra, at every rite the pressings delight the generous one,when those in need, like sons calling their father, call for help with one purpose.

7.26.3 He has done those deeds, and will do others, which the seers speak of at soma pressings;like one husband to many wives, Indra has cleared all strongholds away.

7.26.4 So they say, and I have heard: Indra alone distributes gifts and crosses over;his many aids outdo one another: let dear good things attend us.

7.26.5 So at the pressing Vasishtha praises Indra, bull of men and peoples, for help;measure out thousandfold prizes to us; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.27 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.27.1 Men call on Indra at the turning of battle, when they harness thoughts for the crossing;hero, yearning for strength in the winning of men, give us a share in the cattle-rich fold.

7.27.2 Your might, generous Indra, grant it to your companions and men, much-invoked one;you know how to open even the firmly enclosed treasure: release its bounty.

7.27.3 Indra rules moving creatures and men and all that takes diverse forms upon earth;then he gives treasures to the giver and urges reward near when praised.

7.27.4 Even now generous Indra, called for help, guides the prize toward us with his gift;his unstinting generosity swells with good things for the men, his dear companions.

7.27.5 Make space for our wealth now, Indra; let us turn your heart toward gifts;may we enjoy cows, horses, and chariots; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.28 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.28.1 Come near our prayer, Indra, knowing it; let your yoked bays turn toward us;all mortals call to you in many places: hear our every wish, you who fill all.

7.28.2 Your greatness has answered the call, Indra, when you guard men's prayer, mighty one;when you grasp the mace in your hand, fierce one, you are born invincible in wisdom.

7.28.3 At your guidance, Indra, when you brought together the calling men, not even both worlds contained them;you were born for great rule and power, and swiftly crushed even the swift pursuer.

7.28.4 On these days show us favor, Indra, for the dwellings of false friends are perishing;when guiltless Varuna sees the lie, let him drive the deceiver from us.

7.28.5 Let us speak of this generous Indra, who has given us great wealth and reward,who best helps the singer making prayers; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.29 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.29.2 Hero of prayer, loving the work of prayer, come swiftly with your bays;rejoice in this pressing now and listen to these prayers of ours.

7.29.3 How can our hymns satisfy you? When may we at last bring you gifts, generous one?I have stretched out every thought toward you; now hear my invocation, Indra.

7.29.4 You heard the many ancient seers of old;and now I call to you, generous one: be our wise counselor, Indra, like a father.

7.29.5 Let us speak of this generous Indra, who has given us great wealth and reward,who best helps the singer making prayers; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.30 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.30.1 Come to us in strength, powerful god; make this wealth grow, Indra,for great manly force, lord of men, holder of the fine mace, for great dominion and valor.

7.30.2 They call you to the offering, heroes of many voices, striving to win the sun;you are the army among all peoples: subdue the Vritras, easy to slay.

7.30.3 When good days dawned, Indra, and you raised your unsurpassed banner in conflict,Agni sat down like a lordly priest, calling the gods here for happiness.

7.30.4 For us and those who praise you, divine Indra, hero, and give bounties,grant an incomparable defense to patrons; let those born of themselves reach old age.

7.30.5 Let us speak of this generous Indra, who has given us great wealth and reward,who best helps the singer making prayers; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.31 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri; Viraj (verses 10–12).

7.31.1 Sing your gladdening song to Indra of the bay horses,friends, to the soma-drinker.

7.31.2 May he praise the hymn, generous one, and our luminous song, which we menhave made for the one whose gifts are true.

7.31.3 You seek the prize for us, Indra, you seek cattle, hundred-powered one;you seek gold, bountiful one.

7.31.4 We who long for you cry out to you, Indra, bull;know this about us, bountiful one.

7.31.5 Do not surrender us to reproach or hostile speech, to the ungiving enemy;in you rests my purpose.

7.31.6 You are a broad-spread armor and our front-line fighter, Vritra-slayer;with you as ally I answer back.

7.31.7 You are great, Indra, before whose self-sustaining strengththe two worlds bow low.

7.31.8 Let the Maruts' song enfold you, traveling beside you,reaching you together with the days.

7.31.9 May the upright drops find you in heaven, wondrous one;let the peoples bow down to you.

7.31.10 Bring your thought to the great one who makes greatness grow; offer goodwill to the wise one;go forth among the many peoples, protector of men.

7.31.11 For Indra of far reach and greatness the singers create fine hymns;the wise do not transgress his ordinances.

7.31.12 Songs set Indra, whose anger is not checked, as their true king to stand beside them;magnify the bay-horsed one with swelling praise.

Hymn 7.32 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna; Shakti Vasishtha (verse 26 or its first half, according to variant traditions).

7.32.1 Do not let even singers hold you far from us;come from afar to share our feast, or if here, listen close.

7.32.2 For these makers of hymns sit beside your pressing like flies upon honey;the singers seeking riches have set their longing on Indra as feet upon a chariot.

7.32.3 Desiring wealth, I call the mace-handed, generous giver as a son calls his father.

7.32.4 These somas mixed with curds are pressed for Indra;come home on your two bays, mace-handed one, to drink them in delight.

7.32.5 His listening ear hears and seeks wealth; even now he will not disregard our songs;at once he gives hundreds and thousands, and no one diminishes his will to give.

7.32.6 Unopposed, that hero grows strong with Indra and his men,who presses for you at profound pressings, Vritra-slayer, and hastens here.

7.32.7 Be a defense for generous men, generous one, when you enter the battle line;let us share the gain of the one you struck; bring us an unassailable home.

7.32.8 Press soma for the soma-drinker, for mace-bearing Indra;cook the food, prepare your help: giving joy comes to the giver of joy.

7.32.9 Do not go astray, soma-pressers; labor skillfully for the growth of great wealth;the one who crosses wins, dwells, and thrives; the gods do not aid the idle.

7.32.10 No one surrounded or stopped the chariot of Sudas,whose helper is Indra and whose helpers are the Maruts: he enters a fold rich in cows.

7.32.11 The man whom you protect, Indra, seeks a prize and will win it;be the guardian of our chariots, guardian of our men, hero.

7.32.12 His share rises high like the wealth of a victor;no enemies overcome him whose god is bay-horsed Indra; he puts strength into the soma-presser.

7.32.13 Place among the worshipers a firm, well-fashioned, beautiful hymn;not even many snares overpower the man who works for Indra.

7.32.14 Who, Indra, among mortals could dare oppose one sheltered by you?With trust in you, generous one, the racer seeks the prize in the decisive contest.

7.32.15 Urge on the generous, who give dear treasures, in battles with Vritra;by your leading, bay-horsed one, with patrons may we cross every hardship.

7.32.16 The nearest treasure is yours, Indra; you nourish the middle one;you truly rule the highest treasure of all: none surpasses you in cows.

7.32.17 You are famed as giver of all wealth for which battles are fought;every earthly man seeking help begs for your name, much-invoked one.

7.32.18 If I could rule as much as you, Indra,I would cherish the singer, generous one, and never hand him over to evil.

7.32.19 I would gladly give each day to my exalter, wherever I found wealth;there is no better friend than you, generous one, not even a father.

7.32.20 The one who crosses seeks the prize with abundant insight as his ally;I bend you toward us, much-invoked Indra, with song, as a carpenter bends a sound wheel.

7.32.21 A mortal does not find treasure by poor praise; wealth does not come to one who fails;let my power of song be for you, generous one, and let your gift be mine in the decisive contest.

7.32.22 We low to you, hero, like cows not yet milked,lord of all that moves and sees the sun, lord of all that stands, Indra.

7.32.23 None like you in heaven or on earth has been born or will be born;we call to you, generous Indra, longing for swift horses and cattle.

7.32.24 Bring us that share, Indra, greater than the lesser;for you are rich in manifold treasure from ancient times, generous one, invoked in every battle.

7.32.25 Drive away the foes, generous one; make us possessors of goodly wealth;guard us in the great contest, strengthen your companions.

7.32.26 Bring us wisdom, Indra, as a father gives to his sons;teach us on this journey, much-invoked one, that living we may reach the light.

7.32.27 Let not unknown dangers, evil plots, and ill-omened things overtake us;with you, hero, we cross the ever-sloping waters.

Hymn 7.33 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna (verses 1–9); sons of Vasishtha (verses 10–14). Deity: sons of Vasishtha or Indra (verses 1–9); Vasishtha (verses 10–14). Meter: Trishtubh.

7.33.1 The white-robed men with braided hair on the right, quickening thought, have filled me with joy;I stood and spoke to the men on the grass: Vasishthas, you have not come from far to save me.

7.33.2 From afar they brought Indra to the pressed soma, past Vaishanta, past the fierce one drinking;Indra chose the Vasishthas over the pressed soma of Pashadyumna Vayata.

7.33.3 With them indeed he crossed the Sindhu; with them indeed he struck Bheda;with your prayer Indra saved Sudas in the battle of the ten kings, Vasishthas.

7.33.4 Men, favored by your fathers' prayers, you do not suffer harm, axle unbroken;for with the mighty cry in the Shakvari songs you set strength in Indra, Vasishthas.

7.33.5 Like thirsty men looking skyward, the chosen ones contemplated the battle of ten kings;Indra heard Vasishtha singing and made broad space for the Tritsus.

7.33.6 Like staves driving cattle were the small Bharatas, encircled;Vasishtha came as their leader; then the tribes of the Tritsus spread abroad.

7.33.7 Three put seed into the worlds, three Arya offspring whose first is light;three heated vessels attend the dawn; the Vasishthas know all of these.

7.33.8 Their growth is like the sun's radiance, their greatness deep as the ocean,their rushing like the wind: no other's song can match yours, Vasishthas.

7.33.9 By signs of the heart they move toward the thousand-branched secret;weaving the boundary stretched by Yama, the Vasishthas sat beside the Apsaras.

7.33.10 When Mitra and Varuna saw you arise around the light of lightning,that was one birth of yours, Vasishtha; another when Agastya brought you to the people.

7.33.11 You are also the son of Mitra and Varuna, Vasishtha, born from Urvashi's mind, priest;when the drop was spilled, all the gods placed you by divine prayer in a lotus.

7.33.12 Knowing the sign of both worlds, giver of thousands or forever giving,Vasishtha was born from the Apsaras, to weave the boundary stretched by Yama.

7.33.13 At the session the two, impelled by reverence, poured their common seed into a jar;from its midst Mana arose; from it, they say, Vasishtha the seer was born.

7.33.14 He carries the recitation and the song; holding the pressing stone, he speaks first;come to him with kind hearts: Vasishtha, who opens the way, comes to you.

7.34.3 Let the broad waters swell for him; mighty heroes rejoice in battles with Vritra.

7.34.4 Yoke horses for him, like mace-bearing Indra with golden arms.

7.34.5 Set our sacrifice in motion as one sets out, as a flyer speeds upon his way.

7.34.6 By yourself propel the sacrifice in battle; raise a heroic beacon for the people.

7.34.7 From his strength his light rises like the sun; the earth bears his weight like ground itself.

7.34.8 I call the gods, Agni, not by magic; I frame the thought in accord with Truth.

7.34.9 Embrace divine thought; bring forth your speech among the gods.

7.34.10 Fierce thousand-eyed Varuna watches the courses of these rivers.

7.34.11 King of domains, adornment of rivers, grant him unvanquished, life-giving power.

7.34.12 Help us among all the peoples; make the slanderer's cry powerless.

7.34.13 Let hostile, harmful lightning pass us by; fend off the waters from our bodies on every side.

7.34.14 Agni favored our oblations and reverence; to him we have dedicated our dearest song.

7.34.15 With the gods, make the Child of Waters your friend; let him be gracious to us.

7.34.16 With hymns I praise Ahi, born of waters, seated in the depths of rivers and spaces.

7.34.17 Let not Ahi Budhnya give us up to harm; let not this sacrifice of Truth's devotee fail.

7.34.18 Let them set fame upon these men of ours; let our bold allies advance toward wealth.

7.34.19 Their great armies with their forces burn the enemy like the sun over earth.

7.34.20 When the wives come toward us, let skilled-handed Tvashtar grant us heroes.

7.34.21 Let Tvashtar welcome our song; let Aramati, longing for wealth, be ours.

7.34.22 Let the two worlds give us treasures that bring gifts, and let Varunani hear us;let the protectresses give us safe shelter and bountiful Tvashtar distribute riches.

7.34.23 Let the mountains, waters, gift-bearing plants and heaven grant us that wealth;let earth in accord with her trees and both worlds guard us all around.

7.34.24 Let both broad worlds follow it, and radiant Varuna, Indra's friend;and all the strong Maruts: may we find wealth as a foundation for thought.

7.34.25 Let Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Agni, waters, plants and trees favor us;let us be sheltered in the Maruts' lap; always guard us with blessings.

7.35.9 May Aditi bring peace through her ordinances, the Maruts peace with their brilliant songs;peace from Vishnu and from Pushan, peace from what is to come and from Vayu.

7.35.10 May god Savitar protect us in peace; let the shining dawns bring peace;Parjanya bring peace to our children; the lord of the field be gracious and bring peace.

7.35.15 The gods worthy of sacrifice among the worthy, Manu's deathless worshipful ones who know Truth:let them give us wide-ranging freedom today; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.36 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.36.1 Let prayer go forth from the seat of Truth; Surya released his cattle with rays;the broad earth spread beyond its ridge; Agni put on his wide face.

7.36.2 I make this new fine song for you, mighty Mitra and Varuna, like food;one of you is an unassailable lord of the paths, while Mitra guides the people with his word.

7.36.3 The racing wind goes to its joy, and the streams swell like milch cows;born in the seat of high heaven, the bull cried in every udder.

7.36.4 Indra, I sing to harness your beloved bay horses, hero, with their splendid chariot;let us turn toward wise Aryaman, who thwarts the anger of the wrathful.

7.36.5 Worshipers seek his friendship and his youth with reverence in the dwelling of Truth;praised among men, he drives away want: this most dear reverence goes to Rudra.

7.36.6 Let Sarasvati, seventh, mother of rivers, come with those who long together for glory,those sweetly flowing, abundantly milking streams, swelling with their own milk.

7.36.7 May the Maruts, delighted, strong, protect our thoughts and offspring;let not the wandering, imperishable ones pass us by: increase our allied wealth.

7.36.8 Praise great Aramati and Pushan, like a hero at assembly,and Bhaga, guardian of our thought, and gift-bearing Purandhi at the winning of prizes.

7.37.2 You set the unspoiled treasure among the generous, sun-seeing Ribhus;drink together at sacrifices, self-possessed ones, and divide rewards among us through our songs.

7.37.3 You spoke, generous one, of a gift in dividing great and little treasure;your hands are full of wealth, and fair speech does not hinder your generosity.

7.37.4 You, Indra, famed in yourself, lord of the Ribhus, go home like a prize-winning singer;let us, your givers, be the Vasishthas who make prayers, bay-horsed one.

7.37.5 You win the prize even for a giver, bay-horsed one, by thoughts with which you enter;come with allied aids, and when will you grant us wealth, Indra?

7.37.6 As though you clothed the seers, so clothe us: when will you heed our words, Indra?With our thought directed home, let the swift horse draw brave riches and nourishment toward us.

7.37.7 Even divine Nirriti gains mastery over one who meets Indra in years of abundant food;old age approaches with triple bond a man whom mortals make homeless.

7.37.8 Bring us gifts, Savitar, worthy of praise, and let the mountain's riches come to us;let heaven's guardian ever attend us; always guard us with blessings.

7.38.4 Divine Aditi praises him, delighting in the impulse of god Savitar;sovereign Varuna praises him, as do Mitra and Aryaman together.

7.38.5 They who together win the gifts of heaven and gift-bearing earth, overcoming one another:let Ahi Budhnya hear us, and the protecting goddess guard us with her own cows.

7.38.6 Let the household lord heed us, seeking the treasure of god Savitar;the powerful calls Bhaga for help, and the powerless comes to Bhaga for treasure.

7.38.7 Let the racers with radiant hymns, swift-running at our divine invocations, bring us peace,crushing serpent, wolf and demons, and forever driving illness away from us.

7.39.3 Gods, Vasus, delight here on earth and cleanse yourselves in the wide midair;make your path toward us broad and clear; hear this messenger of ours who has come.

7.39.7 Now may the two worlds, praised by the Vasishthas, and Varuna, Mitra and Agni, true to Truth,grant us their beautiful unsurpassed brightness; always guard us with blessings.

7.55.1 Lord of the Dwelling, banisher of illness, entering all forms,be our kindly friend.

7.55.2 When, white hound of Sarama, your tawny teeth gleam,and your fangs flash as you growl, sleep, sleep now.

7.55.3 Chase the thief, son of Sarama, and chase the robber again;why bark at Indra's singers, why snarl at us? Sleep, sleep now.

7.55.4 Bite the boar, and let the boar bite you;why bark at Indra's singers, why snarl at us? Sleep, sleep now.

7.55.5 Let mother sleep, let father sleep, dog sleep, and household lord sleep;let all kinspeople sleep, and all those people around us.

7.55.6 Whoever sits, walks, or watches us,we close their eyes, as we close this house.

7.55.7 With the thousand-horned bull that rose from the sea,with this mighty one we lull the people to sleep.

7.55.8 Women lying in courtyards, in wagons, and upon beds,and all women sweetly scented, all these we lull to sleep.

Hymn 7.56 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh; Dvipada Viraj (verses 1–11).

7.56.1 Who are these men, alike in their dwelling, sons of Rudra, so splendidly horsed?

7.56.2 No one knows their births; only they themselves know one another's birthplace.

7.56.3 They scatter with their own beauty; sounding like wind, they race like hawks.

7.56.4 The wise one has perceived these secrets, how Prishni carried the great udder.

7.56.5 Let that people be rich in heroes through the Maruts, ever victorious, growing in might.

7.56.6 Best to travel with, most splendid in beauty, mingled with splendor and fierce in power.

7.56.7 Your force is fierce and your powers firm; the Maruts' host is mighty.

7.56.8 Your strength shines, your minds are wrathful; the bold host roars like a seer.

7.56.9 Forever turn lightning away from us; let no ill thought of yours reach us here.

7.56.10 I invoke the dear names of you swift ones, when you, Maruts, come eager and satisfied.

7.56.11 Armed with your own weapons, impetuous and finely adorned, you beautify yourselves.

7.56.12 Pure Maruts, I send a pure rite to you, pure ones, with pure offerings;through Truth they came to truth, gaining Truth, born pure, cleansing and pure.

7.56.13 On your shoulders, Maruts, are rings; on your breasts rest golden ornaments;like lightning you shine with rain, carrying weapons according to your own nature.

7.56.14 Your great names rise from the depths; send them forth, worthy of worship;accept this thousandfold household share, Maruts, offered at the family fire.

7.56.15 If you heed the praised one's invocation, Maruts, the inspired competitor's call,quickly grant wealth and brave sons, even when another who gives nothing has angered you.

7.56.16 Swift as horses, these gracious Maruts shine like handsome young men to see;standing on high like bright children, playful like calves, they bring milk.

7.56.17 Giving gifts, let the Maruts be gentle to us, serving the well-matched two worlds;keep far from us your cattle-killing, man-killing weapon; Vasus, bow toward us with goodwill.

7.56.18 Our priest seated here calls you, praising enduring gifts, Maruts;our eager guardian, that generous bull, calls you with hymns, free of deceit.

7.56.19 These Maruts still the swift one, make power itself bend to their power;they protect us from the assailant's insult and lay heavy hostility upon the ungiving.

7.56.20 The Maruts spur on even a poor man, Vasus, and honor even one who roams;drive darkness away, bulls, and give us children and descendants of every kind.

7.56.21 Let us not be cut off from your gifts, Maruts, nor left behind in the division of the chariots;allot us a share in the desirable treasure that belongs to you, well-born bulls.

7.56.22 When people strike one another in anger, heroes among strong plants and tribes,be our protectors then, Rudra's sons, Maruts, in battles with enemies.

7.56.23 You have done many deeds of your father, Maruts, praised even in ancient hymns;with the Maruts the fierce one prevails in battle, and with the Maruts the racer wins his prize.

7.56.24 Let us have a powerful hero, Maruts, a lord among men who upholds us;through him may we cross the waters into secure dwelling and come near your own home.

7.56.25 Let Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Agni, waters, plants and trees favor us;let us be sheltered in the Maruts' lap; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.57 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.57.1 Your Marut name is sweet, worshipful ones; at sacrifices they rejoice in its power;they shake even the broad worlds and swell the spring as they pass in fury.

7.57.2 For you know the singer, Maruts, and guide the worshiper's thought;come today to sit on our grass in the assemblies and share our delight.

7.57.3 No others are like these Maruts, gleaming with ornaments, weapons and bodies;adorned in every hue across the worlds, together they anoint themselves with beauty.

7.57.4 Let your lightning stand apart from us, Maruts, if through human frailty we have wronged you;let us not suffer for that, worshipful ones; let your goodwill remain close to us.

7.57.5 Even in conflict here the Maruts delight, faultless, pure and cleansing;advance to help us with kind thoughts, worshipful ones, and with prizes bring us growth.

7.57.6 Praised Maruts, may all the men with all their names enjoy the offerings;give our children immortal life and awaken riches and gifts with lovely words.

7.57.7 Praised Maruts, come with every aid toward generous patrons in the great contest,who of themselves increase us by hundreds; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.58 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.58.1 Together praise the powerful host, mighty in its divine domain;by greatness they shake the two worlds and reach heaven, free from the line of ruin.

7.58.2 Even your birth, Maruts, was fierce; you are fearsome with mighty anger, tireless;you stand forth in great strength, and everyone who sees the sun fears your march.

7.58.3 Grant long life to generous patrons, Maruts, delighting in our fine praise;let the path open wide before the traveler, and let your precious aids carry us over.

7.58.4 With your aid the singer wins a hundred, Maruts; with your aid the horse conquers a thousand;with your aid the sovereign strikes Vritra: let that gift of yours rush forth.

7.58.5 I seek the favor of these generous sons of Rudra; will the Maruts smile on us again?Whatever hidden or open offense provoked them, we ask the swift ones to take it away.

7.58.6 Let this fine praise of generous men be spoken, and accept this hymn, Maruts;keep enmity far from us, bulls; always guard us with blessings.

7.59.1 The one you save, gods, and whom you lead,grant shelter to him, Agni, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman and Maruts.

7.59.2 He who sacrifices, dear to you, crosses his foes through your help, gods;he extends his home and abundant food, who offers to win your favor.

7.59.3 Vasishtha never thinks any of you least, Maruts;all of you eager ones drink beside our pressing today.

7.59.4 Your help never fails in battle, men, for one to whom you grant favor;let our newer kindly thought turn you toward us: come quickly, eager to drink.

7.59.5 Come soon to drink these draughts, masters of generous gifts;I offer these oblations to you, Maruts: do not go elsewhere.

7.59.6 Sit on our grass and grant us choice treasures for help;unfailing Maruts, rejoice here in the sweet soma at the cry of svaha.

7.59.7 Adorning their bodies, they flew down like swans with dark backs;let not the whole host surround me: may they rejoice like men at the pressing.

7.59.8 Whoever, Maruts, seeks to harm us, Vasus, with cunning, intent on murder,let him be caught in treachery's snares: strike him with your hottest blow.

7.59.9 Maruts who burn the wicked, welcome this offering,through your aid, destroyers of enemies.

7.59.10 Come to our household rites, Maruts; do not stay away,through your aid, generous givers.

7.59.11 Here and here I choose for sacrifice you, self-powered Maruts,sages with the skin of the sun.

7.59.12 We worship the three-eyed one, fragrant, who makes nourishment grow;like a cucumber from its stem, may I be released from death, not from immortality.

7.60.1 If today, rising Surya, you tell Mitra and Varuna truly that we are innocent,may we belong among the gods, Aditi, dear to you, singing Aryaman's praise.

7.60.2 This sun rises over both earths, Mitra and Varuna, watching men,guarding all that stands and moves, seeing what is straight and crooked among mortals.

7.60.3 He has yoked the seven tawny mares from their common seat, rich with ghee, who bear the sun;he sees the domains of you both, Mitra and Varuna, and all generations together like a herd.

7.60.4 Your honeyed nourishment rises; the sun has climbed the shining wave;for him the Adityas clear the paths, Mitra, Aryaman and Varuna together.

7.60.5 These, Mitra, Aryaman and Varuna, discern the vast falsehood;these gracious, unassailable sons of Aditi have enlarged Truth in their home.

7.60.6 Mitra and Varuna, impossible to deceive, enlighten even the unthinking with their skill;taking up wise purpose, they lead even through distress by a good path.

7.60.7 Watchful over heaven and earth, they guide one without understanding;even for the wanderer the rivers have a ford: let them bring us across this vast division.

7.60.8 In the gracious shelter that Aditi, Mitra and Varuna grant Sudas like herdsmen,let us establish child and descendant, swift ones, and never commit an offense against the gods.

7.60.9 The betrayer of Varuna may sacrifice at the altar with invocations;Aryaman turns away hatreds; bulls, make broad space for Sudas.

7.60.10 Their fierce conflict, even hidden, they overcome by secret force;in fear of you the bulls tremble: show mercy by your great wisdom.

7.60.11 He who worships a kind thought toward prayer for the winning of the prize and utmost riches:generous lords check their wrath and make broad, firm space in which to dwell.

7.60.12 This invocation was made for you both at the sacrifices, divine Mitra and Varuna;carry us beyond all dangers; always guard us with blessings.

7.61.3 Across broad earth and from lofty heaven, Mitra and Varuna, generous ones,you place watchers among plants and peoples, guarding each direction without a blink.

7.61.4 Praise the realm of Mitra and Varuna: their power in greatness binds the two worlds;months pass by for those who do not worship, without heroes; the inspired sacrificer crosses beyond evil.

7.61.5 Unbewildered bulls, all these are yours; among them no marvel or apparition has appeared.Deceits cling to untruthful men; your hidden ways have not escaped notice.

7.61.6 I magnify your sacrifice with reverence; I call you, Mitra and Varuna, in distress.I offer you new songs for praise; welcome these prayers I have made.

7.61.7 This invocation, gods Mitra and Varuna, has been made for you at the sacrifices.Carry us beyond every hardship; guard us always with well-being.

7.62.3 Let the truthful Varuna, Mitra and Agni open a thousand refuges for us.Let the shining ones grant us a place for our song, and, praised, fulfill our desire.

7.75.2 Awaken today for our great prosperity, Ushas; send us great good fortune.Set brilliant, glorious wealth among us, goddess among mortals, human, seeking renown.

7.75.3 Here have come those deathless, splendid beams of Dawn, beautiful to behold,giving birth to divine ordinances and spreading across the spaces of air.

7.75.4 She is harnessed and travels instantly around the five human settlements from afar,observing the ways of people, heaven's daughter, mistress of the world.

7.75.7 True among the true, great among the great, goddess among gods, worthy among the worthy,she breaks the strongholds and gives the cows; the cattle low toward Ushas.

7.76.1 Immortal light for all humankind has risen: Savitar, god of all men.By the gods' design the eye was born; Ushas revealed the entire world.

7.76.2 The gods' paths appeared to me, unbroken, adorned with riches.Dawn's beacon arose before us; she came facing us above the houses.

7.76.3 Many were the days that came before the rising of Surya,when Ushas walked about like a lover, seen as she went, never to return.

7.76.4 Those ancient, truth-keeping seers shared the gods' feasts.The fathers found the hidden light; their words were true, and they gave birth to Dawn.

7.76.5 Gathered in a common wide place, they agree and do not contend.They do not break the ordinances of the gods, but travel unharmed with their riches.

7.76.6 The Vasishtas, waking with dawn, sing hymns of praise to you, blessed Ushas.Leader of cattle, mistress of prizes, shine for us, nobly born Ushas; be first to wake.

7.78.3 Those shining Dawns have appeared before us, giving light.They brought forth Surya, sacrifice and Agni; unwelcome darkness went away.

7.78.4 Heaven's generous daughter has appeared; all behold Dawn as she shines.She mounts her chariot, harnessed by her own nature, and well-yoked horses bear her.

7.79.3 Dawn is here, most like Indra, rich in bounty, bringing glories for our happiness.Heaven's divine daughter, like an Angirasa, bestows treasures on the righteous.

7.79.4 Grant us as much wealth, Ushas, as you have opened up for singers who praise you,when, born at the bull's roar, you unveiled the doors of the solid rock.

7.79.5 She rouses each god for giving, sending sweet words toward us.As you dawn, inspire our thoughts toward gain; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.82 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra and Varuna. Meter: Jagati.

7.82.1 Indra and Varuna, grant great shelter to our people for the sacrifice.As someone with long-standing hostility assails us, may we conquer hostile thoughts in battle.

7.82.2 One is called universal king, the other self-ruling king; you both are great, rich in bounty.All the gods in the highest heaven have joined your might and strength, mighty ones.

7.82.3 With strength you cut channels for the waters and set Surya, sovereign, in heaven.Indra and Varuna, in soma's rapture you filled dry streams and swelled prayers.

7.82.4 In fights and battles warriors look to you; in bringing peace, those who know their measure.We singers call you, Indra and Varuna, easy to summon, lords of wealth in both realms.

7.82.5 Indra and Varuna, when you made all the creatures of the world by your greatness,Mitra serves Varuna in peace, while the fierce other moves shining with the Maruts.

7.82.6 For Varuna's great tribute his brightness measures out strength: his own rule stands firm.The other strikes the stranger down; with the few, he overcomes the many.

7.82.7 No distress, wrong or suffering can touch the mortal, Indra and Varuna,whose sacrifice you visit and enjoy; no mortal's deceit can reach him.

7.82.8 Come near with divine help, heroes; hear my call if it has pleased you.Give us your friendship and kinship, Indra and Varuna, and your mercy.

7.82.9 Indra and Varuna, be our champions in each struggle, with strength among the peoples,when both parties call on you in strife to win children and descendants.

7.82.10 May Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman grant us glory and vast shelter.We honor Aditi's unconquerable light and the god Savitar's song, which furthers Truth.

Hymn 7.83 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra and Varuna. Meter: Jagati.

7.83.1 Looking to your alliance, broad-shouldered men went forward seeking cattle.You struck Dasas and Vritras, and Aryas too; Indra and Varuna, you aided Sudas.

7.83.2 Where men gather with banners raised, and something cherished is at stake in battle,where all the worlds that see the sun tremble, speak for us there, Indra and Varuna.

7.83.3 Earth's borders seemed to shake; a roar rose to heaven, Indra and Varuna.My enemies drew near among the peoples; come toward us with aid, hear our call.

7.83.4 Indra and Varuna, with irresistible weapons you won the crossing and protected Sudas.Hear their prayers when called; the priesthood of the Tritsus proved true.

7.83.5 Indra and Varuna, hostile rivals torment me with threats and assaults.For you rule the riches of both worlds; protect us on the decisive day.

7.83.6 Both sides call on you in battle, Indra and Varuna, seeking wealth.When ten kings surrounded Sudas, you saved him and the Tritsus.

7.83.7 Ten kings allied, without sacrifice, could not defeat Sudas, Indra and Varuna.The praise of men seated at the meal was true; gods answered their calls to the gods.

7.83.8 On all sides of the battle of ten kings you gave Sudas help, Indra and Varuna,where the white-clad, topknotted Tritsus, wise with prayers, rushed into the fight.

7.83.9 One strikes Vritras in battle; the other forever guards the ordinances.We call you mighty ones with lovely hymns; Indra and Varuna, grant us shelter.

7.83.10 May Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman grant us glory and vast shelter.We honor Aditi's unconquerable light and the god Savitar's song, which furthers Truth.

Hymn 7.84 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.84.1 I call you kings to our sacrifice with offerings and reverence, Indra and Varuna.The ghee-bearing ladle travels round in many forms, holding gifts out in its arms.

7.84.2 Your great dominion fills heaven; without ropes you bound it with bridges.May we escape Varuna's wrath; may Indra open a wide world for us.

7.84.3 Make our sacrifice beautiful in the assemblies, our prayers renowned among patrons.Let god-sent riches approach us; lift us up with your precious protection.

7.84.4 Indra and Varuna, set with us wealth desirable to all, rich in treasure and food.The Aditya destroys falsehood; the hero freely distributes boundless riches.

7.84.5 This song of mine has reached Indra and Varuna, urging aid for our children and offspring.Rich in jewels, may we reach the feast of gods; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.85 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.85.1 I purify my demon-free thought for you, pouring soma for Indra and Varuna,bright-faced like divine Dawn; guard us nearby upon our journey.

7.85.2 They contend at the gods' summons, where arrows fly among the banners.Strike these enemies, Indra and Varuna, scattered far and wide with your shafts.

7.85.3 Even the self-glorious divine waters set Indra and Varuna among the gods in their assembly.One sustains scattered peoples; the other slays invincible Vritras.

7.85.4 Let that priest be wise in Truth, Aditya, who with reverence and strengthbrings you offerings and calls for aid; may he gain prosperity and abundance.

7.85.5 This song of mine has reached Indra and Varuna, urging aid for our children and offspring.Rich in jewels, may we reach the feast of gods; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.86 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.86.1 Wise men discern his greatness, who propped apart even broad Heaven and Earth;he drove the high, vast firmament aloft and spread the stars and earth twofold.

7.86.2 I speak with my own heart: When shall I dwell within Varuna's favor?Will he accept my oblation without anger? When will I see his mercy and goodwill?

7.86.3 Wanting to know my offense, Varuna, I approach and question those who understand.Even the seers say the same thing to me: “Varuna is angry with you.”

7.86.4 What was my greatest crime, Varuna, that you wish to kill your friend and singer?Tell me, unconquerable lord; I will hasten to you in humble reverence, freed of guilt.

7.86.5 Release us from our fathers' wrongs and those we ourselves have committed.Release Vasishta, king, like a thief who has taken cattle, like a calf from its tether.

7.86.6 It was not our own will, Varuna: it was deception, drink, anger, dice, unthinking folly.The elder is near to lead the younger astray; even a dream incites falsehood.

7.86.7 Let me serve the bountiful god as a servant, free of guilt, eager to act.The noble god has enlightened the unknowing; the wisest poet spurs the wise toward riches.

7.86.8 Let this hymn, Varuna, self-governed lord, rest close upon your heart.May we have peace at home and on the road; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.87 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.87.1 Varuna cut a path for Surya and for the sea-swollen rivers.Like a released torrent he made great channels flow for days in accordance with Truth.

7.87.2 The wind is your breath, blowing across the expanse like a swift beast seeking pasture.Within these vast Heaven and Earth are all your beloved dwelling places, Varuna.

7.87.3 Varuna's watchmen, sent abroad, survey both fair realms of Heaven and Earth.They are seers faithful to Truth, wise in sacrifice, who inspire thought.

7.87.4 Varuna told me, his wise one: “The cow bears thrice seven names.”Knowing the secret of her place, the poet spoke it to instruct a later age.

7.87.5 Three heavens rest within him, three earths beneath them in six divisions.Wise King Varuna has set this golden swing in heaven for beauty.

7.87.6 Varuna stands above the river like the sky, white as a drop, a powerful beast.Deep is his counsel; he measures the expanse, the true king whose rule bears us across.

7.87.7 May we be guiltless before Varuna, who shows mercy even to the wrongdoer.Let us prosper under Aditi's ordinances; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.88 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Varuna; verse 7 releases from bonds. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.88.1 Vasishta, bring your purest, dearest thought to bountiful Varuna,who draws near the great worshipful bull of a thousand gifts.

7.88.2 Now that I have come into his sight, I think on Varuna's face like Agni's.When the protector over the bright stone sends the draught, may he draw his beauty before my eyes.

7.88.3 When Varuna and I boarded the boat and steered into the middle of the sea,when we rode upon the crests of waters, we swung upon the swing for beauty.

7.88.4 Varuna placed Vasishta upon the boat; with his great powers he made him a seer,a singer and poet in the happy days while the heavens stretched out the Dawns.

7.88.5 Where have our friendships gone, when once we traveled together unharmed?We entered your vast, thousand-doored house, self-governed Varuna.

7.88.6 Your faithful, beloved friend, Varuna, has committed offenses against you.Let us not, guilty, taste your anger, lord; grant shelter to your singer, wise one.

7.88.7 As we dwell in these steadfast homes, let Varuna loosen the snare from us.May we win protection in Aditi's lap; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.89 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Gayatri; verse 5 Jagati.

7.89.2 When I stagger like an inflated skin, lord of the stone,have mercy, lord of good dominion, have mercy.

7.89.3 Through weakness of will I have turned against the light;have mercy, lord of good dominion, have mercy.

7.89.4 Standing amid waters, thirst has found your singer;have mercy, lord of good dominion, have mercy.

7.89.5 Whatever wrong we humans commit against the divine people, Varuna,whatever ordinances of yours we have broken through ignorance, do not destroy us for that sin, god.

7.90.5 Their minds set on Truth, shining, yoked by their own insight, they carryyour hero-bearing chariot, Indra and Vayu; refreshment attends you, lords.

7.90.6 May the patrons who govern sunlight, cattle, horses, riches and gold,Indra and Vayu, with steeds and heroes prevail in battles throughout their lives.

7.98.3 At birth you drank soma for strength; your mother foretold your greatness.Indra, you expanded across the broad midair and opened space for the gods by battle.

7.98.4 When we fight those who think themselves mighty, laying them low with our arms,or when you fight surrounded by heroes, Indra, through you may we win a famous victory.

7.100.2 Vishnu, ever-striding one, give us gracious favor for all people, unfailing insight,that we may gain abundant happiness and wealth in horses and manifold brilliance.

7.100.3 This god has strode three times across the earth, hundred-rayed in his greatness.May powerful Vishnu be stronger still; fierce is the name of this ancient one.

7.100.4 Vishnu strode across this earth to give mankind a place to live.His praising peoples are secure; he made a broad dwelling, nobly born.

7.100.5 Today I proclaim your name, radiant Vishnu, as an Arya who knows your ways.I praise you, mighty beyond reach, dwelling in the farthest realm.

7.100.6 Why, Vishnu, should this declaration of yours be questioned: “I am the radiant one”?Do not hide this form from us when you take another shape in battle.

7.100.7 I cry the offering word for you, Vishnu; accept my oblation, radiant one.Let my songs of praise magnify you; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.101 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni, desiring rain, or Kumara Agneya. Deity: Parjanya. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.101.1 Speak the three words headed by light that milk this honey-yielding udder.Making a calf, placing seed within plants, the newborn bull bellows aloud.

7.101.2 He who makes plants and waters grow, the god who rules the whole moving world,may he grant us threefold refuge and shelter and thrice-turning light for our welfare.

7.101.3 One creature is barren, another gives birth through you; he shapes his body at will.The mother receives the father's milk, and by it the father and son grow strong.

7.101.4 Within him all worlds stand; three heavens, three ways, the waters flow.Three vessels pouring sweetness drip on every side of the mighty one.

7.101.5 Let this word to self-ruling Parjanya rest in his heart; may he welcome it.Let rain bring joy to us, and fruit-laden plants be guarded by the gods.

7.101.6 He is the bull, giver of seed to enduring creatures; in him is the life of moving and still.May that Truth preserve me for a hundred autumns; guard us always with well-being.

Hymn 7.102 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni, desiring rain, or Kumara Agneya. Deity: Parjanya. Meter: Gayatri; verse 2 Pada-nichrit.

7.102.1 Sing to Parjanya, heaven's son, generous giver;let him provide pasture for us.

7.102.2 Parjanya places seed in plants, in cattle and horses,and in women.

7.102.3 Pour into his mouth the sweetest offering;let him make our refreshment plentiful.

Hymn 7.103 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: the frogs, with Parjanya. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 1 Anushtubh.

7.103.1 Like priests observing vows, who have lain quiet for a year,the frogs have voiced their speech, stirred by Parjanya.

7.103.2 When heavenly waters reached the one lying in the lake like a dry leather skin,the frogs' voices came together like the lowing of cows with calves.

7.103.3 When rain falls on them longing and thirsty as the rainy season comes,one approaches another croaking, as a son calls to his father.

7.103.4 One embraces another as they rejoice at the rush of waters.As the frog sings beneath the rain, the spotted one joins his voice with the green one.

7.103.5 When one repeats another's voice like a pupil learning from a teacher,all their limbs seem to flourish as you speak well together on the waters.

7.103.6 One lows like a cow, one bleats like a goat; one is spotted, one is green.Though bearing a common name, they are differently shaped and color their many voices.

7.103.7 Like priests around a full soma-bowl at the overnight rite, calling out,you frogs surround that day of the year when the rains begin.

7.103.8 Like soma-priests the brahmins raise their voices, making yearly prayer.Like sweating priests at the hot offering, they emerge from hiding.

7.103.9 They have kept the divine order of the twelve-month year, not neglecting its season.When rains return after a year, the heated offering finds release.

7.103.10 The cow-voiced gives, the goat-voiced gives; the spotted, the green give riches.Frogs that give hundreds of cattle lengthen our lives at the thousandfold pressing.

Hymn 7.104 — Seer: Vasishta Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra and Soma, with individual addresses to Indra, Soma, Agni, the gods, pressing stones and Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 2, 21 and 23 Jagati; verse 25 Anushtubh.

7.104.1 Indra and Soma, scorch the demon, cast the darkness-feeders down, mighty ones.Tear apart the senseless, burn them; strike, repel and crush the devourers.

7.104.2 Indra and Soma, make a fiery cauldron blaze against the wicked speaker, the sinner;bring undying hatred on the enemy of prayer, flesh-eater with savage eyes, the nameless spirit.

7.104.3 Indra and Soma, hurl the evil workers into a pit, into bottomless darkness,so none may rise again from there; let your angry strength prevail.

7.104.4 Indra and Soma, turn heaven's weapon against the evildoer and strike from earth;sharpen it from the mountains of the sun, to crush the growing demon.

7.104.5 Indra and Soma, fling your fire-heated crushing stones from heaven;with blazing, ageless weapons pierce the devourers, so they sink speechless.

7.104.6 May this thought encircle you on every side like a girth around a racing horse.I offer my prayer to you for wisdom; enliven these hymns like lords of men.

7.104.7 Remember us with swift help; strike the treacherous, brittle demons.Indra and Soma, let no evil worker who attacks us deceitfully ever find an easy path.

7.104.8 Whoever calls me a liar with false words while I act with innocent mind,let that speaker of untruth come to nothing, Indra, like water cupped in the hand.

7.104.9 Those who harm the innocent with violent acts, who defile the good,let Soma give them to the serpent or place them in the lap of destruction.

7.104.10 Who plots to steal our drink or food, Agni, our horses, cattle or our bodies,let the thieving robber dwindle, cut down in body and descendants.

7.104.11 Let him be cast far away with his body and descendants, beneath all three earths;let his fame dry up, gods, who attacks us by day or night.

7.104.12 For one who understands, truth and falsehood in speech are easily distinguished when they contend.Soma protects whichever is true and straighter; he strikes the false.

7.104.13 Soma never favors a crooked man or one who falsely asserts authority.He strikes the demon and the false speaker; both lie in Indra's snare.

7.104.14 If I have worshiped false gods, Agni, or in vain accused the gods,why are you angry with us, all-knowing one? Let the deceitful speakers go to ruin.

7.104.15 Let me die today if I am a sorcerer, if I have burned a man's life-breath;let him be parted from ten heroes who falsely calls me a sorcerer.

7.104.16 Whoever calls me a sorcerer, though I am no sorcerer, or says, “I am pure,” though he is a demon,let Indra strike him with his great weapon; let him sink beneath every living creature.

7.104.17 She who flies like an owl at night, hiding her body in deceit,let her fall into bottomless pits; let the pressing stones crush the demons with their cries.

7.104.18 Spread out among the peoples, Maruts; seek out, seize and crush the demons,those who fly at night in bird-shape or offer treachery at the divine sacrifice.

7.104.19 Launch heaven's stone, Indra; sharpen it, generous one, whetted with soma.Strike the demons with this mountain from east and west, south and north.

7.104.20 Those swift fliers are flying here, plotting against invincible Indra.Shakra sharpens his weapon against the accusers; now let him loose the thunderbolt on sorcerers.

7.104.21 Indra has become destroyer of sorcerers and of those who steal offerings and assail us.Shakra comes against the demons like an ax through the forest, shattering them like pots.

7.104.22 Strike down the owl-witch and little-owl-witch, the dog-witch and cuckoo-witch,the eagle-witch and vulture-witch; crush the demon like a millstone, Indra.

7.104.23 Let no demon, no sorcerer overpower us; let the pair of evil spirits flee.May Earth guard us from earthly distress and the midair guard us from heavenly distress.

7.104.24 Indra, strike the male sorcerer and the woman who works harm by magic.Let their necks be broken and their mad gods perish; let them not see your rising sun.

7.104.25 Look closely, look all around, Indra and Soma; stay awake.Hurl your weapon against demons, your thunderbolt against sorcerers.

Hymn 8.1 — Seers: Pragatha Kanva, verses 1–2; Medhatithi and Medhyatithi Kanva, verses 3–29; Asanga Playogi, verses 30–33; Shashvati Angirasi, verse 34.

8.1.1 Friends, praise no other; do not let yourselves be harmed.Praise Indra, the mighty bull, at the pressing, and repeatedly proclaim his hymns.

8.1.2 Strong-jawed, a bull vigorous as a bull, overcoming people like a cow,he defeats hostility, wins affection, terrifies both sides and gives most generously to both.

8.1.3 Though these people summon you from many places for aid,may this prayer of ours, Indra, increase you every day.

8.1.4 Wise men and alien peoples vie with each other, generous lord, among the nations.Come close; bring manifold forms and the nearest prize for our help.

8.1.5 I would not give you away, lord of the stone, for a great price:not for a thousand, nor ten thousand, nor a hundred, mace-bearer of a hundred gifts.

8.1.6 You are dearer to me, Indra, than father or unhelpful brother.You and my mother alike shelter me, rich one, in the gift of wealth.

8.1.7 Where have you gone? Where are you? Your mind wanders far indeed.Come here, fighter, breaker of obstacles and cities; the Gayatri songs have been sung.

8.1.8 Sing the Gayatri hymn to him, beloved destroyer of cities;let the mace-bearer who breaks strongholds sit upon Kanva's ritual grass.

8.1.9 With your teams of ten, teams of a hundred, teams of a thousand,your swift-running vigorous horses, hasten to us now.

8.1.10 Today I call upon you, the abundant milch cow shaped by Gayatri:Indra, another source of nourishment, a generous cow with broad-flowing streams.

8.1.11 When Surya urged Etasha with the winged wind's swift bend,the lord of a hundred powers carried Arjuneya Kutsa and overtook the invincible Gandharva.

8.1.12 Even before the breaking of necks, without a binding,the generous lord of many treasures makes bonds and restores what is broken.

8.1.13 Indra, let us not become like those cast away from you, like estranged kin,like abandoned forests, lord of the stone, difficult places to inhabit.

8.1.14 We have thought ourselves helpless and powerless, Vritra-slayer;just once, hero, let our praise rejoice in your great gift.

8.1.15 If Indra should hear my hymn, let these drops of ours,swiftly flowing through the filter, delight the one who strengthened Tugra's son.

8.1.16 Come today, friend, to our shared praise, beloved one;let the generous men's homage reach you, and then I shall desire your finest hymn.

8.1.17 Press soma with stones; wash it in waters;men clothe it in milk like a garment and draw it from the vessels.

8.1.18 Whether from earth or from heaven's vast shining height,grow through this song of mine, wise one, and fill all beings with your body.

8.1.19 Press the sweetest, choicest soma for Indra.Let Shakra swell it through all thought as one urging a prizewinning steed.

8.1.20 May I not always beg you with words from craving for soma;I may anger you at the pressings like a restless beast, but who would not beg a lord?

8.1.21 The fierce rapture stirred by rapture, fierce in might,that conquers everyone and pours out exhilaration—he gives to us in rapture.

8.1.22 The god gives many precious things to a generous mortal,to the one who presses and sings, praised by all and unimpaired.

8.1.23 Come, Indra, rejoice, god, in your wondrous bounty;fill your wide belly with soma at our shared drinking, like a lake.

8.1.24 Let a thousand, a hundred bay horses with flowing manes,yoked to your golden chariot and to prayer, bear you here to drink soma, Indra.

8.1.25 Let your two bay horses with peacock-plumed tails and pale backscarry you in the golden chariot to drink the rich sweet draught.

8.1.26 Drink this pressed soma, lover of song, as the first drinker;this prepared, savory pressing is offered to delight you.

8.1.27 He alone is great in deeds, fierce in his ordinances;let the strong-jawed one come: he never turns away from a call, no more than from a woman.

8.1.28 You crushed the roaming fortress of Shushna with your weapons;you followed the shining one, Indra, when you became twice invited.

8.1.29 At sunrise my hymns turned to you; at midday they turned to you;at day's close, in the evening shadows, they turned to you, rich lord.

8.1.30 Praise, praise: these are the most generous among the generous,whose horses are scorned, whose roadway runs to the farthest prize, Medhyatithi.

8.1.31 When in faith I mounted the chariot of the horse-winning man,I knew the loveliness of his wealth and the beasts he possessed.

8.1.32 He who gave me straight-running steeds along with golden trappings:let Asanga's resounding chariot surpass all good fortunes.

8.1.33 Asanga Playogi surpassed other Dasas, Agni, with ten thousand gifts;then ten bright oxen stood before me, like reeds rising from a lake.

8.1.34 She saw his stout member from the front, his boneless thigh hanging down;Shashvati the woman looked and said, “You bear a splendid organ, noble one.”

Hymn 8.2 — Seers: Medhatithi Kanva and Priyamedha Angirasa, verses 1–40; Medhatithi Kanva, verses 41–42. Deity: Indra; Vibindu, verses 41–42. Meter: Gayatri; verse 28 Anushtubh.

8.2.1 Drink this pressed draught, rich lord; fill your belly well.We have poured it out for you, fearless one.

8.2.2 Pressed by men and stones, purified through the sheep's fleece,it is like a horse washed clean in the rivers.

8.2.3 We made it sweet for you with milk, mixing it like barley;Indra, we call you to this shared feast.

8.2.4 Indra alone drinks soma, Indra drinks the pressing and lives forever,among gods and mortals alike.

8.2.5 Neither bright drink, nor badly mixed drink, nor filling draughtscan satisfy the broad-ranging one of good heart.

8.2.6 When others seek him with milk, like hunters after a wild beast,they rush toward him with their milch cows.

8.2.7 Let three soma pressings belong to divine Indra,in his own home, drinker of the pressing.

8.2.8 Three vessels stream forth, and three bowls brim fullat their common stand.

8.2.9 You are pure, seated among many, mixed midway with milk,and most delightful with curds to the hero.

8.2.10 These sharp somas pressed for you among us, Indra,bright ones, ask to be mixed with milk.

8.2.11 Mix them with milk and sacrificial cake, Indra, and mix this soma;for I hear you are rich in treasure.

8.2.12 Drunk in the heart, they fight like men mad with liquor;naked, they sing at the udder.

8.2.13 Let the singer of the wealthy and generous one himself be wealthy;let him advance, bay-horsed lord, toward renown.

8.2.14 The greedy one with no cattle recognizes neither the hymn being recitednor the Gayatri being sung.

8.2.15 Do not surrender us to the violent or proud, Indra;teach us by your powers, powerful one.

8.2.16 For this very purpose, Indra, seeking your friendship,we Kanvas sing hymns to you.

8.2.17 No other worker ever achieved your new work, mace-bearer;he knew your hymn alone.

8.2.18 The gods desire a soma-presser, not a sleeper;unwearying, they shun negligence.

8.2.19 Come to us with prizes; do not be angry with us,like a great man who has taken a young bride.

8.2.20 Do not, hard to restrain, remain far from us tonight,like a disagreeable son-in-law.

8.2.21 We know this hero's abundant, generous favor,the thoughts of him born in three places.

8.2.22 Pour in now for Kanva; we know no one stronger,more glorious than the one of a hundred protections.

8.2.23 Presser, bring soma to Indra, eldest,to Shakra the hero, the noble drinker.

8.2.24 He is readiest among the unfailing to give singers horses,and cattle-rich prizes to those who praise him.

8.2.25 Again and again, pressers, pour out soma for exhilaration,for the hero, for the mighty one.

8.2.26 Let the drinker, Vritra-slayer, come to the pressing, never far from us;he of a hundred protections will rest here.

8.2.27 Here let the two bay horses, yoked to prayer, bear our welcome friend,famed in songs, the lover of praise.

8.2.28 Come to these sweet somas, come to these mixed somas,strong-jawed one, lord of men, powerful one; come to our common feast.

8.2.29 The praises that glorify you, once sung, grow toward great wealth and strength,Indra, as they strengthen their maker.

8.2.30 The songs you bear, singer, and the hymns for you,have ever stored up strength.

8.2.31 Thus this great worker, alone with mace in hand, wins prizes;from ancient days he has ruled, unharmed.

8.2.32 Indra with his right hand kills Vritra, he who is much invoked;he is great through vast powers.

8.2.33 In him are all peoples and swift deeds and vigorous strength;they follow the rapture of the generous one.

8.2.34 Indra, heard above all others, has done all these deeds,giving prizes to the generous.

8.2.35 He brings the cattle-seeking chariot, protecting it even from afar;he is master of wealth and its bearer.

8.2.36 The inspired winner with horses, the hero who kills Vritra with men,is a true guardian of the worshiper.

8.2.37 Worship Indra, Priyamedhas, with steadfast mind;he has truly rejoiced in soma.

8.2.38 The lord of Truth, famed in songs, seeking glory, full of life:Kanvas, sing of the prizewinning one.

8.2.39 Without any claim on the cattle-stalls, this generous friend gave to menwho had placed their desires upon him.

8.2.40 Thus, mace-bearer, you went forth as a ramto wise Medhyatithi Kanva.

8.2.41 Generous Vibindu gave him four ten-thousands,and eight thousand more.

8.2.42 And those two, descendants of Rana, swelling with milk,we have honored for the sake of offspring.

Hymn 8.3 — Seer: Medhyatithi Kanva. Deity: Indra; Pakasthaman Kaurayana, verses 21–24. Meter: Pragatha; verse 21 Anushtubh; verses 22–23 Gayatri; verse 24 Brihati.

8.3.1 Drink the pressed, savory, milk-rich draught; rejoice in us, Indra.Be our friend at the common feast for growth; let your thoughts guard us.

8.3.2 May we be victorious in your favor; do not deliver us to our enemies.Guard us by marvelous aid and lead us into happiness.

8.3.3 Lord of many treasures, let these songs of mine magnify you.The pure, bright-hued, wise ones have sung to you with hymns.

8.3.4 This one, strengthened by a thousand seers, spreads like the sea.His greatness and strength are true; I praise his rule over inspired priests at sacrifices.

8.3.5 We call Indra to the worship of gods, Indra at the opening sacrifice,Indra in the heat of battle, Indra to win wealth.

8.3.6 Indra spread Heaven and Earth wide by his greatness; Indra made Surya shine.All worlds rest upon Indra, and the pressed soma drops upon Indra.

8.3.7 At your first draught, Indra, men with hymns have sung to you;the Ribhus together raised their voices, the Rudras praised the ancient one.

8.3.8 Indra's heroic strength grew at the feast of pressed soma, at Vishnu's.Today men praise his greatness as their fathers did.

8.3.9 I seek from you that heroic strength, that prayer of ancient insight,with which you saved the Yatis, Bhrigu at the prize, and Praskanva.

8.3.10 With which you freed the vast sea and its mighty waters—that is your heroic power, Indra.His greatness cannot be erased, the greatness celebrated by the peoples.

8.3.11 Give us the heroic wealth I ask of you, Indra;help whoever seeks first to win a prize; favor this ancient hymn.

8.3.12 Help us as you helped Paura seeking insight, Indra;help as you guarded Rushama, Shyavaka and Kripa, and the sunlit man.

8.3.13 What mortal can sing of the swift force of these flowing ones?Even those who sing heaven have not attained the reach of his godly greatness.

8.3.14 What seer, what inspired man praises the god while striving for Truth?When, generous Indra, will you come at the call of the presser, the singer?

8.3.15 Those most honeyed songs, those hymns rise up,winning every battle, taking treasure, their aid undiminished, like chariots seeking prizes.

8.3.16 Like Kanvas, like Bhrigus, like suns, they attained every object of thought;the Priyamedhas cried out, magnifying Indra with hymns.

8.3.17 Yoke your bay horses from afar, mighty Vritra-slayer, Indra;come near, generous and fierce, with lofty steeds to drink soma.

8.3.18 These singers long for you; the inspired seek victory in wisdom.Hear our call, generous Indra, lover of song, like one who yearns for love.

8.3.19 You drove Vritra from the great bows, Indra,and drove cattle from Arbuda's magical beast and from the mountain.

8.3.20 Fires blazed forth and Surya shone forth, the godly essence of soma flowed forth;you cast the mighty serpent down from the midair: this is your manly deed, Indra.

8.3.21 Pakasthaman Kaurayana gave me one who seemed like Indra and the Maruts,the most splendid of all, racing as though through heaven.

8.3.22 Pakasthaman gave me a ruddy, well-yoked steed, broad in the girth,an awakening of riches.

8.3.23 For this horse ten others carry the yoke in turn,homeward like birds toward Tugra's son.

8.3.24 The father's soul, his body's covering and strength-giving ointment:I have called Pakasthaman the generous giver of the fourth ruddy horse.

Hymn 8.4 — Seer: Devatithi Kanva. Deity: Indra; possibly Pushan, verses 15–18; Kurunga, verses 19–21. Meter: Pragatha, alternating Brihati and Satobrihati; verse 21 Ushnih.

8.4.1 Whether men call you from east or west, north or south, Indra,you belong to many peoples, to Anu, Puru, Turvasha and the mighty host.

8.4.2 Or if you rejoice among the Rumas, Rushamas, Shyavakas or Kripas,the Kanvas bear hymns to you with prayers; come, Indra, when they call.

8.4.3 As a thirsty wild bull goes to an unspoiled watering place,come swiftly to us at morning and evening; drink among the Kanvas.

8.4.4 May soma drops delight you, generous Indra, for the presser who gives rewards.You drank soma pressed in that bowl, claiming the eldest strength.

8.4.5 He drove strength against strength and shattered anger with his might.All your battle-seeking foes, Indra, bent like trees before you.

8.4.6 He who reaches your praise gains the strength of a thousand fighters.He places his son foremost in valor and gives with words of homage.

8.4.7 Let us not fear, let us not weary in friendship with you, fierce one.Let us see your great heroic deed, mighty bull: Turvasha and Yadu.

8.4.8 I call after your left flank; the bull's bounty is not angered.Milch cows mixed with honey from bees await you; hasten here and drink.

8.4.9 Your friend, Indra, has horses, chariots, beauty and cattle;he shares in quick-won strength and always goes splendidly to the assembly.

8.4.10 Come thirsty like a wild deer to the watering place; drink soma at will.Each day, generous lord, you swallow it and take on mightiest strength.

8.4.11 Priest, let soma flow: Indra is thirsty.Now he has harnessed his mighty bays and arrived, the slayer of Vritra.

8.4.12 Even the generous man esteems himself when you are satisfied with soma.Here is your fitting food, soaked through; hurry and drink of it.

8.4.13 Priests, press soma for Indra who stands in his chariot.The stones speak out upon the high platform, pressing for the generous rite.

8.4.14 Let the two mighty bays bear Indra, their beloved, to our labors;let your steeds, sacrifice's glory, carry you here to the pressing.

8.4.15 We choose Pushan of many treasures for our companion.Mighty, much-invoked one, teach us with insight to release abundant wealth.

8.4.16 Sharpen us like a barber's razor; give us wealth, liberator.You know well the cattle-treasure that you send to a mortal.

8.4.17 I desire you for guidance, Pushan; I desire to praise you, radiant one.I have no wish for estrangement, rich lord; I sing to Pajra's song.

8.4.18 Let the cattle graze far afield, immortal radiant one, with enduring wealth.Pushan, be our kindly guard, most generous when prizes are won.

8.4.19 We have remembered Kurunga's substantial gift of a hundred horses in the heavenward rites,the gift of the splendid, fortunate king among the Turvashas.

8.4.20 By the Kanva's prayers and Priyamedhas' blazing songs these prizes were won:sixty thousand, herd after herd of cattle, I, the seer, drove away.

8.4.21 Even the trees bowed toward me in the evening.They share out cows for me, they share out horses for me.

Hymn 8.5 — Seer: Brahmatithi Kanva. Deity: the Ashvins; Kashu Chedi, verses 37–39. Meter: Gayatri; verses 37–38 Brihati; verse 39 Anushtubh.

8.5.1 As the ruddy radiance has shone from afar as though near,it stretched its light across the whole world.

8.5.2 Wonder-workers, with manly force, in a wide-ranging chariot harnessed by thought,you Ashvins accompany Dawn.

8.5.3 To you, treasure-rich ones, our hymns have appeared;you carry the word like a messenger.

8.5.4 Beloved by many, delighting many, rich in many treasures,I, a Kanva, praise the Ashvins for aid.

8.5.5 Greatest in giving prizes, lords of beauty, hastening,you will come to the generous man's home.

8.5.6 For the pious worshiper bring wise protection;shower pastureland with ghee.

8.5.7 Come swiftly toward our hymn with horses quick as falcons;come riding, Ashvins.

8.5.8 With these horses you circle three far regions,all the lights of heaven and three nights.

8.5.9 Give us cattle-rich nourishment, and victories, knowers of the day;open the paths to winning.

8.5.10 Bring us wealth of cattle, horses, fine heroes and fine chariots,borne along with food rich in horses.

8.5.11 Growing in strength, beautiful wonder-workers of golden paths,drink the sweetness of soma.

8.5.12 Bring us and our generous patrons far-reaching shelter,never overcome.

8.5.13 Come quickly where the prayer of the people has settled;do not stop with others.

8.5.14 Drink this lovely delight, Ashvins,this sweetness offered for you, wise ones.

8.5.15 Bring us wealth of hundreds and thousands,rich in food and sustaining all.

8.5.16 For inspired men in many places call on you, heroes;come with horses, Ashvins.

8.5.17 Men who have spread the ritual grass, bearing offerings and ready,call you, Ashvins.

8.5.18 Today may this hymn of ours carry you most closelyto us, Ashvins.

8.5.19 From the skin-bag full of honey set upon your chariot,drink, Ashvins.

8.5.20 With it bring to us, rich in prizes, well-being for beasts, sons and cattle,and abundant nourishment.

8.5.21 And let us have heavenly food and river-born food, knowers of the day;pour it forth like opening doors.

8.5.22 When your chariot flew through the air, heroes, where was Tugra's son,abandoned in the sea, as you approached?

8.5.23 True Ashvins, you gave unfailing help to Kanva,trapped and wounded in his home.

8.5.24 Come with that help, renewed and splendid,when I call you, mighty treasure-bringers.

8.5.25 As you saved Kanva and the celebrated Priyamedha,and Atri, clattering Ashvins,

8.5.26 as you aided Anshu in contest for wealth, Agastya among cattle,and Sobhari in the contests,

8.5.27 so much of your favor, or even more, Ashvins,do we seek as we sing your praise.

8.5.28 You mount a heaven-reaching chariot, Ashvins,with golden seat and golden reins.

8.5.29 Golden is your wheel-rim and pole, golden your axle;both its wheels are golden.

8.5.30 With that chariot come to us even from afar, rich in prizes,to this good song of mine.

8.5.31 Bring from afar many refreshments as you attain them, Ashvins,immortal givers of sustenance.

8.5.32 Come with splendor and fame and riches, Ashvins,true ones of many brilliant gifts.

8.5.33 Let your dewy-winged birds carry you hereto the people whose sacrifice is well made.

8.5.34 Your chariot follows the singers, moving with nourishment;no wheel obstructs its passage.

8.5.35 With your golden chariot and galloping horses,swift as thought, come, true ones.

8.5.36 You taste the watchful wild creature, mighty treasure-bringers;join our wealth to nourishment.

8.5.37 Ashvins, recognize the new gifts I have received:Kashu Chedi gave a hundred camels and ten thousand cattle.

8.5.38 The king gave me ten gleaming ornaments of gold;under the Chedi's feet lie the peoples, all the tribes beneath his sway.

8.5.39 Let no one travel this path the Chedis take;no other patron could ascend it, no man more lavish in gifts.

Hymn 8.6 — Seer: Vatsa Kanva. Deity: Indra; Tirindira Parshavya, verses 46–48. Meter: Gayatri.

8.6.1 Great Indra, powerful as rain-bearing Parjanya,has grown through Vatsa's hymns.

8.6.2 The inspired carriers of Truth bring forththe offspring of the one who nourishes Truth.

8.6.3 When the Kanvas made Indra the accomplisher of sacrifice with hymns,they called their kinsman a weapon.

8.6.4 Before his fury all peoples and settlements bow,like rivers before the ocean.

8.6.5 His strength blazed when Indra rolled both worlds together,like a leather hide.

8.6.6 With his mighty hundred-jointed mace he split the headof Vritra, though he trembled and shook.

8.6.7 These our thoughts resound at the head of the singers,flashing like Agni's flame.

8.6.8 Though hidden, the Kanvas' thoughts shone by their own powerthrough Truth's flowing stream.

8.6.9 Indra, may we reach that wealth of cattle and horses;let our prayer go forth for ancient insight.

8.6.10 I myself have inherited my father's wisdom of Truth;I have been born like Surya.

8.6.11 With ancient thought I adorn my songs as Kanva did,the thought by which Indra took on power.

8.6.12 Whether the seers praised you or did not praise you, Indra,grow for me, well praised one.

8.6.13 When his fury thundered and shattered Vritra limb by limb,he sent the waters toward the ocean.

8.6.14 Against the Dasyu Shushna, Indra, you struck your firm mace;for you are heard as a fierce bull.

8.6.15 Neither heavens nor midair nor earthscould contain Indra the mace-bearer in strength.

8.6.16 The one who blocked your vast waters, Indra,you crushed beneath your feet.

8.6.17 The one who seized both broad worlds together,you hid him in darkness, Indra.

8.6.18 Indra, when the Yatis and Bhrigus praised you,hear my call as well, fierce one.

8.6.19 These spotted cows of yours, Indra, milk ghee mixed with milk,swelling with Truth's nourishment.

8.6.20 Those who bore seed in their womb through your power, Indra,encircled Surya like a fixed ordinance.

8.6.21 You alone, lord of strength, the Kanvas magnified with their hymn;you alone the pressed soma drops.

8.6.22 Under your leading, Indra, is praise, lord of the stone,and the sacrifice to be spread.

8.6.23 Bring us great nourishment rich in cattle, like a fortress, Indra,and children strong in heroes.

8.6.24 And that horse-borne treasure among Nahusha's people, Indra,which shone foremost among the clans.

8.6.25 You stretched forth over the pen like Surya, whose eye reaches near,when you show us mercy, Indra.

8.6.26 When, growing in might, you rule the settlements, Indra,great and boundless in strength.

8.6.27 The offering-bearing people call to you for aid,wide-ranging lord, with soma drops.

8.6.28 At the mountain's bend and the rivers' confluence,the inspired poet was born through thought.

8.6.29 From there the wise one gazes down from the heights upon the ocean,where inspiration stirs.

8.6.30 Then they behold the day of light from ancient seed,when it is kindled beyond heaven.

8.6.31 All the Kanvas, Indra, magnify your insight and manly power,and your might, strongest one.

8.6.32 Receive this good song of mine, Indra, guard me well,and make my thought grow strong.

8.6.33 We inspired ones have fashioned prayers for you, mighty mace-bearer,so that we may live.

8.6.34 The Kanvas have sung toward Indra as waters run downhill,with their loving thought.

8.6.35 Hymns swelled Indra like rivers swell the sea,the ageless one of unbroken fury.

8.6.36 Come from afar on your two beloved bay horses;drink this pressed soma, Indra.

8.6.37 People who spread the ritual grass call you,greatest slayer of Vritra, to win the prize.

8.6.38 Both Heaven and Earth follow you, as a wheel follows its axle;pressed soma drops follow too.

8.6.39 Rejoice in Sharyanavat, sunlit hero, Indra;rejoice in Vivasvat's thought.

8.6.40 The mighty mace-bearer, growing toward heaven, roared:Vritra's killer, greatest drinker of soma.

8.6.41 For he was the first-born seer, sole ruler in strength;Indra, you draw riches toward yourself.

8.6.42 May a hundred bay horses, with broad backs,bring you to the pressings we offer.

8.6.43 The Kanvas magnified this ancient thought with song,overflowing with honey and ghee.

8.6.44 Let the mortal yearning for wisdom choose Indra of vast deeds,Indra for help when seeking to win.

8.6.45 Let the two bays praised by Priyamedha bear you here,much-praised one, to drink soma.

8.6.46 From Tirindira I received a hundred, and from Parshavya a thousand:the generous gifts of the Yadus.

8.6.47 Three hundred horses and ten thousand cattlewere given to Pajra Saman.

8.6.48 The Yadu people reached heaven's height in fame, giving camels harnessed four abreast,and glory spread among the peoples.

Hymn 8.7 — Seer: Punarvatsa Kanva. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

8.7.1 When the inspired singer poured forth a Trishtubh hymn to you, Maruts,you ruled among the mountains.

8.7.2 When, eager for strength, shining ones, you harnessed yourselves for travel,the mountains bent down.

8.7.3 The roaring sons of Prishni stir with windsand milk the swelling nourishment.

8.7.4 The Maruts scatter rain and shake the mountainswhen they journey with the winds.

8.7.5 At your passing the mountains yield, the rivers yield to their order,all bowing to your great power.

8.7.6 We call you by night for help, we call you by day;we call you at the opening sacrifice.

8.7.7 Those bright, ruddy-gleaming ones rise in their courses,roaring above the summit of heaven.

8.7.8 By their strength they make a ray, a path for Surya to travel;with their beams they spread abroad.

8.7.9 Maruts, mighty ones, welcome this song of mine,this hymn, this call of mine.

8.7.10 The spotted ones milked three lakes of sweetness for the mace-bearer,the spring, the water-vessel, the cloud.

8.7.11 Maruts, when we call you from heaven, seeking your favor,come near us now.

8.7.12 For you are generous Rudras, mighty ones, in our house,and wise in the rapture.

8.7.13 Send us from heaven unending wealth, Maruts,rich in food and sustaining all.

8.7.14 When you have harnessed your course above the mountains, shining ones,you rejoice in the pressed soma drops.

8.7.15 A mortal should ask for even this much of their favor,with songs to the unconquerable one.

8.7.16 Like falling drops they blow over both worlds with rains,milking an inexhaustible spring.

8.7.17 They rise with their cries, with their chariots and winds;the sons of Prishni rise with hymns.

8.7.18 With the help that saved Turvasha and Yadu, and Kanva who won wealth,we seek that treasure in prayer.

8.7.19 These nourishing gifts of yours, generous ones, like ghee,may they grow through Kanva's songs.

8.7.20 Where do you feast now, generous ones, with grass laid out?Which priest worships you?

8.7.21 Since earlier days you have strengthened Truth's hostwith hymns and spread ritual grass.

8.7.22 Together they gathered mighty waters, earth and Surya,and assembled the mace joint by joint.

8.7.23 They broke Vritra apart limb by limb and split the mountains,performing mighty, manly deeds.

8.7.24 They favored Trita's strength and insight in battle,and aided Indra in conquering Vritra.

8.7.25 With lightning in hand, bright in daylight, golden ornaments on their heads,the shining ones adorn themselves in splendor.

8.7.26 When from afar you came to Ushanas at the bull's opening,heaven roared with fear.

8.7.27 Come to give us abundant gifts, gods,with horses and hands of gold.

8.7.28 When spotted mares draw their chariot, with a ruddy horse at the traces,the shining ones come, releasing waters.

8.7.29 At fertile Sharyanavat, at Arjika and at Pastyavat,the heroes journeyed on their circling wheels.

8.7.30 When will you come, Maruts, to the singer who calls you thus,imploring you for mercy?

8.7.31 When indeed, beloved ones, did you leave Indra?Who seeks to claim your friendship?

8.7.32 Let us Kanvas praise Agni with the Maruts, whose hands hold maces,and who carry golden blades.

8.7.33 I turn toward you, mighty ones, rich in wondrous prizes,fit for sacrifice, for newer prosperity.

8.7.34 Even the hills bow low, seeming ready to break;even the mountains bend down.

8.7.35 They bear the wise patron, flying through the midair,and sustain him with the power he praises.

8.7.36 For Agni knew the ancients, bright as Surya with his flame;with their beams they spread abroad.

Hymn 8.8 — Seer: Sadhvamsa Kanva. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Anushtubh.

8.8.1 Come to us, Ashvins, with every aid you possess;Wonder-workers on golden paths, drink the honey of soma.

8.8.2 Come now, Ashvins, in your sun-skinned chariot,Golden-adorned protectors, poets of profound insight.

8.8.3 Come from beyond Nahusha, from the middle air, drawn by fine songs;Drink, Ashvins, the honey pressed at the Kanvas’ sacrifice.

8.8.4 Come to us from beyond heaven and through the air, lovers of sacrifice;The son of Kanva has pressed the honey of soma for you here.

8.8.5 Come to us when you hear, Ashvins, to drink soma;Bless the hymn, make it grow, inspired seers, with your thoughts.

8.8.6 For the ancient seers once called you to their help, heroes;Come, Ashvins, come near to this fine praise of mine.

8.8.7 Even from heaven’s bright realm come to us, finders of sunlight,With your insights, wise as Vatsa, hearing our hymns and calls.

8.8.8 Why do others beset you with songs instead of us, Ashvins?The seer Vatsa, Kanva’s son, has exalted you with words.

8.8.9 The inspired poet has called you here for help with hymns, Ashvins;Stainless, foremost killers of Vritra, bring us happiness.

8.8.10 When the maiden mounted your chariot, possessors of prize-winning wealth,You, Ashvins, attended to all her thoughts.

8.8.11 Come from there, Ashvins, in your thousand-colored chariot;Vatsa, Kanva’s poet, has spoken honeyed words in your honor.

8.8.12 Rich in joy, rich in goods, surpassing all in treasures,Receive this hymn of mine, Ashvins, bearers of offerings.

8.8.13 Set every reward before us, Ashvins, without reluctance;Do what is due for us, and do not surrender us to reproach.

8.8.14 Whether you are far away, Nasatyas, or here in the mid-sky,Come from there, Ashvins, in your thousand-colored chariot.

8.8.15 For Vatsa the seer, who praised you, Nasatyas, with his words,Set forth thousand-colored, ghee-streaming nourishment.

8.8.16 Grant him strength streaming with ghee, Ashvins, both of you:The one who praises you for favor, who longs for wealth, lords of giving.

8.8.17 Come to us, destroyers of harm, to this hymn, you bountiful ones;Make us splendid, heroes, and give us what we desire.

8.8.18 The Priyamedhas have called you with every aid, Ashvins,Rulers of sacrifices, whenever calls are raised.

8.8.19 Come to us, Ashvins, bringers of joy and blessings;Vatsa, wise with inspired thought, has exalted you with songs.

8.8.20 With the aids by which you saved Kanva Medhatithi,Vasha of the ten enclosures and Gosarya, save us, heroes.

8.8.21 With the aids by which you saved Trasadasyu in the struggle for wealth,With those same aids, Ashvins, guard us in the winning of prizes.

8.8.22 Let our hymns, fine songs and words exalt you, Ashvins;Greatest killers of Vritra in many places, be objects of our deep desire.

8.8.23 Three footsteps of the Ashvins are visible; one beyond lies hidden;The poets come toward the living along the paths of Truth.

Hymn 8.9 — Seer: Shashakarna Kanva. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Anushtubh, Brihati, Gayatri, Kakubh, Trishtubh, Viraj, Jagati.

8.9.1 Come now, Ashvins, to Vatsa’s aid;Give him broad, inviolable shelter; drive away hostilities.

8.9.2 Whatever strength lies in the air or heaven, or among the five peoples,Bring us that power, Ashvins.

8.9.3 The inspired have reflected on your wondrous deeds, Ashvins;Give heed now to the son of Kanva.

8.9.4 This warm offering is poured out for you with song, Ashvins;This honey-rich soma, prize-rich ones, by which you discerned Vritra.

8.9.5 Whatever wonders you have worked in waters, trees and herbs,Visit me with those, Ashvins.

8.9.6 Whether you hasten to nourish, Nasatyas, or act as divine healers,This Vatsa finds you through his prayers; you come to one who bears oblations.

8.9.7 Now the seer has composed a hymn for you two Ashvins;Pour out the sweetest soma and warm offering in Atharvan’s fire.

8.9.8 Now mount your chariot of swift-turning wheels, Ashvins;These hymns of mine have swept toward you like the sky.

8.9.9 If we rouse you today, Nasatyas, with recitations,Or with our voices, Ashvins, give heed to the son of Kanva.

8.9.10 When Kakshivan called you, and the seer Vyashva, and Dirghatamas,And Prithi, son of Vena, at their seats of worship—remember them, Ashvins.

8.9.11 Come protecting our shelter, guarding us from afar; guard our world and our bodies;Come with a haven for our children and descendants.

8.9.12 Whether you travel with Indra in one chariot, Ashvins, or share a dwelling with Vayu,Or delight with Adityas and Ribhus, or stand in Vishnu’s strides—

8.9.13 If I should summon you today, Ashvins, to win the prize,What helps us overcome in battle is the finest aid of the Ashvins.

8.9.14 Come now, Ashvins: here are offerings laid out for you;Here are pressed somas among Turvasha and Yadu, and here among the Kanvas.

8.9.15 Whether your medicine lies far or near, Nasatyas,Bring Vimada healing now, wise ones, and give Vatsa shelter.

8.9.16 I have awakened with the Ashvins’ divine voice;The divine one has disclosed her insight and her gifts to mortals.

8.9.17 Awaken, Dawn, Ashvins; awaken, divine gracious Speech, in greatness;Awaken the sacrificer and priest, and great renown for joy.

8.9.18 When you travel with your light, Dawn, and glow beside Surya,Then this chariot of the Ashvins comes along a path that protects men.

8.9.19 When the draughts are drunk, as cows give milk from their udders,Or when divine worshipers sound their voices to you, Ashvins—

8.9.20 For splendor, for force, for shelter that masters men,For skill, you wise ones, come forth.

8.9.21 Whether you now sit with inspired thoughts, Ashvins, at the father’s birthplace,Or with gracious favors, worthy of hymns—come forth.

Hymn 8.10 — Seer: Pragatha Ghaura Kanva. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Brihati, Shankumati, Astarapankti, Pragatha.

8.10.1 Whether you stay in the distant dwelling or the bright realm of heaven,Or your fashioned house upon the sea, come from there, Ashvins.

8.10.2 Or if you have prepared the sacrifice for Manu, give heed to the son of Kanva;I call Brihaspati and all the gods, Indra and Vishnu, the Ashvins with swift steeds.

8.10.3 I call those Ashvins of beautiful works, who seize what is offered,Whose friendship is ours to seek among the gods.

8.10.4 Upon whose grace wise men make sacrifices, upon the life-giving power:Let those discerning ones drink the honey of soma at the holy rite.

8.10.5 Whether today you are west or east, possessors of prize-winning wealth,Among the Druhyus, Anus, Turvashas or Yadus, I call you: come to me.

8.10.6 Whether you fly through the air, you of many gifts, or traverse these two worlds,Or by your own powers mount your chariot, come from there, Ashvins.

Hymn 8.11 — Seer: Vatsa Kanva. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri, Trishtubh.

8.11.1 You guard the ordinance, Agni, a god among mortals;You are to be praised at sacrifices.

8.11.2 You are worthy of praise at gatherings, mighty one;Agni, you drive the chariot of holy rites.

8.11.3 Therefore drive our enemies away, knower of births,And godless hostility, Agni.

8.11.4 Though you are close at hand, knower of births, you do not visitThe sacrifice of a hostile mortal.

8.11.5 We mortals remember your many names, immortal one,We inspired poets remember the knower of births.

8.11.6 Poets call the poet for aid, mortals the god for help;With songs we call Agni.

8.11.7 Vatsa has drawn your mind even from the highest assembly,Agni, with a song of longing for you.

8.11.8 For you are equally present in many places, lord among all the peoples;We summon you in conflicts.

8.11.9 Seeking prizes we summon Agni for aid in conflicts,Him whose gifts shine bright in contests.

8.11.10 Ancient and ever worthy of praise in rites, you sit as priest, old as time and ever new;Take pleasure in yourself, Agni, and sacrifice good fortune for us.

Hymn 8.12 — Seer: Parvata Kanva. Deity: Indra. Meter: Ushnih, Shankumati.

8.12.1 That soma-born exhilaration which makes your resolve keen, Indra, mightiest one,By which you strike the deceiver down—we ask for that.

8.12.2 That by which you aided Dashagva and Adhrigu, the trembling, sun-bright hero,By which you helped Samudra—we ask for that.

8.12.3 That by which you drove the Sindhu, its great waters like chariots,Opening the pathway for Truth to travel—we ask for that.

8.12.4 Take this hymn for our help, O mace-bearer, like purified ghee;By it you swiftly grow strong with power.

8.12.5 Accept this song, lover of song; it swells like the sea;Indra, grow strong with every form of aid.

8.12.6 Our god whom we implore from afar for friendship,You spread like rain from heaven; grow strong for us.

8.12.7 His beacons grew great, and his mace in his hands;Like the sun, he made the two worlds expand.

8.12.8 When you grew great, lord of truth, and slew a thousand buffaloes,Then your vast divine power grew.

8.12.9 Indra burns down the hostile one with the sun’s rays;Like fire consuming a forest, the victor grew great.

8.12.10 This new, timely prayer comes to you, Indra;Serving you, beloved of many, it measures out its song.

8.12.11 The god-loving child of the sacrifice purifies the rite in due order;With hymns he magnifies Indra and measures out his song.

8.12.12 Indra, winner of Mitra’s favor, spread out to drink soma;Like a blade turning east to the presser, he measures out his song.

8.12.13 The inspired, bearing recitations, delighted in him, living men;Like nourishing ghee upon the mouth of Truth, he came.

8.12.14 Aditi bore praise for Indra, self-ruling,Much acclaimed for help in the course of Truth.

8.12.15 The bearers sang for help and praise;The bay horses did not turn from the divine ordinances of Truth.

8.12.16 Whether you rejoice in soma at Vishnu’s, Indra, or with Trita Aptya,Or among the Maruts, rejoice in our drops.

8.12.17 Or if you rejoice far away, mighty one, upon the sea,Rejoice in the drops pressed here by us.

8.12.18 Or if you strengthen the soma-presser, lord of truth, the sacrificer,Or delight in his hymn, rejoice in the drops.

8.12.19 For help I sing Indra above all the gods, Indra again and again;Then they have prevailed for sacrifice and victory.

8.12.20 With sacrifices they enlarged the carrier of sacrifice, with somas the foremost soma-drinker;With offerings they magnified Indra, and prevailed.

8.12.21 Great are his guidances, many his renowns;All treasures have come to the generous giver.

8.12.22 The gods placed Indra at their head to kill Vritra;Voices sang to Indra, united in power.

8.12.23 Great in majesty, hearing our invocations,We praise the great one with hymns and songs, united in power.

8.12.24 Neither the two worlds nor the spaces between could contain the mace-bearer;In the house his united force blazed out.

8.12.25 When the gods placed you at their head in the contest of battle, Indra,Then your two desirable bay horses carried you onward.

8.12.26 When you slew Vritra, who had hemmed the rivers in, by your force, mace-bearer,Then your two desirable bay horses carried you onward.

8.12.27 When Vishnu strode his three steps for you with his strength,Then your two desirable bay horses carried you onward.

8.12.28 When your two desirable bay horses grew in strength day by day,Then all the worlds were held fast for you.

8.12.29 When the Marut clans joined you, Indra,Then all the worlds were held fast for you.

8.12.30 When you set the shining sun, that light, in heaven,Then all the worlds were held fast for you.

8.12.31 The poet sends this fine praise to you, Indra, with inspired thoughts;Like a familiar footstep, it nourishes the sacred rite.

8.12.32 When they together sounded in his beloved home,At the navel of the sacrifice, pouring forth at the rite—

8.12.33 Grant us fine heroes, good horses and abundant cattle, Indra,Like the priest, attentive to what has gone before at the rite.

Hymn 8.13 — Seer: Narada Kanva. Deity: Indra. Meter: Ushnih.

8.13.1 Indra purifies the resolve worthy of recitation among pressed somas;He sees the strength of the mighty, for he is great.

8.13.2 In the first heaven, growing in the dwelling of the gods,He crosses well, most renowned, victorious over the waters.

8.13.3 I call strong Indra to win the prize, for the struggle;Be our nearest friend in favor, and help us prosper.

8.13.4 This gift from the soma-presser flows for you, Indra, lover of song;Delighting in the ritual grass, you shine in splendor.

8.13.5 Give us now, Indra, what we ask of you as we press soma;Bring us bright treasure that finds the sunlight.

8.13.6 When the perceptive singer sends forth his words to you in full force,They climb like branches, when you accept them.

8.13.7 Bring forth songs as of old; hear the singer’s summons;At every exhilaration you have grown strong for the doer of good.

8.13.8 His gracious words play like waters streaming downhill;By this inspired thought he is called the lord of heaven.

8.13.9 He too is called lord of the peoples, the sole ruler;Rejoice in the pressing with those seeking help, exalted by reverence.

8.13.10 Praise the renowned and discerning one, whose bay horses are eagerTo reach the generous giver’s house, where honor awaits.

8.13.11 Hasten, great-minded one, with swift horses flecked with drops;Come quickly to the sacrifice: your portion is ready.

8.13.12 Mightiest Indra, lord of truth, establish wealth among your singers,And deathless fame and riches for the generous.

8.13.13 I call you at sunrise, I call you at midday;Come to us, Indra, delighted, with your coursers.

8.13.14 Come now, speed here; rejoice in the pressed soma rich in cattle;Stretch out the ancient thread, as you know how.

8.13.15 Whether you are far away, mighty killer of Vritra, or near,Or in the ocean of the soma draught, you are our helper.

8.13.16 May our songs enlarge Indra, may the pressed soma drops enlarge Indra;In Indra the peoples bearing offerings have found their joy.

8.13.17 Inspired men, seeking help, have exalted him, Indra,With advancing aids, the peoples rising like branches.

8.13.18 At the three soma-vats the gods spread the mindful sacrifice;Let our songs magnify him, who always grows.

8.13.19 When your singer, obedient to your ordinance, presents hymns in season,He is called pure, purifying, wondrous.

8.13.20 That powerful spirit of Rudra is manifest in the ancient dwellings,Where the wise have revealed its mind.

8.13.21 If you have chosen my friendship, drink this draught;With it may we cross beyond all hatred.

8.13.22 When, Indra, lover of song, will the singer bring you greatest joy?When will you grant us wealth in cattle and horses?

8.13.23 Your two strong bay horses, finely praised, draw your chariot;We seek your ageless, most exhilarating joy.

8.13.24 We implore the one praised by many, mighty with ancient helps;Sit upon the beloved ritual grass, apart from others.

8.13.25 Grow strong, much-praised one, with the praises of seers and your helps;Milk swelling nourishment for yourself, and protect us.

8.13.26 Indra, you are the guardian of one who praises you, mace-bearer;From Truth I send you a prayer harnessed to my mind.

8.13.27 Yoke your two bay horses here for soma drinking and shared delight,Indra, possessor of treasure: sound out your approach.

8.13.28 Let those sons of Rudra who attend you sound out your glory,And the Marut peoples greet the offering.

8.13.29 These advances of his delight in their station in heaven;They gather at the navel of sacrifice, as they know how.

8.13.30 For sight stretching far, as the sacrifice advances eastward,He measures out the rite in due order, clear-sighted.

8.13.31 A mighty bull is your chariot, Indra, mighty bulls your two bay horses;You are a bull, hundred-powered, and mighty is the call to you.

8.13.32 A bull is the pressing stone, a bull the rapture, a bull this pressed soma;A bull the sacrifice you set in motion; mighty is the call.

8.13.33 A bull calls you, the bull, mace-bearer, to your brilliant helps;You have loved this praise; mighty is the call.

Hymn 8.14 — Seers: Goshukti and Ashvasukti Kanvayana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri.

8.14.1 If I alone ruled wealth, Indra, as you do,My singer would be rich in cattle.

8.14.2 I would instruct him, I would give to the thoughtful man, lord of strength,If I were lord of cattle.

8.14.3 Your gracious speech is a cow, Indra, to the sacrificing soma-presser;Abundant, she yields him cattle and horses.

8.14.4 Neither god nor mortal can stop your generosity, Indra,When, praised, you wish to give a gift.

8.14.5 Sacrifice strengthened Indra when he rolled the earth abroadAnd fashioned the vault in heaven.

8.14.6 From you, growing great and winning every treasure,We choose your help, Indra.

8.14.7 He crossed the bright spaces of the midair in soma’s rapture,When Indra split open Vala.

8.14.8 He drove out the cows for the Angirases, revealing them in their hiding place;He thrust Vala back toward us.

8.14.9 By Indra the bright places of heaven, hard-set and firmly founded,Stand steady, not shaken away.

8.14.10 Like a wave of water flowing with delight, the hymn rushes toward Indra;Your ecstasies have spread abroad.

8.14.11 For you, Indra, grow through song and grow through recitation;You bring good fortune to singers.

8.14.12 Indra’s two long-maned bay horses will bear him to drink soma,Near the sacrifice, rich in generous gifts.

8.14.13 With water’s foam you severed Namuchi’s head, Indra,When you conquered every adversary.

8.14.14 With their deceits, the Dasyus tried to climb to heaven, Indra;You shook them down.

8.14.15 The assembly that presses no soma you scattered in every direction, Indra,And triumphed as the soma-drinker.

Hymn 8.15 — Seers: Goshukti and Ashvasukti Kanvayana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Ushnih.

8.15.1 Sing aloud to him, often invoked, praised by many;With songs desire the power of Indra.

8.15.2 His great force, doubly strong, upheld the two worlds,Mountains, plains, waters and sunlight with his virility.

8.15.3 You reign alone, praised by many, and kill the Vritras;Indra, lead us toward victory and renown.

8.15.4 We sing of your rapture, mighty, triumphant in battles,Maker of space, mace-bearer, glorious with bay steeds.

8.15.5 With it you found the lights for Ayu and Manu;Rejoicing upon this ritual grass, you shine resplendent.

8.15.6 Even today singers praise that deed of yours as before:Day by day you conquer the waters, wives of the bull.

8.15.7 Your great divine force, your might and purpose:Inspired wisdom sharpens your splendid mace.

8.15.8 Heaven enlarges your prowess, Indra, earth enlarges your fame;Waters and mountains urge you on.

8.15.9 Vishnu praises you, lord of the wide dwelling, Mitra and Varuna;The Marut host exults in you.

8.15.10 You were born the bull of men, most generous Indra;You always sustain all fair offspring.

8.15.11 You alone, much-praised one, crush all the Vritras;No one but Indra brings the work to completion.

8.15.12 Though they call you, Indra, with differing prayers for help,Win us sunlight here with our own men.

8.15.13 Enter every shape, ready to aid our great home;Inspire victorious Indra, the lord of strength.

Hymn 8.16 — Seer: Irimbithi Kanva. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri.

8.16.1 The singer praises Indra, king of peoples, with new songs,The most generous hero, conqueror of men.

8.16.2 In him all hymns rejoice and every glory,Like the waters flowing into the sea.

8.16.3 I court him with fine praise, foremost king, doer in battle,Great prize-winner for those seeking riches.

8.16.4 His ecstasies are undiminished, deep and far-reaching,Full of joy at the winning of heroes.

8.16.5 They call him to speak for them when wealth is at stake;Those who have Indra win.

8.16.6 With his exploits the peoples honor him, and with deeds;This Indra makes wide room.

8.16.7 Indra is sacred prayer, Indra the seer, Indra the much-invoked;Great is he through his mighty powers.

8.16.8 He deserves hymns and offerings, true, vigorous, abundant in works;Though one alone, he conquers all.

8.16.9 With verses, chants and Gayatri songs, the peoples,The dwellers on earth, magnify Indra.

8.16.10 Guide to better fortune, maker of light amid battles,He has mastered the hostile in war.

8.16.11 Much-invoked Indra will carry us safe across,Like a ship bearing us beyond every hatred.

8.16.12 So, Indra, bring us gifts and a way forward through our prizes;Lead us toward your favor.

Hymn 8.17 — Seer: Irimbithi Kanva. Deity: Indra, Vastospati. Meter: Gayatri, Pragatha.

8.17.1 Come: we have pressed it for you; drink this soma, Indra;Sit here upon my ritual grass.

8.17.2 Let your two long-maned bay horses, yoked by prayer, bear you here, Indra;Hear our invocations near at hand.

8.17.3 We priests, equipped for prayer, call you, soma-drinking Indra;We have pressed the soma.

8.17.4 Come to us with our pressed soma, and to our songs of praise;Drink deeply of the draught, strong-jawed one.

8.17.5 I pour it into your belly; let it course through your limbs;Take the honey with your tongue.

8.17.6 May this fully pressed soma be sweet to you, honeyed to your body;May it bring peace to your heart.

8.17.7 Let this soma creep toward you, discerning Indra,As women gather around their beloved.

8.17.8 Broad-necked and great-bellied, strong-armed in the soma’s rapture,Indra kills the Vritras.

8.17.9 Go forward, Indra, lord over all by your might;Kill the Vritras, killer of Vritra.

8.17.10 May your goad reach far, with which you extend treasureTo the sacrificing soma-presser.

8.17.11 This soma is purified for you, Indra, upon the ritual grass;Come, hurry and drink it.

8.17.12 Strong in cattle, honored with might, this is pressed for your delight;Akhandala, you are summoned forth.

8.17.13 Your offspring of the horned bull, born of a son, fit for the vessel—Set your mind upon this draught.

8.17.14 Lord of the dwelling, firm pillar among the soma offerings,Drop that breaks ancient forts, Indra is friend of sages.

8.17.15 Serpent-backed, seeking cattle for the worshiper, alone you master many;Bring Indra forward to drink the soma, like a swift horse urged by its driver.

8.18.1 Now let a mortal ask for their matchless favor,For the grace of the Adityas at this sacred calling.

8.18.2 For the path of these Adityas is without obstruction;Their guardians cannot be deceived, and foster the good road.

8.18.3 May Savitar, Bhaga, Varuna, Mitra and AryamanGrant us the broad shelter we seek.

8.18.4 Come with the gods, divine Aditi, bearer of what is unharmed,With your generous people, beloved of many, bringing fine shelter.

8.18.6 May Aditi by day guard our cattle, Aditi by night protect us from deceit;May Aditi, ever growing, save us from distress.

8.18.7 And let Aditi come by day with her thought and help;May she bring us peace and joy, and drive away the treacherous.

8.18.8 Let the two divine healers, the Ashvins, do us good;Let them drive disease and the treacherous far from here.

8.18.9 May Agni bring good with his fires; may Surya warm us for good;May Vayu blow us well, driving off disease and the treacherous.

8.18.10 Drive away sickness, treachery and ill will;Adityas, keep distress away from us.

8.18.11 Keep the arrow and ignorance away from us, Adityas;You who know all, set hatred far apart.

8.18.12 Grant us that shelter, Adityas, which freesEven a guilty man from his guilt, you generous ones.

8.18.13 If any mortal, possessing the malice of a demon, tries to hurt us,Let that yoked man hurt himself by his own actions.

8.18.14 Let evil reach that malicious, hostile mortalWho approaches us with deceit and violence.

8.18.15 You dwell in hearts, gods, and know mortals;Know both the deceiver and the guileless, Vasus.

8.18.16 We choose the shelter of the mountains and the waters;Heaven and earth, keep the worker of harm far from us.

8.18.17 With your blessed shelter, Vasus, carry us in your shipBeyond every danger.

8.18.18 For our children and descendants, great Adityas, grant usA longer lifetime in which to live.

8.18.19 There is an offense against you in our sacrifice, Adityas; be merciful;For in kinship we belong to you.

8.18.20 We implore the Maruts’ broad protection, the divine rescuer,The Ashvins, Mitra and Varuna, for well-being.

8.18.21 Mitra and Aryaman, Varuna, let your blameless shelter be worthy of men;Maruts, guide to us refuge triple-guarded.

8.18.22 Though we mortals are indeed bound to death, Adityas,Prolong our life so we may live.

8.19.1 The gods have kindled him with praise, the sun-bright god, their unfailing herald;Among the gods they have laid their offering.

8.19.2 Praise Agni, inspired one, who grants gifts far and wide, bright-flaming guide;Sobhari, call this ancient one to the holy rite, the soma feast and sacrifice.

8.19.3 We choose you, the best sacrificer, god among gods, immortal priest,Wise worker of this sacrifice.

8.19.4 Child of strength, blessed, bright-burning Agni of most excellent flame,May he gain for us in heaven the favor of Mitra, Varuna and the waters.

8.19.5 The mortal who gives to Agni with kindling, offering and sacred lore,Or honors him with reverence and a well-made rite—

8.19.6 His swift-running horses will hasten, his fame shine brightest;No harm made by god or mortal will reach him from anywhere.

8.19.7 May we thrive with your fires, son of strength, lord of nourishment;Be rich in brave sons and favorable to us.

8.19.8 Praised as a friendly guest, Agni is splendid as a chariot at the altar;In you abide sure and prosperous homes; you are king of riches.

8.19.9 That mortal who gives offerings in the rite, Agni, is truly blessed, worthy of praise;May he be a winner through his inspired thoughts.

8.19.10 Whoever finds you standing high for sacrifice prospers with heroic sons;He wins with horses, with singers, with champions, and wins the prize.

8.19.11 The one in whose house Agni in splendor cherishes the hymn, desired by all,Or accepts the offerings, burning away enemies—

8.19.12 Or the swiftest gift of the praising poet, mighty one:Make him protected by the god and exalted among mortals, lord of wealth, whose words you know.

8.19.13 Whoever courts Agni, keen-witted, with gifts of offerings or with reverence,Or with song, the shining winner of prizes—

8.19.14 The mortal who offers with sharpened kindling and sets the sacred places of Aditi aflame:Blessed among all peoples with his thoughts, let him cross beyond by glory like a boat across water.

8.19.15 Bring us, Agni, the brilliance that conquers whatever devourer lurks in a house,The hostile fury and evil thought of men.

8.19.16 By the light with which Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, the Nasatyas and Bhaga see,May we worship you with strength, best finder of paths, companion of Indra.

8.19.17 Those truly have good thoughts, Agni, who have placed you, seer, among them,The god who watches men, wise in rites.

8.19.18 They have fashioned the altar, blessed one, the oblation and soma-pressing for heaven;They win great wealth through contests, those who set their longing upon you.

8.19.19 May Agni, invoked, bring us blessing; blessed the gift, blessed the holy rite;And blessed our songs of praise.

8.19.20 Make your mind favorable as we overcome Vritra, through which you triumph in battles;Break down the steadfast hosts in their numbers; may we win by your aid.

8.19.21 I praise with song the one placed by Manu, whom the gods installed as messenger and herald,Best at sacrifice, carrier of oblations.

8.19.22 Sing forth to Agni, blazing with sharp jaws, youthful and royal;Fed with ghee, he adorns fine heroism with gracious words.

8.19.23 When Agni, fed with ghee, lifts his voice high and low,He shows his splendor like a sovereign.

8.19.24 The god placed by Manu sends forth offerings from his fragrant mouth;The well-rited priest, immortal god, longs for precious things.

8.19.25 If I were you and you were I, Agni, mortal and immortal, O gracious friend,Son of strength fed with offerings—

8.19.26 I would not hand you over to reproach, gracious one, or to evil, companion;Let my singer not suffer folly or ill fate, Agni, or wickedness.

8.19.27 Like a son well cherished by his father at home, let our oblation come before the gods.

8.19.28 May I, a mortal, stay ever close in gladness to your nearest helps,Agni, god and giver of treasure.

8.19.29 May I win by your resolve, Agni, your gifts and your praises;They call you my guiding thought, generous one: rejoice, Agni, in giving.

8.19.30 With your gifts of bold heroes and prize-bearing strength, Agni, he crosses over,Whose friendship you have chosen.

8.19.31 Your blue-tinged drop, your voice in season, flares up as it burns;You love the great dawns and reign in the night’s dwellings.

8.19.32 We Sobharis have approached for help the king with a thousandfold gift,Trasadasyu, who grants us our desire.

8.19.33 Your other fires, Agni, dwell beneath you like branches;Like dazzling lights I yoke them, strengthening your rule over peoples.

8.19.34 The mortal whom you, guileless Adityas, carry across,Is foremost among all the generous, lavish givers.

8.19.35 You kings rule over any man who masters peoples;Let us belong to you, Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman, charioteers of Truth.

8.19.36 Trasadasyu Paurukutsya has given me fifty brides,Most generous Arya, lord of the true.

8.19.37 And at Suvastu, beside the Tugvani, of those who came and went,Shyava became leader of seventy times three, a generous lord of steeds.

Hymn 8.20 — Seer: Sobhari Kanva. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Pragatha, Satoviraj.

8.20.1 Come; do not harm us. Do not stop your onward course, fierce ones;You can bend even what is steadfast.

8.20.2 Maruts with sturdy wheel rims, mighty Rudra-sons with beautiful radiance,Come today with nourishment to our sacrifice, much desired, lovers of Sobhari.

8.20.3 For we know the fierce might of Rudra’s sons, the skillful Maruts,Of Vishnu’s powerful, bountiful band.

8.20.4 The islands scattered, both worlds trembled and were yoked together;The dazzling ones stirred the dry plains, when you moved, self-luminous.

8.20.5 At your passage even the unmoving mountains roar, and the trees;Earth trembles on your journeys.

8.20.6 Heaven, great and high, has made room for your journey, Maruts;There the heroes reveal the force of their arms upon their bodies.

8.20.7 In keeping with their nature the heroes bear resplendent glory,Great and ardent, strong, bull-like, with unbending form.

8.20.8 The voice of the Sobharis is adorned with cows within the golden chariot chest;Kin of cattle, well born, great in nourishment and enjoyment, never failing.

8.20.9 Bring offerings for your strong, adorned host of Maruts,For the vigorous band of bulls advancing forth.

8.20.10 With your bull-strong horses, Maruts, in your bull-shaped, bull-naveled chariot,Come like winged falcons, heroes, to partake of our offerings at will.

8.20.11 Their adornment is the same: golden plates shine on their arms,And their spears flash with lightning.

8.20.12 Fierce bulls with fierce arms, none are weary in their bodies;Your bows are firm, your weapons on your chariots, splendor on your faces.

8.20.13 Their name spreads like a flood; one everlasting splendor belongs to them,Like a power inherited from a father.

8.20.14 Honor these Maruts, praise them near at hand, for of these thundering onesNone is the last like a wheel spoke: such is their giving and greatness.

8.20.15 Blessed in your old protections, Maruts, in the dawning hours,Is he who belongs to you even now.

8.20.16 Whose offerings you prize-winning heroes come to receive,He wins your favor with splendor and prizes, you shakers.

8.20.17 As befits the sons of Rudra, of heaven’s mighty creator,So let the young heroes act.

8.20.18 And you generous Maruts, who deserve our tribute and move as givers,Turn toward us even from afar with hearts rich in kindness, young ones.

8.20.19 Sing, Sobhari, to the youthful, fiery bulls with your newest song,Calling them as one summons cows.

8.20.20 They are strong as fists, welcome in every battle to the invokers;Praise with song the shining, mighty Maruts, most renowned.

8.20.21 Even the cows, Maruts, are of one mind, born together as kin;They lick each other’s shoulders.

8.20.22 Even a mortal, dancing ones with golden chests, comes to you in brotherhood;Come to us, Maruts, for your friendship is ever steadfast.

8.20.23 Maruts, generous ones, bring us the Maruts’ healing remedy;You are friends and steeds together.

8.20.24 With the aids by which you helped Sindhu, by which you sped on,By which you gave to Krivi, bless us with your kindly helps, joyful ones, vanquishers of malice.

8.20.25 Whatever remedy lies in the Sindhu, in the Asikni, in the seas,Or among the mountains, Maruts, upon your fine ritual grass—

8.20.26 You carry it in your bodies, seeing all; speak favorably for us through it;Remove disease from our sick one on earth, Maruts, and set right what is broken.

Hymn 8.21 — Seer: Sobhari Kanva. Deities: Indra, Chitra. Meter: Pragatha.

8.21.1 Seeking help, we summon you, incomparable, steady as a pillar,Brilliant Indra, in the contest for the prize.

8.21.2 Come to our aid in action; the bold, strong youth has come;You alone, Indra, we choose as helping friend and winner.

8.21.3 Come here, Indra: here are the soma drops, lord of horses and cattle and fields;Drink soma, lord of soma.

8.21.4 We who lack kin have sought you for a kinsman, inspired Indra;With all your powers, mighty bull, come to drink soma.

8.21.5 Perched like birds at your honey-rich, intoxicating cow-stall,We raise our songs to you, Indra.

8.21.6 We address you in reverence: why have you thought so long?There are desires, bay-horsed one; you are a giver, and we have inspired songs.

8.21.7 We stand newly in need of your help, Indra;For we do not know your ancient fullness, mace-bearer.

8.21.8 We know your friendship and generous feasting, hero, and seek them, mace-bearer;Sharpen us in this battle, bountiful one, in the cattle-rich contest, fair-lipped Indra.

8.21.9 That one who once brought us more and more treasure,That friend Indra I praise to you for help.

8.21.10 Bay-horsed, lord of truth, master of peoples, he has rejoiced;Let generous Indra send us cattle and horses, a hundred to his singers.

8.21.11 With you yoked beside us, mighty bull, we can answer a challengerAt the gathering of the cattle-rich people.

8.21.12 May we win from the doers, much-invoked one, and rise above evil thoughts;With our men may we kill Vritra and grow strong; Indra, favor our prayers.

8.21.13 You were born without rival, Indra, without equal or companion from ancient times;In battle you seek companionship.

8.21.14 You seek no wealthy man for friendship; the drinkers of liquor vex you, fine-horsed one;When you make the host resound, then you are called upon like a father.

8.21.15 May we not sit like helpless fools in friendship with you, Indra;Let us sit together at the pressing.

8.21.16 May we not tire of your cattle-giving bounty, Indra, or seize it;Bring us even your firmest treasures at a touch: your gifts cannot be deceived.

8.21.17 Indra indeed may give such a gift, or blessed Sarasvati give wealth,Or you, Chitra, give it to the generous man.

8.21.18 Chitra alone is king; all other kings are small, followers of Sarasvati;Like Parjanya spreading rain he has given thousands and tens of thousands.

8.22.3 We bring those gods, the Ashvins, most abundant, near with reverence,For our own protection, as guests to the giver’s home.

8.22.4 Around your chariot a wheel turns when your steeds are urged;Let your favor run toward us, lords of beauty, as a cow to her calf.

8.22.5 That three-seated chariot of yours with golden reins, Ashvins,Adorns heaven and earth in its fame; come in it, Nasatyas.

8.22.6 Bringing gifts to Manu, you plow barley in heaven with a wolf;We praise you today with kindly thoughts, Ashvins, lords of beauty.

8.22.7 Come to us, possessors of prize-winning wealth, along the paths of Truth,By which you mighty ones strengthened Trikshi and Trasadasyu for great dominion.

8.22.8 For you this soma is pressed with stones, strong and wealthy heroes;Come drink the soma in the giver’s house.

8.22.9 Climb up, Ashvins, into your golden chariot chest, mighty and rich;Yoke the swelling streams of nourishment.

8.22.15 At daybreak I call you, Ashvins, with your chariot, for the good way,As Sobhari calls like a father.

8.22.16 Swift as thought, mighty, pouring out delight, come with your fast-moving aids;Even from afar bring your ancient help to us, you of many gifts.

8.22.17 Travel to us, Ashvins, with horses, heroes who love honey;Bring cattle and gold, wondrous ones.

8.22.18 Good shelter, brave sons, excellent treasures that none can seize: guard us, Ashvins;On this your journey let us gather every lovely thing, possessors of prizes.

8.23.9 Lovers of Truth with song draw near him, true one, accomplisher of sacrifice;They have found joy in him at the place of reverence.

8.23.10 Let our sacrifices go together toward the greatest Angiras,The most famous priest among the clans.

8.23.11 Agni, your ageless flames, kindled, shine wide,Like virile horses eager for strength.

8.23.12 Lord of nourishment, give us treasure rich in heroes;Guard us, our children and descendants in battle.

8.23.13 When the lord of the clan is kindled, well pleased among human folk,Agni drives away all the demons.

8.23.14 Agni, strong lord of clans, hear this new hymn of mine;Burn deceitful demons with your heat.

8.23.15 No hostile mortal by his magic can overcomeOne who gives Agni his offerings.

8.23.16 The seer Vyashva, desiring riches, won your favor, finder of treasure;For great wealth we kindle you anew.

8.23.17 Ushanas Kavya installed you as priest,Knower of births, officiant for Manu.

8.23.18 For all the gods, with one accord, made you their messenger;Hearing them, god, you became first at sacrifice.

8.23.19 Let a mortal make this immortal god his messenger,Purifying, blackening his path, swift through the air.

8.23.21 The mortal who honors him with gifts of oblationWins abundant prosperity and hero-rich fame.

8.23.22 To Agni, the first knower of births, first in sacrifices,The offering ladle comes bearing oblation and reverence.

8.23.23 Let us serve Agni with these foremost thoughts as Vyashva did,With our most generous prayers to the bright-flaming one.

8.23.24 Sing now to the sky-traversing Agni with songs, like Sthurayupa,You seer Vaiyashva, to the god of the home.

8.24.1 Friends, let us make a prayer for mace-bearing Indra;I praise to you the boldest hero of all.

8.24.2 Renowned for your might, Vritra-killer, for killing Vritra,You surpass the generous in gifts, hero, by your generosity.

8.24.3 As we praise you, bring us wealth of the brightest fame,Bay-horsed one who gives riches even in scarcity.

8.24.4 Bring us what is rare and precious among men, Indra;Fearless one, praised for your daring, bring it here.

8.24.5 Neither your left nor right hand can be checked by foolish men,Nor can obstacles stop you, bay-horsed one, in the quest for cows.

8.24.6 With songs I open you as one opens a cattle pen, mace-bearer;Fulfill the singer’s desire and fill his mind.

8.24.7 From Vishvamana’s thoughts, conqueror of Vritra,Come with every gift to us, fierce guide and lord of wealth.

8.24.8 May we come to know your new gift, Vritra-killer, hero,Your desirable abundance, much-invoked one.

8.24.9 For your might, Indra, is invincible, best of heroes;Your gift to the generous man cannot be taken, much-invoked one.

8.24.10 Rain your power forth, great and generous one, best of heroes, for great reward;Lay hold even of the stronghold, generous one, to give generously.

8.24.11 Even elsewhere, mace-bearer, our hopes have turned toward you;Generous one, make them come true with your help.

8.24.12 For I know no other but you, most manly one, to grant bounty,Wealth and splendor and strength, lover of songs.

8.24.13 Pour the soma drop for Indra; he will drink the honey of somaAnd urge us on with bounty and with greatness.

8.24.14 I have spoken to the lord of bay horses, who replenishes our skill;Now hear your singer’s call for horses.

8.24.15 For no one, hero, was ever born braver than you,None so rich, so kind or worthy of joy.

8.24.16 Pour out the most exhilarating honey draught, officiant;For so, hero, the ever-growing one is praised.

8.24.17 Indra, driver of bay horses, none has reached beyond your ancient praiseIn strength or joy.

8.24.18 We have called the lord of prizes, seeking fame,Worthy of increase through unfailing sacrifices.

8.24.19 Come, friends, let us praise Indra, the hero worthy of hymns,Who alone towers over all peoples.

8.24.20 For the finder of cows, the bright one who shuts no cattle away,Speak a wondrous word sweeter than ghee and honey.

8.24.21 His heroic deeds are measureless, his gifts beyond reach;His generosity shines over all, like light.

8.24.22 Praise Indra as Vyashva did, the wave-breaking winner of prizes,The Arya dispensing the household’s wealth to the generous.

8.24.23 So praise him now, Vaiyashva, for the tenth and ninth time,Knowing him well, the doer of wonders among the peoples.

8.24.24 For you know how to turn aside ruin, mace-handed one;Day by day clear our path as one clears away pitfalls.

8.24.25 Bring us that aid, Indra, with which, doer of wonders,You twice aided Kutsa: stir it now for us.

8.24.26 Now we implore you, newest and most wondrous, for gain;Be the one who overcomes all our assailants.

8.24.27 You who released us from crushing danger, who brought riches among the seven rivers,Mighty one, you struck down the Dasa’s weapon.

8.24.28 As Varu brought wealth to Sushamna and those seeking gifts,So let fair bounty come to the Vyashvas.

8.24.29 Let the generous gift of Narya come to the soma-pressing Vyashvas,Rich gifts in hundreds and thousands.

8.24.30 If a sacrificer asks you where is the one who makes a home,This is Vala, the hidden one: he stands among cattle wealth.

8.25.9 Finding a path even for the blind with unclouded sight,Without shutting their eyes they discern all, watchers of every thing.

8.25.10 May divine Aditi guard us, and the Nasatyas;May the Maruts, whose power grows, guard us.

8.25.11 You generous gods, guard our ship by day and night;Unharmed, may we accompany your protectors.

8.25.12 To generous Vishnu, who cannot be struck down, we turn without harm;Hear us, self-going Sindhu, as you have heard before.

8.25.13 We choose that most precious and safest shelter,Which Mitra, Varuna and Aryaman protect.

8.25.14 May Sindhu of the waters bring it, and the Maruts and the Ashvins,Indra and Vishnu, generous in one accord.

8.25.15 For these swift heroes repel the aggression of any enemy,Like a sharp, crushing weapon.

8.25.16 This sole lord of the clan sees far and wide;We follow his ordinances.

8.25.17 We have cleaved to the ancient homes of sovereignty,The far-heard ordinances of Mitra and Varuna.

8.25.18 With his ray he measured the ends of heaven and earth;He filled both worlds with his greatness.

8.25.19 He has risen at the refuge of heaven, Surya, stretching out his light,Bright as Agni kindled by oblation.

8.25.20 The lord whose speech dwells far away controls cattle-rich prizes;He controls the gift of nourishing food that does no harm.

8.25.21 I speak to Surya and both worlds at dusk and at morning;Rise always among our generous patrons.

8.25.22 At Sushamna we won a chariot harnessed with silverFor Rjra, journeying to the bulls, and for Harayana.

8.25.23 Those steeds of mine, the bay horses, pull eagerly,And they carry heroes through their tasks.

8.25.24 Their reins and whips are with us: by the poet’s newest thought,May the great prize-winning racers, swift horses, stay with us.

Hymn 8.26 — Seers: Vishvamana Vaiyashva and Vyashva Angirasa. Deities: the Ashvins (verses 1–19), Vayu (20–25). Meter: Ushnih, Gayatri, Anushtubh.

8.26.1 I call your chariot to be praised together among the generous,You two unconquered in skill, mighty, with the wealth of bulls.

8.26.2 You went to Varu Sushamna, Nasatyas, for his great people,With help, you two mighty possessors of riches.

8.26.3 We summon you today with offerings, prize-rich ones,Sending forth abundant nourishment through the night.

8.26.4 Let your chariot, swiftest of all, come here, famed Ashvins;Show yourselves in glory beside Turva’s songs.

8.26.5 Even when offerings fail, Ashvins, think kindly on us, mighty and rich;For you, Rudra’s sons, carry us beyond our enemies.

8.26.6 Wonder-workers, you circle all mankind swiftly,Quickening thought, honey-colored lords of beauty.

8.26.7 Come near us, Ashvins, with wealth that nourishes all,Generous with brave sons and never failing.

8.26.8 Indra and Nasatyas, come close to my call,Gods most friendly with the gods today.

8.26.9 We call to you yearning for abundance, as Vyashva did;Come to us, inspired ones, with favoring thoughts.

8.26.10 Praise the Ashvins for the seer’s benefit: perhaps they will hear your call,And come near, even scattering the Panis.

8.26.11 Hear Vaiyashva, heroes, and hear this song of mine;Let Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman rejoice with you.

8.26.12 What you have given and what the generous have brought through you,Teach me day by day, you mighty ones.

8.26.13 He who surrounds you with sacrifices as a bride wraps herself in garmentsServes you for beauty, Ashvins, and makes you resplendent.

8.26.14 He who perceives your widest, man-protecting course—Travel that way around to us, Ashvins.

8.26.15 Come to us with your man-protecting path, wealthy mighty ones;You have borne the sacrifice by song beyond treachery.

8.26.16 The swiftest of calls is your hymn, the messenger calling you, heroes;Let it be for you two, Ashvins.

8.26.17 If you delight in the sea of heaven or the home of nourishment,Hear me, immortals.

8.26.18 And there flows the white-bearing Sindhu, swiftest of rivers for you,With her golden pathway.

8.26.19 With this bright fame, Ashvins, with this radiant thought of ours,You travel in your brilliant course.

8.26.20 Yoke your chariot, you who master chariots; harness it for our prosperity, lord of wealth;Come drink our honey, Vayu, come to our soma-pressings.

8.26.21 Lord of Truth, Vayu, wondrous son-in-law of Tvashtar,We choose your protections.

8.26.22 We, the soma-pressing people, implore Vayu, Tvashtar’s son-in-law,Lord over treasure, for splendid gifts.

8.26.23 Come, Vayu, from heaven with blessings; bring good horses with you;Come with the great wide-winged chariot.

8.26.24 We call you, swiftest of all, to human dwellings,Generous as a pressing stone borne on horseback.

8.26.25 And you, foremost god Vayu, rejoicing in your mind,Bring us prizes, waters and inspired thoughts.

Hymn 8.27 — Seer: Manu Vaivasvata. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Pragatha, alternating Brihati and Satobrihati.

8.27.1 Agni is the priest at the hymn, the pressing stones and ritual grass at the rite;With verse I seek the Maruts, Brihaspati and the gods, the finest help.

8.27.2 And the cattle, earth, trees, dawn and night and herbs:All you Vasus, knowing all, protect our thoughts.

8.27.3 Let the ancient rite proceed among the gods through Agni,Among the Adityas to ordinance-keeping Varuna and the all-shining Maruts.

8.27.4 For all the gods, who know all, have always helped Manu grow, consuming harm;With unfailing guardians, all-knowing ones, lead us to inviolable shelter.

8.27.5 Come to us today, All-Gods, in one mind, sharing one joy;With song, O Maruts and divine Aditi, come to this great dwelling.

8.27.6 Mitra, proceed to the dear offerings for your steeds, O Maruts;Let Indra, Varuna, bold heroes and Adityas sit on our ritual grass.

8.27.7 We have strewn the ritual grass and set the offering; pressed the soma in due order;We call you, Varuna, like Manu, with the sacrificial fires.

8.27.8 Come forth, Maruts, Vishnu, Ashvins and Pushan, at this harmless prayer;Let Indra come first with prize seekers, the bull and Vritra-killer I praise.

8.27.9 Unbetraying gods, grant us shelter without a breach,Which no danger, Vasus, can penetrate, from afar or even close at hand.

8.27.10 There is kinship with you, destroyers of harm, gods, and friendship;Speak for us toward ancient good fortune, and swiftly toward fresh favor.

8.27.11 Now I have sent toward you, knowers of all, a song of praise,Reverent as a lover approaching his beloved for a share of what is precious.

8.27.12 Your Savitar has risen upright, worthy of choice, bringing good guidance;Two-footed and four-footed beings, wanderers and winged things, have come to rest.

8.27.13 Each god in turn we call for aid, each for protection;Each god we call to win the prize, singing with divine insight.

8.27.14 For all the gods, in one mind, share gifts and help Manu;Today and later for our children let them find us broad room.

8.27.15 I proclaim you, guileless ones, at the close of our praises;No deceiver takes that mortal, Varuna and Mitra, who has served your dwellings.

8.27.16 He who offers you a precious gift crosses to safety and gains abundant food;He is born anew through offspring, unharmed under law, and flourishes whole.

8.27.17 He finds himself free of battle and travels on easy roads,Whom Aryaman, Mitra and Varuna together protect in fellowship.

8.27.18 You make even the level ground slope for him and a difficult pass easy;Let even the arrow fall far from him, failing to find its mark.

8.27.19 Today at sunrise uphold Truth, you who cherish your rule;At sunset, at waking, knowers of all, or at midday—

8.27.20 Or when you mighty ones keep Truth at evening and spread shelter for the giver:Then, all-knowing Vasus, let us dwell among you.

8.27.21 Whatever blessing you grant to Manu today at sunrise or midday,Grant it to the discerning man who offers, all-knowing gods.

8.27.22 That is what we choose from you, sovereigns, like children seeking many guardians;Adityas, let us attain what makes the giver of oblation prosper.

Hymn 8.28 — Seer: Manu Vaivasvata. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Gayatri, Puraushnih.

8.28.1 The gods who are three beyond thirty sat on the ritual grass;They found the day and sat in a second place.

8.28.2 Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman and the Agnis, united in giving,With their consorts, honored by the ritual cry—

8.28.3 May they guard us westward, northward and downward,And from the east, with all the peoples.

8.28.4 Let things be as the gods desire; no one diminishes their will,Not even a hostile mortal.

8.28.5 Seven are the spears of these seven, seven their splendors;Seven glories they have taken on themselves.

Hymn 8.29 — Seer: Manu Vaivasvata, or Kashyapa Maricha. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Dvipada Viraj.

8.29.2 One, radiant and wise among the gods, has taken his seat in the womb.

8.29.3 One, firmly standing among the gods, carries an iron ax in his hand.

8.29.4 One carries the mace ready in his hand, and with it kills the Vritras.

8.29.5 One carries a sharp weapon in his hand, pure and fierce, with healing balm.

8.29.6 One fattens the roads like a thief, for he knows where the treasures lie.

8.29.7 One, far-ranging, has strode his three steps where the gods rejoice.

8.29.8 Two wander with one woman, like travelers on a journey.

8.29.9 Two sovereign kings have fashioned their seats high in heaven, drinkers of ghee.

8.29.10 Some, singing, devised the great chant, and by it set the sun aglow.

Hymn 8.30 — Seer: Manu Vaivasvata. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Gayatri, Puraushnih, Brihati, Anushtubh.

8.30.1 There is not one small among you, gods, nor one a child;All of you are truly great.

8.30.2 Thus praised you have become, destroyers of harm,You thirty-three gods worthy of Manu’s sacrifice.

8.30.3 Guard us, help us, speak on our behalf;Do not lead us far from Manu’s ancestral path, into the distance.

8.30.4 All you gods who are here, and you universal fires,Grant us broad shelter, with cattle and horses.

8.31.1 He who sacrifices truly sacrifices, presses soma and cooks the food;His prayer finds favor with Indra.

8.31.2 He who gives him a sacrificial cake and soma mixed with milk,Mighty Indra saves from distress.

8.31.3 His chariot will shine, impelled by the gods, and he will grow strong,Conquering every hostile force.

8.31.4 In his house, rich in offspring, unfailing day by day,Ila yields milk with her cattle.

8.31.5 The husband and wife who with one mind press soma and hasten to the rite,O gods, are joined to the daily milk-mixture.

8.31.6 Facing the edible offerings, in harmony they take their place on the grass;They do not falter in contests.

8.31.7 They do not turn aside the favor of the gods or hide from it;They desire great fame.

8.31.8 With sons and daughters they live their entire lifetime,Both adorned in gold.

8.31.9 They whose offering fire is kindled and wealth acquired make gifts for immortality;Together they press the hairy udder and perform service among the gods.

8.31.10 We choose the shelter of mountains and rivers,And Vishnu’s company.

8.31.11 Let Pushan come, wealth and Bhaga, blessing that holds all blessings;Let our road be wide and safe.

8.31.12 The divine thought of Aramati is without obstacle,And the way of the Adityas is unhindered.

8.31.13 For Mitra, Aryaman and Varuna guard us;Easy are the paths of Truth.

8.31.14 With song I praise your ancient Agni, god of the Vasus,Beloved by many who worship him, like a friend securing a home.

8.31.15 Swift is the chariot with gods beside it, or the hero in any battle;The sacrificer who seeks the gods’ favor will outlast one who does not sacrifice.

8.31.16 You will not perish, sacrificer, nor you who press soma, nor you who love the gods;The sacrificer who seeks the gods’ favor will outlast one who does not sacrifice.

8.31.17 No one overtakes him by deed or leaves him behind or forsakes him;The sacrificer who seeks the gods’ favor will outlast one who does not sacrifice.

8.31.18 Here let there be fine heroes and the best of horses;The sacrificer who seeks the gods’ favor will outlast one who does not sacrifice.

Hymn 8.32 — Seer: Medhatithi Kanva. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri.

8.32.1 Kanvas, tell in song the deeds of Indra, drinker of pressed soma,In the rapture of the soma.

8.32.2 Fierce Indra killed Sribinda, Anarshani, Pipru, the Dasa Ahishuva,And released the waters.

8.32.3 Down from Arbuda’s dwelling, from the huge summit,You struck him: this is your manly deed, Indra.

8.32.4 For help I call the fair-lipped one, famous and daring,Like a swift stream from a mountain.

8.32.5 In soma’s rapture you break open the pen of cows and horses,As a hero breaks down a stronghold.

8.32.6 If my pressed soma pleases you and you delight in my hymn,Come from afar by your own power.

8.32.7 We too are your singers, Indra, lover of song;Bring us life, soma-drinker.

8.32.8 And bring us nourishing food, undiminished, sharing generously;Abundant are your riches, generous lord.

8.32.9 And make us rich in cattle, in gold and in horses;Let us grasp the gifts of Ila.

8.32.10 We call the one of vast praise, whose hands pour forth, for help,The one who acts well to protect us.

8.32.11 For the hundred-powered Vritra-killer accomplishes it even at the assembly,Rich in gifts for his singers.

8.32.12 Let mighty Indra, generous in gifts,Bring us aid within reach by every form of help.

8.32.13 Sing to that Indra, vast reservoir of wealth,Who bears us safely across and befriends the soma-presser.

8.32.14 The mighty one, firm in battle, winning fame,Lord over abundance with his strength.

8.32.15 None can restrain his powers or his truthful words;No one can say, “He will not give.”

8.32.16 No debt remains to us for prayers now, nor to swift soma-pressers;No soma was drunk without its due offering.

8.32.17 Sing of the praiseworthy one; proclaim hymns of praise;Fashion prayer for him who deserves praise.

8.32.18 Deserving praise, Indra burst open strongholds and won thousands of prizes,Increasing the wealth of the sacrificer.

8.32.19 Go forth widely according to your own nature, summoned among the peoples;Drink the pressed somas, Indra.

8.32.20 Drink of the soma pressed according to sacred law, and that of Tugrya too,And this soma of yours, Indra.

8.32.21 Pass by the angry man; come near to the one who presses soma;Drink this offered and pressed draught.

8.32.22 Come from the three far regions; pass through the five peoples;Our milch cows call aloud to you, Indra.

8.32.23 As Surya sends forth his rays, let my songs draw you here,As waters run together downhill.

8.32.24 Officiant, pour soma for the strong hero of mighty jaws;Bring the pressed drink for him to consume.

8.32.25 He broke the cloud that held back water, sending the rivers downward;He made the milk ripen within the cows.

8.32.26 He killed Vritra, Richisha, the cloud-like Ahishuva;He struck Arbuda down with ice.

8.32.27 Sing your god-given prayer to the fierce, unyielding,Unconquerable one who presses on.

8.32.28 For Indra, in the rapture of the soma draught,Knows all ordinances among the gods.

8.32.29 Your two golden-maned bay horses stand here ready for shared delight;Let them bear you to the offering set out.

8.32.30 Let your bay horses, praised by Priyamedha, bear you toward us,Praised by many, to drink soma.

Hymn 8.33 — Seer: Medhyatithi Kanva. Deity: Indra. Meter: Brihati, Gayatri, Anushtubh.

8.33.1 We who have pressed soma and strewn grass surround you like waters,Singers at the flowing channels of the strainer, Vritra-killer.

8.33.2 Men cry out to you at the pressing, bountiful one, reciters at the feast;When will you come home, thirsty for the pressed soma, Indra, like a bull to drink?

8.33.3 Daring with the Kanvas, win the prize of a thousand;Golden-hued generous Indra, we seek swift, cattle-rich wealth from you.

8.33.4 Drink the soma draught with delight, Indra, while Medhyatithi sings;Your golden mace-bearing chariot joins the paired bay horses at the pressing.

8.33.5 You are easy to invoke, generous in gifts, wise in purpose and praised;Indra, you are maker of thousands, lord of hundreds, fortress-breaker.

8.33.6 Fierce and irresistible, steadfast, bearded Indra,Whose dazzling glory shakes the world, much-praised bull, powerful in purpose.

8.33.7 Who knows him as he drinks with the pressed soma? What nourishment has he given?This is he who, delighted in the drink, breaks fortresses with his might.

8.33.8 Like a great wild beast you wander far and wide in generosity;No one can restrain your arrival at the pressing: great you roam in strength.

8.33.9 When the fierce, unconquered one, steadfast and ready for combat,Hears his singer’s call, generous Indra does not fail to come.

8.33.10 Truly, you are a bull, impelled by bulls, unstoppable for us;Bull and fierce one, you are heard far away and known as a bull nearby.

8.33.11 Strong as bulls are your reins, your golden whip a bull;Bull your chariot, generous one, bull your bay horses, bull you, hundred-powered one.

8.33.12 Let the bull-presser press for you, and bring it, bull, with its rich dregs;The bull has placed the bull among the streams for you, driver of bay horses.

8.33.13 Come, Indra, drink the honey of soma, mightiest one;Will the generous, wise one not hear our songs and hymns and prayers?

8.33.14 Let the chariot-yoked bay horses bear you standing in your car,Across other men’s soma-pressings, Vritra-killer, hundred-powered one.

8.33.15 Accept today this nearest song of ours, great generous one;Let our pressings give you greatest joy, radiant soma-drinker.

8.33.16 For his strength delights neither at your bidding nor mine,This hero who has brought us together.

8.33.17 Even Indra said it: “A woman’s mind resists instruction,And her resolve is swift.”

8.33.18 Even two steeds overflowing with rapture draw the chariot paired;Thus the stronger one rises above.

8.33.19 “Look down, not up; draw your feet closer together;Let them not see your ankles: you have become a woman-priest.”

8.34.14 Break loose for us thousands of cattle and horses, hero;Ruler of that heaven, reach heaven, heavenly lord.

8.34.15 Bring us thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds;Ruler of that heaven, reach heaven, heavenly lord.

8.34.16 For Indra and Vasurochisha have given me a thousand,The finest horses and cattle.

Hymn 8.45 — Seer: Trishoka Kanva. Deities: Agni and Indra (verse 1), Indra (2–42). Meter: Gayatri.

8.45.1 Blessed are those who kindle Agni and spread ritual grass in due order,Whose young friend is Indra.

8.45.2 Great is their fuel, abundant their praise, broad their sacrificial stake,Whose young friend is Indra.

8.45.3 The warrior drives the one enclosed in battle off with his champions,Whose young friend is Indra.

8.45.4 Born, the Vritra-killer seized his quiver and questioned his mother:“Who are the fierce ones? Who are renowned?”

8.45.5 The mighty one spoke against you, like waters from a mountain, not daring combat,Who called himself your enemy.

8.45.6 And hear this, generous one: what desires you bear, you extend;What is strong, you strengthen.

8.45.7 When Indra, maker of contests, enters the race desiring fine horses,He is the foremost charioteer of charioteers.

8.45.8 Scatter every attacking force far in every direction, mace-bearer;Be most renowned for our sake.

8.45.9 Let Indra set our chariot foremost to win the prize,A chariot that no deceivers can derail.

8.45.10 May we turn all haters away from you; you are ready to give, mighty one;Let us go to cattle-rich Indra.

8.45.11 Even proceeding slowly, mace-bearer, with horses and a hundred cows,We will speak out, unhindered.

8.45.12 For day by day your thousands and hundreds of gracious words rise high,Abundantly given to your singers.

8.45.13 We know you, Indra, as winner of wealth and breaker even of what is firm,The one who tears open a household’s store.

8.45.14 Let the bold drops delight you, poet, even upon the summit;We seek you as we seek a generous trader.

8.45.15 That rich giver of yours who has thought of generosity,Bring us his gift in abundance.

8.45.16 These soma-pressing friends gaze toward you, Indra,Like well-fed beasts looking to their keeper.

8.45.17 And though you seem deaf, we call you from afar for help,For we know your ears hear us.

8.45.18 If you hear this call, even though you are hard to win,Become our nearest kinsman.

8.45.19 Though we have thought you gone and felt distressed,Show yourself our giver of cattle, Indra.

8.45.20 We cling to you like old women to a staff, lord of strength;We long for you at the gathering.

8.45.21 Sing a hymn to Indra, strong among many men,Whom no one bars in battle.

8.45.22 To you, mighty bull, I release the pressed soma for drinking;Take your fill; enjoy its rapture.

8.45.23 Let no foolish men hostile to your aid trick you with mockery;Let no hater of prayer win you away.

8.45.24 Here, for the great wealth of cattle, let them delight you;Drink as a wild bull drinks at a lake.

8.45.25 Proclaim in assemblies those ancient and new deedsThat Vritra-killer performed afar.

8.45.26 Indra drank the pressed soma of Kadru for the thousand-armed one;Here he displayed his manly power.

8.45.27 What he truly knew among Turvasha and Yadu, impossible to deny,He accomplished in the striving for victory.

8.45.28 I praise for you the shared protector of peoples,The savior of a prize rich in cattle.

8.45.29 Like a mighty Ribhu he cannot be turned aside, grown great in Tugrya’s hymns:Indra at the pressing of soma.

8.45.30 He who cleaved the broad mountain open for Trishoka,To let the cattle find their way out.

8.45.31 Whatever you hold in mind, whatever you seek in your joy,Do not deny it, Indra; be merciful.

8.45.32 Even a small deed of one such as you is heard across the earth;Let your mind travel here, Indra.

8.45.33 Yours alone are these fine praises and songs of acclaim,When you show us mercy, Indra.

8.45.34 Do not kill us for a single offense, nor for two nor three,Nor, hero, for many.

8.45.35 For I have feared one like you, fierce and crushing,Wondrous and able to defeat the assailant.

8.45.36 Do not let me know the emptiness of a friend or of a son, rich one;Let your mind turn again toward us.

8.45.37 Which hero, unassailed, has told a friend to abandon his friend?Who wishes to leave us?

8.45.38 So at the bull’s pressing, full of rapture, he moved far and wide,Like a hunting dog through a sheltered valley.

8.45.39 I take hold of your two bay horses, harnessed by words to the joy-bringing chariot,When you give yourself to sacred prayers.

8.45.40 Break every hatred apart; destroy the forces that hinder us;Bring that desirable treasure.

8.45.41 Whatever lies hidden in the stronghold, Indra, or stored in the fortress or the rock,Bring that desirable treasure.

8.45.42 That wealth of yours which all men know from your abundant giving,Bring that desirable treasure.

8.46.4 He is surely well led, the mortal guarded by Maruts and AryamanAnd guileless Mitra.

8.46.5 Blessed by the Adityas, he flourishes with cattle, horses and brave sons,And with riches always desirable.

8.46.6 We ask that Indra for gifts, strong and unafraid;We ask the lord of riches.

8.46.7 In him dwell all courageous forms of help together;Let his bay steeds carry the wealth-laden one to the pressed soma for delight.

8.46.8 That most worthy delight of yours, Indra, most powerful against Vritra,Which wins the sunlight with men and is hardest to cross in battle—

8.46.9 The unconquerable, desired by all, famed and triumphant in contests:Come to our pressings, mightiest lord; let us reach a cattle-rich pen.

8.46.10 As in the past, great generous one, make space for usFor cattle, horses and chariots.

8.46.11 For I find no limit anywhere to your bounty, hero;Give us gifts, generous mace-bearer, who helped our songs with prizes.

8.46.12 The exalted friend makes his voice heard; praised by many, he knows every birth;All men in every age call mighty Indra with raised ladles.

8.46.13 May the rich and generous Vritra-killer stand foremost and protect us in contests.

8.46.14 Sing aloud in the delights of soma to the vast wise hero,To Indra, famed by name and strong, with fitting words.

8.46.15 Give a prize to the body, give wealth, much-invoked one,Give the winner his victory in contests, now and here.

8.46.16 He reigns over all treasures, even over the power of his own strength;Now he shows compassion to the one seeking his help.

8.46.17 We praise you for ample food, generous one, accessible to the traveler;With rites and songs you seek the Maruts of all humanity: I sing to you in reverence.

8.46.18 They descend with their movements upon mountain peaks,To the sacrifice of the deep-voiced and the favor of the thunder-voiced at the rite.

8.46.19 Bring us the breaking of evil thoughts, mightiest Indra,And wealth to join us, impelling our thoughts, foremost inspiration.

8.46.20 Winner, finest winner, fierce and brilliant, keenest in gracious speech,Sovereign who prevails, mighty defender, foremost in the winning of prizes.

8.46.21 Let the godless man who takes the good work away come forth,As Vasha Ashvya received his gift from Prithushravas Kanita at dawn.

8.46.22 Sixty thousand horses belonging to Ashvya; a resting place for twenty hundreds of camels;Ten hundreds of dark mares, ten of three-red mares, and ten thousand cows.

8.46.23 Ten dark horses rich in success, swift, with their tails cut short,Turned the wheel round on its axle.

8.46.24 These are the gifts of generous Prithushravas Kanita:He gave a golden chariot, the most generous patron, and won the highest fame.

8.46.25 Come to our great people, Vayu, for power and might;We have made much ready for your gift, a great gift even now.

8.46.26 He who brings horses at morning and dawn, three times seven times seventy,Comes for giving with these soma pressings, soma-drinker, drinker of bright-purified draughts.

8.46.27 Who made me rejoice at this splendid gift by his own spirit,At the axle and wheel, among the Nahushas, good in deed, best in deed and purpose.

8.46.28 You who rule yourself in beauty at Uchathya’s, Vayu, bathed in ghee,Urged by horses, urged by speed and urged by hounds: this is the swift advance.

8.46.29 Then a delightful present to Ishira: sixty thousand,All fine horses, mighty bulls.

8.46.30 Like cows approaching the herd the geldings come near me; the geldings come near.

8.46.31 And then among the chariots he called out a hundred camels,And twenty hundreds among the white ones.

8.46.32 The poet Taruksha received a hundred servants from Balbutha the Dasa;These people rejoice in you, Vayu, sheltered by Indra, sheltered by gods.

8.46.33 Then the great woman is led to face Vasha Ashvya,Shining with her golden adornments.

8.48.3 We have drunk soma and become immortal; we have reached the light and found the gods;What can hostility do to us now, what mortal malice, immortal one?

8.48.4 Be gentle to our hearts after we drink you, Soma, kind as a father to his son;Like a friend to a friend, far-famed wise one, lengthen our lives so we may live.

8.48.5 These glorious drinks I have drunk protect me, binding me like cattle to a chariot at its joints;Let the soma drops save me from a wrong step on my path and keep weariness away.

8.48.6 Make me shine like fire kindled by friction; sharpen our vision and bring us better fortune;For in your rapture, Soma, I feel I can travel toward prosperity like a rich man.

8.48.7 May we drink what is pressed with your ardent mind, as though from an ancestral treasure;King Soma, extend our lives as the sun extends the days.

8.48.8 King Soma, be merciful to us for well-being; we keep your ordinances, know this;Keen is your skill and anger, drop: do not hand us over to the enemy at his desire.

8.67.5 Keep us alive, Adityas, before the fatal blow;When will you hear our call?

8.67.6 If you have shelter and refuge for the weary soma-presser,Speak for us with that.

8.67.7 Gods, there is broad room beyond distress, a treasure for the innocent,Adityas, beyond strange wrongdoing.

8.67.8 Let no barrier obstruct us; let him choose us for greatness;For Indra is renowned as ruler.

8.67.9 Do not crush us, gods, under the malice of hostile wrongdoersWho deny us help.

8.67.10 And I speak to you, great divine Aditi,For your gracious mercy and protection.

8.67.11 Carry us through deep distress, fierce-mothered one, away from the killer;Let none of our children perish.

8.67.12 For our children’s life, make us a vast space without hindrance,A broad pasture in which to go freely.

8.67.13 They stand at the head of peoples, undeceived and renowned themselves;They guard their ordinances without deceit.

8.67.14 Free us from the jaws of wolves, Adityas,Aditi, as a bound thief is freed from bonds.

8.67.15 Adityas, let that arrow and evil thought fly away from usWithout striking us.

8.67.16 For we have enjoyed your protections since ancient times,Generous Adityas, and enjoy them now.

8.67.17 Even the longtime offender returning to his guilt, wise gods,You restore to life.

8.67.18 Grant us this new prize, Adityas, which frees,As a bound captive is freed from his bond, Aditi.

8.67.19 We have no power to leap past this danger, Adityas;Have mercy on us.

8.67.20 Let not the sun’s weapon or a crafted arrow, Adityas,Strike us before our old age.

8.67.21 Scatter hatred, scatter distress, Adityas, and every joined attack;Tear all disease away from us in every direction.

8.68.2 Vast in power and purpose, lord of strength, with universal insight,You have spread yourself in greatness.

8.68.3 Your two hands, holding the golden mace,Reach across the earth in your vast majesty.

8.68.4 Lord of all men, whose might never bows,I summon you with your aids to the people’s chariots.

8.68.5 For protection they call him, ever growing,In the struggle for the sunlight, in many ways.

8.68.6 The fierce and generous Indra, Richisha,Beyond measure, ruler over riches.

8.68.7 I urge that Indra to drink for great bounty,He who first received praise and is leader of peoples.

8.68.8 No mortal has achieved your friendship, mighty one,No one has reached the limits of your powers.

8.68.9 With you as our helper, mace-bearer, with you yoked beside us,May we win vast wealth and sunlight in battles.

8.68.10 We seek you with sacrifices, you lover of song, and with songs,Indra, as you protected Purumaya in contests.

8.68.11 Sweet is your friendship, sweet your guidance, mace-bearer;The sacrifice deserves to be extended.

8.68.12 Make wide room for our bodies and descendants, wide room for our dwelling;Grant us wide space in which to live.

8.68.13 A wide way for our men and our cattle, a wide way for the chariot:We seek a road on which the gods may come.

8.68.14 Six men come to me, or two and two, overjoyed by soma;Their gifts stand before me, sweet to taste.

8.68.15 From Indrota I received the bay pair belonging to Riksha’s son,The red pair of Ashvamedha.

8.68.16 Well-charioted steeds with fine reins from Atithigva,Beautiful ones from Riksha and Ashvamedha.

8.68.17 Six horses, with the mares, I won from Atithigva and Indrota,Alongside Putakratu.

8.68.18 Among these straight-running horses a red mare shines, strong and spirited,With fine reins and whip.

8.68.19 No mortal, companions in the prize, even seeking to blame you,Can find a fault in you.

8.69.1 Send forth a Trishtubh song as nourishment for the gladdening drop and its champion;Inspired by wisdom, it serves you in the winning of the feast.

8.69.2 You swell the rivers of toothed creatures and the streams of the young;You send nourishment to the lord of our unkillable milk cows.

8.69.3 Those dappled cows milk themselves abundantly, mixing soma for him,Among the clans of gods at the three shining stations of heaven.

8.69.4 Praise Indra, lord of cattle, aloud with song as you know how,The true son, the true lord.

8.69.5 The bay horses have been set loose toward the ruddy mares upon the grass,Where we raise our shared song.

8.69.6 The cows milked a honeyed mixture for mace-bearing Indra,When they found him within the enclosure.

8.69.7 Let us reach Indra’s house at the summit of the red one;After drinking honey let us join together at the friend’s thrice-sevenfold station.

8.69.8 Sing, sing out, Priyamedhas, sing;Let even the children sing, boldly, as at a fortress.

8.69.9 The great drum sounds, the goad rings all around;The yellow instrument rattles for Indra as prayer rises.

8.69.10 As good-milking, unfaltering cows fly toward him,Take hold of the unfailing soma for Indra to drink.

8.69.11 Indra drank, Agni drank, and all the gods rejoiced;Varuna alone remained here; the waters sang to him like mothers licking a calf.

8.69.12 You are blessed among gods, Varuna; your seven riversPour along your height like threads through a hollow reed.

8.69.13 He opened wide the horses well yoked for the generous man;The swift guide appeared, revealed in that surpassing form.

8.69.14 Mighty Indra presses beyond every enemy;He splits apart the young grain cooking inside the mountain.

8.69.15 Like a little boy standing upon a new chariot,He cooked the wild buffalo, the beast, for his father and mother, strong in purpose.

8.69.16 Come, fair-lipped lord of the home, mount your golden chariot;Then let us join the shining, thousand-footed, ruddy one, unhindered and safe.

8.69.17 Reverent men sit beside this self-ruling one;They turn even his well-set purpose toward giving when it is time to go.

8.69.18 The Priyamedhas have followed their ancient dwelling;They have attained the earlier offering, spreading the grass and setting out the oblation.

8.70.1 I sing of the king of peoples, driver of chariots, unwearied,Who overcomes every army, foremost Vritra-killer.

8.70.2 Adorn that Indra for help, Puruhanman, whose golden mace was placed in his hand,In the twin realm of the upholder, radiant as the great sun in heaven.

8.70.3 None can outstrip by deeds the one who made Indra ever growing,Broadly honored by sacrifice, skilled and unconquerable, with daring might.

8.70.4 Unconquerable, fierce and victorious in battles, through whom the great spaces open wide;At his birth the cows lowed together, and the heavens and earths resounded.

8.70.5 Were there a hundred heavens and a hundred earths for you, Indra,Not even a thousand suns or all the worlds would match the mace-bearer at his birth.

8.70.6 You have spread in greatness, bull, mightiest in strength over all;Protect us, generous mace-bearer, in the cattle-rich pen with brilliant aids.

8.70.7 No long-lived mortal has ever attained such nourishment;Even Etasha yokes his steeds, but Indra yokes his bay pair.

8.70.8 That great, generous Indra we seek for his gift;He is called in shallow waters and wilderness and in contests for the prize.

8.70.9 Rise up for us, rich hero, and extend yourself toward great reward;Rise, generous one, for great bounty, rise for great fame, Indra.

8.70.10 You, Indra, loving Truth, satisfy those who praise you;Dwell between the vast realms, mighty one, and strike down the Dasa with your blows.

8.70.11 The man of alien ordinances, inhuman, without sacrifice or devotion to gods:Let the mountain shake him down, the mountain good at crushing the Dasyu.

8.70.12 In your hand, mightiest Indra, gather these gifts for us,As one gathers grains, twice collect them for us.

8.70.13 Friends, seek inspired purpose: how shall we win Shara’s gifts?There is a generous patron whose praise brings reward, who never holds back.

8.70.14 You will be praised with many seers and much ritual grass,For you bestowed the calves, each one separately, at his request.

8.70.15 The generous Shauradeva, grasping my ear, brought us a calf for the three of us,As a patron gives a she-goat to his household.

8.71.13 May Agni give us food in friendship, for he rules all desirable things;For our children and descendants we always seek Agni, rich guardian of our bodies.

8.71.14 Praise Agni of swift flame with songs for aid;Purumilha, ask renowned Agni for riches; Suditi, ask Agni for shelter.

8.71.15 We sing Agni to drive away hatred and to grant well-being and peace;Invoked as guardian in every clan, may he be the seers’ home.

8.72.1 Prepare the offering; the officiant will come and win it anew,Knowing his command.

8.72.2 The priest sits down beside the sharp soma shoot, upon Manu’s seat,Delighting in its companionship.

8.72.3 They seek him among people and seek Rudra beyond with inspired thought;With their tongues they seize what remains.

8.72.4 His bow heats its kin; the nourisher of life has climbed the wood;With his tongue he struck the stone.

8.72.5 A red calf wandering here finds no one to bind him;He goes to praise the motherly one.

8.72.6 And the great harness of his horses, broad and mighty,Shows the chariot’s reins.

8.72.7 Seven milk the one, two let five loose,At the crossing where the river sings.

8.72.8 With ten fingers Indra made Vivasvat’s vessel flow,From heaven’s threefold enclosure.

8.72.9 Threefold in nature, the newer one wheels round the rite;The priests anoint themselves with honey.

8.72.10 Reverently they pour into the well whose wheel rides high,Whose rim is low, circling earth and never failing.

8.72.11 Stones drew near the honey poured upon the lotus,As it was released from the well.

8.72.12 Cows approach the great well, giver of sacrificial waters;Both its ears are golden.

8.72.13 Pour glory upon the pressing, glory across the two worlds;Let its juice sustain the bull.

8.72.14 They know their own dwelling, as calves reunite with their mothers;They come together with their kin.

8.72.15 At the corners they feed and raise a support in heaven;In Indra and Agni, reverence and sunlight.

8.72.16 The rival milked swelling food and sevenfold nourishmentWith Surya’s seven rays.

8.93.3 Let that Indra be our kindly friend, yielding horses, cows and grain,Milking like a broad-flowing stream.

8.93.4 Whatever you rose toward today, Surya, Vritra-killer,All that is in your power, Indra.

8.93.5 When you, growing great, lord of truth, say, “I shall not die,”That too is truly yours.

8.93.6 The somas pressed far off or near:You go to them all, Indra.

8.93.7 We urge Indra on to strike down mighty Vritra;Let him be the bull among bulls.

8.93.8 Indra was made for giving, strongest one ready for delight,Splendid, famed, belonging to soma.

8.93.9 Like a mace assembled by song, powerful and unfailing,The lofty one grew, unconquered.

8.93.10 Make an easy path for us even through hard places, praised Indra, lover of song;You have the power, generous one.

8.93.11 None now diminishes your self-rule or command,Neither god nor unwearied man.

8.93.12 Both worlds worship your unresisted divine strength,Fair-jawed one.

8.93.13 You stored bright milk in dark, reddishAnd dappled cows, Indra.

8.93.14 When all the gods fled before the serpent’s blazing might,They found the beast’s fury.

8.93.15 Then the Vritra-killer became my shelter and showed his manly power,With no born enemy and no conqueror.

8.93.16 Hear our strong host, foremost killer of Vritra,As it seeks mighty bounty.

8.93.17 With this cattle-seeking thought, much-praised one,You appear at every soma pressing.

8.93.18 Let the Vritra-killer be mindful of us, giver of rich gifts;Let the mighty one hear our wishes.

8.93.19 By what help will you rejoice in us, bull?By what gift will you answer your singers?

8.93.20 At whose pressing does the bull rejoice with his team of horses,The Vritra-killer coming to drink soma?

8.93.21 Give us wealth in thousands as you rejoice;Be a guide for the generous giver.

8.93.22 These pressed drinks with their mates, longing, go to the feast;They plunge into the waters and drink.

8.93.23 Desired oblations have been released in the rite, growing strong for Indra,Toward the final bath with power.

8.93.24 Let those two golden-maned bay horses come here for shared delightTo carry you to the offering set out.

8.94.3 That indeed all singers always praise for us;Come, Maruts, to drink soma.

8.94.4 This soma has been pressed: let the Maruts drink it,And the self-ruling Ashvins too.

8.94.5 Mitra drinks, and Aryaman, and Varuna of the pure drink,Born of three dwelling places.

8.94.6 And Indra, rejoicing in this cattle-rich pressed soma,Will delight like the morning priest.

8.94.7 When will the shining lords, pure in skill, sweep away malice,As flowing waters cross a stream?

8.94.8 When today shall I choose the help of you great gods,You whose own glory is wondrous?

8.94.9 Come, Maruts, you who spread out all earthly landsAnd the bright spaces of heaven, to drink soma.

8.94.10 I call you Maruts, pure in skill, from heavenTo drink this soma.

8.95.3 Drink for delight the pressed soma the falcon carried, Indra;For you are lord of all ages, king of peoples.

8.95.5 Indra, he who fashioned a newer, delightful song for you,A knowing mind and insight, ancient and swelling with Truth—

8.95.6 Let us praise Indra, whom our songs and hymns have made great;Seeking his many heroic deeds, we would win them.

8.96.1 Dawns lengthened their course for him, waves of night sang fair words to Indra;For him the seven mother waters stood, rivers safe to cross for men.

8.96.2 Even the thrice-seven peaks of mountains bound together, though pierced and split by weapons,Could not be crossed by god or mortal: the mighty bull made them.

8.96.3 Indra’s iron mace is fitted in its place, the greatest power rests in Indra’s arms;Skillful purposes rest in Indra’s head; his fame sought a place close beside him.

8.96.4 I deem you most worthy of worship, the shaker of unshaken things;I deem you, Indra, a beacon among the strong, a bull among peoples.

8.96.5 When you raise the mace in your arms, Indra, brimming with rapture, to kill the serpent,Mountains sound, cattle sound, and hymns reach Indra.

8.96.6 Let us praise the one who gave birth to these worlds and all beings born after him;By songs let us secure friendship with Indra, and approach the bull with reverence.

8.96.7 Fearing Vritra’s breath, all the gods who were your friends abandoned you;Let your friendship be with the Maruts, Indra: then you will win every battle.

8.96.8 Thrice sixty Maruts, swelling your power, worshipful bands like red dawns,We approach you: assign us our share; with this offering we serve your might.

8.96.9 What sharp weapon, what Marut host, could stand against your mace, Indra?Cast away those weaponless, godless lords with your wheel, you who drink the pressed draught.

8.96.10 Send a fine song to the fierce and powerful one, kindest guardian of cattle;Set many songs before Indra, bearer of songs, for his body: perhaps he will notice.

8.96.11 Send insight to the hymn-bearer, the all-pervading one, like a boat crossing rivers;With thought touch the body of the most renowned and most beloved: perhaps he will notice.

8.96.12 Find out what pleases Indra; praise him with fine song, court him with reverence;Draw near, singer, do not keep silent; let your voice be heard: perhaps he will notice.

8.96.13 A drop descended to the Anshumati; Krishna approached with ten thousand;Indra found him puffing with his powers, and with manly mind laid his troops low.

8.96.14 “I saw the drop moving separately near a bend of the Anshumati River;Like a dark cloud he stood there; I will pursue him, you bulls: fight in the battle.”

8.96.15 Then the drop stayed in Anshumati’s lap, his body blazing;Joined with Brihaspati, Indra defeated the advancing godless clans.

8.96.16 At birth, Indra, you became the enemy of the seven who had no enemies;You found heaven and earth in hiding and set the broad worlds ringing.

8.96.17 With your mace, bold mace-bearer, you struck down that unmatched force;You crushed Shushna with weapons and found the cows by your power, Indra.

8.96.18 Bull of peoples, you became the strong destroyer of Vritras;You released the rivers held fast, conquered the waters ruled by Dasas.

8.96.19 Wise in deed and joyful at pressings, with unbending spirit and abundant as a serpent,Alone the maker of heroic deeds, he is the one they call Vritra-killer, not another.

8.96.20 Let us call that Vritra-killing Indra, guardian of peoples, with finest praise;Our generous champion and advocate, he gives the prize and fame.

8.97.2 Whatever lasting share of horses and cattle you have set aside, Indra,Put it with the sacrificer who presses soma and gives gifts, not with a Pani.

8.97.3 The man who sleeps without ordinance, Indra, godless and drowsing,Let him waste his wealth through his own acts; take his riches and give them to another.

8.97.4 Whether you are far away, mighty Vritra-killer, or near,The soma-presser courts you with day-bright songs and flowing words, Indra.

8.97.5 Whether you are in heaven’s bright realm or on the summit above the sea,In an earthly home or in the midair, greatest Vritra-killer, come.

8.97.6 Soma-drinker, lord of strength, delight in our pressed somas;With gifts, gracious words and abundant riches, Indra, bring us joy.

8.97.7 Do not turn away from us, Indra; share the feast with us;You are our help, you alone our friend: do not turn away from us, Indra.

8.97.8 Sit beside us, Indra, at the pressing and drink the honey;Grant great aid to your singer, generous one, beside us at the pressing.

8.97.9 Neither gods nor mortals have reached you, mace-bearer;You overcome all beings by strength; neither gods have reached you.

8.97.10 Together they fashioned and bore Indra to rule, a hero conquering all armies,Foremost in purpose, fierce and chosen, strongest and most powerful.

8.97.11 The Rebhas together sounded forth for Indra to drink soma,Lord of sunlight, that he might grow; by strength and help he keeps the ordinance.

8.97.12 They bow like a wheel’s rim before his sight, inspired ones call to the ram;Shining and guileless, you whisper your verses into the powerful one’s ear.

8.97.13 That Indra I call again and again, fierce and generous, always sustaining his unresisted strength;Most generous and worthy of worship, let him turn to our songs, make every road to wealth easy, mace-bearer.

8.97.14 You know how to destroy fortresses, Indra, with your force, mightiest one;Because of you, mace-bearer, all worlds, heaven and earth, tremble in fear.

8.97.15 May this truth protect me, brilliant hero Indra; carry me through many troubles as through water, mace-bearer;When, king, will you give us your far-reaching, coveted wealth?

8.98.10 Bring us strength, Indra, and heroic power, hundred-powered seer,And a champion who overcomes armies.

8.98.11 For you became our father, lord of wealth, our mother too, hundred-powered one;Therefore we seek your favor.

8.99.4 Praise the unfailing giver of treasure: blessed are Indra’s gifts;He does not resent the worshiper’s desire, but urges his mind toward generosity.

8.99.5 In your advances, Indra, you overtake every rival;Destroyer of curses, conqueror of all, you are born to win: defeat those who strive against us.

8.99.6 The two worlds followed your racing strength like mothers their child;All your opponents broke before your fury when you overcame Vritra, Indra.

8.99.7 From here I call for your help the ageless leader, never driven away,Swift winner and finest charioteer, unconquered, who strengthened Tugrya.

8.99.8 The unmatched rescuer, born of strength, hundred-powered with a hundred helps,We call our common Indra for aid, rich in gifts and impelling wealth.

8.100.6 “Indra, all those deeds of yours at the pressings deserve telling, generous one, done for the soma-presser;You opened the faraway, long-hoarded treasure to Sharabha, kinsman of seers.”

8.100.7 “Run apart now, scatter, for none here can guard you;Indra has driven his mace into Vritra’s vital place.”

8.100.8 Swift as thought, the falcon crossed the iron fortress;Reaching heaven, he brought soma to the mace-bearer.

8.100.9 The mace lay deep in the ocean, covered over with water;The streams flowing before him dutifully bring tribute to him.

8.100.10 “When Speech speaks in unconscious creatures, she sits as the delightful sovereign of the gods;She has milked out four nourishing streams: where has her highest place gone?”

8.100.11 The gods gave birth to divine Speech, voiced by beasts of every shape;May that delightful milch cow, Speech, yielding food and strength, come to us well praised.

8.100.12 “Friend Vishnu, stride farther out; give space in heaven for the mace to spread;Let us kill Vritra and release the rivers; at Indra’s command let them flow free.”

Hymn 8.101 — Seer: Jamadagni Bhargava. Deities: Mitra and Varuna; the Adityas; the Ashvins; Vayu; Surya; Ushas; purifying Soma; the cow. Meter: Pragatha, Gayatri, Satobrihati, Trishtubh.

8.101.1 That mortal indeed prospers in his devotion to the godsWho has now made oblations to Mitra and Varuna for their protection.

8.101.2 With sovereignty most ample, wide of vision, kings whose fame reaches far,They speed their wonders like charioteers, together with the rays of Surya.

8.101.3 That swift messenger of yours, Mitra and Varuna, ran forth,Iron-headed, light in his exhilaration.

8.101.4 From one who will not answer inquiry, return our summons, or engage in speech,Protect us today from conflict; shelter us beneath your arms.

8.101.5 To Mitra, to Aryaman of true companionship, rich in Truth,And to protective Varuna, sing a welcome song of praise among the kings.

8.101.6 They urge the ruddy, victorious one, the single radiant son of three mothers;Undeceived, the immortals survey the dwellings of mortals.

8.101.7 Let my words rise, and let their splendor be greatest;Come both, Ashvins, together to partake of the offerings.

8.101.8 We call upon your demon-free gift, you two rich in prizes;Extend the forward sacrifice, heroes, praised by Jamadagni.

8.101.9 Come, Vayu, to our heaven-reaching sacrifice with gracious thoughts;Here within the filter, being purified above, this bright soma comes to you.

8.101.10 The officiant goes by the straightest paths to take the offerings;Then, lord of teams, drink for us both the pure soma mixed with milk.

8.101.11 Indeed you are great, Surya, great in strength, great son of Aditi;Your grandeur, being great, is praised: truly, god, you are great.

8.101.12 Indeed, Surya, you are great in glory; truly, god, you are great;Your divine majesty, set foremost among the gods, is boundless unconquerable light.

8.101.13 This low-voiced singer, fashioned in a ruddy form,Appears like a painted figure, moving amid the ten arms.

8.101.14 Three generations have passed beyond; others have entered around the sun;The mighty one stood amid the worlds, and the purifying one entered the golden lights.

8.101.15 Mother of the Rudras, daughter of the Vasus, sister of the Adityas, navel of immortality:I proclaim to discerning people: do not kill the guiltless cow, Aditi.

8.101.16 She knows speech and utters her voice, approaching with every inspired thought;The divine cow goes among the gods: let no mortal of small understanding harm her.

Hymn 8.102 — Seer: Prayoga of the Bhrigus. Deity: Agni, son of Brihaspati, also called Pavaka, or one of the sons of Strength, Grihapati and Yavishtha.

8.102.1 You, Agni, grant abundant life to the giver, god,A young sage, lord of the house.

8.102.2 With our praise, Agni, eager to serve the gods,Bring them with your discerning radiance.

8.102.3 With you yoked beside us, most impelling, ever youthful,We shall advance to win the prize.

8.102.4 Pure as for Aurva and Bhrigu, as for Apnavana, I summonAgni, whose garment is the sea.

8.102.5 I summon the sage roaring like wind, a force thundering like Parjanya,Agni, whose garment is the sea.

8.102.6 As I summon Savitar's impulse and Bhaga's enjoyment, I summonAgni, whose garment is the sea.

8.102.7 To Agni, your increaser of sacrifices, most abundant,Come near, to the powerful grandson.

8.102.8 May he become ours, as the divine craftsman shapes forms,By the will of this glorious one.

8.102.9 This Agni reigns over every splendor among the gods;May he come to us bearing prizes.

8.102.10 Praise here the most illustrious of all priests,Agni, the first at sacrifices.

8.102.11 The vigorous one of cleansing flame, the eldest in our homes,Shines, most far-famed.

8.102.12 Praise him, sage, strong as a prize-winning racehorse,Like a friend who guides his people.

8.102.13 Your sister songs, directed toward you and furnished with oblations,Have taken their stand at the front of the wind.

8.102.14 Where the ritual grass is spread in three layers, standing firm,Even the waters have planted their feet.

8.102.15 The place of the generous god, defended by invincible aid,Is lovely to see, like Surya.

8.102.16 Agni, god glowing with clarified butter and your own flame,Bring the gods and worship them.

8.102.17 The mothers bore you, sage; the gods brought you forth, Angiras,Immortal bearer of offerings.

8.102.18 You, discerning sage Agni, chosen messenger,Bearer of offerings, they seated here.

8.102.19 I have no cow untouched by harm, nor axe to cut the forest;Yet such as this I bring to you.

8.102.20 Whatever bits of wood, Agni, we set before you,Accept them, ever youthful one.

8.102.21 Whatever the little insect eats, whatever the ant creeps over,Let all that be clarified butter for you.

8.102.22 The mortal who kindles Agni should unite his mind with insight;I kindle Agni with shining fires.

Hymn 8.103 — Seer: Sobhari Kanva. Deity: Agni; in verse 14, Agni and the Maruts. Meter: Brihati, with Viraj in verse 5, Satobrihati in verses 7, 9, 11, and 13, Kakubh in verses 8 and 12, a shorter measure in verse 10, and Anushtubh in verse 14.

8.103.1 He has appeared, best finder of the path, in whom they set their ordinances;May our songs reach newborn Agni, the growth of the Arya.

8.103.2 Agni, gift of the gods, strides mightily toward the gods;He spreads across mother earth and stands upon heaven's summit.

8.103.3 Before his deeds the peoples tremble as he performs them;Worship Agni with inspired thoughts, who wins thousands and wins wisdom by his own power.

8.103.4 When you lead to wealth the mortal who gives to you, generous one,He wins, Agni, a heroic son who chants praise, increasing thousands by himself.

8.103.5 He breaks through even the stronghold, wins the prize with his horse, and gains unfading fame;In you, rich god, we place all blessings among the gods forever.

8.103.6 The delightful priest who gives every treasure to humankind:To Agni the first songs of praise stream forth like vessels of honey.

8.103.7 Like a chariot horse, generous one, worshipers of the gods polish him with song;Guard both our children and our offspring, wondrous lord of the clan; bring the wealth of the generous safely across.

8.103.8 Sing to the most bountiful, the great keeper of Truth, whose flame shines bright;Come near with praises to Agni.

8.103.9 Well-kindled, glorious, honored with offerings, the generous one clothes himself in heroic fame;May his newest favor come toward us bearing prizes.

8.103.10 Praise the dearest of dear ones, this guest,Agni, master of chariots.

8.103.11 He knows what is spoken and what is unspoken, worthy of sacrifice and turning with wealth;Like waves on a downward slope, his gifts cannot be crossed by those striving for prizes with insight.

8.103.12 May our guest Agni, the generous one so widely praised, not be angry with us,He who is a fine priest at a fine sacrifice.

8.103.13 May those who come to you with good words not fail, Agni, generous one, whatever gods accompany them;For even the singer with offerings asks you to carry messages at the well-ordered sacrifice.

8.103.14 Come, Agni, friend of the Maruts, with Rudra's sons to drink soma;Delight in Sobhari's beautiful hymn, shining hero.

9.66.23 Cleansed by men, rich in nourishment and set within nourishment,the discerning drop races ahead.

9.66.24 The purifier gave birth to vast Truth and radiant light,striking away black darkness.

9.66.25 As the golden purifier destroys foes, bright streams pour forth,swift and blazing with quick fire.

9.66.26 The purifier, foremost charioteer, brightest among the bright,is golden, shining amid the Marut host.

9.66.27 By his beams the purifier shall gain the prize, greatest winner of prizes,granting the singer heroic strength.

9.66.28 Pressed, the drop crossed the sheep's fleece and the filter;purifying, the drop goes to Indra.

9.66.29 This Soma plays on the cow's hide among the pressing stones,calling to Indra for rapture.

9.66.30 With your shining milk brought from heaven, flowing one,show us mercy that we may live.

9.67.11 This Soma flows like clarified butter and honey for the braided-haired one;may he partake among our maidens.

9.67.12 For you, O radiant one, this pressed drink flows pure like clarified butter;may he partake among our maidens.

9.67.13 Creature of poets' speech, flow in your stream, Soma;you are the giver of treasures among gods.

9.67.14 He races into the vessels; the hawk plunges into his armor,roaring among the wooden vats.

9.67.15 Your pressed juice, Soma, is poured around into the vessel;he flows like a hawk in flight.

9.67.16 Flow pure, Soma, bringing joy, sweetest of all, for Indra.

9.67.20 Struck and praised, he plunges through the filter,slayer of demons, through the sheep's fleece.

Hymn 9.68 — Seer: Vatsapri Bhalandana. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 10, Trishtubh.

9.68.1 The honeyed drops streamed toward the god like milk cows to their calves,speaking from their udders on the grass, the bright ones donned the flowing one's robe.

9.68.2 Roaring, the golden one has cried out to the ancient heights, loosening them in his sweetness;passing through the filter in broad motion, the god dons his arrows as armor.

9.68.3 The rapture that measured the two conjoined realms, swelling undiminished with nourishing milk,discerned the two vast spaces beyond, moving forward and gathering undying might.

9.68.4 He moves between two mothers, seeking the prize of waters; wise, he swells his station by his own law;the stalk is colored with barley when with men and kin he joins, guarding his head.

9.68.5 With skill and thought the seer is born, Truth's embryo hidden in the farther twin;the youthful pair first came to birth, revealing their hidden origin, their half raised high.

9.68.6 The wise discerned the delightful one's form, when the hawk brought the drink from afar;they cleanse the thriving stalk in the rivers, desired and moving around in song.

9.68.7 Ten women cleanse you, pressed Soma, set among the seers' inspired thoughts;through wool and divine invocations, led by men, you stride to win the prize.

9.68.8 The songs of the wise praise the moving, beloved Soma, seated in goodness;with honeyed stream and heaven's wave the immortal sends forth wealth-winning speech.

9.68.9 This Soma fills the whole expanse of heaven and settles purified in vessels;washed with waters and milk, pressed by stones, the purifying drop finds the beloved open space.

9.68.10 So flow, Soma, poured around us, granting the most splendid vitality;let us invoke Heaven and Earth without hostility; gods, grant us riches and brave sons.

Hymn 9.69 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verses 9–10, Trishtubh.

9.69.1 Like an arrow laid upon the bow is thought set forth; like a calf it hastens to its mother's udder;she milks at first approach like a broad-flowing stream; Soma is sent forth under his ordinances.

9.69.2 Thought comes near and joins; honey is poured; delight awakens in the mouth;the streaming purifier, like a line of warriors, flows as a honeyed drop through the wool.

9.69.3 Desiring a bride, he flows over the sheep's fleece, loosening Aditi's granddaughters as he seeks Truth;the golden one's sacred rapture has cried aloud; the buffalo, sharpening his strength, shines forth.

9.69.4 The bull bellows and the cows respond, goddesses approach the god's prepared abode;Soma passes through the white sheep's fleece and wraps himself in a washed garment.

9.69.5 The immortal golden one clothes himself in an unstained gleaming garment as he is cleansed;he makes heaven's back his covering, the vats his cloudlike spread.

9.69.6 Like the sun's rays, rushing and intoxicating, the streams rise together from sleep;they flow around the outstretched thread, yet no station flows without Indra.

9.69.7 Swift as a river running downhill, the bull's cascading raptures have found a path;bring peace to our home, to two-footed and four-footed life; let prizes and peoples stay with us, Soma.

9.69.8 Flow to us with wealth and gold, with horses, cattle, grain and heroic sons;for you, Soma, are my fathers, heaven's summits, setting forth and making strength.

9.69.9 These flowing Somas journey to Indra as chariots rush toward victory;pressed, the golden ones pass through the sheep's filter, shedding their covering and seeking the rain.

9.69.10 Flow for mighty Indra, drop, merciful, faultless, devourer of enemies;bring radiant treasures to the singer; Heaven and Earth, aid us with the gods.

Hymn 9.70 — Seer: Renu Vaishvamitra. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 10, Trishtubh.

9.70.1 Three times seven cows milked him the true mixture in the primeval sky;he made four other beautiful worlds his attire when he grew by Truth.

9.70.2 Seeking immortality's sweetness, with his poetry he opened both heavens wide;he wrapped himself in the mightiest waters, when they knew the god's seat by his fame.

9.70.3 Let his signs be undying and unassailable through both his births;through them he purifies himself in human and divine strength, and thought takes hold of the king.

9.70.4 Cleansed by ten skillful hands, he measured forth among the mothers;drinking lovely immortality's ordinances, he sees both peoples with human-seeing eyes.

9.70.5 Cleansed and set forth for power and nourishment, he delights in both ends of Heaven and Earth;the bull drives away wicked thoughts by strength, pointing like an archer against obstacles.

9.70.6 Like a bright calf seeking his two mothers, he cries out with a sound like the Maruts';knowing the first Truth, the wise one chose the sunlit world for praise.

9.70.7 Terrible, the bull bellows with his might, sharpening both tawny horns in insight;Soma sits in the well-made resting place, and a cowhide becomes his cloak.

9.70.8 Pure and cleansing his spotless body, the golden one rushed over the sheep's back;welcomed by Mitra, Varuna and Vayu, the threefold honey is fashioned by skilled hands.

9.70.9 Flow for the gods' feast, bull Soma; enter Indra's heart, your dwelling;carry us past evil before it strikes, knowing the paths and answering those who ask directions.

9.70.10 Like a harnessed horse flow toward the prize; flow into Indra's belly, O drop;like a boat carry us across the river, wise one; like a warrior fighting, save us from scorn.

Hymn 9.71 — Seer: Rishabha Vaishvamitra. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 9, Trishtubh.

9.71.1 Released southward, he reaches the seat of strength; awake, he wards away deceit and demons;the golden one draws heaven's shimmering veil as his garment upon the vats, cleansing the sacred utterance.

9.71.2 Roaring like a host of men he comes in strength, laying aside his dark, lordly color;he sheds his covering and reaches his father's dwelling, making a new garment for himself.

9.71.3 Pressed by stones, he flows between hands, becoming a bull; the sky trembles with inspired thought;he rejoices, unites and acts through song, washes in waters, and is worshiped all around.

9.71.4 Around the shining, mountain-grown child of strength they pour the honey of the high house;there well-offered cows mix their foremost milk within his udder.

9.71.5 The ten sisters have polished him like a chariot of two shafts in Aditi's lap;he bellows and approaches the secret station of the cow, which his mothers brought forth.

9.71.6 Like a hawk the god seeks his golden nest, a resting place fashioned by thought;on the ritual grass they send forth the dear one with song; like a horse he approaches the gods for sacrifice.

9.71.7 The tawny seer, manifest beyond heaven, the bull of three backs, has found the cows;leading thousands, traveling afar, he shines like a singer across many dawns.

9.71.8 His color becomes a dazzling form; where he rests, Truth drives deceits away;with his own law he goes among divine people, joining fine praise and the foremost cows.

9.71.9 Like a bull circling the herd he bellows, bearing the radiances of the sun;a heavenly bird looking down on earth, Soma surveys the generations with his wisdom.

Hymn 9.72 — Seer: Harimanta Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.72.1 They cleanse the golden one as the ruddy is yoked; Soma is anointed with cows' milk in the vessel;he raises speech and sets thought moving: how many are the beloved circles of the much-praised one?

9.72.2 Many wise men speak together when they milk Soma into Indra's belly;the skillful men cleanse the desirable honey with their ten fingers dwelling together.

9.72.3 Untiring, he goes beyond the cows and the beloved sound of the Sun's daughter;the bird brought him delight, and he dwells with his two sister kin.

9.72.4 Shaken by men and pressed with stones, dear on the grass, ancient lord of cows, a timely drop;rich in insight, accomplishing men's sacrifice, Soma flows pure for you, Indra, by thought.

9.72.5 Pressed and driven by men's arms, Soma flows in his stream for you, Indra, by his own law;you filled ritual wisdom and inspired thoughts; the golden one settled like a bird in wooden vats.

9.72.6 The wise and inspired workers milk the unfailing, thundering stalk;cows and thoughts gather in the womb of Truth, the dwelling of the ever-new.

9.72.7 At earth's navel, heaven's mighty support, lifted amid waves of rivers,Indra's mace, the all-rich bull, Soma flows sweet and exhilarating to his heart.

9.72.8 Flow through earth's whole expanse, generous wise one, giving to the singer who shakes you;do not let us lose our share of riches; may we win abundant golden wealth.

9.72.9 Give us a hundred gifts of horses, O drop, a thousand gifts of cattle and gold;bring great, rich nourishment and come to us, flowing one, upon the singer's song.

Hymn 9.73 — Seer: Pavitra Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.73.1 They sang at the mouth of the sounding drop; the kindred gathered at Truth's womb;he made three heads of the lord to grasp, and the boats of truth carried good deeds across.

9.73.2 In ordered ranks the bulls bellowed; upon the river's wave the seekers trembled;with honeyed streams they gave birth to song, increasing Indra's beloved body.

9.73.3 Those who have the filter sit around the word; their ancient father guards their ordinance;Varuna enclosed the great sea, and the wise sought a foothold among supports.

9.73.4 With honeyed tongues they sang unceasing on heaven's summit over the thousand-streamed filter;his swift watchers never blink; step by step the snare-bearers set their bridges.

9.73.5 Those who sang above father and mother, burning with verse and consuming the lawless,blow away through their cunning the black skin of those who hate Indra from heaven's expanse.

9.73.6 Those who sang from the ancient measure, bearers of hymns, thoughts of the impetuous one:the blind and deaf laughed; evil-doers cannot cross the path of Truth.

9.73.7 Across the outstretched thousand-streamed filter the wise purify their speech;their Rudras, swift and guileless watchers, see clearly and see men.

9.73.8 Guardian of Truth, undeceivable and wise, he placed three filters within his heart;knowing, he sees all worlds and hurls the unwelcomed lawless into the pit.

9.73.9 The thread of Truth is stretched across the filter, at the tongue's tip by Varuna's art;even the wise can only reach toward it; the powerless falls into the pit.

Hymn 9.74 — Seer: Kakshivan Dairghatamasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati; verse 8, Trishtubh.

9.74.1 Like a newborn child he cries out in the wood, a ruddy racer seeking the sunlit prize;he joins heaven's seed and swells with milk: we seek from him good thought and shelter far and wide.

9.74.2 He is heaven's pillar, its support spread wide; the full stalk circles everywhere;he has encompassed both great worlds, held them together, and gathered their food, the seer.

9.74.3 Great is his stream, well-fashioned Soma honey, Aditi's wide cow-pasture seeking Truth;he rules the rain, the shining bull, leader of waters, our aid and worthy of song.

9.74.4 Rich in life, the cloud is milked for butter and milk; Truth's navel is born immortal;generous men together please him, and the restless pour their offerings upon his resting place.

9.74.5 The stalk cried out, joined with the wave, making the divine fleece swell for man;he sets a child in Aditi's lap, by which we gain children and descendants.

9.74.6 May those unceasing streams in the thousand-streamed filter bear offspring in the third realm;four navels set beneath heaven bear immortal oblation dripping with butter.

9.74.7 He makes a white form as he seeks the prize; generous, mighty Soma knows the worlds;joining thought and work, he opened the mountain's vessel of heaven.

9.74.8 Then the victorious racer stepped into the white vessel anointed with milk;the god-seeking drove him with thought toward Kakshivan for a hundred winters of cattle.

9.74.9 Your juice mixed with waters, Soma, flows through the woolen fleece;cleansed by poets, most exhilarating purifier, become sweet for Indra to drink.

Hymn 9.75 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.75.1 He flows toward beloved names set for delight, names in which the mighty one grows;the discerning one has mounted the great sun's chariot, moving everywhere.

9.75.2 Truth's tongue flows with dear honey, unconquerable speaker and lord of inspired thought;the son sets his parents' secret name in the third bright realm of heaven.

9.75.3 Shining, he has cried into the vats, guided by men into the golden vessel;the milkers of immortality sing to him; on the threefold height he shines at dawn.

9.75.4 Pressed by stones and laid down for delight by thoughts, he lights his two mother worlds, pure;he flows through the sheep's hair, his honeyed streams swelling day by day.

9.75.5 Flow all around, Soma, for well-being; cleansed by men, clothe yourself in the mixture;with your unbridled, soaring raptures spur Indra to give his gifts.

Hymn 9.76 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.76.1 The maker's juice flows, support of heaven, skill of gods, praised with joy by men;released, the golden one like a horse among warriors freely gathers strength in the rivers.

9.76.2 Like a warrior he takes weapons in hand, a charioteer seeking the sun in cattle quests;stirring Indra's force, the drop urged by workers is anointed by the wise.

9.76.3 Flowing Soma, mighty in your wave, enter Indra's bellies;swell our two worlds like a lightning-cloud, and by thought measure enduring prizes for us.

9.76.4 King of all, he flows to see the sun, inspiring the seer's thought of Truth;washed by the sun's rays, he is father of thoughts, master of every poetic work.

9.76.5 Like a bull circling herds you flow around the vessel, roaring in the waters' lap;you flow most exhilarating for Indra, that aided by you we may win in battle.

Hymn 9.77 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.77.1 He has cried in the honeyed vessel, Indra's mace, lovelier than beauty;immortality's good milkers flow toward him, dripping butter, lowing like cows for milk.

9.77.2 He flows, the ancient one the hawk, impelled, brought from heaven across the expanse;he unites with honey, trembling in fear of the archer Krishanu's mind.

9.77.3 May these drops, ancient and later, run for our great cattle-rich prize;lovely as serpents, fit to behold, they have loved each sacred word and oblation.

9.77.4 May this knowing drop overcome our adversaries, much praised with constant mind;he placed the seed in the mighty one's seat and flows toward the cows' wide-open pen.

9.77.5 The maker's juice flows, fashioner of heaven; great, undeceived Varuna is borne away;Mitra is pressed among peoples for the rite, crying like a stallion among herds.

Hymn 9.78 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.78.1 Giving birth to speech, the king streams forth, clad in water and reaching toward the cattle;he seizes dirt from the sheep's body and goes purified to the gods' appointed place.

9.78.2 For Indra men pour you around, Soma; you are anointed in wood, a wave seeing men, a seer;you have many roads to travel, a thousand bay horses seated in vessels.

9.78.3 The sea-born water nymphs flowed toward wise Soma as they sat within;they drive him to the house's pinnacle, seeking the purifier's undying favor.

9.78.4 Our Soma wins cattle, chariots, gold, the sun, waters, and thousands as he flows;the gods made this sweetest, ruddy, life-giving drop their rapture to drink.

Hymn 9.79 — Seer: Kavi Bhargava. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.79.2 Let the intoxicating drops flow for us, by whom we urge our horses to riches;beyond any mortal's deception may we gain treasures everywhere.

9.79.3 The foe is a foe even among one's own, a wolf even among strangers;like thirst in the desert, these evil thoughts have gathered: strike them, purifying Soma.

9.79.4 The highest summit of heaven received your navel; your shoots grew upon earth's peak;the stones eat you on the cow's hide; the wise milk you in waters with their hands.

9.79.5 So the foremost attendants sharpen your beautiful, noble juice, O drop;carry us past every slander, purifier, and let your strength and beloved rapture shine.

Hymn 9.80 — Seer: Vasu Bharadvaja. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.81.1 The beautiful waves of purifying Soma go to Indra's belly;raised with curds and glory, pressed for the gift of cows, they thrilled the hero.

Hymn 9.83 — Seer: Pavitra Angirasa. Deity: Soma. Meter: Jagati.

9.83.1 Your filter is stretched out, Brihaspati; sovereign, you move through every limb;the unheated body does not reach it raw; only those made ready attain it as bearers.

9.83.2 The burning filter spreads across the station of heaven, its glowing threads extend;swift ones aid its purifier, standing in thought upon heaven's back.

9.83.3 The foremost spotted bull lit up the dawns; prize-seeking, he supports the worlds;the masters of art measured them by his art; the fathers who see men set the embryo within.

9.83.4 The Gandharva guards his station thus, wondrous guardian of the gods' births;the lord of the hoard lays hold of corruption, and the most righteous taste honey.

9.83.5 Bearing oblations, you circle the rite, clothed in cloud, toward the great divine dwelling;king on a filter-chariot, you mount the prize; with a thousand points you win great renown.

9.85.6 Flow sweet for your heavenly birth, sweet for Indra of gladly summoned name;sweet for Mitra, Varuna, Vayu, and Brihaspati, honeyed and invincible.

9.85.7 Ten fingers cleanse the racer in the vessel; the poets' thoughts send forth their voices;flowing drops run to fine praise and enter Indra, full of exhilaration.

9.85.8 Flow toward heroic power, purifier, toward wide pasture and great encompassing shelter;may no enemy's pursuit govern us, drop: through you let us win wealth after wealth.

9.85.9 The wise bull stood above the sky, the poet lit its bright realms;roaring, the king crosses the filter, milking heaven's nectar for men to see.

9.85.10 On heaven's summit honey-tongued singers ceaselessly milk the mountain-born bull;in waters and in the ocean the growing drop enters the filter upon a river's honeyed wave.

9.85.11 Upon the summit many ancient songs of seekers formed around the descending bird;thoughts lick the crying child, the golden bird dwelling upon earth.

9.85.12 The Gandharva stood aloft on heaven's summit, beholding all its forms;the light flashed with bright flame; pure, he lit the two mother worlds.

9.86.1 Your swift, thought-driven raptures stream, purifier, as runners of nimble birth;heavenly birds, honeyed, most exhilarating drops gather around the vessel.

9.86.2 Your swift intoxicating raptures stream separately like chariot teams;honeyed drops and waves approach mace-bearing Indra like a cow with milk for her calf.

9.86.3 Like a driven horse, flow toward the prize, sun-finder, into the vessel born of heaven's stone;a purifying bull on the woolen height, Soma flows to nourish Indra's power.

9.86.4 Your horse-swift, thought-impelled heavenly streams flow into the vessel with milk;the ancient seers stream within, the inspired makers who cleanse you, aspiring seer.

9.86.5 Signs of you, all-seeing maker, surround every dwelling of the universe;Soma, you flow through your laws, reach everywhere and rule as lord of every world.

9.86.6 The rays and signs of the eternal purifier spread on either side;as the golden one is cleaned upon the filter, he settles in the vessels at his fixed seats.

9.86.7 The rite's beacon flows, skilled in sacrifice; Soma reaches the gods' appointed place;in a thousand streams he flows around the vessel, a bull roaring across the filter.

9.86.8 The king enters the sea of rivers, joins the wave of waters, abiding among streams;the purifier mounted the sheep's height at earth's navel, support of mighty heaven.

9.86.9 Thunderous as heaven's peak he roared, he whose laws embrace earth and heaven;seeking Indra's friendship he flows, purified Soma settling in the vessels.

9.86.10 The light of sacrifice flows, beloved honey, father of gods, all-rich begetter;he sets secret treasure between the two self-ruling ones, most exhilarating, powerful juice.

9.86.11 Roaring, the racer flows into the vessel, heaven's lord, hundred-streamed, all-seeing;the golden bull rests at Mitra's dwellings, cleansed with sheep's wool and rivers.

9.86.12 The purifier flows at the head of rivers, at the head of speech, foremost among cows;he claims the great treasure at the head of the prize, a well-armed bull cleansed by pressers.

9.86.13 This mindful bird, set upon wool, streamed in his purifying wave;by your design between the worlds, poet, Soma flows pure for you, Indra, through thought.

9.86.14 Clad in a heaven-touching sacred robe, filling midair, stationed in the worlds,he stepped across the sky, finding sunlight; he desires his ancient father.

9.86.15 He gives broad shelter to the people who have attained his first dwelling;from his station in highest heaven he moves toward all beings, brought together.

9.86.16 The drop has gone to Indra's resting place; a friend does not break his word to a friend;like a young man among women Soma flows by hundredfold paths into the vessel.

9.86.17 Your thoughts longing for delight, eager for praise, have entered the common dwellings;wise songs praise Soma, and cows come near with milk.

9.86.18 Flow to us abundant and unceasing prepared food, Soma, purifying drop;may it milk for us three times a day without stopping, rich in people, prizes, honey, and heroes.

9.86.19 The discerning bull of thoughts flows across day and dawn of heaven;he has made the vessels cry out with river water, entering Indra's heart through wise men.

9.86.20 The ancient seer flows among sages, guided by men, crying all around the vats;generating Trita's name, he pours honey to forge friendship with Indra and Vayu.

9.86.21 Purifying, this one lit the dawns, opened paths for the rivers;this Soma milked the mixture three times sevenfold and flows sweet and exhilarating to the heart.

9.86.22 Flow, Soma, among heavenly dwellings, drop, into the vessel through the filter;seated roaring in Indra's belly, driven by men, you lifted the sun into heaven.

9.86.23 Pressed with stones, you flow through the filter, drop, entering Indra's bellies;you became discerning, seeing men, Soma, and opened the cow-pen for the Angirases.

9.86.24 Inspired poets rejoiced in you, flowing Soma, seeking aid;the bird brought you from heaven, drop, adorned with every thought.

9.86.25 Seven cows bellow toward the golden one cleansed in the woolen fleece with his wave;in the waters' lap men and bulls cried to the seer in the womb of Truth.

9.86.26 Purifying, the drop plunges past enemies, making all roads easy for the sacrificer;clothed in milk, the golden poet races through the fleece like a playful horse.

9.86.27 Ceaseless hundredfold streams, longing for water, shout to the golden one;fingers cleanse him wrapped in milk upon heaven's third bright height.

9.86.28 These offspring of heavenly seed are yours; you rule every world;all this world is in your power, purifier; you are the first establisher of dwellings, drop.

9.86.29 You are the sea, all-knowing seer; these five directions belong to your ordinance;you have encompassed heaven and earth; purifier, the sun and the lights are yours.

9.86.30 Within the filter of midair's ordinance you are purified for the gods, Soma;the first seekers took hold of you, and every world is bridled for you.

9.86.31 The singer crosses the sheep's fleece, the golden bull crying in the woods;eager thoughts sing together, licking the crying child.

9.86.32 He wrapped himself with sun-rays, stretching a threefold thread to be known;bringing new commands of Truth, the lord of peoples approaches the appointed place.

9.86.33 King of rivers, lord of heaven, he flows crying along the paths of Truth;the golden one is poured in a thousand streams, purifying, giving birth to speech, bearing wealth.

9.86.34 Purifier, you flow across the mighty flood, brilliant as the sun over fleeces;purified by hands, pressed by men with stones, you race to a great and wealthy prize.

9.86.35 You flow toward food and strength, purifier, settling like a hawk in wooden vats;pressed, an intoxicating draught for Indra, discerning support nearest heaven.

9.86.36 The seven sisters, mothers, surround the newly born child, victorious and wise,the heavenly Gandharva of the waters, seeing men: Soma, you rule every world.

9.86.37 Ruler, you span these worlds, O drop, yoking bright-winged tawny steeds;let them pour for you honeyed milk and butter; let peoples stand within your ordinance, Soma.

9.86.38 You see men everywhere, Soma, purifying bull, and flow through all these realms;flow with gold and treasures for us, that we may live in the worlds.

9.86.39 Flow, finder of cows, riches, gold, giver of seed, stationed among worlds;you are rich in heroes and know all, Soma; to you the poets come with song.

9.86.40 The wave of honey rose above the forests; clad in waters, the buffalo plunged through;the king mounted the filter-chariot toward the prize, and with a thousand points wins great renown.

9.86.41 He raises life-giving songs of praise, sustaining all, bearing all through every day;drop, when drunk, ask Indra for sacred utterance, offspring, wealth and a home with horses for us.

9.86.42 The desirable golden rapture, first among days, gives insight with insight through the light;he travels between two peoples, the human and the divine, bearing their praise.

9.86.43 They anoint, adorn and unite him; they lick his wisdom, anoint him with honey;those with golden sieves grasp the soaring bull above the river's swelling breath.

9.86.44 Sing to the discerning purifier; like a great stream the drink flows;like a snake he slips through old skin, like a playing horse the golden bull ran on.

9.86.45 The king first among cows is praised, measuring days, stationed in worlds;his golden ocean flows, dripping butter, fair to see, his chariot made of light, home of riches.

9.86.46 The raised pillar of heaven has been released in rapture; threefold he circles the worlds;thoughts lick the crying stalk when the singers with song have come to cleanse him.

9.86.47 Your fleet, gathered streams, as you flow pure, cross the finest fleece;when the cows' milk anoints you in the vats, drop, pressed Soma, you settle in vessels.

9.86.48 Flow, Soma, knower of rites, worthy of hymns; run through the fleece as beloved honey;strike all devouring demons, drop, that with brave sons we may speak nobly in the assembly.

9.87.3 Inspired seer, leader of peoples, wise craftsman alongside Ushanas Kavya,he knew the hidden secret name of those cows.

9.87.4 This honeyed Soma of yours, Indra, bull for the bull, has streamed through the filter;winning thousands and hundreds, bountiful, the racer has mounted the everlasting grass.

9.87.6 Purified, much-invoked among peoples, he circles every provision;bring us delights, hawk-borne one; strengthening riches, flow toward the prize.

9.87.7 Pressed, this Soma ran through the filter like a released racing horse;sharpening his keen horns like a buffalo, a hero seeking cows as a champion.

9.87.8 She journeyed from the farthest rock and found cattle hidden in the vastness;like heavenly lightning thundering through clouds, your Soma stream flows, Indra.

9.88.3 Like Vayu with his team, prompt to come; like the Ashvins, gracious to our call;like a giver of every wealth, like Pushan spurring thought, you are Soma.

9.88.4 Like Indra doing mighty deeds, you destroy Vritras, Soma, and shatter forts;like Paidva you slay the serpent-named; you destroy every Dasyu, Soma.

9.88.5 Like Agni released in the woods, he freely gathers strength in rivers;like a warrior host with a mighty roar, purifying Soma raises his wave.

9.88.6 These Somas pass through sheep's fleeces like heavenly vessels pouring rain;freely, like rivers flowing downhill to sea, the pressed ones enter the vats.

9.88.7 Flow mighty as a Marut host, heaven's community secure from slander;be swift as waters, kind to us, a thousand-powered conqueror like the rite.

9.88.8 Your ordinances are those of King Varuna; your home, Soma, is vast and deep;pure as beloved Mitra, worthy of trust like Aryaman, Soma.

9.89.3 They reach for the lion, swift honey, golden and ruddy, lord of this heaven;first warrior in battles he seeks the cows; the bull guards all around with his eyes.

9.89.4 They yoke the honey-backed, fierce swift horse to the broad-wheeled lofty chariot;his sisters and kin cleanse him; his kindred strengthen the racer.

9.89.5 Four milkers of butter join him, seated together in the same place of support;they flow to him reverently as he is purified; those ancient ones surround him on all sides.

9.89.6 He is heaven's pillar and earth's support; all peoples are in his hand;the source with its team has settled for the singer; the honeyed shoot flows for Indra's power.

9.89.7 Conquering undefeated, flow for the divine feast, Vritra-slaying Soma, for Indra;be capable of great radiant wealth, that we may be lords of heroic power.

9.91.3 Roaring, the bull's stalk flows for the bull, bright with the cow's milk;versed in a thousand hymns, sunlike, he travels the narrow path on sure-footed ways.

9.91.5 As in ancient times, all-desired one, make forward paths for a new good song;may we win those mighty, hard-to-overcome foes, many-working, rich in cattle.

9.92.4 In your secret place, flowing Soma, are all the gods, three times eleven;ten fingers cleanse you on the fleece's height, and seven mighty rivers.

9.92.5 Let this be the flowing one's truth, where all the singers come together:he made light and space for day and helped Manu against the Dasyu.

9.94.4 Born for splendor, he went forth to splendor and grants singers splendor and vitality;clothed in splendor they reach immortality and become true in combat by the measured wood.

9.96.5 Soma flows, begetter of thoughts, begetter of heaven and earth,begetter of Agni, of Surya, begetter of Indra and Vishnu too.

9.96.6 Sacred utterance of gods, pathfinder of poets, seer among inspired, buffalo among beasts,hawk among birds of prey, axe among forests, Soma roars across the filter.

9.96.7 Flowing Soma has raised a wave of words like a river, hymns and inspired thoughts;seeing into these nearer communities, the bull stands knowing among cows.

9.96.18 With a seer's mind, maker of seers, finder of sunlight, leading thousands, pathfinder of poets,the buffalo seeks the third dwelling, and Soma rules the Viraj and the song.

9.97.1 Purified by his impulse in the golden strainer, the god mingled his juice with gods;pressed, he circles the filter roaring, like a priest around his home and cattle.

9.97.2 Wearing bright garments of one mind, the mighty poet speaks secret words;speak aloud in the vats while purifying, discerning and wakeful for the gods' feast.

9.97.3 The beloved one is cleansed upon the fleece's height, more renowned than fame, our dwelling;sing and race as you are purified; may you all protect us always with blessings.

9.97.4 Sing out and praise the gods; urge Soma on to great wealth;sweet, he flows across the sheep's fleece and settles in the vessel, seeking gods for us.

9.97.5 The drop comes into the gods' friendship, flowing in a thousand streams for rapture;praised by men, he reaches his ancient home and Indra for great fortune.

9.97.10 The drop flows as a racer, with cow-filled streams; Soma spurs strength in Indra for rapture;he kills demons and wards away enemies, making room, king of the people.

9.97.11 Then mixed with honey in his stream, milked by stones, he flows through the hair;the drop delights in Indra's friendship, a god intoxicating a god for rapture.

9.97.12 Purifying, he flows toward beloved things, a god mingling gods with his own juice;clad in ordinances in season, the drop was wrapped by ten fingers upon the fleece's height.

9.97.13 A red bull roars to the cows, making earth and heaven resound;his cry is heard like Indra's in battle, flowing forth and awakening this speech.

9.97.14 Rich in juice, swelling with milk, you move the honeyed stalk;purifying Soma, poured for Indra, you move like an unbroken line.

9.97.15 Flow intoxicating for delight, lowering the lofty with your weapons;bearing your gleaming color around, Soma, stream toward us, seeking cattle, poured all around.

9.97.16 With favor and easy paths, drop, flow making broad, pleasant room;breaking evils in every direction like a mace, race over the fleece's height.

9.97.17 Flow us heavenly rain that travels far, rich in nourishment, healing, swiftly given;race searching, like woven strands, for these lower kin of yours, O drop, the winds.

9.97.19 Welcomed for rapture among gods, drop, run across the fleece's height;in a thousand streams, sweet-smelling, unassailable, flow around in the man-winning contest.

9.97.20 Without reins, chariots, or harness, like racers released into battle,these shining Somas run; gods, come to drink them.

9.97.21 So, drop, flow toward the gods' feast, like a flood of cloud in the vats;may Soma grant us desired, great and mighty wealth rich in heroes.

9.97.22 When the seeking mind's voice fashioned him upon the eldest law, at the face of the strainer,then the yearning cows came to their chosen husband in the vessel, the drop.

9.97.23 Divine giver of waters, sweller of waters, wise, he flows Truth to Truth;he shall be king of the people by ordinance; with ten beams the earth was borne forth.

9.97.24 Through filters the purifier sees men, king of gods and mortals;twice lord of treasures, the drop bears lovely, well-supported Truth.

9.97.25 Like a horse seeking fame and victory, flow to Indra and Vayu's feast;give us a thousand mighty provisions, Soma, and purifying, find us treasure.

9.97.26 Let these god-loving Somas poured around us stream toward a home of brave sons;worshipful, generous, most gladdening, like priests who offer to heaven.

9.97.27 So, god, flow for the gods' gathering, great Soma of streams, drunk by gods;though set amid mighty struggle, cleanse and set both worlds in a good place.

9.97.28 Cry like a horse yoked with bulls, terrible as a lion, swifter than thought;by the nearest, straightest paths, flow to us joy of mind, drop.

9.97.29 A hundred god-born streams flowed forth; poets cleanse a thousand of them;flow from heaven, drop, winning treasure; you go before great riches.

9.97.30 Like the floods of heaven the days poured forth; like a king the wise one does not betray a friend;like a son following his father by wisdom, flow for this people's unconquered strength.

9.97.31 Your honeyed streams flowed forth, passing pure through sheep's fleeces;purifier, you flow into the cows' home, and at birth swelled the sun with songs.

9.97.32 Roaring upon the path of Truth, bright, you illuminate immortality's dwelling;for Indra you flow full of rapture, stirred by poets' thoughts to speech.

9.97.33 Heavenly bird, look down, Soma, swelling streams by your work in the gods' feast;enter the vessel, O drop, Soma's abode; go crying toward the sun's ray.

9.97.34 The carrier sends forth three voices: Truth's thought and the sacred word's vision;cows go seeking the lord of cows; thoughts go seeking Soma with cries.

9.97.35 Cows and milk cows cry for Soma; poets seek Soma through their thoughts;pressed Soma is purified and anointed, and hymns and Trishtubh verses resound together in Soma.

9.97.36 So, Soma, poured around us, flow to us, purified, with well-being;enter Indra with a mighty cry, magnify speech, give birth to inspired insight.

9.97.37 Wakeful poet of truthful thoughts, purified Soma settles in the vessels;the skilled, dexterous charioteer-priests, paired in loving service, approach him.

9.97.38 Purified, he comes like the sun in its station, filling and opening both worlds;even dear aid comes to one beloved of him; he will extend wealth to the worker.

9.97.39 Growing and causing growth, generous Soma purified shines over us with his light;by him our ancient fathers, knowing paths and finding sunlight, took cattle from the rock.

9.97.40 The ocean stepped forward in the first ordinance, giving birth to creatures as king of the world;on the fleece's height the bull in the filter grew great, the pressed Soma drop.

9.97.41 The buffalo Soma did this great deed: embryo of waters, he chose the gods;purifying, he placed strength in Indra; the drop generated light in the sun.

9.97.42 You gladden Vayu for offerings and bounty, Mitra and Varuna as you flow pure;you gladden the Marut host, the gods, and Heaven and Earth, divine Soma.

9.97.43 Flow straight, destroyer of crookedness, driving away disease and hostility;mingle milk with the cows' milk: you are Indra's friend, and we yours.

9.97.44 Flow honey's sweetness and the spring of wealth; flow heroes and a share of fortune for us;be sweet to Indra, purifying drop, and flow riches from the sea to us.

9.97.45 Pressed Soma streamed like a horse in his stream, like a river running toward the lowlands;cleansed, he sat in the wooden seat, the drop mingling with milk and waters.

9.97.46 This Soma of yours flows for you, Indra, wise and mighty, desiring the vats;sun-seeing charioteer of true strength, he was released like the god-seeker's longing.

9.97.47 Purified with ancient vigor, setting aside the daughter's forms,clad in triple shelter in the waters, he goes like a priest roaring into gatherings.

9.97.48 Now be our charioteer, god Soma; flow through the vats as you are cleansed;sweetest in waters, honeyed, faithful to Truth, like Savitar, true-minded god.

9.97.49 Flow praised toward Vayu's feast, purified toward Mitra and Varuna;toward the man who drives thought, standing on his chariot, toward Indra the bull, mace in hand.

9.97.50 Flow toward splendid garments, toward good milking cows as you are cleansed;toward shining gold for us to bear, and chariot horses, divine Soma.

9.97.51 Flow toward us with heavenly treasures and every earthly treasure as you purify;flow so that we gain wealth, and toward our song like Jamadagni's.

9.97.52 Purify with this filter, drop, and race toward riches upon the lake of Manyu;even the ruddy one, driven here like wind, granted a man to Purumedha the poet.

9.97.53 Purify with this filter for us upon the renowned, fame-giving ford;Naiguta shook sixty thousand treasures like ripe fruit from a tree for battle.

9.97.54 Great is this bull-named one's force upon Manyu's ground or upon Prishan's killing-place;he lulled Naiguta to sleep and bewildered the unseeing, unhonored foes.

9.97.55 You travel through three outstretched filters and run toward one as you are cleansed;you are Bhaga, giver of gifts, bountiful to the bountiful, O drop.

9.97.56 This all-knowing thoughtful Soma flows, king of all the world;the drop sends forth his drops in assemblies and passes through the sheep's fleece.

9.97.57 Unassailable bulls lick the drop; poets roar at his station like vultures;the wise drive him with ten fingers, anointing his form with water's juice.

9.97.58 With you as flowing Soma, may we ever distinguish what is gained in battle;may Mitra and Varuna magnify it for us, and Aditi, the river, Earth and Heaven.

9.98.2 Pressed, he wrapped himself in sheep's wool like armor upon a chariot;the drop, placed in the wooden trough, ran with swift streams.

9.98.3 Pressed, the exhilarating drop flows through wool;his stream rises in the rite, blazing and seeking cattle.

9.98.4 For you, god, desire forever to give a worshiping mortal treasure,drop, wealth in thousands, with a hundred lives.

9.98.5 O Vritra-slayer, giver of treasures, may we stand closestto your much-desired riches and nourishment, source of kindness, unconquerable one.

9.98.6 Twice five sisters bathe the self-glorious, stone-pressed one,Indra's beloved desirable wave.

9.98.7 They cleanse the desired golden-brown one in the wool,who goes among all the gods together with his rapture.

9.98.8 With his help you protect the accomplisher of skill,who gives great sunlike fame among the patrons, desirable one.

9.98.9 For you two, human Heaven and Earth, the drop was born in sacrifices,a mountain-born god for goddesses, thundering without failure.

9.98.10 For Indra, Vritra-slayer, to drink, Soma, you are poured around;and for the generous man and the god who sits in the dwelling.

9.98.11 These ancient Somas flowed through the filter at dawn,driving the crooked far away, the heedless ones before morning.

9.98.12 Friends, you and we who are patrons, may we gain the one shining in front,may we gain the fragrant prize and a home of wealth.

9.99.3 We cleanse him, the rapture most fit for Indra to drink,whom cows and poets have placed together, of old and now.

9.99.4 They sang to him as he was cleansed with an ancient song;thoughts bearing the gods' names fashioned him too.

9.99.5 They purify the swelling supporter through sheep's fleece;the wise summon him like a messenger who knows the ancients' minds.

9.99.6 Cleansed, most exhilarating Soma settles in the vats;like seed placed in a beast, the lord of thought is addressed.

9.99.7 By skillful hands the god is cleansed, pressed for the gods;when he gives himself among them he enters mighty waters.

9.99.8 Pressed drop, led by men through the filter,you settle in the vats, most exhilarating for Indra.

9.100.3 Release thought yoked to mind like a raincloud's thunder;you foster the earthly and heavenly treasures, Soma.

9.100.6 Flow pure, greatest winner of prizes, pressed into the filter in a stream,for Indra and Vishnu, Soma, sweetest to the gods.

9.100.7 Guileless mothers lick you, golden one, within the filter,like cows licking a newborn calf, flowing one, by sacred ordinance.

9.100.8 Flowing one, you travel with splendid rays toward great renown;you strike away every swelling darkness in the worshiper's home.

9.101.12 These cleansed, wise Somas mixed with curds,beautiful as suns, race steadily in butter.

9.101.13 Let no mortal suppress the word for pressed drink;strike the ungracious dog away, like the Bhrigus struck in the rite.

9.101.14 A kinsman wrapped himself in robes, like a son in his mother's arms;he flows like a lover to women, entering the chosen nest.

9.101.15 That hero, maker of skill, held the two worlds apart;the golden one wrapped himself in the filter, settling like a maker in his home.

9.101.16 Soma flows through woolen fleeces over the cow's hide;the roaring golden bull approaches Indra's appointed dwelling.

Hymn 10.1 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.1.1 High at the forefront of dawns he rose, emerging from darkness into light;Agni, born with a ruddy blaze, filled every dwelling with his splendor.

10.1.2 Born, you are the child of Heaven and Earth, Agni, cherished among the plants;the radiant infant passed through the dark nights and cried aloud from his mothers' breast.

10.1.3 Vishnu, knowing his highest station, born great, protects the third realm;when they made its milk their own by mouth, the kindred ones worship here.

10.1.4 Then the mothers who nourish their son approach you with food, to strengthen you with food;you return to them in another form: among human peoples you are the invoker.

10.1.5 The invoker with his shining chariot, the bright beacon of every sacrifice,Agni, guest of the people, meeting each god with that god's greatness and beauty.

10.1.6 Agni, wearing garments richly adorned, stands at the navel of the earth;red, born at Ila's place, priest set before us, O king, sacrifice here to the gods.

10.1.7 For, Agni, you have stretched out both heaven and earth like a son his two mothers;come forward to those who desire you, youngest one, and bring the gods here, mighty one.

Hymn 10.2 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.2.1 Delight the eager gods, youngest one; knowing the seasons, lord of seasons, worship here;with the divine priests, Agni, you are the most worshipful of invokers.

10.2.2 You perform the invoker's and purifier's work for men, thoughtful, wealth-giving, true;we shall make our offerings with svaha; let god Agni duly sacrifice to the gods.

10.2.3 We have come onto the gods' own path; may we carry forward what we can;let Agni, the knowing one, sacrifice: he is the invoker, he orders the rites and seasons.

10.2.4 If we violate your ordinances, gods, through ignorance though you know all,may knowing Agni make it whole, he who sets the gods in their proper seasons.

10.2.5 When mortals, with unripe minds and feeble skill, do not understand the sacrifice,Agni, the discerning invoker who knows its purpose, worships the gods each in season.

10.2.6 The creator made you the brilliant face, the beacon, of all sacrifices;so sacrifice, bringing us desirable food, rich in men and grain, for all the people.

10.2.7 You whom Heaven and Earth begot, whom the waters and Tvashtar of good birth begot,knowing the ancestral path, shine brightly, Agni, as you are kindled.

Hymn 10.3 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.3.1 Kindled, O king, lord of the house, fierce and potent, he appeared to give us power;aware, he shines with mighty radiance, driving the dark one from the ruddy one.

10.3.2 When with his form he covered the dark, giving birth to the maiden, great Father's daughter,raising high the sun's brilliance, the lord of the house shines from heaven with its treasures.

10.3.3 The blessed one came with the blessed, a lover following his sister;Agni, spreading through splendid days, took his stand amid the bright colors.

10.3.4 His advancing flames, like the roars of the great, kindle our good friend Agni;the blazing lights of that praiseworthy, mighty one appeared on their march at night.

10.3.5 His flames stream like voices from the shining, mighty lord of the bright sky;with his oldest, strongest, most playful and loftiest beams he reaches heaven.

10.3.6 His powers appeared as he surged, roaring with his hosts;with ancient gleaming flames, resounding far, the divine lord of the house shines everywhere.

10.3.7 Bring us greatness and sit here, lord of the house between the young Heaven and Earth;Agni, well-yoked, come here with swift, well-yoked horses and vigorous force.

Hymn 10.4 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.4.1 I sacrifice to you, I raise my song to you: be worthy of praise at our calls;Agni, you are a watering place in the desert to the worshiping Purus, ancient king.

10.4.2 People gather around you like cattle around a warm pen, youngest one;you are messenger between gods and mortals, moving great with light.

10.4.3 Like a beloved child, your mother carries you and nurtures you, longing for your company;you race downhill from the bow, eager like a beast released.

10.4.4 We are foolish, you wise, Agni: you indeed know your greatness;he lies in a hiding place, moves eating with his tongue, and, lord of the people, licks the maiden.

10.4.5 Somewhere he is born new in ancient woods; in the forest stands the gray, smoke-bannered one;like an unwashed bull he rushes out, guided onward by discerning mortals.

10.4.6 Like thieves who risk their lives and haunt the woods, they encircled him with ten reins;this is your newest inspiration, Agni: yoke your chariot with your bright limbs.

10.4.7 Let this prayer and homage and song always strengthen you, Jatavedas;protect our children and descendants, Agni; tirelessly protect our bodies.

Hymn 10.5 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.5.1 One ocean, foundation of riches, born in many forms, looks out from our heart;he seeks the secret udder's lap: at the spring's center lies the bird's hidden footprint.

10.5.2 The bulls, wearing a common home, came together, mighty ones with mares;the seers guard the footprint of Truth; in secret they set the highest names.

10.5.3 The two, moving in Truth and working wonders, joined and measured out the child, bore and raised him;with their minds they wove the navel of all that moves and stands, the seer's very thread.

10.5.4 The paths of Truth, well born, attend the ancient offerings for strength;Heaven and Earth, crying aloud for their covering, grow with ghee and honeyed food.

10.5.5 Calling to his seven ruddy sisters, knowing, he lifted honey into view;between them, in midair, the ancient one seeking found Pushan's hidden enclosure.

10.5.6 The seers fashioned seven boundaries; the distressed one passed through one of them;at the crossing of paths, at the foundations, the pillar of life stood in the highest abode.

10.5.7 Being and nonbeing in the highest heaven, at Daksha's birth, in Aditi's lap:Agni, firstborn of Truth, in the primal age was both bull and cow for us.

Hymn 10.6 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.6.1 This is he under whose shelter Agni's singer thrives with aid and praise;radiant, surrounded by the foremost lights of the sages, he moves around us.

10.6.2 Agni, shining everywhere with beams, steadfast and true among the gods,weaves friendship for his friends, unswerving as a racing horse.

10.6.3 He rules every journey to the gods; he rules all life at dawn's breaking;in him, Agni, one whose chariot never fails entrusts offerings with cries of strength.

10.6.4 Gladly strengthened by cries and songs, he goes swift-footed toward the gods;the joyous invoker, most fit to worship, Agni mingles offerings to the gods with his ladle.

10.6.5 With hymns and homage prepare Agni, trembling like Indra, radiant like a dawn;the inspired praise Jatavedas with their thoughts, the ladle-bearing victor.

10.6.6 In him all treasures converge, like spirited horses gathering for the contest;turn your protections toward us, Agni, protections most powerful with Indra.

10.6.7 For, Agni, as soon as you were born and took your great seat, you became worthy of offerings;the gods followed your beacon, and then the first guardians made you grow.

Hymn 10.7 — Seer: Trita Aptya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.7.1 Grant us well-being from heaven and earth, Agni, and lifelong worship, god;may we share your wonders, mighty one; protect us, god, with your boundless favor.

10.7.2 These thoughts, born for you, Agni, sing of riches in cattle and horses;when a mortal takes his share from you, fair-born one, holding treasure through songs.

10.7.3 I think of Agni as father, Agni as kinsman, Agni as brother and constant friend;I honor the face of mighty Agni, bright in heaven, worthy of sacrifice as the sun.

10.7.4 May our thoughts succeed and bring us lasting gain, when you protect us, eternal invoker in our home;true one of red horses and plentiful food, grant us beauty through bright days.

10.7.5 Set amid days, like a friend, the ancient priest who guides the sacrifice;men brought Agni forth with their arms and installed him as invoker among the peoples.

10.7.6 God, sacrifice to the gods in heaven yourself: what can a foolish, unknowing man do for you?As you have worshiped the gods in their seasons, so worship, fair-born god, with your own body.

10.7.7 Be our helper and guardian, Agni; give us vigor and preserve our strength;grant us, great one, the gift of oblations, and tirelessly protect our bodies.

Hymn 10.8 — Seer: Trishiras Tvashtara. Deities: Agni (1–6), Indra (7–9). Meter: Trishtubh.

10.8.1 Agni advances with his mighty banner, the bull roars across heaven and earth;he has reached the furthest reaches of heaven; in the lap of the waters the mighty one grew.

10.8.2 The horned bull, still an embryo, rejoiced; the untiring, powerful calf cried out;he prepares what is raised for the gods and goes first among his own dwellings.

10.8.3 He who seized the heads of his parents, the radiant flood, was placed in the sacrifice;beneath his flight the ruddy ones, horse-rooted, find delight in their bodies at Truth's birthplace.

10.8.4 For at each dawn, rich one, you go before; you were the light of the twins;you established seven steps for Truth, bringing Mitra to birth for your own body.

10.8.5 You became the eye and guardian of mighty Truth; you became Varuna when you served Truth;you became the waters' child, Jatavedas, and the messenger whose oblation you delighted in.

10.8.6 You became leader of sacrifice and of the realm when you joined your auspicious teams;you set your sunward head in heaven, Agni, and made your tongue the bearer of offerings.

10.8.7 Trita, through his resolve, chose his way within, seeking the counsel of the higher father;close to the parents' lap, claiming kinship, he approaches the weapons.

10.8.8 Knowing his ancestral weapons, Aptya fought at Indra's urging;Trita struck the three-headed, seven-rayed son of Tvashtar and released his cattle.

10.8.9 Indra shattered the vast, swelling strength of the one who thought himself lord;he took the cows of Vishvarupa, Tvashtar's son, and cut off his three heads.

Hymn 10.9 — Seers: Trishiras Tvashtara or Sindhudvipa Ambarisha. Deity: the Waters. Meters: Gayatri; verse 5, Vardhamana Gayatri; verse 7, Pratishtha Gayatri; verses 8–9, Anushtubh.

10.9.1 Waters, you are the source of joy: give us strength;and grant us a vision of great delight.

10.9.2 Let us share your most blessed essence here,like mothers who long to give.

10.9.3 Let us come readily to you, to the dwelling you refresh;waters, give us birth anew.

10.9.4 Divine waters, be gracious to us for our desire, fit for drinking;flow toward us with health and peace.

10.9.5 Ruling treasures, dwelling among the peoples,I ask the waters for healing.

10.9.6 Soma told me, “Within the waters are all remedies,and Agni who brings blessing to all.”

10.9.7 Waters, fill my body with healing protection,so that I may look long upon the sun.

10.9.8 Carry away, waters, whatever wrong is in me,whether I have betrayed or cursed someone, or spoken falsehood.

10.9.9 Today I have entered the waters; we have mingled with their essence;come, Agni, rich in milk, and unite me with radiance.

Hymn 10.10 — Seer: Yami Vaivasvati (except verse 9). Deity: Yama.

10.10.1 “Let me turn my friend toward friendship, though he has crossed the vast ocean;may the maker plant a father's grandson on earth, mindful of the future.”

10.10.2 “Your friend wants no such friendship, which makes two of one birth become unlike;the heroic sons of the great Asura, the upholders of heaven, watch far and wide.”

10.10.3 “The immortals desire this of you, though a mortal himself has cast it aside;set your mind within mine: enter my body as a husband born to me.”

10.10.4 “What we have never done before, shall we do now? Speaking truth, shall we utter lies?The Gandharva in the waters and the water-born woman are our source: this is our closest kinship.”

10.10.5 “The creator made us a couple in the womb, the god Tvashtar, Savitar of every form;none breaks his ordinances: earth and heaven know this of us.”

10.10.6 “Who knows that first day? Who saw it? Who can tell it here?Mitra's and Varuna's realm is vast. Why speak to men of this wantonness?”

10.10.7 “Desire for Yama has come over me, Yami, to lie together in the same womb;like a wife for her husband I would bare my body; let us roll together like two chariot wheels.”

10.10.8 “They neither stand still nor close their eyes, those divine watchers walking here;go quickly, wanton woman, with another, and turn with him like two chariot wheels.”

10.10.9 “Through nights and days let him receive offerings; may the sun's eye open again and again;Heaven and Earth are a pair of kin: may Yami bear what is not kin to Yama.”

10.10.10 “Later ages will surely come when kin do what is not kin;stretch your arm toward another bull; seek another husband than me, blessed woman.”

10.10.11 “What is a brother, if his sister is left defenseless? What is a sister, when ruin comes?Driven by desire, I say this again and again: join your body to mine.”

10.10.12 “I will not join my body to yours: they call the man who approaches his sister a sinner;find joy with someone other than me; your brother does not want this, blessed woman.”

10.10.13 Alas, Yama, alas! I have found neither your mind nor your heart.Surely another embraces you, as a girth clasps a horse, a creeper a tree.

10.10.14 Then take another, Yami; let another embrace you like a creeper a tree.Desire his heart, and let him desire yours; make a blessed union with him.

Hymn 10.11 — Seer: Angir Havirdhana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati; verses 7–9 Trishtubh.

10.11.1 The bull has milked heaven's milk for the bull, the mighty, inviolable son of Aditi.He knows all things, like Varuna in his wisdom; worthy of sacrifice, let him worship the sacrificial seasons.

10.11.2 May my mind guard itself against the watery celestial maidens at the river's roaring.May Aditi set us at the heart of what is wished; our eldest brother shall speak first for you.

10.11.3 That radiant, glorious, auspicious Dawn has shone for Manu, filled with sunlight,when, following the will of those who longed, they begot Agni, the priest, for the assembly.

10.11.4 Then the falcon, sent forth, brought the far-ranging, clear-seeing drop to the sacrifice,when the Arya clans chose the wondrous one; then Agni the priest was born wise.

10.11.5 Always delightful, you thrive like fodder, Agni, through the offerings of the man whose rite is good.When the singer striving for praise wins the prize, you approach him with abundant gifts.

10.11.6 The lover rouses his parents, seeks a share; the eager one sends forth what lies in his heart.The bearer proclaims, the vigorous one works well; the mighty one grows strong, inspired in thought.

10.11.7 The mortal who has gained your favor, Agni, son of strength, is heard far abroad.Bearing nourishment, borne by horses, resplendent and powerful, he adorns the days.

10.11.8 When this gathering of yours, Agni, becomes divine among the gods, worshipful worshiper,and when you allot treasures, self-sustaining one, grant us here a share rich in goods.

10.11.9 Hear us, Agni, in our shared dwelling; harness the swift chariot of immortality.Bring us Heaven and Earth, mothers of the gods; do not remain far from the gods here.

Hymn 10.12 — Seer: Angir Havirdhana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.12.1 Heaven and earth, at the beginning, are witnesses through Truth, speaking true words,when the god, making mortals ready for worship, sat as priest, turning toward his own life.

10.12.2 God surpassing the gods through Truth, bear our oblation, you who knew first;smoke-bannered, bright with kindling, the joyous, perpetual priest, best worshiper in speech.

10.12.3 When the immortal milk of the divine cow was drawn forth, her offspring upheld the broad worlds.All the gods followed this sacred formula of yours, when the bright cow yielded heavenly ghee and water.

10.12.4 I sing to strengthen you, waters flowing with ghee; Heaven and Earth, hear me, two worlds.When the heavens reached the guidance of life, let our two parents sharpen us here with honey.

10.12.5 What has our king taken from us? When did we transgress his ordinance? Who knows?Even Mitra, calling the gods, comes at the hymn; there is a prize as well.

10.12.6 Hard to grasp here is the immortal's name when things of one nature assume different shapes.Whoever thinks upon Yama rightly, protect him, lofty Agni, without neglect.

10.12.7 In him the gods rejoice in council and take their stand in Vivasvat's dwelling.They set light in the sun and nights in the moon; ceaselessly they move around the radiant one.

10.12.8 The gods move within his hidden thought; we do not know it.May Mitra, Aditi, and the god Savitar here speak for us to Varuna, leaving us guiltless.

10.12.9 Hear us, Agni, in our shared dwelling; harness the swift chariot of immortality.Bring us Heaven and Earth, mothers of the gods; do not remain far from the gods here.

Hymn 10.13 — Seers: Angir Havirdhana or Vivasvat Aditya. Deity: the oblation-carts. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 5 Jagati.

10.13.1 I harness for you both the ancient prayer with homage; let the song go forth like a patron's pathway.Let all the children of immortality hear, those who have taken their places in the heavenly realms.

10.13.2 When you two come striving like twins, god-seeking humans bring offerings for you.Sit in your own appointed place; take your seats for our pressed soma.

10.13.3 I have climbed after the five steps of form; by ordinance I follow the four-footed one.By the imperishable syllable I measure her; at the navel of Truth I purify myself.

10.13.4 Why did they choose death for the gods, and why not immortality for offspring?They made Brihaspati the seer of sacrifice; Yama relinquished his beloved body.

10.13.5 Seven streams flow for the child attended by Maruts; sons have woven Truth for their father.He rules both realms of each kind; both struggle, and both increase.

Hymn 10.14 — Seer: Yama Vaivasvata. Deity: Yama; verse 6 the ancestral Atharvans, Bhrigus, and Soma; verses 7–9 the named gods or the ancestors; verses 10–12 the two dogs. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 13, 14, 16 Anushtubh; verse 15 Brihati.

10.14.1 Honor with oblation King Yama, Vivasvat's son, who journeyed across the great slopes,who traced the path for multitudes, the gathering-place of peoples.

10.14.2 Yama first discovered the way for us; this pastureland cannot be taken away.Where our ancient fathers departed, all those born since follow their own paths.

10.14.3 Matali grew strong with the Kavyas, Yama with the Angirases, Brihaspati with the singers of hymns.Some ancestors strengthened the gods, and some were strengthened by them; some rejoice in the cry of svaha, others in the ancestral offering.

10.14.4 Yama, sit upon this ritual grass, in accord with the ancestral Angirases.Let the seers' hymns bring you here; rejoice, king, in this oblation.

10.14.5 Come with the worshipful Angirases, Yama; rejoice here with the sons of Virupa.I summon Vivasvat, your father, to sit on the ritual grass at this sacrifice.

10.14.6 The Angirases, the nine-chanters, the Atharvans and the Bhrigus who delight in soma are our fathers.May we share the favor and the blessed goodwill of those worthy of sacrifice.

10.14.7 Go on, go on by the ancient paths where our fathers before us have gone.You will see the two kings, Yama and divine Varuna, rejoicing in the ancestral offering.

10.14.8 Join the fathers, join Yama, with the offerings and good works in highest heaven.Leave behind all evil, return to your home, and join with a body full of splendor.

10.14.9 Away, depart, scatter from here! The fathers have made this place for him.Yama gives him a resting-place adorned with days, waters, and nights.

10.14.10 Run past the two four-eyed, spotted dogs of Sarama by the good path.Then approach the generous fathers who rejoice in fellowship with Yama.

10.14.11 Those two dogs of yours, Yama, the four-eyed guardians of the path, watching over men:entrust him to them, king, and grant him well-being and freedom from illness.

10.14.12 Broad-nosed, life-stealing, the two brindled messengers of Yama roam among men.May they give us back today our breath, that we may see the sun and find good fortune here.

10.14.13 Press soma for Yama; pour oblation for Yama.The sacrifice, prepared and carried by Agni as envoy, goes to Yama.

10.14.14 Offer ghee-rich oblation to Yama, and stand forth.May he bring us to the gods and grant long life for us to live.

10.14.15 Pour the sweetest oblation for King Yama.This homage is for the ancient seers, the first-born makers of the path.

10.14.16 With the three kadru vessels it flies through the six wide spaces toward the one great realm.Trishtubh and Gayatri and all the meters are established in Yama.

Hymn 10.15 — Seer: Shankha Yamayana. Deity: the ancestors. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 11 Jagati.

10.15.1 Rise up, you lower, higher, and middle fathers who delight in soma.May our harmless fathers, who know Truth and have gone to life, help us at our calls.

10.15.2 Let this homage today be for the fathers, those who went before and those who followed,those settled in the earthly expanse or now among the prosperous peoples.

10.15.3 I have found the generous fathers, and Vishnu's far-reaching stride.Come here, you who sit on ritual grass, who share the drink of pressed soma with the ancestral offering.

10.15.4 Fathers seated on the grass, come to our aid; we have made these oblations for you: accept them.Come with the most gracious help, and grant us happiness and freedom from harm.

10.15.5 Summoned, the soma-loving fathers sit upon the grass among their cherished treasures.Let them come, let them hear here, let them speak and protect us.

10.15.6 With knees drawn up, sit to the south, and all of you praise this sacrifice.Fathers, do not hurt us for any wrong we may have done you as humans.

10.15.7 Seated in the lap of crimson dawns, bestow wealth on the mortal who gives.Fathers, grant his sons a share of that treasure; establish vigor here.

10.15.8 Our ancient fathers who loved soma, the Vasishthas who followed the soma feast—with them let Yama, gladly accepting offerings, eat at his pleasure among the eager ones.

10.15.9 Those who thirsted and struggled toward the gods, who knew the priestly work and fashioned praises with songs:come here, Agni, with wise, true ancestral seers who sit in the heat of sacrifice.

10.15.10 The true ones, eaters and guardians of oblations, who rode in the chariot with Indra and the gods:come, Agni, with a thousand god-revered fathers, recent and ancient, seated in the heat.

10.15.11 Fathers tasted by Agni, come here; take your seats in order, you who guide us well.Eat the offerings spread upon the grass, then grant wealth rich in brave descendants.

10.15.12 Agni Jatavedas, invoked, you have made the fragrant offerings and borne them away.You gave them to the fathers; they ate their allotted share. God, eat the offerings set before you.

10.15.13 The fathers who are here and those not here, those whom we know and those we do not know—you know how many they are, Jatavedas; accept the sacrifice well made with ancestral offerings.

10.15.14 Those burned by fire and those not burned by fire rejoice in the midst of heaven at their ancestral share.With them, self-ruling lord, arrange this life-guiding body as you wish.

Hymn 10.16 — Seer: Damana Yamayana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 11–14 Anushtubh.

10.16.1 Do not burn him up, Agni, or scorch him; do not scatter his skin or his body.When you have made him ready, Jatavedas, send him on to the fathers.

10.16.2 When you have made him ready, Jatavedas, entrust him to the fathers.When he goes to that path of life, he will become subject to the gods.

10.16.3 Let the eye go to the sun, the breath to the wind; go by the natural order to heaven and earth.Or go to the waters, if it benefits you there; take your place among the plants with your limbs.

10.16.4 The goat is your portion: burn it with your heat; let your glow and flame consume it.With your gracious forms, Jatavedas, carry this man to the world of the righteous.

10.16.5 Release him again, Agni, to the fathers, this one offered to you who walks with his ancestral share.Let him approach the survivors, clothed in life; let him unite with a body, Jatavedas.

10.16.6 Whatever the black bird pecked from you, or the ant, the snake, or the wild beast,may Agni heal all that, and Soma who has entered the priests.

10.16.7 Cover yourself in the armor of Agni with cowhide; wrap yourself in thick, rich fat,lest the bold one, exulting in heat, seize and surround you to burn you up.

10.16.8 Agni, do not damage this cup, beloved of the gods and lovers of soma.This is the cup from which gods drink; in it the immortal gods rejoice.

10.16.9 I send the flesh-eating fire far away; let it go, bearing defilement, to King Yama.Let this other fire, Jatavedas, stay here and knowingly bear the oblation to the gods.

10.16.10 The flesh-eating fire that entered your house, seeing this other Jatavedas—I lead that god away for the sacrifice to the fathers; let him nourish the heat in the highest gathering-place.

10.16.11 May the fire that carries flesh worship the fathers, who make Truth grow.Let it announce these oblations to the gods and to the fathers.

10.16.12 Desiring you, we set you down; desiring you, we kindle you.Desiring us, bring the desiring fathers here to eat the oblation.

10.16.13 What you have burned together, Agni, cool once more.Let the water-lily grow here, and tender grass spreading its shoots.

10.16.14 Cool one, with cooling power; gladdening one, with gladdening power:join with the frog and make this fire joyful.

Hymn 10.17 — Seer: Devashravas Yamayana. Deities: verses 1–2 Saranyu, 3–6 Pushan, 7–9 Sarasvati, 10–14 the Waters or, in 11–13, Soma. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 13–14 Anushtubh; verse 13 possibly Brihati.

10.17.1 Tvashtar prepares his daughter's wedding; all this world gathers together.Yama's mother, being led in marriage, the great wife of Vivasvat, vanished.

10.17.2 They hid the immortal from mortals, fashioned her likeness and gave it to Vivasvat.Saranyu bore the Ashvins when this happened, and abandoned two pairs of twins.

10.17.3 May Pushan, wise guide and guardian of the world, drive you onward without losing a beast.May he entrust you to the fathers, and Agni to the gods, the generous ones.

10.17.4 May all-living Life protect you; may Pushan guard you along the path ahead.Where the righteous sit, where they have gone, let god Savitar establish you there.

10.17.5 Pushan knows all these regions; may he lead us by the safest way.Giver of good fortune, shining, rich in heroes, let him go ahead without neglect, knowing the way.

10.17.6 Pushan was born at the crossroads of paths, the crossroads of heaven and of earth.Between both his most beloved dwelling-places he journeys back and forth, knowing the way.

10.17.7 The god-seekers call on Sarasvati when sacrifice is extended;the doers of good called upon Sarasvati: may Sarasvati grant the giver what is precious.

10.17.8 Sarasvati, goddess, who traveled in one chariot with the fathers, rejoicing in their shares,sit on this ritual grass and rejoice; bestow upon us healthful food.

10.17.9 Sarasvati, whom the fathers call as they come to the sacrifice from the south,set here a thousandfold share of refreshment and wealth's abundance among the sacrificers.

10.17.10 May the waters, our mothers, cleanse us; may those who purify with ghee cleanse us with ghee.For the goddesses bear away all defilement; from them I rise purified and bright.

10.17.11 The drop has fallen after the first days, into this womb and the one before.I offer the drop moving toward its common womb through the seven priests.

10.17.12 The drop of yours that spills, the stalk that slips from the arm into the lap of insight,or from the officiant, or from the strainer—I offer it for you in my mind with the cry of consecration.

10.17.13 Your spilled drop, your fallen stalk, and whatever has gone beyond the ladle:may this god Brihaspati pour it together for prosperity.

10.17.14 May the plants be rich in milk, my speech rich in milk.The waters' own milk is rich in milk; let them cleanse me with it.

Hymn 10.18 — Seer: Sankusuka Yamayana. Deities: verses 1–4 Death, 5 Dhatar, 6 Tvashtar, 7–14 the ancestral funeral, or verse 14 Prajapati. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 11 Pankti, verse 13 Jagati, verse 14 Anushtubh.

10.18.1 Go away, Death; follow your own distant road, different from the path of the gods.To you who have eyes and ears I speak: do not harm our offspring or our heroes.

10.18.2 You who have come, avoiding Death's track, bearing forward a longer span of life,growing full with children and wealth: be cleansed and pure, fit for sacrifice.

10.18.3 These living have parted from the dead; our summons to the gods is fortunate today.We have gone forward to dance and laughter, carrying forward a longer span of life.

10.18.4 I set this boundary around the living; may no other of them reach this destination.May they live a hundred many autumns, holding death back with a mountain.

10.18.5 As days follow in sequence, as seasons pass rightly into seasons,as a later one does not abandon its predecessor, so, Dhatar, arrange their lifetimes.

10.18.6 Rise to old age, choosing life, striving in sequence, as many as you are.Here Tvashtar, who grants good birth, will gladly fashion you long life to live.

10.18.7 Let these women, not widowed, with good husbands, come adorned with ointment and ghee.Without tears or illness, rich in treasure, let the wives first ascend to their place.

10.18.8 Rise, woman, to the world of the living; come away from this man whose breath has gone, beside whom you lie.You have fulfilled your marriage with the husband who took your hand and desired you.

10.18.9 I take the bow from the dead man's hand, for our dominion, glory, and strength.Here you stand, and we, rich in heroes, shall conquer every contest and hostile assault.

10.18.10 Creep to this mother Earth, the broad, gracious land.Soft as wool, young and bountiful, may she shield you from the lap of destruction.

10.18.11 Arch over him, Earth; do not crush him; be easy to reach and gentle to approach.As a mother covers her son with the hem of her robe, cover him, Earth.

10.18.12 May Earth, arching high, stand firm; let a thousand supports come to her aid.May these dwellings drip ghee and shelter him here through all his days.

10.18.13 I raise the earth above you; in setting down this clod upon you, may I not be hurt.May the fathers uphold this pillar, and Yama establish your dwelling here.

10.18.14 They have set me on days passing away as one sets a feather.I have seized the receding voice as a horse by its bridle.

Hymn 10.19 — Seer: Mathita Yamayana, or Bhrigu Varuni, or Chyavana Bhargava. Deity: the Waters or the Cows; Agni and Soma in the latter half of verse 1. Meter: Anushtubh; verse 6 Gayatri.

10.19.1 Turn back; do not go on. Stay with us, you rich ones.Agni and Soma, restorers of goods, keep wealth among us.

10.19.2 Turn them back again; bring them back here.Let Indra hold them in place and Agni drive them near.

10.19.3 Let these return again and thrive with this keeper of cows.Hold them here, Agni; let whatever wealth there is remain here.

10.19.4 Their departure and homeward coming, their recognition and far wandering,their turning and returning: I call even upon their herdsman.

10.19.5 He who has found their outgoing and found their far wandering,let the herdsman turn back toward their turning and return.

10.19.6 Come back, bring them back; Indra, give our cattle back to us.May we enjoy them with our living kin.

10.19.7 On every side I encircle you with nourishment, ghee, and milk.May all the gods worthy of sacrifice unite us with wealth.

10.19.8 O Turning Back, turn them around; O Returning, turn them home.From the four directions of earth, turn them back here.

Hymn 10.20 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri; verse 1 one-line Viraj, verse 2 Anushtubh, verse 9 Viraj, verse 10 Trishtubh.

10.20.1 Blow a gracious mind toward us.

10.20.2 I praise Agni, youngest of those who enjoy, stern in command, a friend hard to restrain.Under whose ordinance the radiant ones attend their mother's breast.

10.20.3 They nurture him, whose home is grace, whose beacon is light.He shines forth, ordering his ranks.

10.20.4 The noble pathfinder of the clans advances when he reaches heaven's far limits.A seer, blazing through the cloud.

10.20.5 Let him savor the mortal's oblations; raised high, he stands at the sacrifice with the Ribhus.Filling the dwelling, he goes before.

10.20.6 For he is security, the sacrifice with oblation; quickly the way opens before him.The gods approach Agni, the sharp one.

10.20.7 I seek Agni, who masters sacrifice, for the service of ancient delight.They call him Ayu, son of the stone.

10.20.8 All those among us who are human, may they find delight,as they strengthen Agni with oblation.

10.20.9 Black, white, ruddy is his course; tawny and bright red, he is glorious.His begetter begot him golden in form.

10.20.10 So, Agni, Vimada's thoughtful songs, rejoicing with Truth, have brought you, child of strength, praise.Seeking your favor, shine upon us all with nourishment, strength, and a secure home.

Hymn 10.21 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deity: Agni. Meter: Pankti.

10.21.1 With our own hymns we choose you, Agni, as priest,for the sacrifice with ritual grass laid out; in your exhilaration you flourish, mighty, pure-flaming one.

10.21.2 Your self-born flames adorn you, bringing the wealth of horses;the poured offering seeks you; in your exhilaration, Agni, the straight-running gift flourishes.

10.21.3 Within you the ordinances rest, like ladles pouring forth;you hold every beauty, dark and bright, in your exhilaration, and flourish.

10.21.4 Whatever treasure you deem worthy, Agni, immortal son of strength,bring it, brilliant, to us in sacrifices for victory's prize; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.21.5 Agni, born of Atharvan, discovered all the seers' wisdom;he became Vivasvat's envoy, dear to Yama and desired; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.21.6 They praise you, Agni, in the sacrifices when the rite is undertaken;you give every desired treasure to the generous giver; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.21.7 At sacrifices men installed you, Agni, beautiful priest,ghee-faced, bright, most discerning with your eyes; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.21.8 With shining flame, Agni, you spread wide and great;roaring, you act the bull and plant the seed among your kindred; in your exhilaration you flourish.

Hymn 10.22 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Brihati; verses 5, 7, 9 Anushtubh, verse 15 Trishtubh.

10.22.1 Where is famed Indra? Among which people is he heard today, like a friend?In the seers' home, or hidden away, is he stirred by song?

10.22.2 Here among us today famed Indra is praised, mace-bearing, rejoicing in hymns.Like a friend among peoples, he has won incomparable glory.

10.22.3 Lord of great strength, incomparable, he stirs great manly power;he wields the daring mace, as a father holds his dear son.

10.22.4 Harnessing the two horses, swift as the wind, you, divine wielder of the god's mace,let them race along the gleaming path and send songs upon their way.

10.22.5 You yourself harness even those fleet, bright horses of the wind to bear you;no god or mortal can be found who guides them.

10.22.6 Then, when you came, Ushanas asked you both, “Why have you come to our house?”You came from afar, from heaven and earth, into the mortal world.

10.22.7 Indra, our prayer has risen here to welcome you with nourishment.We ask this help of you, with which you struck the inhuman Shushna.

10.22.8 The idle Dasyu facing us is senseless, observing other ordinances, inhuman.Foe-slayer, bring your weapon down on that hostile Dasa.

10.22.9 You, heroic Indra, aid us with heroes, enlarging your protégés.Your many strongholds are spread everywhere, like settlements across the earth.

10.22.10 In the battle against Vritra, heroic mace-bearer, rouse those men in their need,when the strength of the wise and of the clans, bright as stars, is hidden away.

10.22.11 Quickly come your gifts of strength, heroic mace-bearing Indra, when battle begins,when you crushed Shushna's entire brood with your companions.

10.22.12 Let our wishes not turn aside from riches, heroic Indra.May each of us share in your favor for these things, mace-bearer.

10.22.13 Let those true, uninjured blessings of yours come close to us, Indra.May we find the enjoyment of them, as of milk cows, mace-bearer.

10.22.14 When the handless, footless one grew over the earth through powers to be known,you cut Shushna down for all living creatures, circling about him.

10.22.15 Drink and drink again the soma, heroic Indra; do not fail us, wealthy one who gives wealth.Save the generous singer, and make us rich with great, abundant treasure.

Hymn 10.23 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 1 and 7 Trishtubh, verse 5 Abhisarini.

10.23.1 We worship Indra, whose right hand wields the mace, charioteer of the bay horses, breaker of barriers.Shaking his beard, he towers high, dividing spoils among armies and with bounty.

10.23.2 His bay horses bring him wealth in the forest; generous Indra, Vritra-slayer, grows generous with gifts.The powerful Ribhu and Vaja reign in strength; I would even cut away the Dasa's name.

10.23.3 When his bay horses bear the golden mace and the chariot along the patrons' way,generous Indra mounts it, famed of old, lord of the long-heralded prize.

10.23.4 This Indra showers rain among his own herd; he sprinkles his beard with tawny drops.He comes to the good dwelling when honeyed soma is pressed, shaking it as wind shakes a forest.

10.23.5 He struck down the many thousands of hostile, harsh-speaking disputants with his word.We praise that manly power of his; like a father, his strength grew in might.

10.23.6 The Vimadas have brought forth an unprecedented, abundant hymn for you, generous Indra.We know the lord's provision when we act as herdsmen for the cattle.

10.23.7 Let no one part this friendship of ours, yours, Indra, and that of the seer Vimada.We know your care is like a kinsman's, god; let your friendships bring us blessing.

Hymn 10.24 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deities: Indra; verses 4–6 the Ashvins. Meter: Pankti; verses 4–6 Anushtubh.

10.24.1 Indra, drink this honeyed soma, pressed in the vessel.Keep wealth with us, a thousandfold, you rich one; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.24.2 With sacrifices, praises, and oblations we approach you.Lord of power, set the best of coveted blessings among us; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.24.3 You are lord of desirable things, the rousing force for the needy.Indra, protector of singers, guard us from enemies and distress; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.24.4 You two mighty masters of craft brought the pair together,when Vimada praised you, Ashvins, and you drew them together.

10.24.5 All the gods took pity on the two fleeing together.“Ashvins,” the gods said, “bring them back again.”

10.24.6 May my departure be sweet, and sweet my return.Gods, through your divinity, make both sweet for us.

Hymn 10.25 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deity: Soma. Meter: Pankti.

10.25.1 Blow a gracious mind toward us, with skill and resolve.In your fellowship, soma drink, we rejoice like cattle at pasture; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.2 Your touches reach the heart, Soma, in all your dwellings.Then these desires of mine for wealth branch out in your exhilaration; you flourish.

10.25.3 If I have infringed your ordinances, Soma, I confess my folly.Then, like a father to his son, show us mercy even against attack; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.4 Our thoughts surge together like streams from wells.Pour resolve into us for life, Soma, like cups filled with a stream; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.5 By your powers, Soma, those longing ones broke openthe enclosure rich in cattle and horses for Gritsa's vigorous singers; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.6 Soma, you guard our livestock, spread widely across the earth;you bring us together for life, seeing all the worlds; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.7 Soma, become our inviolable guardian on every side.Drive the treacherous away, king; let no slanderer rule us; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.8 Soma, wise in counsel, keep watch to extend our lives;you who know men's fields best, guard us from deceit and distress; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.9 Most mighty Vritra-slayer, Soma drop, be the gracious friend of Indra,when men call him in battle, fighting to win offspring; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.10 This swift, beloved exhilaration has strengthened Indra.It has enlarged the great thought of the seer Kakshivat; in your exhilaration you flourish.

10.25.11 This one sends cattle-rich prizes to the wise giver;this one led seven to their chosen lot and carried the blind and lame across; in your exhilaration you flourish.

Hymn 10.26 — Seer: Vimada Aindra, or Prajapatya, or Vasukrit Vasukra. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Anushtubh; verses 1 and 4 Ushnih.

10.26.1 The desirable thoughts and teams go toward him;let wondrous Pushan, whose chariot has teams, powerful one, help us.

10.26.2 The singer recognized his greatness, this man akin to wind;with thoughtful songs the seer sought him out and learned the arts of praise.

10.26.3 He knows good praises, bull Pushan, like the soma drop.He pours forth upon us, showers upon our cattle pen.

10.26.4 We meditate on you, divine Pushan,the fulfiller of our thoughts and guide of our singers.

10.26.5 Advancing to sacrifices, driver of horse-drawn chariots,that seer sent for Manu, the wise one's friend, drives away harm.

10.26.6 Lord of the woman who meditates and of the pure and what is pure,the weaver of garments has cleaned the garments of sheep.

10.26.7 The strong lord of prizes and friend of abundanceshook out his eager beard, unconquered, spreading it wide.

10.26.8 Pushan, your goats have turned back to your chariot's yoke;you are every suppliant's friend, ancient-born and unfailing.

10.26.9 Let mighty Pushan help our chariot with his nourishment;let him increase our prizes and hear this call of ours.

Hymn 10.27 — Seer: Vasukra Aindra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.27.1 Singer, I hasten to the deserving when I make gifts to the presser, the worshiper.Without needing a blessing I strike down the crooked one who works deceit against Truth.

10.27.2 When I lead into battle the godless, swollen with pride in their own bodies,at home I cook your mighty bull and pour out the strong, fifteenfold-pressed soma.

10.27.3 I know nothing of the man who says he has struck down the godless in combat.When he calls a skirmish a battle, my bulls themselves speak up.

10.27.4 When I stood among unknown companies, every generous one who truly existed stood with me.I overcome even the foe who rests secure, and seize his foot upon the mountain to destroy him.

10.27.5 Neither hostile bands nor mountains stop me when I set my mind to something.At my roar the short-eared one flees in fear; the scattering one has vanished through the days.

10.27.6 See here the Indra-less, eating cooked food, biting their arms as arrows fall!Those who mocked their swift companion found the wheels turning over them.

10.27.7 The barren cows calved, the span of life ran out; the earlier one sees, and the later sees.Two wheels revolve around that being who entered the far side of the sky.

10.27.8 I saw cows eating the Arya's barley, wandering with their herdsman.The owners came calling on every side; how many of them will their lord satisfy?

10.27.9 When we, barley-eaters among the people, gathered, I ate barley inside the broad enclosure.Here the yoked one looks for a rescuer, and the unyoked one hitches what he has won.

10.27.10 Here you will judge my words true when I bring together the two-footed and four-footed.The man who fights a bull with women—I will divide his goods without a battle.

10.27.11 Whose daughter was ever born without eyes? Who knowingly desires her though blind?Which one is released against the rival: the one who carries her or the one who chooses her?

10.27.12 How far does the young woman, bride of a young man, go, courted with desirable gifts?Beautiful the bride becomes when she is well adorned; she herself chooses her friend among the people.

10.27.13 He woke on his feet and eats backward; with his head he has placed a shelter against his head.Sitting he destroys what stands upright; bent downward he follows earth turned upward.

10.27.14 High, without shade or leaves, the horse stands; bound, its mother eats the embryo.Licking another's calf, the cow bellows: into what place did she set her udder?

10.27.15 Seven heroes rose from below; eight from above gathered at the end.Nine came from behind with laden burdens; ten spread out the face of the stone from the east.

10.27.16 One tawny creature, alike among ten, they urge on toward the further work.Its mother bears the well-placed embryo in her womb, satisfying the one who does not desire it.

10.27.17 The heroes cooked the fat ram, and buried dice lay ready for play.Two great bows move within the waters, bearing strainers and purifying.

10.27.18 Shouting, they went in every direction; one half cooks, but the winged one eats nothing.This god Savitar of mine declares: the wood-eater will conquer the eater of ghee.

10.27.19 I saw from afar a moving community, turning by its own power, without wheels.The noble one accompanies the generations of people, newly breaking them in a moment.

10.27.20 These two cows of mine are yoked for the departed one; do not drive them off, but think again and again.Even the waters fade from his sight; the sun has become a setting ray.

10.27.21 This mace, turned in many directions beneath the great sun's flowing cloud,has a fame surpassing all else; the ageless cross by it without suffering.

10.27.22 In tree after tree the bound cow lowed; from them the man-eating birds flew away.Then all the world, afraid, pressed soma for Indra and made gifts to the seer.

10.27.23 The first stood in the measure of the gods; those that came later rose from their cutting.Three warm the earth beside the waters, and two bear the swelling abundance.

10.27.24 Know that she is your life and his; do not hide anything like this in the struggle.She makes the sunlight visible and conceals the husk; its foot does not leave its garment.

Hymn 10.28 — Seers: verse 1 the wife of Vasukra, Indra's daughter-in-law; verses 2, 6, 8, 10, 12 Indra; verses 3–5, 7, 9, 11 Vasukra Aindra.

10.28.1 Every other invited guest has come, but my father-in-law alone has not.He could eat parched grains and drink soma, then return home satisfied.

10.28.2 That bellowing bull of sharp horns stood on earth's broad height.I protect him among all peoples, the one whose pressed soma fills my belly.

10.28.3 For you, delighted Indra, they quickly press somas with the stone, and you drink them.They cook bulls for you, and you eat them when they summon you, generous one, to feast.

10.28.4 Learn this well from me, singer: rivers carry a curse upstream.A fox turned upon a lion, and a jackal drove a boar from the thicket.

10.28.5 How can I understand this, innocent of the powerful sage's thought?You know; explain to us in due season, generous one, what half of your burden is secure.

10.28.6 So they increase my might; my reach extends even beyond lofty heaven.I crush many thousands at once, for my begetter begot me without a foe.

10.28.7 So the gods begot me mighty, fierce, a bull in every deed—Indra.Exulting, I struck Vritra with the mace and broke open the enclosure for the giver with my power.

10.28.8 The gods came bearing axes; cutting down forests, they came with the clans.Setting sound wood in the riverbeds, they burn along the fallen brushwood.

10.28.9 A hare swallowed a blade backward; from afar I split a mountain with a clod.I subdue even one who seeks to seize the mighty, as a growing calf overcomes a bull.

10.28.10 The great bird dug in its claws like this, penned in, as a lion circles its trap.Though shut in, the thirsty buffalo drew the lizard toward this untraveled place.

10.28.11 The lizard drew them toward this untraveled place, those who swell their bodies with the priest's food.They eat the loosed bulls at the boundary, consuming the strength of their own bodies.

10.28.12 They became skillful through skill, those who urged themselves on with soma and hymns.Speak as a man and bring our prizes close; you bear glory in heaven, hero, as your name.

Hymn 10.29 — Seer: Vasukra Aindra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.29.1 As in a forest, the longing was set in place; our bright hymn has awakened your strength.Indra is the priest of the man whose nights hold the most manly of men through many days.

10.29.2 At this dawn and the next, may we dance before the greatest dancer of men.Following Trishoka, the chariot with Kutsa bore a hundred men and won the prize.

10.29.3 What gladdening drink is yours, Indra? Fierce one, rush through the doors toward our songs.When will you drive your horses here at my thought, that we may approach your surpassing gift with food?

10.29.4 When, Indra, will you make splendid men like yourself? By what thought? What has come to us?Like truthful Mitra, widely famed and supported, when thoughts are united in food.

10.29.5 Urge onward, hero, the prize as toward the far shore, those who come to his desire as to a birthplace.And those who with food offer you your ancient songs, much-born Indra, are men.

10.29.6 Your two first well-measured mothers, Indra, are heaven in might and earth in wisdom.May the ghee-rich pressed drinks and honey be sweet for your drinking as a welcome gift.

10.29.7 They poured a full bowl of honey for Indra, for he truly gives the prize.He grew across the breadth of the earth, through his will and manly powers.

10.29.8 Strong in himself, Indra has pervaded battles; many seek his friendship.Stand in battles as on a chariot that you drive with gracious favor.

Hymn 10.30 — Seer: Kavasha Ailusha. Deity: the Waters, or Child of the Waters. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.30.1 Let the prayer's path go to the gods, toward the waters, swift as the mind's intent.For the great foundation of Mitra and Varuna, set forth a broad, lovely hymn across the wide way.

10.30.2 Officiants, bring your oblations; seek these eager waters with longing.The red-winged one watches them: take up today their wave with skillful hands.

10.30.3 Officiants, go to the sea of waters; worship the Child of the Waters with oblation.He will give you today a well-cleansed wave: press honeyed soma for him.

10.30.4 The one who shines without fuel inside the waters, whom singers praise at sacrifices:Child of the Waters, give the honeyed waters by which Indra grew mighty for heroic deeds.

10.30.5 In these Soma rejoices and delights, like a young man among lovely young women.Go toward those waters, officiant; when poured with herbs, let him purify them.

10.30.6 So young women bow to a young man when he comes longing toward the longing ones.They recognize one another in thought: the officiants and the divine waters of insight.

10.30.7 For Indra, who opened room for you when you were enclosed and freed you from mighty condemnation,send forth, waters, the honeyed wave that gives divine delight.

10.30.8 Drive the honeyed wave to him, rivers, the child of your honey, the spring,ghee-backed and worthy of praise at sacrifices; rich waters, hear my call.

10.30.9 Send on, rivers, that exhilarating wave for Indra to drink, the one that sets both worlds in motion,dripping with rapture, longing, born of cloud, flowing around the three-threaded spring.

10.30.10 Returning, flowing in two streams, roaming like cattle battling for a herd,praise the waters, seer: mothers, mistresses of the world, of one womb and growing together.

10.30.11 Drive our sacrifice onward with worship of the gods; drive our prayer toward the winning of riches.At the yoking of Truth, open your udder; be swift to hear us, waters.

10.30.12 Rich waters, you dwell in abundance, bearing wise resolve and immortality.You are mistresses of wealth and fine offspring; may Sarasvati grant that vigor to the singer.

10.30.13 When I saw the waters approaching, bearing ghee, milk, and honey,in accord in thought with the officiants, bringing well-pressed soma for Indra—

10.30.14 These rich, life-giving waters have come; officiants, friends, seat them.Set them upon the ritual grass, you lovers of soma, in accord with the Child of the Waters.

10.30.15 The eager waters have come; they have sat upon this grass at the rite, seeking the gods.Officiants, press soma for Indra; your divine worship has indeed succeeded.

Hymn 10.31 — Seer: Kavasha Ailusha. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.31.1 Let praise of the gods come near us, worshipful, with all the swift ones to our aid.Let us be their good friends, crossing every trouble.

10.31.2 Let a mortal think on wealth all around; let him seek favor with homage on the path of Truth.Let him converse with his own understanding, grasping in thought a better skill.

10.31.3 Thought was set in place, the portions released; like woolen threads they approach the wondrous one at the ford.We have attained the strength of good fortune; newcomers, we have become kin to the immortals.

10.31.4 May the householder forever delight in his home, for whom the god Savitar has brought forth life.May Bhaga or Aryaman share cows with him; may what is lovely bring him joy.

10.31.5 May this become a land like that of many dawns, when mighty, vigorous men assembled.Seeking this singer's praise, let powerful prizes approach us.

10.31.6 His good favor has spread abroad; by its greatness the ancient cow came into being.Sharing the same home in the mighty one's womb, they bear their load in a common gathering.

10.31.7 What was the forest, what was that tree from which they carved heaven and earth?These ageless two stand fast, supported from here, while many days and dawns pass away.

10.31.8 There is no other thing beyond these two; the bull sustains heaven and earth.The self-sustaining one makes a purifying skin as his bay horses carry him like the sun.

10.31.9 Like a stalking beast he crosses the broad earth; like wind he blows rain over the ground,where Mitra and Varuna are anointed, and Agni spreads his blaze like fire through a forest.

10.31.10 When the barren cow calved at once, being anointed, her fearless herdsman made the fearful fearless.When the first son was born of his parents, the cow swallowed the staff at his questioning.

10.31.11 They call Kanva a son seated among men; and the dark steed takes up the prize.The udder poured radiant milk for the dark one; here none concealed Truth from him.

Hymn 10.32 — Seer: Kavasha Ailusha. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 6–9 Trishtubh.

10.32.1 Go forth eagerly to the wise one's fellowship; sit before the choicest with chosen gifts.Indra delights in both of ours when he senses the soma drink.

10.32.2 You travel through the heavenly lights, Indra, and through the earthly expanses, widely praised.Let those who often bear you to the rites win splendid gifts for you with song.

10.32.3 This is what I wish, a beauty more beautiful still: a son learns his birth from his parents.A wife carries her husband with joyful voice, and a man carries his bride, auspiciously adorned.

10.32.4 Look toward that lovely gathering-place, where cows took charge of the wedding as milk cows do.When the mother, foremost thinker of the herd, came to the voice of the sevenfold singer.

10.32.5 I have cleared the godward path for you; one victorious one travels with the Rudras.For the gift among the immortals who have aged, pour honey around your woolen strainers.

10.32.6 Of the one laid down, hidden in the waters, the keeper of the gods' ordinance spoke to me.Indra, who knew, described you; taught by him, Agni, I came.

10.32.7 The man who does not know the land asks one who knows it; instructed by the one who knows, he goes forward.This is the blessing of instruction: he finds the straight paths.

10.32.8 Today he breathed and spoke this word; swaddled, he sucked his mother's breast.Old age has found him while young; the kind, gracious giver became favorable.

10.32.9 Let us accomplish these happy things, Kalasha, through the gifts of generous Kurushravana.Let that generous man be your donor, and this soma that I bear within my heart.

Hymn 10.33 — Seer: Kavasha Ailusha. Deities: verse 1 the All-Gods, verses 2–3 Indra, verses 4–5 Kurushravana Trasadasyava, verses 6–9 Upamashravas Maitratithi. Meter: verse 1 Trishtubh, verses 2–3 Pragatha, verses 4–9 Gayatri.

10.33.1 The harnessers of people harnessed me forth; I used to carry Pushan between them.All the gods guarded me afterward; a cry arose: “The hard master has come.”

10.33.2 My ribs burn all around like rival wives.Poverty and nakedness oppress me; my mind flutters like a bird's wings.

10.33.3 Like mice they gnaw me at my most vulnerable, your singer, hundred-powered one.Once, generous Indra, show us mercy; then be a father to us.

10.33.4 I choose King Kurushravana, descendant of Trasadasyu,the singer's most generous giver.

10.33.5 His three bay horses carry me properly in his chariot;I will praise him who gives a thousand gifts.

10.33.6 The delightful songs of his father Upamashravasspeak of a field lovely as pasture.

10.33.7 Go forward, son Upamashravas, grandson of Mitratithi;here I am the praiser of your father.

10.33.8 If I had power over immortals, or even over mortals,my generous lord would surely live.

10.33.9 Not even one with a hundred lives survives against the gods' ordinance.So he departed from his companion.

Hymn 10.34 — Seer: Kavasha Ailusha or Aksha Bhojavat. Deity: the dice, the gambler's lament, and farming. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 7 Jagati.

10.34.1 Those trembling dice delight me, rolling on the gaming board, born of the great wind.The wakeful nuts of the vibhitaka tree have drawn me like a draught of soma from Mount Mujavat.

10.34.2 She neither quarreled with me nor despised me, but was gracious to me and my companions.For the sake of a single die's cast I drove away my devoted wife.

10.34.3 My mother-in-law hates me, my wife shuts me out; no one comforts me though I beg.Like a worn-out horse up for sale, I find no enjoyment in the gambler's lot.

10.34.4 Others touch the wife of the man whose possessions the hungry dice have seized.Father, mother, brothers say of him: “We do not know him. Take him away bound.”

10.34.5 When I resolve, “I will not play with these,” my friends go off and leave me behind.But the brown dice, thrown down, speak out, and I go to their meeting as a lover to his tryst.

10.34.6 The gambler enters the hall asking, “Will I win?” his body blazing with hope.The dice turn his desire aside, leaving the winning throws for his opponent.

10.34.7 The dice are hooked, piercing, deceiving, burning, making men burn.They give a boy's gift to the victor, then strike again, smeared with honey, mighty over the gambler.

10.34.8 Their troop of fifty-three plays, observing true law like the god Savitar.Even before a fierce man's anger they do not bow; even a king bows to them.

10.34.9 They roll downward and spring upward; without hands they overpower the man with hands.Divine coals strewn on the gaming board, cold though they are, they burn the heart.

10.34.10 The gambler's forsaken wife suffers; his mother wonders where her wandering son is.In debt and afraid, seeking money, he visits others' houses by night.

10.34.11 The gambler burns to see another's wife, her well-kept home.He yoked the brown horses early in the morning, then fell as a wretch beside the fire.

10.34.12 To the leader of your great host, the king who first commanded your troop,I offer my ten fingers toward the east and hold back no riches: I speak this truth.

10.34.13 Do not play dice; plow the field. Take pleasure in what you earn, thinking it enough.There are your cows, gambler, there your wife: so noble Savitar tells me.

10.34.14 Make friends with us; have mercy. Do not attack us with fierce power.Let your wrath and hostility subside; let another fall into the brown dice's snare.

Hymn 10.35 — Seer: Lusha Dhanaka. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Jagati; verses 13–14 Trishtubh.

10.35.1 The fires with Indra wake, bearing light at the dawning of the dawns.Let great Heaven and Earth heed us, and the waters; today we choose the gods' help.

10.35.2 We choose the help of heaven and earth, mother rivers and mountains of Sharyanavat.We seek freedom from guilt, Surya and Ushas; may pressed Soma make good things for us today.

10.35.3 May Heaven and Earth, great mothers, save us, guiltless, for good fortune today.Let shining Ushas drive evil away; for well-being we call on Agni as he is kindled.

10.35.8 Let the proclamation of Truth protect me, the thought we humans offered to the gods.Surya rises to illuminate all the dawns; for well-being we call on Agni as he is kindled.

10.35.9 Today, in spreading the ritual grass, in yoking the pressing stones, we seek our heart's fulfillment without hatred.You flourish under the Adityas' shelter; for well-being we call on Agni as he is kindled.

10.35.10 Come to our ritual grass for shared delight; I praise the gods and seat the seven priests in high heaven:Indra, Mitra, Varuna, and Bhaga for victory; for well-being we call on Agni as he is kindled.

10.35.11 Come, Adityas, for complete success; in harmony help our sacrifice flourish.Brihaspati, Pushan, the Ashvins, and Bhaga: for well-being we call on Agni as he is kindled.

10.35.12 Grant us that, gods: eloquent speech, Adityas, an easy shelter to guard our people,for livestock, children, descendants, and life; for well-being we call on Agni as he is kindled.

10.35.13 Let all the Maruts today bring every aid, let every fire be kindled.Let all the gods come with help; let all wealth and prizes be ours.

10.35.14 The man whom you gods help to win the prize, whom you guard and save from trouble,who knows no fear under your protection—may we be swift for your divine feast.

Hymn 10.36 — Seer: Lusha Dhanaka. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Jagati; verses 13–14 Trishtubh.

10.36.1 Dawn and Night, vast and beautifully formed, Heaven and Earth, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman:I call Indra, the Maruts, mountains, waters, Adityas, Heaven and Earth, the waters, and sunlight.

10.36.2 Let knowing Heaven and Earth, guardians of Truth, shield us from distress and harm.May evil-minded Destruction never rule us; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.3 Let Aditi, mother of rich Mitra and Varuna, guard us from every danger.May we reach the harmless light of sunlight; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.4 Let the speaking pressing stone drive off the demons, bad dreams, destruction, and every devourer.May we gain the shelter of the Adityas and Maruts; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.5 Let Indra sit on the ritual grass, let refreshment overflow, let Brihaspati chant hymns and songs.Let us fashion a brilliant thought for life; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.6 Ashvins, make our sacrifice touch heaven, a vigorous rite and favor for our wish,its rays turned eastward, offered with ghee; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.7 I summon the easy-to-call host of Maruts, pure, exalted, gracious in friendship.Let us establish wealth's increase for fair renown; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.8 We bring the treasure of the waters, a life-giving possession, divine, readily invoked, splendid in rites.We seek radiant Soma's power; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.9 May we win that victory well, through those who win: alive, with living children, free of guilt.Let the enemies of prayer bear their guilt away in all directions; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.10 You gods worthy of sacrifice since Manu, hear us and give whatever we ask of you:victorious resolve, wealth with heroes, glory; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.11 Today we choose great aid from the great gods, vast and unopposed,so that we gain treasure rich in heroic offspring; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.12 Under the great shelter of kindled Agni, guiltless before Mitra and Varuna for well-being,let us be foremost in Savitar's sending forth; today we choose the gods' help.

10.36.13 All you gods who dwell within true-impelling Savitar's, Mitra's, and Varuna's ordinances,bestow upon us good fortune, heroes, cattle, abundant and splendid wealth.

10.36.14 Savitar behind us, Savitar before us, Savitar to the north, Savitar to the south:may Savitar send us wholeness on every side; may Savitar grant us long life.

Hymn 10.37 — Seer: Abhitapas Saurya. Deity: Surya. Meter: Jagati; verse 10 Trishtubh.

10.37.1 Homage to the eye of Mitra and Varuna! Honor that Truth, the great god.Praise Surya, far-seeing sign, god-born son of heaven.

10.37.2 May that true utterance guard me on every side, where heaven unfolds it and the days.Everything else that moves withdraws; every day the waters flow, every day Surya rises.

10.37.3 No godless being can dwell in your primeval light when you ride in your chariot with fleet horses.One realm turns back to the east, while you rise with another light, Surya.

10.37.4 By that light with which you drive out darkness, Surya, and raise the whole moving world with brilliance,drive away from us all hunger, neglect of sacrifice, sickness, and bad dreams.

10.37.5 Sent to watch over the whole world's ordinance, you rise without faltering according to your nature.Whatever resolve we address to you today, Surya, may the gods approve it for us.

10.37.6 Let Heaven and Earth, the waters, Indra, and the Maruts hear this spoken call of ours.May we not lack the sight of Surya; living, may we reach a blessed old age.

10.37.7 May we look upon you rising, mighty friend, day after day, Surya,always glad in heart, clear-eyed, with children, free from illness and guilt, long in life.

10.37.8 Carrying great light, all-seeing, shining and bringing delight to every eye,ascending over the mighty splendor, may we living look upon you, Surya.

10.37.9 All the worlds stirred by your sign go forth and settle down with the nights.Golden-haired Surya, rise day after day more prosperous for us, guiltless.

10.37.10 Bless us with your eye, bless us with the day, bless us with your light, with cold and with warmth.Let the road and home be blessed; Surya, bestow that splendid wealth.

10.37.11 Gods, give shelter to both kinds of our kin, to creatures with two feet and with four,that they may eat, drink, grow strong and be satisfied; grant us well-being without harm.

10.37.12 Whatever grave offense against the gods we have committed with tongue or by an impulse of thought,and whoever, an enemy, plots ill against us—Vasus, place that guilt upon him.

Hymn 10.38 — Seer: Mushkavat Indra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

10.38.1 Indra, at this glorious, fierce battle, help us amid the tumult to win the prize,where, in the struggle to win cows, missiles fly in every direction among bold warriors.

10.38.2 Uncover for us, Indra, riches of fame, filled with people and streaming with cattle in our home.Let us be your victorious companions, mighty one; do for us what we desire, rich one.

10.38.3 Whatever Dasa or Arya, widely praised Indra, faithless one, challenges us to battle,let our enemies be easy for you to overcome; with you let us vanquish them in combat.

10.38.4 The one invoked by the few and the many, who finds open space for men in battle,that famous, winning man Indra we bring near today for help in the contest.

10.38.5 I have heard of you, Indra, as self-sustaining, bull who drives the needy onward.Release yourself from Kutsa's hold and come here: why does one like you sit bound by the testicles?

Hymn 10.39 — Seer: Ghosha Kakshivati. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati; verse 14 Trishtubh.

10.39.1 That chariot of yours, Ashvins, circling the world and moving well, is called upon with offerings at night and dawn.We call your most ancient, readily invoked name as we call a father's.

10.39.2 Rouse truthful words; fill our thoughts and lift up abundance: that is what we wish.Make our share glorious, Ashvins, as sweet soma is prepared among generous men.

10.39.3 You are fortune even for the unmarried, helpers of the starving and the helpless;for the blind and the frail, Ashvins: they call you healers even of the broken.

10.39.4 You remade aged Chyavana young again for movement, as one fashions an old chariot anew.You bore Tugra's son out of the waters: all these deeds of yours must be told at our pressings.

10.39.5 I tell the people your ancient heroic deeds; you were healers who brought delight.We make new calls to you for help now, Ashvins; may this devotee place his faith in you.

10.39.6 This woman calls you: hear me, Ashvins, and give to me as parents give a child.Before poverty without kin or knowledge, or cruel reproach, save me from its threat.

10.39.7 You carried Purumitra's daughter in your chariot for Vimada as a bride.You came at Vadhrimati's call; you gave Purandhi an easy birth.

10.39.8 When the aged seer Kali approached death, you restored his youth.You lifted Vandana from a pit; you made Vishpala walk again at once.

10.39.9 You, Ashvins, raised Rebha, shut away, as though dead, from his hiding place.For Atri you cooled the scorching pit and made shelter for Saptavadhri.

10.39.10 You gave Pedu the white horse, Ashvins, with ninety-nine new prizes, a racerswift to run, a welcome friend, like Bhaga bringing delight to men.

10.39.11 No grief or trouble or fear reaches from any quarter the man, royal sons of Aditi,whom you, Ashvins of wondrous pathways, place at the chariot's front beside his wife.

10.39.12 Come in that chariot faster than thought, Ashvins, the chariot the Ribhus made for you.When it is harnessed, Heaven's daughter is born, and both days of Vivasvat are blessed.

10.39.13 Come in your victorious circuit; you pierced the mountain and filled Shayus's cow with milk, Ashvins.With your powers you released the quail swallowed in the wolf's very jaws.

10.39.14 We made this hymn for you, Ashvins, fashioned it as the Bhrigus fashion a chariot.We polished it like a bride for her husband, like a cherished son, as we bring forth offspring.

Hymn 10.40 — Seer: Ghosha Kakshivati. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati.

10.40.1 Where is your traveling chariot, men? Who adorns its shining form for good fortune?Coming each morning, reaching every clan, day after day it brings wise help.

10.40.2 Where are you at night, where by day, Ashvins? Where do you seek evening food and where do you rest?Who welcomes you to her bed like a widow welcoming her brother-in-law, a young woman her lover?

10.40.3 You wake each morning like an old man with his staff; day after day you visit a worshiper's house.Whose are you by night, men, and whose by day? Like royal sons, you attend the pressings.

10.40.4 Like hunters seeking game, we call on you morning and night with oblation, Ashvins.You offer the priest's portion in its season, men, and bear food to the people, lords of splendor.

10.40.5 Ghosha, walking round you, Ashvins, a king's daughter, says, “I ask you, men:Be with me by day, be with me by night; grant power to the charioteer with horses.”

10.40.6 You encircle the chariot, Ashvins, as poets do, and come to your singer like a whole people to Kutsa.Swiftly from you, Ashvins, women carry sweetness like a release from captivity.

10.40.7 You rescued Bhujyu, Ashvins, and Vasha; you came to Shinjar and Ushanas.Your friendships stand open all around; through your help I seek favor.

10.40.8 You saved Krisha and Shayu, Ashvins, and the worshiping widow.For the generous you opened the seven-mouthed cattle pen while it thundered.

10.40.9 The woman was born, the child ran toward a husband; beautiful plants spread in their many forms.The rivers flow to him as into a resting-place; on that day his marriage begins.

10.40.10 They cry for one living, then rejoice at the sacrifice; men think on the long road ahead.Those who offer this grace to their fathers, women who bring joy for husbands to embrace.

10.40.11 We do not know its secret; tell us clearly, how a young man lies in a young woman's womb.We wish to enter the home of the dear, fertile bull and his cow, Ashvins.

10.40.12 Your good favor has come to us, rich in prizes, Ashvins; desires have settled in our hearts.Be our two guardians, lords of splendor; may we enter Aryaman's beloved house.

10.40.13 Delighting in the human home, give wealth with heroes to the singer.Make the ford with good drinking water, lords of splendor, and strike down the fixed obstacle and ill will in the path.

10.40.14 Where today, Ashvins, among which peoples do you wondrous lords delight?Who has received you? To whose house have you gone, a singer's or a sacrificer's?

Hymn 10.41 — Seer: Suhastya Ghausheya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati.

10.41.1 At daybreak we call with lovely hymns on that same thrice-wheeled, much-invoked, praiseworthy chariot,traveling all around, fit for the assembly, coming to the soma pressings.

10.41.2 Ashvins, mount your morning-yoked chariot, arriving at dawn, laden with honey.In it you visit the sacrificing clans, men, and even a poor man's sacrifice with its priest.

10.41.3 Whether you visit the wise-handed officiant with honey in his hand, or the diligent householder tending fire,or the singer's pressings, come from there to drink honey, Ashvins.

Hymn 10.42 — Seer: Krishna Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.42.1 Like an archer shooting his shaft farther, bring a song to him as a man brings an ornament.Singers, overcome an opponent's speech with speech; singer, bring Indra to rest beside the soma.

10.42.2 Milk the cow and instruct your friend; awaken Indra, the lover, singer.Shake down the hero for generous gifts like a vessel full of wealth.

10.42.3 Why, generous one, do they call you a provider? Teach me, for I hear you are a teacher.Let my thought be effective, mighty one; Indra, bring us Bhaga, finder of wealth.

10.42.4 People standing in their contests call out to you, Indra, amid combat.Here he makes an ally of the one with oblation; the hero seeks no friendship with one who presses no soma.

10.42.5 For the man who presses him strong somas with offering, wealth flows abundant as a river.At dawn he strikes down Vritra and binds that man's well-armed enemies fast.

10.42.6 Indra, on whom we place our hope, generous one who has fulfilled our desire,may his enemy fear even from afar; let the splendors won among men bow to him.

10.42.7 Drive the enemy away, far off, much-invoked fierce one, with your power.Give us barley and cattle, Indra, and fashion thought rich in the prize for your singer.

10.42.8 For him fierce somas flow in abundance when bull-minded men approach Indra.The generous one never restrains his gift; he carries ample beauty to the presser.

10.42.9 He wins even over the reckless gambler when the skilled player chooses the winning cast in season.The self-sustaining one joins to wealth the man who seeks the gods and withholds no riches.

10.42.10 With cattle may we cross grievous want, with barley every hunger, much-invoked one.Let us, first among kings, win treasures through the strength of our own people.

10.42.11 Let Brihaspati guard us from behind, from the north, and from the evil one below.Let Indra, our friend, make room for his friends before us and in our midst.

Hymn 10.43 — Seer: Krishna Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 10–11 Trishtubh.

10.43.1 All my thoughts, finding sunlight, go straight toward Indra with desire and praise.They embrace the generous one for help as wives embrace a husband, a young man beautifully arrayed.

10.43.2 My mind never turns away from you, mace-bearer; on you alone, much-invoked one, I place my desire.Sit upon the ritual grass like a king, wondrous one; here in this soma let there be drink for you.

10.43.3 Indra rescues from poverty and hunger; the generous lord commands riches and treasure.For his strong bull-power these seven rivers flow down their slopes, and living creatures grow.

10.43.4 As birds settle in a tree rich with leaves, exhilarating somas, resting in bowls, settle upon Indra.Their front ranks flash with might; he found sunlight for Manu, Arya light.

10.43.5 As a skilled gambler chooses the winning throw, the generous one gathered the sun in his embrace.No other can match that heroic deed of yours, generous one, ancient or new.

10.43.6 The generous bull has visited clan after clan and attended the praises of the people.For him whom mighty Indra favors at the pressing, strong soma overcomes hostile armies.

10.43.7 As waters pour toward the sea, somas flow together to Indra like channels into a lake.Singers enlarge his great dwelling, as rain from heaven swells barley with its water.

10.43.8 Like an enraged bull he sped through the air; he made these waters wives of the noble one.For the pressing, generous giver he found light, for Manu the offerer of oblations.

10.43.9 Let the axe rise with the light; let the cow rich in Truth give good milk as of old.Let the ruddy one shine out in pure radiance; let the bright lord of beings blaze like sunlight.

10.43.10 With cattle may we cross grievous want, with barley every hunger, much-invoked one.Let us, first among kings, win treasures through the strength of our own people.

10.43.11 Let Brihaspati guard us from behind, from the north, and from the evil one below.Let Indra, our friend, make room for his friends before us and in our midst.

Hymn 10.44 — Seer: Krishna Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 1–3 and 10–11 Trishtubh.

10.44.1 May Indra come, self-governing lord, to be gladdened; true to ordinance, mighty, hastening forward.He reaches beyond all rival powers with boundless, great bull-strength.

10.44.2 Firm stands your chariot and well-bridled your bays; your mace flashes in your hand, lord of men.Come swiftly here by the good path, king; we will increase the heroic deeds of you who drink.

10.44.3 Let Indra's horses bring the lord of men, fierce mace-armed one of mighty power,the far-reaching bull whose strength is true, to share this feast with us.

10.44.4 So, conscious lord who wins the vat, you stand as the pillar and support of strength like a bull.Gather might within yourself and hold your kin together, that you may increase, lord of those who drink.

10.44.5 Come to us with riches; come to the praising ones with good blessings, to the soma pressers.You are lord: sit here on the ritual grass; by ordinance your vessels cannot be seized.

10.44.6 The earliest invocations of the gods went separate ways and accomplished unassailable deeds of fame.Those who could not board the sacrificial ship sank into the floods, trembling.

10.44.7 Let the later, misguided men go away, whose horses are hard to harness.But those who give ahead of others remain here, where abundant ways of sustenance await.

10.44.8 He held fast the quaking mountains and plains; heaven roared and shook the spaces between.He props apart the two joined worlds; drinking the bull's rapture, he praises the hymns.

10.44.9 I bear this well-fashioned goad of yours with which you break the hoof-breakers, generous one.Let your home be at this pressing; awake, generous one, to the offering of pressed soma.

10.44.10 With cattle may we cross grievous want, with barley every hunger, much-invoked one.Let us, first among kings, win treasures through the strength of our own people.

10.44.11 Let Brihaspati guard us from behind, from the north, and from the evil one below.Let Indra, our friend, make room for his friends before us and in our midst.

Hymn 10.45 — Seer: Vatsapri Bhalandana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.45.1 Agni was born first from heaven; Jatavedas was born second from us.Third, among the waters, man-minded and unceasing, a wise singer kindles and praises him.

10.45.2 Agni, we know your threefold forms and your three births; we know your stations spread through many places.We know your highest secret name; we know the spring from which you came.

10.45.3 In the sea among the waters, man-minded seer, I lit you in heaven's udder, Agni.The mighty ones nourished you standing in the third region, in the waters' lap.

10.45.4 Agni cried out like thunderous heaven, licking the ground, wrapping himself around the plants.Newborn, when kindled he shone out at once, shining with his brilliance between heaven and earth.

10.45.5 Giver of beauty, supporter of riches, sender of thought, guardian of soma,treasure, son of strength, king in the waters, he shines when kindled before the dawns.

10.45.6 Sign of all creation, embryo of the world, he filled heaven and earth at his birth.He broke open even the firm mountain as he traveled, when the five peoples worshiped Agni.

10.45.7 Desiring and pure, a tireless wise guide, immortal Agni has been set among mortals.He sends up his ruddy smoke, setting heaven alight with his brilliant flame.

10.45.8 Visible, he glowed far and wide like gold, shining gloriously through a life hard to master.Agni became immortal through his life-force when heaven, rich in seed, gave birth to him.

10.45.9 Whoever today makes for you, Agni of blessed flame, a cake rich in ghee,lead him farther toward good things and the gods' favor, youngest god.

10.45.10 Give him a share in fine renown, Agni; give him a share whenever hymns are sung.Let him be dear to Surya, dear to Agni; let him rise above his birth and his ancestors.

10.45.11 Day after day your worshipers, Agni, have gained all desired treasures through you.Seeking riches with you, eager men have opened the cattle-rich pen.

10.45.12 The seers praised Agni, gracious to men, guardian of soma, fire of all peoples.Let us call on Heaven and Earth without hatred; gods, give us wealth rich in heroes.

Hymn 10.46 — Seer: Vatsapri Bhalandana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.46.1 The great priest, born, finding the sky, sat among men, or in the waters' lap.Like a swift horse he was set in place; he guides riches to the worshiper and guards the body.

10.46.2 Worshiping this one in the waters' gathering-place, they followed his tracks like a lost beast.Wise, eager Bhrigus sought with homage and found him moving in secret.

10.46.3 Seeking him, Trita found him in many places, at the head of the cow of all forms.Born to increase happiness in the dwellings, he becomes the young center of the light.

10.46.4 The eager men with homage made him their joyful priest, leader of eastward sacrifice,a pure emissary of the clans, bearer of oblations, establishing him among men.

10.46.5 They led forth the mighty, vigorous one, guardian of wisdom, wise though they were foolish, breaker of fortresses.Bearing the forest-born child, they set the golden-bearded, horse-like one in their thoughts, winner of wealth.

10.46.6 Trita set him deep in dwellings; wrapped all around, he sat within the womb.From there the household lord of the clans, held fast by ordinance, reaches men with his instruments.

10.46.7 His ageless fires, oarsmen of the house, are blazing and smoke-bright, purifying:white-gleaming, swift, sustaining, dwelling in forests, like winds, like somas.

10.46.8 Trembling Agni carries forward with his tongue, and with his mind the designs of the earth.Men established him, shining and pure, the joyous priest most fit to worship.

10.46.9 Heaven and Earth gave birth to Agni; the waters, Tvashtar, and the Bhrigus brought him forth with their powers.Matarishvan first fashioned him, worthy of praise, and the gods made him worshipful for Manu.

10.46.10 You whom gods set as bearer of oblations, men as much-desired worshiper,Agni, grant the singer vigor on his journey; you bring the ancient glories together for the god-seeker.

Hymn 10.47 — Seer: Saptagu Angirasa. Deity: Indra Vaikuntha. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.47.1 We grasp your right hand, Indra, longing for wealth, lord of riches.We know you as the heroic guardian of cattle; give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.2 With fine weapons, good support and good guidance, drawing riches from the four oceans,winning and praiseworthy, meeting many needs—give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.3 With fine prayers and gods, lofty, broad, deep and wide of foundation, Indra,a fierce and celebrated seer, overcoming enemies—give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.4 Winning prizes, rich in inspired heroes, a rescuer, seizing treasure, flourishing with skill,Dasyu-slayer, breaker of forts, truthful Indra—give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.5 With horses and chariots and heroes, a thousandfold prize and a hundredfold prize, Indra,with a blessed band of wise heroes, reaching sunlight—give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.6 My thought goes toward Saptagu, wise thinker of Truth, toward Brihaspati,the Angiras worthy of approach with homage—give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.7 My messenger songs go seeking Indra, desiring his good favor,touching the heart and uttered by the mind—give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

10.47.8 Give us what I ask of you, Indra: a vast dwelling incomparable among men.Let Heaven and Earth proclaim it: give us resplendent, fruitful wealth.

Hymn 10.48 — Seer: Indra Vaikuntha. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 7 and 10–11 Trishtubh.

10.48.1 I became lord of ancient wealth; I win treasure continually.Creatures call on me like a father; I allot sustenance to the giver.

10.48.2 I, Indra, opened the enclosure for Atharvan and brought forth cattle for Trita from the serpent.I took the Dasyus' strength from them and opened the cattle pens for Dadhyanch and Matarishvan.

10.48.3 Tvashtar shaped the iron mace for me, and the gods bestowed strength on me.My front line is as hard to cross as the sun's; they honor me for deeds done and yet to do.

10.48.4 I win this cattle-rich, horse-rich, teeming herd and golden booty with my arrow.I crush many thousands for the giver when the somas and hymns delight me.

10.48.5 I am Indra; I have never lost wealth, nor ever yielded to death.Ask me, you who press soma, for riches; Purus, do not fail in friendship with me.

10.48.6 I defeated those who loudly challenged Indra in twos, fashioning maces for battle.As they called out, I struck them down, the boasters and the stubborn who scorned worship.

10.48.7 I alone prevail against one, or against two; what can three do?I beat back multitudes as grain is threshed upon the floor; why do Indra-less foes revile me?

10.48.8 I brought Atithigva forth from the Gungus, sustained among the clans a food supply that broke Vritra.When I struck Parnaya or slew Karanja, I became famous in the great battle with Vritra.

10.48.9 My friend Nami sought me for food and enjoyment; he formed a second friendship seeking cattle.When I exalted his flashing weapon in battles, then I made him worthy of praise in hymns.

10.48.10 Part of the soma is seen within him; the keeper makes another part appear.Eager to fight the sharp-horned bull, he stood trapped in the abundant snare of deceit.

10.48.11 I do not diminish the station of Adityas, Vasus, or Rudras, being god among gods.They fashioned me for blessed strength, unconquered, unhurt, irresistible.

Hymn 10.49 — Seer: Indra Vaikuntha. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 2 and 11 Trishtubh.

10.49.1 I give the singer ancient treasure and make prayer that increases me.I stir the worshiper and stand witness against the non-sacrificer in every struggle.

10.49.2 Creatures of heaven and earth and the waters call me Indra, god in name.I harness my swift, strong bay horses, breakers of barriers, and take my bold mace for strength.

10.49.3 I cut off the poet's defenses with blows; I guarded Kutsa with my protections.I destroyed the killing power of Shushna, who would not surrender an Arya's name to a Dasyu.

10.49.4 Like a father to his sons seeking help, I subdued Tugra and mighty Shmadibha for Kutsa.I became the worshiper's king, when I drove forth in battle for Tuji, beloved and bold.

10.49.5 I subdued Mrigaya for Shrutarvan when he called on my arts.I made Vesha bow for Ayu and subdued Padgribhi for Savya.

10.49.6 I am he who shattered Navavastva and Brihadratha, like Vritra the Dasa, as Vritra-slayer.As I kept growing and expanding, I made a light far beyond the sky.

10.49.7 I drive around the sun, borne by swift steeds and power.When the mortal presser told me what adornment to wear, I severed the Dasa's work with blows.

10.49.8 I overcame the sevenfold Nahusha and made Turvasha and Yadu famed by my strength.I brought down another mighty worker of force, ninety-nine and nine obstructors.

10.49.9 I, the bull, held the seven flowing streams upon the earth's running furrows.I, wise in purpose, spread the floods; in battle I found a path for Manu to fulfill his wish.

10.49.10 I placed in the waters a brightness that no god, not even Tvashtar, had placed there:from the cows' desired udders and the streams came the honey's honey, swift soma mixed with milk.

10.49.11 So Indra stretched the gods and men; the generous one bestows the true prize by his power.All these people, bay-horsed, mighty one, praise your own glory as they press on.

Hymn 10.50 — Seer: Indra Vaikuntha. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati; verses 3–4 Abhisarini, verse 7 Trishtubh.

10.50.1 Sing to the mighty one rejoicing in the drink, to the god of all men, born of all.Heaven and Earth honor Indra's vast strength, his glorious fame and heroic power.

10.50.2 He is a manly lord in friendship, acclaimed and victorious, Indra, for men like me.In every harnessing for prizes, true lord, in the struggle with Vritra and the waters, hero, you rejoice.

10.50.3 Who are your men, Indra, who seek your food and long for your nourishing favor?Who strive for the mighty prize and for heroic power in the fertile, well-watered lands?

10.50.4 You grew great, Indra, through prayer, worthy of sacrifice at every pressing.You are men's driving force in every struggle, the eldest counsel, seeing all peoples.

10.50.5 Surpass us, greater one, lover of sacrifice; all peoples know your vast measure.Grow ageless, then: we prepare all these pressings for you.

10.50.6 We prepare all these pressings for you, son of strength, the ones you have yourself established.For your choosing we set out the vessel, according to ordinance: sacrifice, hymn, prayer, and uplifted word.

10.50.7 Your inspired makers of prayer, at the pressing, join in giving treasure upon treasure.May your gracious favor come by the mind's path in the rapture of the pressed soma drink.

Hymn 10.51 — Seers: the gods in verses 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Agni Sauchika in verses 2, 4, 6, 8. Deities: Agni in verses 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; the gods in verses 2, 4, 6, 8. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.51.1 Great was that covering, ancient that shell in which you hid when you entered the waters.One god saw your many forms, Agni Jatavedas, all at once.

10.51.2 “Who saw me? Which god beheld my many different forms?Where are all Agni's godward kindlings dwelling, Mitra and Varuna?”

10.51.3 “We sought you in many places, Jatavedas, entered into waters and plants, Agni.Yama recognized you there, bright one, shining out from your ten hiding places.”

10.51.4 “I fled from priestly duty in fear, Varuna, lest the gods yoke me here to it.My bodies hid in many places for this purpose; I, Agni, did not understand the work.”

10.51.5 “Come, Agni; god-seeking Manu longs for sacrifice. Will you dwell in darkness when all is made ready?Make easy the paths that go to the gods, and gladly carry the oblations.”

10.51.6 “My older brothers, the fires, followed that course as a charioteer follows the road.From fear of that, Varuna, I fled far away, trembling like a wild beast before the archer.”

10.51.7 “We shall make your life ageless, Agni, so that once yoked, Jatavedas, you will not perish.Gladly then carry the gods their portions of oblation, well-born one.”

10.51.8 “Give me the fore-offerings and after-offerings alone, and a vigorous share of the oblation,and the ghee of the waters and the essence of plants; gods, grant Agni long life.”

10.51.9 “Yours alone shall be the fore-offerings and after-offerings, your vigorous shares of oblation.Agni, this whole sacrifice shall be yours; let the four directions bow to you.”

Hymn 10.52 — Seer: Agni Sauchika. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.52.1 “All-Gods, instruct me, chosen to sit as priest here for Manu.Tell me how your shares are divided, and by what path I should bring oblation to you.”

10.52.2 “I sit as priest, best worshiper; all the gods and Maruts urge me on.Day after day, Ashvins, your officiant and kindling priest join your offerings in prayer.”

10.52.3 “What of this priest of Yama? Whom must I convey when the gods anoint him?Day after day he is born, month after month, and the gods made him bearer of oblations.”

10.52.4 “The gods made me bearer of oblations, hidden away, wandering through many hardships.Let wise Agni arrange our sacrifice, fivefold in journey, threefold in form, seven-threaded.”

10.52.5 “I will worship you toward immortality with fine heroes, gods, making room for you.Let me set the mace in Indra's arms; then he will win every battle.”

10.52.6 Three hundred, three thousand, thirty and nine gods honored Agni.They anointed him with ghee, spread ritual grass for him, then seated him as priest.

Hymn 10.53 — Seers: the gods, and Agni Sauchika in verses 4–5. Deities: Agni, and the gods in verses 4–5. Meter: Trishtubh in verses 1–5 and 8; Jagati in verses 6–7 and 9–11.

10.53.1 The one we sought in thought has come, knowing the sacrifice and discerning its joints.Best worshiper, let him worship for us among the gods, for he sits here, nearer than before.

10.53.2 The priest has succeeded, best worshiper sitting down; he sees the well-prepared offerings.Come, let us sacrifice to the worshipful gods and praise those worthy of praise with ghee.

10.53.3 Today he has made our divine feast effective; we have found the hidden tongue of the sacrifice.That life-bringer has come clothed in fragrance and made our summons to the gods auspicious today.

10.53.4 “Today let me first conceive that word by which we gods shall overcome the mighty ones.You five peoples, giving strength and worthy of worship, accept my priestly work.”

10.53.5 “Let the five peoples accept my priestly work, those born of the cow and fit for sacrifice.May earth guard us from earthly distress, and the midspace from heavenly harm.”

10.53.6 Stretch the thread, follow the light of the sky; guard in thought the luminous paths that thought has made.Weave unbroken the work of the singers; be Manu, bring forth a divine people.

10.53.7 Bind the yoke and stretch the harness, companions of soma; make bridles, weave, and ornament.Draw the chariot with eight seats all around, in which the gods traveled toward the beloved.

10.53.8 The rocky river runs; take hold of one another. Rise and cross over, friends.Here we leave those who were hostile; may we cross to fortunate prizes.

10.53.9 Tvashtar knows the crafts of the most skillful workers and carries vessels most welcome for the gods to drink.Now Brahmanaspati sharpens his iron axe, with which the swift steed will cut.

10.53.10 Singers, sharpen now the tools with which you shaped immortality.Knowingly make the secret steps by which the gods attained immortal life.

10.53.11 They placed an embryo in a woman's womb, a calf, secretly with mind and tongue.Gladly, always ready, the eager maker wins victory.

Hymn 10.54 — Seer: Brihaduktha Vamadevya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.54.1 Such is your fame and greatness, generous one: heaven and earth called on you in fear.You saved the gods, surpassed the Dasa's strength, when you cared for these offspring, Indra.

10.54.2 When you went forth, growing in body and speaking among peoples of your powers, Indra,those battles they describe are your wonders; you sought no enemy today, nor even before.

10.54.3 Which seers before us reached the end of all your greatness,when you gave birth together to your mother and father out of your own body?

10.54.4 Four divine names of yours, mighty bull, are inviolable.You know them all, the names by which you performed your deeds, generous one.

10.54.5 You alone possess all treasures, those manifest and those concealed.Do not pass over my desire, generous one: you are its knower, Indra, and its giver.

10.54.6 He who placed light within light and brought sweet things together with sweetness—then a beloved, powerful hymn for Indra was spoken by Brihaduktha, maker of prayer.

Hymn 10.55 — Seer: Brihaduktha Vamadevya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.55.1 Far off is the hidden name by which two frightened bearers of strength called you;you propped up earth and heaven nearby, mighty Indra, blazing against your brother's sons.

10.55.2 Great is the secret name that touches many, by which you made what was and what shall be;the ancient light born dear to him, the five beloved ones entered together.

10.55.3 He filled heaven and earth and the space between, the five gods in their seasons, seven by seven;through thirty-four he looks in many ways, with light of one shape spread wide.

10.55.4 When you first lit the dawn, first of radiant beings, you brought fullness to all that thrives;when your kinship stood beneath the higher one, the great power of the mighty was one.

10.55.5 The gray one awakened the young one, trembling among many;see the god's great artistry: what died today was alive yesterday.

10.55.6 Powerful with power, red-winged eagle, mighty hero, ancient in his nest;what he knows is true, not vain: desirable wealth, both victor and giver.

10.55.7 Through these he acquired manly powers; by these the mace-bearer grew for Vritra's defeat;gods arose from the great working of the work, through Truth's work.

10.55.8 With his ally, mighty in all, creating works, destroying curses, intent on all, overcoming swiftly,he drank soma and grew toward heaven; the hero drove the Dasyus off in battle.

Hymn 10.56 — Seer: Brihaduktha Vamadevya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meters: Trishtubh; verses 4–6, Jagati.

10.56.1 This is one of your forms, that another; enter into your third, the light;be beautiful of body in your resting place, dear to the gods in the highest birthplace.

10.56.2 May the bodies that lead your body, champion, grant us delight and you shelter;unbent, for the great support of gods, measure out your own light as if in heaven.

10.56.3 Champion, well borne by your champion's strength, you brought forth song and went happily to heaven;well guided along the first true laws, well led to the gods, well led along your flight.

10.56.4 Not even the fathers commanded their greatness; the gods placed power among gods;they spread abroad and returned to their shining bodies again.

10.56.5 With their powers they circled all space, measuring boundless ancient abodes;they contained all worlds in their bodies, stretching offspring in every direction.

10.56.6 Twice their sons established the sun-finding Asura through a third deed;the fathers placed ancestral power and an extended thread in their descendants.

10.56.7 Like a boat across the earth's rushing waters, through every hardship with blessings,Brihaduktha in greatness placed his own descendants among those of later ages.

Hymn 10.57 — Seers: Bandhu, Shrutabandhu, and Viprabandhu Gaupayanas. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Gayatri.

10.57.1 Let us not stray from the path, from sacrifice to Indra rich in soma;let enmities not overtake us.

10.57.2 May we reach the invoked thread of sacrifice,stretched among the gods to make it succeed.

10.57.3 We call the mind back with soma and Narashamsa,and with the fathers' hymns.

10.57.4 May your mind come back again for resolve, skill, and life,that you may long behold the sun.

10.57.5 May the fathers, the divine people, return our mind to us;may we join the company of the living.

10.57.6 Soma, bearing mind in our bodies under your ordinance,may we live together, blessed with children.

Hymn 10.58 — Seers: Bandhu, Shrutabandhu, and Viprabandhu Gaupayanas. Deity: the Returning Mind. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.58.1 If your mind has traveled far away to Yama Vaivasvata,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.2 If your mind has traveled far to heaven or earth,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.3 If your mind has traveled far to the four-cornered land,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.4 If your mind has traveled far to the four directions,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.5 If your mind has traveled far to the surging sea,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.6 If your mind has traveled far to the sunbeams and descending slopes,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.7 If your mind has traveled far to the waters or the plants,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.8 If your mind has traveled far to Surya or Ushas,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.9 If your mind has traveled far to the towering mountains,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.10 If your mind has traveled far to this whole moving world,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.11 If your mind has traveled far to the furthest distances,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

10.58.12 If your mind has traveled far to past or future,we call it back to dwell here and to live.

Hymn 10.59 — Seers: Bandhu, Shrutabandhu, and Viprabandhu Gopayanas. Deities: Nirriti (1–3), Nirriti and Soma (4), Asuniti (5–6), Earth, Heaven, midair, Soma, Pushan, and Pathya Svasti (7), Heaven and Earth (8–10), Indra (first half of 10). Meters: Trishtubh; verse 8, Pankti; verse 9, Maha-Pankti; verse 10, Pankti-Uttara.

10.59.1 Let our life pass onward to greater years, like a charioteer steady at his skillful chariot;let Nirriti, slipping away and leaving her purpose, go very far from us.

10.59.2 May we gain song, stored riches and food, and many kinds of fame;may the singer enjoy all these; let Nirriti go very far from us.

10.59.3 May we prevail over rivals by courage, as heaven over earth and mountains over plains;may the singer know all these; let Nirriti go very far from us.

10.59.4 Soma, do not hand us over to death; may we see the rising sun;may age come gently through our days; let Nirriti go very far from us.

10.59.5 Asuniti, keep the mind in us; lengthen our years for life;let us delight in seeing the sun; enrich your body with ghee.

10.59.6 Asuniti, restore our sight and breath, and let us have enjoyment here again;may we see the rising sun for long; Anumati, bless us with well-being.

10.59.7 May Earth return our breath, and divine Heaven and midair restore it;may Soma restore our body, and Pushan the safe and kindly path.

10.59.8 May the mighty Heaven and Earth, mothers of Truth, bring healing to Subandhu;carry away the harm, Heaven and Earth; let no harm touch you, Earth.

10.59.9 Two medicines and three medicines move down from heaven;one healing remedy moves on earth: carry away the harm, Heaven and Earth; let no harm touch you, Earth.

10.59.10 Indra, drive together the cow and draught ox that brought the wagon of the Ushinaras;carry away the harm, Heaven and Earth; let no harm touch you, Earth.

Hymn 10.60 — Seers: Bandhu, Shrutabandhu, and Viprabandhu Gaupayanas; verse 6, their mother, Agastya's sister. Deities: Asamati (1–4, 6), Indra (5), the living man (7–11), the Hand (12). Meters: Gayatri (1–5), Anushtubh; verses 8–9, Pankti.

10.60.1 We have come with homage to the brilliant people,praised among the Mahinas.

10.60.2 To Asamati, fierce pursuer, lord of Bhajeratha,whose chariot speeds with fire.

10.60.3 He stood above the peoples like a bull, armed with spears,and fought armed even without spears.

10.60.4 Under his ordinance Ikshvaku thrives, rich and deathless,like the five tribes in heaven.

10.60.5 Indra, establish kingship among the Asamatis, upon their chariot-seats,that they may see like the sun in heaven.

10.60.6 Yoke the two red horses of Agastya's kin to the team;you have trampled all the ungenerous Panis, king.

10.60.7 Here is your mother, here your father; here comes the giver of life;here is your path back, Subandhu: come in, come out.

10.60.8 As they bind a yoke with straps to hold it firm,so I hold fast your mind for life, not death, and for freedom from harm.

10.60.9 As this great earth holds fast the trees,so I hold fast your mind for life, not death, and for freedom from harm.

10.60.10 From Yama Vaivasvata I brought back Subandhu's mind,for life, not death, and for freedom from harm.

10.60.11 The wind blows downward and the sun burns downward;the inviolate cow gives milk downward: may your affliction sink down.

10.60.12 This hand of mine is blessed, and this hand more blessed still;this hand holds every remedy, this hand bestows a healing touch.

Hymn 10.61 — Seer: Nabhanedishtha Manava. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.61.1 Here is the fierce, praised utterance, this prayer of resolve and might in battle;when his parents worked for bounty, on the appointed day he crossed over the seven priests.

10.61.2 Seeking a gift to win, he went down, measuring the altar with his hands;moving swiftly, the praised voice poured seed like a torrent from here for aid.

10.61.3 Like keen thought at their summons, the rivers run in power for the prize;with arrows the man of great strength fitted the region to his hand.

10.61.4 When darkness settles upon the red cows, I call you, Ashvins, children of heaven;come to my sacrifice, taste my food, eager ones, without forgetting me.

10.61.5 Whose heroic deed stretched widest? The hero drove back what stood against him;then once more the unbridled one draws forth what belonged to the maiden daughter.

10.61.6 When the deed was done nearby, the father and young daughter fulfilling desire,they parted, letting the seed fall upon the height, in the well-fashioned womb.

10.61.7 When the father mounted his daughter and poured seed upon the earth,the thoughtful gods fashioned sacred speech and shaped Vastospati, guardian of ordinances.

10.61.8 Like a bull he scattered foam in the contest and went away rejoicing, careless;his wandering feet turned not rightward: my spotted ones have not caught them yet.

10.61.9 Swift as a bearer of offspring's birth, like a naked man he approached Agni's udder;he won fuel and food; born to uphold, he grew young by strength.

10.61.10 Swiftly the Angirases won the maiden's friendship, speaking Truth and coming yoked to Truth;the twice-lofty ones came to the herdsman and milked the unfailing cows without fee.

10.61.11 Swiftly they sought new friendship with the maiden and, seeking Truth, wealth like seed;they offered your pure treasure, the milk of the ever-milking cow.

10.61.12 When after the beast they wake separated, the speaker says so with delight;the singers seek the rich one's riches unhindered, every treasure amid the people.

10.61.13 Then his attendants gathered, sitting in numbers, eager to break the old inheritance;the unbridled one found what lay hidden, bound up by Shushna, rich in offspring.

10.61.14 His name is Radiance, and gods like sunlight sat in his threefold dwelling;his name is Agni, Jatavedas: hear us, invoker, unfailing priest of Truth.

10.61.15 And for my praise and worship I call the two flame-bright Ashvins and Indra;like Manu they spread the ritual grass and rejoice in the people's well-placed offerings.

10.61.16 Praised, the king, the maker, honored, the wise one crosses waters by his own bridge;he stirred Kakshivan and Agni like the rim of a swift-running horse's wheel.

10.61.17 He of twofold kinship, crossing the river, worships to milk the cow with her calf;with foremost hymns he wins Mitra and Varuna, and Aryaman with their protection.

10.61.18 The wise kinsman, thinker of heaven, Nabhanedishtha sings in yearning;that is our deepest kinship: however late I may come, I belong to it.

10.61.19 This is my navel, here my gathering place, these are my gods; here I am whole;twice-born, firstborn of Truth, this cow gave milk at her birth.

10.61.20 Then the joyous radiant messenger runs through the woods on his double course;when his flame rises like a hungry child, the mother quickly bears one firm and nourishing.

10.61.21 Then the cows went behind the maiden, past the breathless one;hear us, giver of fine riches; you grew with truthful words for the horse-slayer.

10.61.22 Now, Indra, think of us for great wealth, lord of men, mace-armed;protect our generous patrons, keep our benefactors unharmed with your help, lord of bay horses.

10.61.23 When the two kings run in search of cows, the swift one sings for the singer;he became their dearest inspired one; he will carry and bring them across.

10.61.24 Now we call freely for the strength of this victorious one;Saranyu, his son, the horse: you are wise in winning fame.

10.61.25 If you have welcomed the reverent song for friendship with us, for our strength,may all our voices converge there, like an ancient path offered to true speech.

10.61.26 Praised with waters and divine companions, this good kinsman grows by homage and hymns;with swelling songs and words he now travels the paths of the ruddy cow's milk.

10.61.27 O mighty worshipful gods, come together to help us,you who brought prizes from afar, who know and are never foolish.

Hymn 10.62 — Seer: Nabhanedishtha Manava. Deity: the All-Gods, or the Angirases (1–6); verses 8–11, the gift of Savarni. Meters: Jagati; verses 5, 8–9, Anushtubh; verse 6, Brihati; verse 7, Sato-Brihati; verse 10, Gayatri; verse 11, Trishtubh.

10.62.1 You who through sacrifice and gifts won Indra's friendship and immortality,blessing be yours, Angirases; wise ones, receive the son of Manu.

10.62.2 The fathers who raised the treasure of cattle and broke Vala in the year by Truth:long life be yours, Angirases; wise ones, receive the son of Manu.

10.62.3 You who raised the sun into heaven by Truth and spread mother earth wide:may your children thrive, Angirases; wise ones, receive the son of Manu.

10.62.4 Our Nabha speaks beautifully in your home, god-born seers: listen;may sacred speech be yours, Angirases: wise ones, receive Manu's descendant.

10.62.5 These seers are manifold in form, their inspiration deep;these sons of Angiras were born all around Agni.

10.62.6 Born around Agni, various in form, from around heaven,the ninefold and tenfold Angirases flourish most among the gods.

10.62.7 With Indra as ally, the singers opened the pen of cows and horses;the givers of a thousand, with eight-marked ears, won fame among the gods.

10.62.8 Now may this Manu be born; let him rise like a young shoot,who at once gives a thousand and a hundred horses.

10.62.9 No one can reach the summit of his gifts, any more than heaven's peak;Savarni's bounty has spread wide as a river.

10.62.10 And the Dasas, with cattle all about, were appointed to serve us;Yadu and Turvasha have enriched me.

10.62.11 Let Manu, leader of the settlement, giver of thousands, not perish; let his gift strive beside the sun;gods, lengthen Savarni's life, under whom we have tirelessly won wealth.

Hymn 10.63 — Seer: Gaya Plata. Deity: the All-Gods; verses 15–16, Pathya Svasti. Meters: Jagati; verses 16–17, Trishtubh.

10.63.1 Let those gods who formed a bond from afar, dear to Manu, children of Vivasvat,who sit on Nahusha Yayati's ritual grass, speak in our favor.

10.63.2 All your names deserve homage and praise, gods, and are worthy of sacrifice;you born of Aditi, of the waters, and of earth, hear my call here.

10.63.3 Their mother pours honeyed milk for them, ambrosia, heaven and lofty Aditi;for well-being I rejoice in the Adityas, strong in hymns, powerful as bulls, beautiful in deeds.

10.63.4 Seeing men, unblinking, worthy, the mighty gods have won immortality;with chariots of light, free from guilt and hidden malice, they inhabit heaven's height for our welfare.

10.63.5 Those sovereigns who prosper well came to sacrifice and made their unfailing home in heaven;I honor those mighty Adityas and Aditi with reverent songs for our welfare.

10.63.6 Who can satisfy you with praise, All-Gods, when you stand among men?Who can prepare a rite for you, many-born ones, and carry us beyond distress to safety?

10.63.7 For you Manu first sacrificed at the rite, with kindled Agni and seven priests;Adityas, grant secure shelter; make our ways easy and safe.

10.63.8 Wise rulers of the world, knowing everything that moves and stands,keep us safe today from sins committed and uncommitted, gods.

10.63.9 In battle we call Indra, easy to invoke, divine helper who frees from distress;Agni, Mitra, Varuna and Bhaga for victory, Heaven and Earth and Maruts for well-being.

10.63.10 May we board the divine boat, saving Earth and faultless Heaven,Aditi of good shelter and guidance, sound, well rowed and leak-free, for our safety.

10.63.11 All worshipful ones, speak up to aid us; protect us from ill-will and deceit;we invoke you with truthful prayer: hear us, gods, for safety.

10.63.12 Drive off disease and every unwelcome sacrifice, hostile poverty and the evildoer;keep hatred far from us, gods; grant broad shelter for our welfare.

10.63.13 That mortal thrives unhurt and has abundant offspring through the ordinance,whom you Adityas lead by fair ways through every trouble to safety.

10.63.14 The one you gods aid in winning prizes, Maruts, in winning heroes and the appointed treasure:Indra, let us mount that victorious, unharmed, dawn-reaching chariot for safety.

10.63.15 May there be safety on roads and deserts, safety in waters, at home and in sunlight;safety in the wombs that bear our children: Maruts, give safety with riches.

10.63.16 For safety is best upon the highway, rich in treasures, bringing blessing;let her protect us at home and abroad, welcome within, guarded by gods.

10.63.17 So Gaya, Plata's son, the wise one, has strengthened you, All-Adityas and Aditi;immortal lords, your heavenly people have been praised by Gaya.

Hymn 10.64 — Seer: Gaya Plata. Deity: the All-Gods. Meters: Jagati; verses 12, 16–17, Trishtubh.

10.64.1 On which god's path shall we speak the fair name for them to hear?Who will show mercy, who will give us joy, which god will turn to help us?

10.64.2 Purposes press toward purpose in our hearts; inspired thoughts fly in every direction;no other helpers exist beyond these: I set my hopes among the gods.

10.64.3 With song I praise Narashamsa, Pushan who is not concealed, Agni kindled by gods,Surya, Moon, Yama in heaven, Trita, Vata, Ushas, Night, and the Ashvins.

10.64.4 By what song does Brihaspati, the inspired one rich in heroes, grow through fine praise?Let easily invoked Aja Ekapad and Ahi Budhnya hear the summons.

10.64.5 At Daksha's birth and Aditi's ordinance I honor the two kings Mitra and Varuna,Aryaman of the untraveled path and many chariots, the sevenfold priest in varied births.

10.64.6 May all those racers, who hear our invocation, swift prize-winning horses, hear us;who themselves have borne mighty treasure in battles, winning thousands and wisdom.

10.64.7 Praise chariot-yoked Vayu and abundant Pushan with songs for friendship;under the god Savitar's impulse the wise join purpose with purpose.

10.64.8 We call for aid the thrice seven sisters, rivers, great waters, trees, mountains, Agni,Krishanu and the stars in their dwelling, and Rudra, fierce among the Rudras.

10.64.9 May Sarasvati, Sarayu and Sindhu come with their waves, great nurturing streams, with aid;divine mother waters who give birth, sing us milk rich in ghee and honey.

10.64.10 Let mother Brihaddiva hear our words, and father Tvashtar with divine mothers;may Ribhukshan, Vaja, lord of the chariot, and Bhaga guard our joyful praise.

10.64.11 Their sight is delightful, their home rich in food; auspicious is the praise of Rudras and Maruts;may we win cattle and fame among men, and always join the gods in Ila.

10.64.12 Maruts, Indra, gods, Varuna, Mitra, you have given me this thought;fill it like a cow with milk; perhaps you will carry our songs on your chariot.

10.64.13 Perhaps, Maruts, you will recognize our kinship as it deserves;where we first gather at the navel, may Aditi grant us kinship.

10.64.14 For mighty mother Heaven and Earth, divine, bore the gods worthy of worship;they both bear both worlds and sprinkle abundant seed with the fathers.

10.64.15 This offering reaches every desirable thing; Brihaspati is the most praiseworthy devotion;where the stone is pressed for honey, the thoughtful sing loudly in prayer.

10.64.16 So Gaya, wise and mighty, knowing Truth, seeking treasure and loving treasure,with songs and thoughts has strengthened the divine births.

10.64.17 So Gaya, Plata's son, the wise one, has strengthened you, All-Adityas and Aditi;immortal lords, your heavenly people have been praised by Gaya.

Hymn 10.65 — Seer: Vasukarna Vasukra. Deity: the All-Gods. Meters: Jagati; verse 15, Trishtubh.

10.65.1 Agni, Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Vayu, Pushan and Sarasvati in accord,Adityas, Vishnu, Maruts, wide heaven, Soma, Rudra, Aditi and Brihaspati.

10.65.2 Indra and Agni, true lords against Vritra, urging each other, sharing one dwelling,filled midair with mighty force while Soma, radiant with ghee, roused their greatness.

10.65.3 To these great, unassailable, Truth-knowing, Truth-strengthening ones I offer hymns;may they, rich in many gifts amid waters and ocean, grant us great friendship.

10.65.4 They propped up the golden spaces, shining sky, heaven and earth in their power;the generous gods, blessing like food, are praised by human seers.

10.65.5 Offer to Mitra and Varuna who give gifts to the worshiper, two sovereigns unfailing in purpose;their great home shines by ordinance, and both worlds rest under their shelter.

10.65.6 The cow that circles the ordained course, milking freely and keeping ordinances,speaks to Varuna and offers with oblation to the gods and Vivasvat.

10.65.7 Heaven-dwelling, Agni-tongued, growing through Truth, they sit exploring Truth's birthplace;with power they propped heaven and fashioned waters, created sacrifice and adorned their bodies.

10.65.8 The two encircling parents, ancient ones, dwell together in Truth's womb;Heaven and Earth, sharing Varuna's ordinance, pour ghee-rich milk for the mighty one.

10.65.9 Parjanya and Vata, raining bulls, Indra and Vayu, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman:we summon gods, Adityas, Aditi, earthly and heavenly and those in the waters.

10.65.10 We seek Tvashtar, Vayu, the Ribhus, the two divine invokers, Ushas for well-being,Brihaspati, devourer of Vritra, wise Soma, for the winning of wealth.

10.65.11 They give birth to prayer, cow, horse, plants, trees, earth, mountains and waters;they set Surya in heaven, generous ones, spreading the Aryas' ordinances on earth.

10.65.12 Ashvins, you freed Bhujyu from distress without a horse; you revived Vadhrimati's son Shyava;you bore Kamadyu to Vimada and released Vishnapu for Vishvaka.

10.65.13 Paviravi, thunderer, Aja Ekapad, heaven's upholder, Sindhu and the ocean waters:let all gods hear my words, Sarasvati with inspiration and plenty.

10.65.14 All-Gods with inspiration and plenty, immortal worshipful gods of Manu, knowing Truth,companions in gift and battle, discoverers of heaven, may you delight in the heaven-seeking sacred hymn.

10.65.15 Vasishtha has praised the immortal gods who stand across all worlds;may they grant us a wide realm today; always protect us with blessings.

Hymn 10.66 — Seer: Vasukarna Vasukra. Deity: the All-Gods. Meters: Jagati; verse 15, Trishtubh.

10.66.1 I call the famed gods for safety, makers of light, wise in sacrifice,who grow ever greater, all-knowing immortals led by Indra, strengthening Truth.

10.66.2 Impelled by Indra and instructed by Varuna, they gained a share of sunlight;we meditate on the Maruts' generous host; seers bring the sacrifice to birth.

10.66.3 Let Indra with Vasus guard our home; Aditi with Adityas give shelter;Rudra with Rudras show us mercy; Tvashtar with divine women further our joy.

10.66.4 Aditi, Heaven and Earth, great Truth, Indra and Vishnu, Maruts, broad heaven:we call Adityas, Vasus, Rudras and skillful Savitar for help.

10.66.5 Sarasvan with songs, Varuna firm in ordinance, Pushan, Vishnu, greatness, Vayu, Ashvins:immortal creators of prayer, all-knowing, grant us threefold shelter from distress.

10.66.6 May sacrifice be mighty, worshipers mighty, gods mighty, offerers mighty;Heaven and Earth mighty and true, Parjanya mighty and praisers mighty.

10.66.7 I invoke mighty Agni and Soma for winning prizes, mighty ones of wide renown;strong in divine sacrifice, may they grant our threefold shelter.

10.66.8 Keepers of ordinances, royal adornments of sacrifice, bright children of great heaven,Agni-invokers, faithful, guileless, they released the waters after defeating Vritra.

10.66.9 Heaven and Earth bore waters, plants and sacred forests beneath ordinances;they filled midair with sunlight for aid; the gods adorned their bodies with power.

10.66.10 Upholders of heaven, skillful Ribhus, Vata and Parjanya, mighty thunderers:let waters and plants further our songs; let Bhaga, gifts, and racers hear my call.

10.66.11 Sea, river, air, midair, Aja Ekapad, thunder and surging flood:let Ahi Budhnya and all gods and seers hear my words.

10.66.12 May we be your worshipers for the gods' delight; guide our rite straight and well;Adityas, Rudras, Vasus, generous ones, delight in these prayers as we recite them.

10.66.13 Following the divine priests first set before us, I tread Truth's path well;we seek the lord of the field, our neighbor, and all tireless immortal gods.

10.66.14 The Vasishthas spoke like their fathers, praising gods like seers for safety;like beloved kin, gods, come fulfill desire and shower wealth on us.

10.66.15 Vasishtha has praised the immortal gods who stand across all worlds;may they grant us a wide realm today; always protect us with blessings.

Hymn 10.67 — Seer: Ayasya Angirasa. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.67.1 Our father found this great seven-headed thought, born of Truth;Ayasya, singing to Indra, brought forth its fourth universal hymn.

10.67.2 Speaking Truth, thinking straight, the sons of heaven, the Asura's heroes,the Angirases established the seer's station and understood sacrifice's primal dwelling.

10.67.3 With companions crying like swans he shattered the stone-built bonds;Brihaspati roared at the cows and sang out loudly, knowing all.

10.67.4 From two places and a third he freed the cows hidden beneath falsehood's barrier;seeking light in darkness Brihaspati uncovered the three ruddy ones.

10.67.5 Shattering their downward prison, he cut the three together from the ocean;Brihaspati found dawn, sun, cow and song, thundering like heaven.

10.67.6 Indra split Vala, keeper of milking cows, with a roar as if by hand;seeking their warm milk, he made the Panis cry and stole their cattle.

10.67.7 With true, shining companions he smashed their cattle-pen to seize its wealth;Brihaspati, with mighty boars in the heat and sweat, secured the treasure.

10.67.8 With truthful minds they sought the cattle's lord and urged the cows on with thought;Brihaspati with his close and blameless allies released the ruddy cows.

10.67.9 Strengthening him with kindly thoughts, like a lion roaring in the assembly,let us rejoice in mighty, victorious Brihaspati in every battle for heroes.

10.67.10 When he won wealth of every kind and mounted heaven's highest home,we, though diverse, strengthened mighty Brihaspati, bearing light upon our lips.

10.67.11 Make our prayer come true, you givers of vigor; you even help the singer with your own powers;let all our enemies fall back: hear this, Heaven and Earth, who encompass all.

10.67.12 Indra in his greatness broke the head of mighty ocean-born Arbuda;he killed the serpent and released seven rivers; with the gods, Heaven and Earth, help us.

Hymn 10.68 — Seer: Ayasya Angirasa. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.68.1 Like winged creatures rising to protect their young, like the sound of a thundering cloud,the songs surged joyously like mountain streams toward Brihaspati.

10.68.2 Reaching the cows, Angirasa led them like Bhaga leading Aryaman;like Mitra among people he joined the household: Brihaspati, drive swift horses to victory.

10.68.3 Welcome guests for the sacrifice, swift, desired, gold-hued, flawless in form:Brihaspati led the cows from the mountains like barley from its husks.

10.68.4 He sprinkled Truth's birthplace with honey and hurled a song like a meteor from heaven;Brihaspati raised cows from stone and split its skin like a spring breaking from earth.

10.68.5 With light he swept darkness from midair like wind stripping moss from water;Brihaspati felt around Vala and whirled the cows like wind driving clouds.

10.68.6 When Brihaspati broke the strength of greedy Vala with fire-hot songs,he seized what lay enclosed, as a tongue takes food between teeth, and laid bare the cows' treasure.

10.68.7 For Brihaspati remembered the name of those singing cows hidden in their dwelling;like a bird's egg cracked to free its young, he drove the cows himself from the mountain.

10.68.8 He saw honey bound within stone, like a fish living in shallow waters;Brihaspati split it with a roar and took it out as a bowl from a tree.

10.68.9 He found Ushas, sunlight and Agni, and with song drove back darkness;Brihaspati brought out Vala's cow-formed treasure like marrow from a joint.

10.68.10 As frost strips forest leaves, so Brihaspati robbed Vala of his cows;he made a thing never done, never to be repeated, as sun and moon rise in turn.

10.68.11 The fathers adorned heaven with stars as with bright ornaments a dark horse;they placed darkness in night and light in day; Brihaspati split the rock and found the cows.

10.68.12 We have offered homage to him of the clouds, who seeks the ancient ones anew;may Brihaspati give us vigor in cows and horses, heroes and men.

Hymn 10.69 — Seer: Sumitra Vadhryashva. Deity: Agni. Meters: Trishtubh; verses 1–2, Jagati.

10.69.1 Beautiful are the sights of Vadhryashva's Agni, lovely his guidance and joyful his approach;when Sumitra's people kindle him first, fed ghee, he blazes in old age.

10.69.2 Ghee makes Vadhryashva's Agni grow; ghee is his food and strength;fed ghee he spreads wide, shining like the sun, offered liquid butter.

10.69.3 The face of you that Manu and Sumitra kindled, Agni, is ever new;shine rich, welcome our songs, win the prize and set fame here.

10.69.4 You whom Vadhryashva kindled in ancient days after worshiping, Agni, welcome this;protect our homes and bodies; guard the gift of ours entrusted to you.

10.69.5 Be glorious and a guardian to Vadhryashva; let no human enemy overpower you;like a daring hero, Sumitra advances: I proclaim Vadhryashva's name.

10.69.6 You conquered the wealth of plains and mountains, Dasa foes and Arya enemies;like a daring hero advancing on men, Agni, confront those who seek battle.

10.69.7 Long-threaded, great-bull Agni, crossing a thousand, guiding a hundred, artful,shining among shining men, burn bright among Sumitra's god-loving people.

10.69.8 In you the cow yields abundant milk, Jatavedas, together with her calf;you are kindled, Agni, by generous Sumitras devoted to the gods.

10.69.9 Even immortal gods proclaimed your greatness, Jatavedas, Agni of Vadhryashva;when the peoples of men came asking, you conquered with men who made you grow.

10.69.10 Like a father holding his son in his lap, Vadhryashva worshiped you, Agni;you welcomed his fuel, youngest one, and helped the old even in adversity.

10.69.11 Agni always overcame Vadhryashva's enemies with men pressing soma;you burned even your equal, brilliant one, and struck down your powerful foe.

10.69.12 This Agni of Vadhryashva, Vritra-slayer, kindled from old, deserves reverent invocation;Agni of Vadhryashva, stand against the hostile, kin and stranger alike.

Hymn 10.70 — Seer: Sumitra Vadhryashva. Deities: Kindled Agni (1), Narashamsa (2), Ila (3), the ritual grass (4), the divine doors (5), Ushas and Night (6), two divine invokers (7), Sarasvati, Ila, and Bharati (8), Tvashtar (9), the Forest Lord (10), and the svaha offerings (11). Meter: Trishtubh.

10.70.1 Welcome my fuel, Agni, delight in its ghee at Ila's place;at earth's summit, in fair daylight, rise high, wise one, for the gods' sacrifice.

10.70.2 Let Narashamsa come here, leading the gods with horses of many forms;by Truth's path, reverently worshiping, let the most divine prepare their way.

10.70.3 From of old offering-bearing mortals call Agni to be their messenger;bring the gods with your best horses and well-built chariot; sit here as priest.

10.70.4 Spread out widely across, beloved of gods, long and fragrant for us;ritual grass, with gracious heart worship the eager gods led by Indra.

10.70.5 Touch heaven's peak or spread to earth's full breadth;desiring doors, hold the divine chariot with your mighty greatness.

10.70.6 Divine daughters of heaven, beautifully crafted Dawn and Night, sit in your place;may the gods eager for you sit, blessed ones, in your spacious lap.

10.70.7 The pressing stone stands high, great Agni is kindled in Aditi's dear abode;two wise priests set before this sacrifice, worship for wealth.

10.70.8 Three goddesses, sit on this broad ritual grass, made pleasant for you;like Manu, may divine Ila with ghee-wet feet welcome the well-set offerings and rite.

10.70.9 Divine Tvashtar, since you reached beauty and became companion of the Angirases,knowing the gods' way, rich giver of treasure, willingly sacrifice.

10.70.10 Forest Lord, bound with your cord, knowing, carry the gods' portion;may the god make the offerings sweet; let Heaven and Earth hear my call.

10.70.11 Bring Varuna, Agni, to our offering, Indra from heaven, Maruts from midair;let all worshipful gods sit on the grass and rejoice in the immortal svaha offerings.

Hymn 10.71 — Seer: Brihaspati Angirasa. Deity: Knowledge. Meters: Trishtubh; verse 9, Jagati.

10.71.1 Brihaspati, when at first they sent forth speech, giving names,whatever was best and pure in it, hidden within them, love disclosed.

10.71.2 When wise men made speech with their minds, sifting it as flour through a sieve,friends recognized their friendships; beauty lay hidden in their speech.

10.71.3 Through sacrifice they followed speech's track and found her dwelling among the seers;they brought her forth and distributed her widely; seven singers sounded her together.

10.71.4 One looks yet does not see speech; one listens yet does not hear her;to another she unfolds her body like a willing wife, beautifully clothed, before her husband.

10.71.5 They call one steadfast in friendship, yet he is not urged even among champions;with barren illusion he wanders, having heard a speech without fruit or flower.

10.71.6 The man who deserts his discerning friend has no share in speech;though he hears, he hears in vain: he does not know the path of good action.

10.71.7 Though friends have eyes and ears, their minds run at unequal speeds;some seem shallow, reaching only the armpit; others like lakes where one can bathe.

10.71.8 When priests, as friends, gather around the mind's swift designs carved in their hearts,some fall behind in knowledge, while others wander as masters of sacred speech.

10.71.9 Those who neither move near nor travel beyond, neither priests nor soma-pressers,lay hands on speech in ignorance and weave a poor thread of words.

10.71.10 All friends rejoice when a glorious companion arrives, triumphant in assembly;he cleanses their guilt, wins them food and stands ready for the contest.

10.71.11 One well trained recites and nurtures verses; another sings the Gayatri among Shakvaris;one priest declares the wisdom of births, another measures out the sacrifice.

Hymn 10.72 — Seer: Brihaspati Laukya, Brihaspati Angirasa, or Aditi Dakshayani. Deity: the Gods. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.72.1 Now let us tell the gods' births through inspired praise,so one in a later age may see as our hymns are sung.

10.72.2 Brihaspati forged these like a smith;in the gods' earliest age, being was born from nonbeing.

10.72.3 In the gods' first age, being was born from nonbeing;then the regions arose, then from Uttanapad.

10.72.4 Earth arose from Uttanapad, the regions from the earth;Daksha was born from Aditi and Aditi from Daksha.

10.72.5 For Aditi was born, Daksha, as your daughter;after her came the gracious gods, kindred to immortality.

10.72.6 When, gods, you stood clasped together in those primeval waters,a fierce dust rose from you as if you danced.

10.72.7 When you gods swelled the worlds like ascetics,you raised the sun, hidden there in the ocean.

10.72.8 Eight sons of Aditi were born from her body;with seven she went to the gods and cast away Martanda.

10.72.9 With seven sons Aditi reached the primal age;for offspring and for death she brought Martanda back again.

Hymn 10.73 — Seer: Gauriviti Shaktya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.73.1 You were born fierce for swift strength, joyful, strongest, abundant in pride;even the Maruts strengthened Indra when his rich mother bore the hero.

10.73.2 Pritni, set among the treacherous, grew your Indra by abundant praise;as if enclosed, the embryos emerged from the darkness at their great step.

10.73.3 Your feet are lofty as you advance; the prizes and those present strengthened you;you, Indra, held a thousand savage foes in the hall, and turned the Ashvins back.

10.73.4 Swiftly you approach the common sacrifice and bring the Ashvins for friendship;you held a thousand riches, Indra; the Ashvins gave heroic gifts.

10.73.5 Glad through Truth, Indra with swift friends sought wealth for his people;with these powers he attacked the Dasyu and cast down the dark, rain-bearing clouds.

10.73.6 You shattered even namesakes; Indra struck Ushas down for us;with desired lofty friends you came and destroyed the stronghold in your heart.

10.73.7 You killed Namuchi, lover of battle, the cunning Dasa, for the seer;you made pleasant, straight paths for Manu, leading to the gods.

10.73.8 You have filled these realms, ruling, Indra, and hold their names in your hand;the gods rejoice in your strength; you made trees rooted above.

10.73.9 When his wheel rested in the waters, that too was covered with honey for him;you set the udder upon the earth, the milk in cows and plants.

10.73.10 “They came from a horse,” they say; yet I think him born of might;from wrath he came and stood in houses: Indra knows his birthplace.

10.73.11 Bright-winged birds settled by Indra, and longing seers beloved for their wisdom;lift darkness, fill our eyes with sight, and release us as from bonds.

Hymn 10.74 — Seer: Gauriviti Shaktya. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.74.1 Do you seek the Vasus' wealth through prayer or sacrifices in both worlds,or horses rich in winnings, or those who have won famed and well-heard praise?

10.74.2 Their mighty lord's call reaches heaven, their glory-seeking mind the earth;where gods watch for happiness, they make heaven their shelter.

10.74.3 This is the song of these immortals who prepare treasure for all;fulfilling thought and sacrifice, may they give us inexhaustible wealth.

10.74.4 Let those devoted to Indra praise him, seeking to cross into wide cow-filled pastures;who once milked the great, many-childed earth with a thousand streams.

10.74.5 Make mighty Indra your helper, unconquered, subduer of battling foes;rich, praised Ribhukshan, bearing the manly mace, abundant in food.

10.74.6 When the ancient conqueror, Vritra-slaying Indra, filled many names abundantly,the mighty lord of victory became known: what we wish him to do, he does.

Hymn 10.75 — Seer: Sindhukshit Praiyamedha. Deity: the Rivers. Meter: Jagati.

10.75.1 Let the poet proclaim your supreme greatness, waters, in Vivasvat's dwelling;they stream forward seven by seven in three courses; Sindhu exceeds all rivers in power.

10.75.2 Varuna opened paths for you to travel, Sindhu, as you raced to the prize;you descend over earth's slopes, ruling at the head of moving streams.

10.75.3 Your sound reaches heaven and spreads above earth; with radiance you raise boundless power;like thundering rains from a cloud, Sindhu comes roaring like a bull.

10.75.4 Like mothers running to a child, Sindhu, the lowing cows flow toward you with milk;like a warrior king you lead your two banks when you advance at the head of the streams.

10.75.5 Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Shutudri and Parushni, join my praise;Asikni, Marudvridha, Vitasta, Arjikiya and Sushoma, hear me.

10.75.6 You first join Trishtama on your way, Susartu and Rasa with white Svetya;Sindhu, with Kubha, Gomati, Krumu, and Mehatnu you travel in one chariot.

10.75.7 Straight-running, dark and shining in splendor, she carries the wide spaces around her;unconquered Sindhu, most active of streams, beautiful as a dappled mare to behold.

10.75.8 Sindhu has fine horses and chariots and garments, golden, well-made, rich in prizes;wool-bearing maiden, fertile and gracious, she wears honey-producing growth.

10.75.9 Sindhu has yoked her easy chariot and horses to win the prize in this contest;her greatness deserves praise, unconquered, self-glorious, mighty.

Hymn 10.76 — Seer: Sarp Airavata Jaratkarna. Deity: the Pressing Stones. Meter: Jagati.

10.76.1 Prepare strength at daybreak; anoint Indra, Maruts, Heaven and Earth;so that both our days share in it, breaking forth to honor him at every seat.

10.76.2 Press that finest soma draught: the stone in the presser's hand races like a horse;the noble one finds conquering courage, even when a great horse is struck for wealth.

10.76.3 His pressing discovers waters, as once it found a path for Manu;in the cow-filled flood, among Tvashtar's horse-clad works, the rites settled into place.

10.76.4 Strike down demons, drive off the breaker, prop us up, repel Nirriti and malice;press wealth rich in heroes for us; pressing stones, bring a song worthy of gods.

10.76.5 Sing to those stronger even than heaven, more skillful even than Vibhvan,readier for soma than Vayu, more nourishing even than Agni.

10.76.6 Let the famed stones press our drink with a voice divine, heaven-born;where men milk the desired honey, crying loudly to one another all around.

10.76.7 Like charioteers the stones press soma; eager for cows, they milk its juice;they milk the udder for pouring; men polish them with their mouths like offerings.

10.76.8 You stones who press soma for Indra have become skillful workers;beauty after beauty for your heavenly home, treasure after treasure for your earthly presser.

Hymn 10.77 — Seer: Syumarashmi Bhargava. Deity: the Maruts. Meters: Trishtubh; verse 5, Jagati.

10.77.1 Like clouds sprinkling blessings with speech, like discerning oblation-filled sacrifices,I praise their Marut host with a worthy prayer, their splendid company.

10.77.2 The young ones dress themselves in ornaments for beauty, across many nights;these sons of heaven grow unwearied, like the Adityas.

10.77.3 They emerge from heaven, greater than earth, outshining clouds like the sun;strong as heroes, praiseworthy, consuming foes, young and reaching heaven.

10.77.4 In the depths of your journey, like the waters, the great sacrifice never shakes apart;come here with nourishment, together, to this rite encompassing all.

10.77.5 You shine at dawn like teams guided by reins, radiant with light;like hawks self-glorious and foe-devouring, like travelers you sprinkle everywhere.

10.77.6 When you drive from afar, Maruts, bearing the great sheltering treasure,you discerning Vasus drive away hatred, even from far beyond.

10.77.7 The mortal who offers to the Maruts at the closing sacrificewins splendid vigor and good sons; let him share the gods' protection of cows.

10.77.8 For they are worshipful at sacrifices, protectors who bestow blessings under the Adityas' name;let them guide our thought like chariots, desiring the great sacrificial journey.

Hymn 10.78 — Seer: Syumarashmi Bhargava. Deity: the Maruts. Meters: Trishtubh; verses 2, 5–7, Jagati.

10.78.1 Like wise men with prayers, discerning, like god-loving worshipers with fine deeds,like splendid kings, beautiful to behold, like spotless youths of the peoples.

10.78.2 Like Agni in brightness, gold-plated on their chests, like self-yoked winds bringing sudden help,like eldest counselors of wise guidance, like somas granting shelter to the seeker of Truth.

10.78.3 Like shaking winds racing forward, like Agni's gleaming tongues,like armored fighters powerful in action, like the fathers' generous praises.

10.78.4 Like spokes of chariots sharing a hub, like conquering heroes aiming at heaven,like young suitors sprinkled with ghee, like well-praised singers answering song.

10.78.5 Like swift foremost horses, like generous charioteers ready for battle,like waters rushing downhill, like Angirases of many forms singing chants.

10.78.6 Like stones, like seers born of rivers, mountain-breakers at all times,like playful children with kindly mothers, like a great army on the march in radiance.

10.78.7 Like dawns' banners, glorious in sacrifice, they brighten with ornaments like seekers of beauty;like racing rivers their lances shine; they measure distances from afar.

10.78.8 Make us your singers fortunate and richly endowed, gods, as we magnify you, Maruts;come to the praise and friendship of our song: from ancient days you own the treasures.

Hymn 10.79 — Seer: Agni Sauchika, Vaishvanara, or Sapti Vajambhara. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.79.1 I saw the great greatness of the immortal among mortal peoples;his two jaws part and come together, tireless and devouring wherever he goes.

10.79.2 His head is hidden, his eyes set apart; with untiring tongue he eats the woods;men gather fuel for him with their feet, with lifted hands and reverence among the people.

10.79.3 Searching beyond his mother for a secret place, the child creeps like a boy through broad plants;he found food ripened and glowing, licking it within his enemy's lap.

10.79.4 I proclaim this immortal to you, Heaven and Earth: as an unborn child he devours his mother;I, a mortal, cannot comprehend the god, but Agni himself is keenly aware.

10.79.5 To one who puts eager food before him, pours melted ghee and nourishes him,I look with a thousand eyes: Agni, you face us from every side.

10.79.6 What offense have you committed against the gods, Agni? I ask without knowing;the golden one played in deadly earnest, eating for food and cutting it joint by joint like a knife cuts a cow.

10.79.7 Forest-born, he yoked horses in every direction, seized with straight-driving reins;well-born Mitra looked with the Vasus, growing by each joint in equal measure.

Hymn 10.80 — Seer: Agni Sauchika, Vaishvanara, or Sapti Vajambhara. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.80.1 Agni gives a prize-bearing racer, Agni a hero famed for his deeds;Agni moves through both worlds, adorning them; Agni gives a resourceful woman bearing heroes.

10.80.2 Blessed be Agni's kindling in his work; Agni entered the mighty worlds;Agni urges one man to battle; Agni destroys many foes.

10.80.3 Agni heard the aging Karna; Agni burned Jarutha out of the waters;Agni protected Atri within the heat; Agni joined Nrimedha with offspring.

10.80.4 Agni gives hero-adorned wealth, Agni gives the seer who wins thousands;Agni stretched the offering across heaven; Agni's dwellings are scattered widely.

10.80.5 Seers summon Agni with hymns; men oppressed on their journey call him;birds flying in midair seek Agni; Agni circles thousands of cattle.

10.80.6 Human peoples praise Agni, people descended from Manu and Nahusha;Agni found the Gandharva path of Truth; Agni's cattle-pasture is set in ghee.

10.80.7 The Ribhus fashioned prayer for Agni; we proclaimed a great fine song for him;Agni, protect the singer, youngest one; worship for mighty riches.

Hymn 10.81 — Seer: Vishvakarman Bhauvana. Deity: Vishvakarman. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 2, Viraj.

10.81.1 Our father, who offered up all these worlds, the seer and invoker, sat down;seeking wealth with blessing, he entered the first and later forms.

10.81.2 What was the foundation, what the starting point, how was it done,when Vishvakarman fashioned earth and spread out heaven in his all-seeing greatness?

10.81.3 Eyes everywhere, faces everywhere, arms everywhere, feet everywhere:with his arms and wings the one god blows life into heaven and earth as he makes them.

10.81.4 What wood, what tree was there from which they shaped heaven and earth?Ask this in your hearts, thinkers: on what did he stand while holding the worlds?

10.81.5 Your highest, lowest and middle abodes, Vishvakarman, and these below:teach your friends at the oblation, self-sustaining one; sacrifice yourself, growing in body.

10.81.6 Vishvakarman, strengthened by oblation, sacrifice yourself for heaven and earth;let those other peoples wander in confusion; let us have a generous patron here.

10.81.7 We call Vishvakarman, lord of speech, swift in mind, today for help in the contest;let him welcome every summons, skillful and bringing blessing to all.

Hymn 10.82 — Seer: Vishvakarman Bhauvana. Deity: Vishvakarman. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.82.1 The father of sight, wise in his mind, brought forth ghee from the two who bowed;when the first boundaries were fixed, then Heaven and Earth spread wide.

10.82.2 Vishvakarman, manifold of mind, creator, disposer, highest and all-seeing;they rejoice in their desired food where they speak of one beyond the seven seers.

10.82.3 He is our father, our begetter, our maker, who knows every abode and world;he alone names the gods: all other beings come questioning him.

10.82.4 The early seers sacrificed together for wealth to him, like singers in plenty;settled in the formed and formless spaces, they fashioned these beings.

10.82.5 Beyond heaven, beyond this earth, beyond gods and Asuras—what is there?What first embryo did the waters bear, where all the gods beheld one another?

10.82.6 That first embryo the waters bore, where all the gods came together;one was set in the unborn's navel, in whom all worlds stand.

10.82.7 You have not known the one who made these things; something else stands within you;wrapped in mist and idle talk, hymn-chanters wander, satisfied with life-breath.

Hymn 10.83 — Seer: Manyu Tapasa. Deity: Manyu. Meters: Jagati (verse 1), Trishtubh (2–7).

10.83.1 Whoever serves you, Manyu, arrow and mace, grows in strength and courage throughout mankind;with you as ally may we defeat Dasa and Arya, forcefully, with force made strong.

10.83.2 Manyu is Indra, Manyu indeed is god; Manyu is the invoker, Varuna and Jatavedas;human peoples honor Manyu: protect us, Manyu, united in ardor.

10.83.3 Come against them, Manyu, mightier than might; joined with ardor destroy our foes;killer of enemies, Vritra and Dasyus, bring us every treasure.

10.83.4 For you, Manyu, are conquering force, self-born flame, vanquisher of rivals;all-seeing, enduring, powerful, place strength in us for battles.

10.83.5 Without a portion I have gone away from your purpose, powerful knowing one;I, lacking purpose, have angered you, Manyu: come into my body to grant me strength.

10.83.6 Here I am yours; come close, face me, sustaining all, conquering one;Manyu, mace-bearer, turn toward me: let us kill the Dasyus, and know me as friend.

10.83.7 Advance to my right, then together let us crush many foes;I offer you the first draught of honey's essence; let us both drink first in secret.

Hymn 10.84 — Seer: Manyu Tapasa. Deity: Manyu. Meters: Trishtubh (1–3), Jagati (4–7).

10.84.1 Riding one chariot with you, Manyu, let the Maruts joyfully charge, daring in might;let men with sharp arrows and weapons whetted advance, fire-shaped.

10.84.2 Blazing like fire, Manyu, prevail; called as our commander, rise, conqueror;strike down our foes, divide their wealth, measure your might, drive the hostile away.

10.84.3 Conquer our rivals, Manyu; go against foes, breaking, crushing and overwhelming;none has checked your fierce advance: sole-born, you master the mastered.

10.84.4 Alone among many, praised Manyu, prepare each people for battle;with you our ally, unfailing in attack, we raise a glorious cry of victory.

10.84.5 Bringer of victory, undefeated like Indra, be our protector here, Manyu;we sing your beloved name, conqueror, and know the spring from which you arose.

10.84.6 Born with might, O mace and arrow, you bear victorious force beyond all others;Manyu, join us in strength and wisdom when great treasure is contested, much-invoked one.

10.84.7 Let Varuna and Manyu grant us both their gathered and their combined treasures;let defeated enemies hide away with fear in their hearts.

Hymn 10.85 — Seer: Surya Savitri. Deities: Soma (1–5), Surya's marriage (6–16), the Gods (17), Soma and Sun (18), Moon (19), marriage blessings (20–28), bridal robe (29–30), healing of the couple (31), Surya Savitri (32–47). Meters: Anushtubh; verses 14, 19–21, 23–24, 26, 36–37, 44, Trishtubh; verses 18, 27, 43, Jagati.

10.85.1 Earth stands supported by truth, heaven by Surya;the Adityas stand by Truth; Soma rests in heaven.

10.85.2 By Soma the Adityas are strong, by Soma earth is great;and Soma has been placed in the lap of these stars.

10.85.3 One thinks one has drunk soma when one crushes the plant;but of the Soma the priests know, no one ever drinks.

10.85.4 Hidden and protected by coverings, guarded, Soma, by mighty ones,you hear the pressing stones, yet no one born of earth drinks you.

10.85.5 Whenever gods drink you, you grow full again;Vayu guards Soma; the month measures out the years.

10.85.6 Raibhya was her bridesmaid, Narashamsi attended her;Surya's lovely garment was adorned with song.

10.85.7 Thought was her pillow and sight her anointing;heaven and earth were her chest when Surya went to her husband.

10.85.8 Songs were her crossbars, meter her headdress;the Ashvins courted Surya and Agni went before her.

10.85.9 Soma became the suitor and both Ashvins her wooers;Savitar gave Surya with his mind to the husband who desired her.

10.85.10 Her mind was her carriage and heaven its canopy;two bright bulls drew it as Surya went to her home.

10.85.11 Your two bulls, called by verse and chant, traveled with song;your wheels were hearing; your path ran through heaven.

10.85.12 Your wheels were pure as you traveled, the axle fastened by air;Surya mounted the carriage fashioned of mind, bound for her husband.

10.85.13 Surya's bridal train departed, dispatched by Savitar;cows are killed under the Aghas; under the Arjunis she is led around.

10.85.14 When you Ashvins came asking for Surya's hand in the three-wheeled carriage,all the gods consented; Pushan the son chose you as fathers.

10.85.15 When you lords of beauty approached Surya as wooers,where was your single wheel, and where did you stand for the gift?

10.85.16 Priests know your two wheels, Surya, in their proper season;the third wheel hidden away only the wise know for certain.

10.85.17 To Surya and the gods, to Mitra and Varuna,to those who know all beings, I have given homage.

10.85.18 By wondrous power these two travel one behind the other, like children playing around the rite;one surveys all the worlds; the other orders seasons and is born again.

10.85.19 Ever new at birth, the moon comes as the days' beacon at dawn's threshold;as he goes he assigns the gods their portions, extending a long life.

10.85.20 Climb into the bright-flowered silk-cotton carriage, many-colored, golden, well-built and well-wheeled;Surya, journey to immortality's world; make a pleasant bridal journey to your husband.

10.85.21 Rise from here: she has a husband now; I honor you, Vishvavasu, with songs and reverence;seek another maiden at her father's house: that is your lot from birth.

10.85.22 Rise from here, Vishvavasu; reverently we praise you;seek another unripe maiden, and join this wife to her husband.

10.85.23 Let the paths our friends take to the marriage be thornless and straight;may Aryaman and Bhaga lead us together; gods, make the marriage bond easy to bear.

10.85.24 I release you from Varuna's snare, with which kindly Savitar bound you;in Truth's womb, in the world of good action, I set you unharmed beside your husband.

10.85.25 From here I release her, not from there; I bind her tightly there;so, bountiful Indra, may she be blessed with fine sons and fortune.

10.85.26 Let Pushan lead you from here by the hand, the Ashvins convey you in their chariot;go to your home as its mistress, and speak with authority in the assembly.

10.85.27 May love flourish here for you with children; keep watch over the household fire in this home;unite your body with this husband, and speak together in council until old age.

10.85.28 Blue and red it becomes, as the spell spreads out;her kin prosper while her husband is bound in bonds.

10.85.29 Give away the stained robe, distribute wealth to the priests;this embodied spell enters the husband in the form of the wife.

10.85.30 His body becomes unsightly, shining with that evil,when the husband seeks to cover himself with the bride's robe.

10.85.31 What wasting sickness comes with the bride's brilliant train following the people,let the worshipful gods lead it back where it came from.

10.85.32 May lurking robbers not find the newly married pair;let them pass dangers on easy paths and let foes flee away.

10.85.33 This bride is full of blessing; gather and look at her;give her good fortune, then return to your homes and depart.

10.85.34 This is sharp and bitter, barbed and poisonous, unfit to eat;only a priest who knows Surya is worthy of the bridal garment.

10.85.35 Cutting, dividing, and severing besides:see Surya's forms; only the priest purifies them.

10.85.36 I take your hand so you may be blessed, and grow old together with me, your husband;Bhaga, Aryaman, Savitar, Purandhi and the gods gave you to me for household life.

10.85.37 Pushan, urge her, most gracious, in whom men sow seed,she who lovingly spreads her thighs for us, in whom we lovingly plant the member.

10.85.38 To you first, Agni, they brought Surya with her bridal train;Agni, you gave her back to human husbands together with offspring.

10.85.39 Agni returned the wife with long life and brilliance;may the husband beside her live a hundred autumns.

10.85.40 Soma first possessed you, then the Gandharva possessed you;Agni was your third husband; the fourth was born of man.

10.85.41 Soma gave her to Gandharva, Gandharva to Agni;Agni gave me her, with wealth and sons.

10.85.42 Stay here together; never part; reach your full span of life,playing with sons and grandsons, rejoicing in your own house.

10.85.43 May Prajapati bring us offspring, and Aryaman unite us until old age;enter your husband's home without ill omen; bless our two-footed and four-footed creatures.

10.85.44 Be gentle-eyed, bringing no harm to your husband; kindly to the cattle, bright-minded and radiant;bearing heroes, loving gods, gracious: bless our two-footed and four-footed creatures.

10.85.45 Bountiful Indra, make this woman fortunate with good sons;plant ten sons in her, and make her husband the eleventh.

10.85.46 Be queen over your father-in-law and queen over your mother-in-law;be queen over your husband's sisters and queen over his brothers.

10.85.47 Let all gods and waters join our hearts together;let Matarishvan, Dhatar and the one who directs join us.

Hymn 10.86 — Seers: Indra; Vrishakapi (7, 13, 23); Indrani (2–6, 9–10, 15–18). Deity: Indra. Meter: Pankti.

10.86.1 The pressers have gone astray and no longer honor god Indra;where Vrishakapi rejoiced in the Arya's rich goods, my friend is higher than all, Indra.

10.86.2 “You run off, Indra, driven wild by Vrishakapi;nowhere else do you find your soma draught: Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.3 “What has this tawny beast Vrishakapi done to youthat you lavish your precious wealth and nourishment on him? Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.4 “This Vrishakapi you hold so dear and protect, Indra—may a dog bite him on the ear, chasing a wild boar! Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.5 “The ape has spoiled my cherished, well-made things;I would strike off his head, and bring the wrongdoer no ease. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.6 “No woman is more desirable or more loving than I;none spreads herself more for her husband or lifts her thighs higher. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.7 “Mother, easy to embrace, perhaps that is how it shall be;my buttocks, mother, my thighs and my head are all quivering. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.8 “Fair-armed and fair-fingered, wide-chested and broad-hipped,hero's wife, why are you angry with our Vrishakapi? Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.9 “This pest thinks me a woman without sons;yet I am mother of heroes, Indra's wife and the Maruts' friend. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.10 “The wife went of old to the common sacred offering;Indra's wife, mother of heroes, keeper of Truth's wisdom, is honored. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.11 “Among women I have heard Indrani called most fortunate;for her husband will never die of old age before her. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.12 “Indrani, I find no joy without my friend Vrishakapi;his beloved offering even goes to the gods. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.13 “Vrishakapi's wife, rich in children and fine daughters-in-law,Indra will eat your bulls; make him a pleasing offering. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.14 “Fifteen, even twenty bulls are cooked together for me;I eat my fill and fill both sides of my belly. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.15 “Like a bull with sharp horns bellowing among herds,so, Indra, may the pressed draught bring joy to your heart. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.16 “She is not master of the man whose member dangles between his thighs;she rules the one whose hairy member swells when he lies with her. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.17 “He is not master whose hairy member swells when he lies with her;he rules her whose member dangles between his thighs. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.18 “This Vrishakapi, Indra, has found the sacrificed beast's wealth:a knife for slaughter, a fresh pot and a loaded wagon of fuel. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.19 “I come looking everywhere, sorting out Dasa and Arya;I drink what the simple presser makes, looking to the wise one. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.20 “How many miles lie between the desert and the thicket?Come nearer, Vrishakapi, come home to the house. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.21 “Come back, Vrishakapi, and we shall set matters right;you who make sleep vanish, travel home by this path again. Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.22 “When you came north to Indra's home, Vrishakapi,where was that wretched animal, where had the people's bane gone? Indra is higher than all.”

10.86.23 “Parshu, daughter of Manu, gave birth to twenty together;happy was the good fortune of the woman whose belly ached! Indra is higher than all.”

Hymn 10.87 — Seer: Payu Bharadvaja. Deity: Agni, Slayer of Demons. Meters: Trishtubh; verses 22–25, Anushtubh.

10.87.1 I pour into the demon-slaying champion, approach the greatest friend for shelter;Agni whets his powers when kindled: protect us from injury by day and night.

10.87.2 Iron-fanged Jatavedas, kindled, touch the sorcerers with flame;seize the witless with your tongue and thrust the flesh-eaters into your mouth.

10.87.3 Set your teeth against both kinds, fierce and sharp, those near and far;range through midair, king, closing your jaws on the sorcerers.

10.87.4 String your arrows with sacrifices, Agni, fletch them with speech and thunderbolts;pierce the sorcerers' hearts, break their outstretched arms.

10.87.5 Tear the sorcerer's skin, Agni, let your blazing bolt strike him;cut his limbs, Jatavedas, let the flesh-eater tear the severed flesh.

10.87.6 Wherever you see him now, Jatavedas, standing, walking,or flying along the paths of midair, shoot him with your sharpened shaft.

10.87.7 Protect the one seized, Jatavedas, from the sorcerer who has grasped him;strike first, Agni, blazing, and let the tawny birds devour that raw-flesh eater.

10.87.8 Declare here, Agni, which sorcerer has done this;seize him with your fuel, youngest one; expose him to the sight of those who watch men.

10.87.9 Guard the sacrifice with a keen eye, Agni, lead it forward to the Vasus, wise one;blaze against the violent demons; let no sorcerer deceive you, watcher of men.

10.87.10 Watch demons among the peoples, watcher of men, and cut off their three heads;burn through their ribs, Agni, and sever the sorcerer's root in three places.

10.87.11 Let the sorcerer who strikes Truth with falsehood fall three times into your snare;flaming, Jatavedas, cast him before the singer's eyes.

10.87.12 Turn that eye, Agni, on the howler, the hoof-breaker, with which you see the sorcerer;with Atharvan's divine light burn the hidden violator of truth.

10.87.13 If two curse one another today, Agni, if shouting voices produce sharp words,with the dart born of wrathful thought pierce the sorcerers' hearts.

10.87.14 Burn the sorcerers utterly with heat; burn the demons away, Agni, with your fire;with flame burn the witless ones away, and scorch the breath-devourers.

10.87.15 Let gods tear apart evil today and send the sharp curses back against it;let arrows of speech strike the thief's heart; let the sorcerer enter every snare.

10.87.16 Whoever anoints himself with human flesh, the sorcerer who feeds on horse or beast,who steals milk from the inviolate cow—Agni, burn and sever their heads.

10.87.17 Let no sorcerer, watcher of men, drink the year's milk from the cow;whoever would enjoy the sweet essence, Agni, strike his heart with a backward flame.

10.87.18 Let the sorcerers drink poison instead of cow's milk; cut the wicked off from Aditi;let Savitar cast them away; let them lose their share of plants.

10.87.19 From ancient times, Agni, you have crushed sorcerers; demons never conquered you in battle;burn the flesh-eating fools away; do not release your divine missile.

10.87.20 Guard us below and above, Agni, from behind and before;let your most scorching, ageless flames burn each speaker of evil.

10.87.21 From behind, before, below and above, surround and guard us with your wisdom, king;immortal Agni, be an ageless friend to us mortals facing age.

10.87.22 Agni, we set you around us as a stronghold, inspired conqueror,bold in appearance each day, destroyer of those who shatter us.

10.87.23 Burn the destructive demons with poison, Agni,with your sharp flame and spears tipped with heat.

10.87.24 Burn both sorcerers and demons facing you, Agni;I sharpen you with thoughts: watch, unfailing inspired one.

10.87.25 Agni, with your own fierce heat, burn back on every side;break the demon sorcerer's strength and courage.

Hymn 10.88 — Seer: Murdhanvan Angirasa or Vamadevya. Deity: Surya-Vaishvanara Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.88.1 The immortal who drinks offerings, finds sunlight, touches heaven, and delights in offerings cast in Agni:for his protection and support of the world the gods spread out through their own power.

10.88.2 The world lay swallowed, hidden by darkness, until sunlight appeared when Agni was born;the gods drew earth, heaven, waters and plants to his friendship.

10.88.3 Urged by the worshipful gods, I praise great immortal Agni,who with his light stretched earth and heaven, these two worlds and midair.

10.88.4 First priest welcomed by the gods, chosen and anointed with melted butter,Agni Jatavedas made what flies, moves and stands shine brightly.

10.88.5 When, Jatavedas, you stood on the world's summit together with light,we called you with thoughts, songs and hymns; worthy of worship, you filled both worlds.

10.88.6 At night Agni is the world's head; from him the sun is born rising at dawn;such is the worshipful gods' wonder: moving quickly, he enters the waters.

10.88.7 Visible and kindled in greatness, heaven-born, radiant, he shone;into that Agni all the gods cast their offerings with a fine hymn, protecting their bodies.

10.88.8 First they brought forth the sacred word, then the gods brought forth Agni and the offering;he became their sacrifice and guarded their bodies: Heaven, Earth and Waters know him.

10.88.9 The Agni whom gods brought forth, into whom they offered all worlds,burned earth and heaven with his flame, striving straight in greatness.

10.88.10 Through song the gods brought Agni forth in heaven, filling both worlds with powers;they made him threefold to sustain the world; he ripens plants in every form.

10.88.11 When the worshipful gods set this one in heaven as the sun, son of Aditi,when the moving pair came into being, then they saw all the worlds.

10.88.12 For all the world the gods made Vaishvanara Agni the days' bright beacon;he spread radiant dawns and unwrapped waters, dispelling darkness with flame.

10.88.13 The worshipful gods, the seers, brought forth undying Vaishvanara Agni;he measured the ancient wandering star, strong and great overseer of the mystery.

10.88.14 We speak with songs to Vaishvanara, ever shining, inspired Agni,who in greatness encompasses the wide world, the god below and above.

10.88.15 I have heard of two paths, one of the fathers and one of gods and mortals;all that moves comes together along these two between the father and mother.

10.88.16 The two joined bear the moving one, born from their heads, fashioned in mind;shining, tireless, he stood facing all the worlds as the kindling stick.

10.88.17 Where the lower and higher speak together, which of us knows which belongs to the sacrifice?Friends reached the common feast and attained sacrifice: who shall explain it?

10.88.18 How many fires, how many suns, how many dawns, how many waters?I do not ask this to mock you, fathers; seers, I ask to know.

10.88.19 As far as Ushas' form spreads, as far as winged Matarishvan dwells,so far he establishes sacrifice; the priest sits below the invoker.

Hymn 10.89 — Seer: Renu Vaishvamitra. Deity: Indra; verse 7, Indra and Soma. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.89.1 I praise Indra, most heroic, whose greatness drove back the shining realms and earth's ends;he filled the spaces with shelter for men, surpassing the rivers in greatness.

10.89.2 He rolled the sun across broad spaces like a wheel following a chariot;by his brilliance Indra struck black darkness, standing still like a pent-up torrent.

10.89.3 Sing him the same undiminished song, a new unequaled hymn from earth to heaven;Indra knows their births as if their backs; he seeks no other ally.

10.89.4 For Indra the songs sent forth waters from the ocean's depths in an unstoppable rush;with his powers he propped apart heaven and earth on every side, as on an axle.

10.89.5 His wrath drinks waters, his thunder strikes, his power shakes, his shaft cuts clean;Soma has touched every forest, yet no rival approaches Indra.

10.89.6 Neither heaven and earth, desert, midair nor mountains can restrain him, nor Soma,when rising anger shatters the solid and breaks the firm.

10.89.7 He killed Vritra like an axe cutting wood; he smashed cities and opened rivers;he split the mountain like a new jar and led out the cattle with his allies.

10.89.8 You, wise Indra, tear through wrongs like a blade through a joint,when people violate Mitra's and Varuna's law and betray an ally and friend.

10.89.9 Against the wicked who violate Mitra, Aryaman, song and Varuna,Indra, mighty bull, whet your fierce red weapon amid the foes.

10.89.10 Indra rules heaven, Indra earth, Indra waters, Indra mountains;Indra rules elders and wise men; Indra is called for peace and struggle.

10.89.11 Indra surpasses bygone days and days to come, midair and ocean's depths;he exceeds the wind's breadth, earth's limits, rivers and peoples.

10.89.12 Like dawn's shining banner, Indra, let your tireless weapon turn;strike the treacherous as with a stone, loosed from heaven in fiercest fury.

10.89.13 Days and months followed newborn Indra, as did forests, plants and mountains;Heaven and Earth called after him, and waters rushed to him.

10.89.14 When will your perception come, Indra, when you shatter the approaching evil demon,when betrayers like cattle lie across the earth in disgrace?

10.89.15 Those bands who spread against us as enemies, working great damage, Indra,let them join blind darkness, while bright nights confront them.

10.89.16 Many offerings and prayers of singing seers delight you;hear this summons for help, and cross past all singers to come here.

10.89.17 So, Indra, may we know your new and generous favors, enjoying them;may we Vaishvamitras learn them at dawn as we praise with your aid.

10.89.18 Let us call mighty Indra for good fortune in this contest for prizes, the foremost hero;let the fierce one hear us and help in battles, slayer of foes, winner of wealth.

Hymn 10.90 — Seer: Narayana. Deity: Purusha. Meters: Anushtubh; verse 16, Trishtubh.

10.90.1 Purusha has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet;he embraced earth on every side and reached ten fingers beyond it.

10.90.2 Purusha is all this, what has been and what shall be;he rules immortality and what grows greater by food.

10.90.3 Such is his greatness, yet Purusha is greater still;all beings are a quarter of him; three quarters are immortal in heaven.

10.90.4 Three quarters of Purusha rose upward, while one quarter came again into this world;from there he spread everywhere, over what eats and what does not eat.

10.90.5 From him Viraj was born, and from Viraj Purusha;when born he stretched beyond the earth, behind and before.

10.90.6 When the gods performed sacrifice with Purusha as the oblation,spring was its ghee, summer its fuel, autumn its offering.

10.90.7 They sprinkled Purusha, born at the beginning, as a sacrifice on the ritual grass;with him the gods sacrificed, and the Sadhyas and the seers.

10.90.8 From that sacrifice in which all was offered they gathered curd mixed with ghee;from it he fashioned creatures of the air, wild beasts and domestic animals.

10.90.9 From that sacrifice in which all was offered came verses and chants;from it came meters, from it the sacrificial formulas arose.

10.90.10 From it horses were born, and all creatures with teeth in both jaws;from it cows arose; from it were born goats and sheep.

10.90.11 When they divided Purusha, into how many parts did they separate him?What was his mouth, what were his arms, what his thighs, what his feet?

10.90.12 The Brahmin was his mouth; his arms became the Rajanya;his thighs were the Vaishya; from his feet the Shudra was born.

10.90.13 The moon was born from his mind, the sun from his eye;Indra and Agni from his mouth, Vayu from his breath.

10.90.14 Midair arose from his navel, heaven formed from his head;earth from his feet, directions from his ear: so they made the worlds.

10.90.15 Seven were its enclosing sticks, and three times seven logs of fuel were laid,when the gods prepared their sacrifice and bound Purusha as the victim.

10.90.16 With sacrifice the gods sacrificed to sacrifice; these were the first sacred laws;those great ones attained heaven, where the ancient Sadhyas dwell as gods.

Hymn 10.91 — Seer: Aruna Vaitahavya. Deity: Agni. Meters: Jagati; verse 15, Trishtubh.

10.91.1 Awake among the waking, Agni is kindled and grows old in every home, bringing food to Ila's place;chosen invoker of every offering, all-pervading and radiant, he befriends us as a true friend.

10.91.2 Splendid to see, a guest in every house, he dwells in every forest like a swift hero;like a kinsman he overlooks no one, living with each people among its settlements.

10.91.3 Skillful among the skillful, you are wise in purpose, Agni, a seer in poetry, knowing all;you alone rule the treasures heaven and earth bring to growth.

10.91.4 Knowing your proper birthplace, Agni, you sat in Ila's ghee-rich place;your spotless journeys shone like dawns, like the sun's rays.

10.91.5 Your beauties shine like lightning from a rain cloud, bright as dawns' banners;released upon plants and woods, you gather food on every side into your mouth.

10.91.6 The plants bore him in season as their child; mother waters brought forth Agni;trees and growing plants, pregnant with him, bear him always in equal measure.

10.91.7 Wind-shaken and impelled, you spread quickly among plants seeking food;your ageless armies rush like separate chariot teams, consuming, Agni.

10.91.8 Maker of wisdom, achiever of the gathering, Agni the invoker, thought that embraces all:him people choose alike for small and great offering, no other than you.

10.91.9 God-loving makers choose you as their invoker in assemblies, Agni,when descendants of Manu spread ritual grass and bring offerings, devoted to the gods.

10.91.10 The invoker's work is yours, Agni, the purifier's yours in its season, the guide's yours; you are fire-kindler;the directing priest's is yours; you conduct sacrifice, our priest and householder at home.

10.91.11 When a mortal brings fuel or offering to immortal you, Agni,you become his priest and messenger, speak for him, worship and conduct his rite.

10.91.12 These thoughts, words, verses, songs and excellent praises have gathered for him from us;longing for wealth they come to rich Jatavedas, growing even among what is old.

10.91.13 I would speak a new, beautiful praise for the ancient one; let him hear us, eager;come nearer to touch my heart, like a willing wife, beautifully clothed, before her husband.

10.91.14 For him horses, bulls, oxen, cows and sheep are released and offered;for the wise Agni whose back bears soma, my heart fashions a beautiful thought.

10.91.15 I offer into your mouth, Agni, as ghee in a ladle, soma in a bowl;grant us heroic wealth, prize-winning, renowned and vast.

Hymn 10.92 — Seer: Sharyata Manava. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Jagati.

10.92.1 I praise your charioteer of sacrifice, lord of peoples, the radiant night-guest and priest of the tribes;blazing among dry yellow woods, the bull, beacon of worship, has reached heaven.

10.92.2 Both have made Agni straight-running, upholder of law, perfecter of the gathering;like night their ancient priest, son of himself, reaches Ushas' dawn.

10.92.3 We think on Vala's paths and the Pani's schemes; his branches were called forth for food;when fierce ones attained immortality they praised the divine people.

10.92.4 Truth's track is heaven's broad expanse; reverence is devotion worthy of praise;Indra, Mitra and Varuna understand together, and Bhaga and Savitar, pure in skill.

10.92.5 Rivers go forward with swift Rudra, crossing mighty devotion;with them the wide-roaming one traverses broad regions, roaring, filling the world within him.

10.92.6 The powerful Maruts are Rudras of all the peoples, heaven's hawks, from the Asura's nest;Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman look on with them, and Indra with swift gods, swift himself.

10.92.7 Singers sought protection in Indra, sunlight in Surya and strength in the mighty one;for him the poets rightly fashioned the companion mace in the dwellings of men.

10.92.8 Even the bright sun delights his bay horses; all fear mighty Indra;the fearsome bull's belly roars, unimpeded day by day in his force.

10.92.9 Offer your hymn today to radiant Rudra, father of heroes, with reverence;with his gracious, powerful companions he touches heaven, glorious in his desires.

10.92.10 They carried fame abroad for offspring—Brihaspati the bull, Soma's kin;Atharvan first sustained them with rites; the gods and Bhrigus understood through skill.

10.92.11 Heaven and Earth rich in seed, four-limbed Narashamsa, Yama and Aditi,god Tvashtar, wealth-giver Ribhukshan, the Maruts and Vishnu, honored both worlds.

10.92.12 May the wide-ranging inspired Ahi Budhnya hear our call;Surya and Moon, roaming heaven, attend to this mortal prayer and labor.

10.92.13 Let Pushan guide our journey to all the gods; let the waters' child and Vayu aid our sacrifice;praise the nourishing wind itself: easily invoked Ashvins, hear this on the road.

10.92.14 We praise with songs the self-glorious ruler of these fearless peoples,with all divine women and invincible Aditi, night's young and manly lord.

10.92.15 Angiras, first by birth, roared here; the upright stones watched the rite;through them the discerning one became manifold; the axe wins a fine path.

Hymn 10.93 — Seer: Tanva Parthya. Deity: the All-Gods. Meters: Prastara Pankti; verses 2–3, 13, Anushtubh; verse 9, Pankti; verse 11, Nyanku-Sarini; verse 15, Purastad Brihati.

10.93.1 Mighty Heaven and Earth, spacious ones, like great women, may both worlds dwell with us;by these means protect us from violence, protect us from scorching force.

10.93.2 At every sacrifice that mortal worships the godswho honors them with kindness and far-reaching praise.

10.93.3 You rule over all the mighty gods;for all are mighty over all, all worthy of worship at sacrifices.

10.93.4 Those joyous sovereigns of immortality, Aryaman, Mitra, Varuna who travels everywhere;Rudra praised among men, Maruts, Pushan and Bhaga—when will they come?

10.93.5 At night, too, let Surya and Moon, strong in waters and riches, dwell with us;Ahi Budhnya rests at the depth of their common abode.

10.93.6 And divine Ashvins, lords of beauty, let Mitra and Varuna protect us through their dwellings;let him seek mighty wealth, crossing troubles as a desert.

10.93.7 May the Rudras and Ashvins show mercy, all the gods, Bhaga lord of the chariot;Ribhu, Vaja, Ribhukshan, the far-ranging all-knowing ones.

10.93.8 Ribhu and Ribhukshan, Ribhu gladdens the worshiper; your bay steeds draw your swift prize-bearing horses;unmatchable is his chant and distinct his sacrifice from mortal sacrifice.

10.93.9 Grant us, Savitar, freedom from error, god, whom generous men praise;let Indra carry our strength with his bearers, who turned the wheel and rein of these peoples.

10.93.10 Heaven and Earth, bestow great fame upon us, your heroes, among all the peoples;food to win the prize, food for riches and for victory.

10.93.11 Indra, take this praise, wherever you may be, powerful one, for our aid;protect us always for our aid, rich one who knows and thrives.

10.93.12 This hymn of mine grows among men like sunlight, shining across the heavens;like a horse fit to win affection, firmly shaped by a craftsman.

10.93.13 Their wealth revolves, yoked with golden gifts;their strength is not divided, nor are their broad boundaries wasted.

10.93.14 I proclaim this to Duhshima, Prithavana, Vena, Rama and the generous Asura,who yoked five hundred along the path and made their fame known.

10.93.15 And here seventy and seven more;Tanva gave at once, Parthya gave at once, Mayava gave at once.

Hymn 10.94 — Seer: Arbuda Kadraveya, the serpent. Deity: the Pressing Stones. Meters: Jagati; verses 5, 7, 14, Trishtubh.

10.94.1 Let these speak, and let us speak; address the speaking stones;when the swift rocky stones together bring clamor and song for Indra rich in soma.

10.94.2 They speak as if a hundred, a thousand voices, shouting with tawny mouths;seated, the finely working stones reached the offering before even the invoker.

10.94.3 They speak, having found honey for their mouths, stooping over ripened food;they roar like massive bulls, devouring the red tree's branch.

10.94.4 They speak loudly to delight the gladdened Indra, calling out as their mouths find honey;the steadfast ones dance with their sisters, making earth resound with their cries.

10.94.5 The dark-winged ones spoke in heaven's realm and danced swiftly;they descend to the upper vessel and store abundant seed with Surya's light.

10.94.6 They rushed together like mighty chargers, bulls yoked to a single pole;panting, they roared as they ate; I hear their snorting like horses.

10.94.7 Sing to ten hands, ten belts, ten bridles, ten harnesses,ten reins, ten ageless poles, and the ten yoked that bear them.

10.94.8 These swift stones with ten supports circle their beloved resting place;they have received the first sweetness of the soma stalk's pressed drink.

10.94.9 Drinking soma, they bind Indra's bay horses, milking the stalk upon the hide;Indra drinks the soma honey they milk and grows, spreads and gains bull strength.

10.94.10 Your stalk is strong, and you are never wounded; always fed with plenty, you endure;like the wealthy Revatis, splendid you stand, stones, delighting in the rite.

10.94.11 The stones bite but are not bitten, tireless, unbroken, deathless;not sick or aging, you stand free of harm, well nourished, thirsty neither now nor later.

10.94.12 Firm are your fathers from age to age; seeking security, they harness themselves to the seat;never worn out, gold-winning, golden-streaming, their sound makes heaven and earth hear.

10.94.13 So speak the stones when released, on their journey, straight with their calls;like sowers scattering seed, they mingle soma and do not injure what they consume.

10.94.14 At the pressing rite they raised their voice like playful children nudging their mother;release the pressers' thought, let the waiting stones roll apart.

Hymn 10.95 — Seers: Pururavas Aila and Urvashi (verses 2, 4–5, 7, 11, 13, 15–16, 18). Deities: Urvashi and Pururavas (verses 2, 4–5, 7, 11, 13, 15–16, 18). Meter: Trishtubh.

10.95.1 “My wife, stay your fierce mind; let us exchange these words;our unspoken thoughts brought us no happiness, even in days gone by.”

10.95.2 “What can I do with your words? I have gone like the first of dawns;Pururavas, go home again; I am as hard to catch as wind.”

10.95.3 “Like an arrow shot from a quiver for glory, like a charge that wins a hundred cows,our courage flashed though it lacked a hero; the roaring ones cried like sheep.”

10.95.4 “She brought wealth to her father-in-law if dawn desired it, and food from the house nearby;I came home where I found delight, pierced by his reed day and night.”

10.95.5 “Three times a day you pierced me with the reed and filled me when I resisted;Pururavas, I followed your command; you were the king and hero of my body.”

10.95.6 “Sujurni, Shreni, Sumnapi, Hradechakshu, Granthini, Charanyu—those brightly colored ones fled; beautiful as cattle, the cows lowed no longer.”

10.95.7 “At his birth divine women gathered, and self-praising rivers nurtured him;for great delight, Pururavas, the gods raised you to kill the Dasyus.”

10.95.8 “When, a mortal, I joined those immortal women who cast off their garments,they fled from me like startled birds, trembling like horses touched by a chariot.”

10.95.9 “When a mortal touches the immortal ones and meets them with his mortal plans,they adorn their bodies like swans and playfully bite like horses.”

10.95.10 “She flashed like falling lightning, carrying my desired gifts;a noble son was born from the waters; may Urvashi grant him a long life.”

10.95.11 “You were born to guard cattle; you placed that strength in me, Pururavas;I warned you, knowing, on that day, but you did not listen: why speak to me now?”

10.95.12 “When will the newborn son desire his father and cry as he sheds knowing tears?Who can divide a couple of one mind when Agni burns among the in-laws?”

10.95.13 “I answer: he will shed tears and cry for his own good;I will send you what is yours with me; go home, fool, you cannot reach me.”

10.95.14 “Today let your beloved fall, never to rise, into the farthest distance;let him lie in Nirriti's lap, where fierce wolves will devour him.”

10.95.15 “Pururavas, do not die; do not fall; let no cruel wolves devour you;friendship with women does not endure: their hearts are like jackals'.”

10.95.16 “When I wandered in other forms among mortals I stayed four autumns of nights;once daily I ate a drop of ghee; content with that alone I wandered.”

10.95.17 “I yearn for Urvashi, who fills midair and measures the vastness, I, Vasishtha;may your reward for good deeds attend you; turn back, my heart burns.”

10.95.18 “Thus the gods have told you, son of Ila: you are kin to death;your offspring will worship the gods with oblation, and you will rejoice in heaven.”

Hymn 10.96 — Seer: Varu Angirasa or Sarvahari Aindra. Deity: Hari. Meters: Jagati; verses 12–13, Trishtubh.

10.96.1 I proclaim your bay horses in the great assembly; I praise your desired joy that conquers foes;he pours beauty with the bay horses like ghee; let songs enter your golden body.

10.96.2 Those who sing around the golden birthplace urge the bays toward their heavenly seat;as cows fill a vessel, they fill him with bay ones: sing to Indra of bay-horsed force.

10.96.3 His iron mace is golden; his desire is golden and gold is in his hands;bright and strong-jawed, arrow of golden wrath, Indra was adorned with tawny forms.

10.96.4 The desirable one was set in heaven like a beacon; his tawny mace spread like speed;he of golden jaws struck the serpent with iron; bearer of gold grew a thousand flames.

10.96.5 You longed for praise from the ancient worshipers, Indra of golden hair;you desire it; all song belongs to you, golden-born one, with boundless welcome gifts.

10.96.6 His eager bay horses draw the mace-bearing, gladdening Indra worthy of song in a chariot;many offerings are made to him; tawny somas are set for Indra's delight.

10.96.7 The bays ran eager for his desire; swift bays drove steady bay horses;he who gladly travels with tawny steeds gains the desire of their golden master.

10.96.8 Gold-bearded, golden-haired, iron-strong, the tawny drinker grew in swift drinking;with tawny steeds, rich in prizes, he crossed all dangers, golden one.

10.96.9 His golden jaws flew apart like ladles in search of a prize;the bay horses were polished in the crafted bowl after he drank the desired intoxicating draught.

10.96.10 In his desired dwelling the bay-horsed one cried like a racer for a prize;for great thought delights in his strength; he bears vast vigor from the desired drink.

10.96.11 In greatness you desire both worlds, and each new beloved song;lord, lay open the desired cow's dwelling for the golden sun.

10.96.12 Let men's yoked bay horses bring you eager in their chariot, gold-jawed Indra;drink the honey presented, loving our sacrifice and the shared feast of ten fingers.

10.96.13 You drank the former pressings, lord of bay horses; this pressing too is yours alone;delight in honeyed soma, Indra, and pour bull strength into your belly.

Hymn 10.97 — Seer: Bhishaj Atharvana. Deity: the Plants. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.97.1 The plants born first, three ages before the gods:I know a hundred and seven dwelling places of these brown ones.

10.97.2 A hundred are your dwelling places, mothers, a thousand your shoots;you of a hundred powers, now make this man free from sickness.

10.97.3 Rejoice, flowering and fruit-bearing plants;like horses victorious together, growing things carry us across.

10.97.4 Plants are mothers: as goddesses I address you thus;may I win a horse, a cow, a garment, even your very self, O man.

10.97.5 Your seat is in the ashvattha tree, your dwelling made among its leaves;you are sharers of cattle, for you heal the man.

10.97.6 Where plants gather like kings in assembly,the wise healer is named demon-slayer and driver-away of sickness.

10.97.7 I have found every plant, rich in horses and soma, bringing nourishment and force,for this man's deliverance from harm.

10.97.8 The plants' high spirits rise like cows from their pen;they seek to win the treasure of your own self, O man.

10.97.9 Healing is your mother's name, and you yourselves are healers;you are winged streams; cure whatever sickness afflicts him.

10.97.10 Passing over every barrier, like a thief through a cattle pen,the plants drive away whatever harm afflicts the body.

10.97.11 When I take these plants in my hand, urging them to battle,the sickness's very soul perishes before it can seize his life.

10.97.12 As you plants creep along each limb and every joint,so drive sickness away from there, as a strong arbiter cuts it out.

10.97.13 Fly away, sickness, with the chasha and kikidivi birds;vanish with the wind's rush and with the fleeing storm.

10.97.14 Let one of you help another, and another help her in return;all together, in harmony, uphold this word of mine.

10.97.15 The fruit-bearing and fruitless, flowerless and flowering plants,impelled by Brihaspati, let them free us from distress.

10.97.16 Let them free me from the curse and Varuna's offense,from Yama's fetter and every sin against the gods.

10.97.17 The herbs descending from heaven spoke aloud:“The living man whom we reach shall suffer no harm.”

10.97.18 Herbs whose king is Soma, abundant, with a hundred perceptions:of these you are the best, for the heart's desired healing.

10.97.19 Herbs whose king is Soma, spread over the earth,set loose by Brihaspati, grant this woman strength together.

10.97.20 May your digger come to no harm, nor the one for whom I dig you;may everything ours, two-footed and four-footed, be free of sickness.

10.97.21 Those plants that hear this now and those gone far away:come together, all of you, and grant this woman strength.

10.97.22 The herbs speak together with Soma their king:“Whoever the priest treats, O king, we carry across.”

10.97.23 You are supreme among herbs; the trees are your attendants.Let the one who attacks us be laid low beneath us.

Hymn 10.98 — Seer: Devapi Arshtishena. Deity: the gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.98.1 Brihaspati, come as my divine power—whether you are Mitra, Varuna, or Pushan,or with Adityas and Vasus, attended by Maruts; bring Parjanya to Shantanu to pour rain.

10.98.2 A swift, discerning divine messenger came toward me from you, Devapi.Turn back toward me; I place a radiant word in your mouth.

10.98.3 Place in our mouths a radiant word, Brihaspati, vigorous and free of disease,with which I may win rain for Shantanu: heaven's honeyed drop has entered.

10.98.4 Let honeyed drops enter us; Indra, give a thousand chariot-loads.Take the priest's seat, sacrifice in season; Devapi, worship the gods with oblation.

10.98.5 Devapi, the seer son of Arshtishena, took the priest's seat, knowing the gods' goodwill.From the upper sea he released the lower sea, the heavenly waters in rain.

10.98.6 In that upper sea the waters stood enclosed by the gods.Released by Arshtishena, sent forth by Devapi, they ran into the dry places.

10.98.7 When Devapi, chosen as Shantanu's priest to officiate, reflected with compassion,Brihaspati gave him a god-heard word, a gift that wins the rain.

10.98.8 Agni, whom Devapi, Arshtishena's human son, kindled in his fervor,with all the gods' consent, send forth Parjanya laden with rain.

10.98.9 The ancient seers sought you with songs, and all seek you at sacrifices, much-invoked one.Come to our sacrifice, red-horsed one, bringing thousands of chariot-loads.

10.98.10 These ninety-nine thousand chariot-loads are offered to you, Agni.Grow with them, hero, in your many forms; urged on, let rain fall for us from heaven.

10.98.11 These ninety thousand, Agni, hand over as a share to mighty Indra.Knowing the seasonal paths of gods, set Aulana among the gods in heaven.

10.98.12 Agni, drive off enemies and hardships, banish disease and repel demons.From the great sea of heaven release to us a vast abundance of waters.

Hymn 10.99 — Seer: Vamra Vaikhanasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.99.1 What shining one, wide-ranging and bellowing, do you wisely urge to grow for us?Who at the dawning of his might fashioned the Vritra-conquering mace and filled it full?

10.99.2 He travels in splendor with lightning; through divine power he has taken his broad seat.With his companions he overwhelms the wiles of his brother, the seventh.

10.99.3 He goes for the prize, crossing trackless tracks, seeking sunlight and winning it.Unhindered, when he bestowed a hundred-gated treasure, he struck the phallus-worshipers with his form.

10.99.4 He hurls the great waters among cattle and horses, a swift one in battles for the prize,where footless allies, chariotless and horse-like, rush forth along channels, their water flowing with ghee.

10.99.5 With the Rudras and the Ribhus he came, beyond reproach, leaving his home behind.I think he tore apart Vamra's pair and, seizing their food, made them cry aloud.

10.99.6 He subdued the Dasa Tuvirava, six-eyed and three-headed, their lord.Trita, growing in his strength, struck the iron-tipped boar with a reed.

10.99.7 For the deceitful man who rises high he shot his arrow at one in plain sight.Best among men, born among the Nahushas, he smashed forts in the killing of Dasyus.

10.99.8 Thirsting for pasture like a cloud, he found us a path to dwelling.When he approached the drop with his body, the eagle with iron claws struck the Dasyus.

10.99.9 With his powerful helpers he handed Shushna over to Kutsa in distress.He led forth the praised poet, Atka, who was his benefactor and men's.

10.99.10 Giving gifts with the Aryas, wondrous with the gods, he was cunning like Varuna.This youth, guardian of the seasons, measured the unknown Araru, the four-footed one.

10.99.11 With his hymns Rijishvan, son of Ushij, broke open Pipru's pen with the bull.When the sacrificer pressed soma, his song shone; going before him, he came forth in glory.

10.99.12 So, to swell the great lord, little Vamra crept to Indra on his feet.May he, coming here, bring us well-being, food, vigor, safe dwelling, and all splendor.

Hymn 10.100 — Seer: Duvasyu Vandana. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

10.100.1 Stand firm, generous Indra; let your arm speak here; praised, soma-drinker, wake to strengthen us.May Savitar advance us with the gods; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.2 Bring the fitting share well for the offering; call out to Vayu, drinker of the pure, for sustenance.He has attained a drink of the cow's milk; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.3 May divine Savitar bring us strength, the upright worshiper who presses soma,so that we may honor the gods with ripe offerings; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.4 May Indra be gracious to us always; may King Soma take charge of our welfare.As they established their bonds of friendship, we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.5 Indra has armed himself with the hymn and might; Brihaspati, carry him through his life.The sacrifice is our father Manu and our wise guidance; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.6 Now Indra's divine might has done good; Agni in the house is a wise and discerning singer.The sacrifice too has become lovely and intimate in the gathering; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.7 We have not secretly done much wrong against you, Vasus, nor, without seeking aid, insulted the gods.Gods, let none of us take on the shape of falsehood; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.8 May Savitar drive sickness far away; let the pressing stones repel it farther still,where the stone is loudly called on for honey; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.9 Let the stone rise in the presser's hands, Vasus; drive every hatred far away.May the praiseworthy god Savitar guard us; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.10 Cows, eat rich food among the pasture, you who are anointed in Truth's dwelling, its vessel.Let body itself be medicine for the body; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.11 Wisdom protects the singer forever; Indra is the kind counsel of those who press soma.His heavenly udder is full for pouring; we choose Aditi for the whole assembly.

10.100.12 Bright is your radiance, your wisdom-guarding help; there are unassailable rivals who guard against decay.By the straightest course toward livestock and cattle, Duvasyu hastens to the foremost place.

Hymn 10.101 — Seer: Budha Saumya. Deity: the All-Gods or the officiating priests. Meter: Trishtubh, Gayatri, Brihati, and Jagati.

10.101.1 Awaken, friends, of one mind; many who share one home, kindle the fire together.I call on you for help, with Indra, and on Dadhikra, Agni, and the goddess Ushas.

10.101.2 Make your thoughts joyful; stretch them forth; make a boat fitted with oars to carry you across.Fashion your tools, make ready your weapons; guide the sacrifice forward, friends.

10.101.3 Yoke the plows, spread out the yokes; sow seed here in the prepared furrow.May praise and hearing bring us abundance; may the sickle approach the ripe grain soon.

10.101.4 The poets yoke the plows and spread the yokes apart,wise men seeking goodwill among the gods.

10.101.5 Make the troughs; fasten the straps together.Let us draw from the well, flowing freely and never failing.

10.101.6 From the prepared trough and the well, with its strong strap and easy pouring,I draw an unfailing stream.

10.101.7 Feed the horses; win what is good; make a chariot that carries you safely.With its wooden trough and stone wheel and shoulder-borne vessel, draw the water that sustains men.

10.101.8 Build an enclosure, for it guards your people; sew wide and ample armor.Build unassailable iron forts; let your cup not leak—make it firm.

10.101.9 I turn your sacrificial thought toward help: let the gods worship the goddess here, worthy of worship.May she yield us milk like a cow returning from pasture, the great cow with a thousand streams.

10.101.10 Pour the yellow flow into the wooden lap; shape it with axes of stone.Embrace it with ten bands; yoke the bearer to both shafts.

10.101.11 The bearer, harnessed to both shafts, moves between them like one twice-born in the womb.Set the tree in the forest; establish it well, digging the spring.

10.101.12 Lift the vessel, men; raise the vessel; urge on and dig for the prize.Make Nishthigri's son come here, pressed by need, Indra to drink soma.

Hymn 10.102 — Seer: Mudgala Bharmyashva. Deity: the club, or Indra. Meter: Trishtubh and Brihati.

10.102.1 May Indra boldly protect your yoked chariot;much-invoked one, help us in this renowned contest for the prizes of wealth.

10.102.2 The wind lifted her garment when she won a thousand chariot-loads.Mudgalani became a charioteer in the cattle contest; Indrasena distinguished herself in the battle.

10.102.3 Hold back the mace, Indra, from the one who wishes to kill and attacks us;turn the blow far away, generous one, whether from Dasa or Arya.

10.102.4 Joyfully he drank the lake dry; he shattered the peak and advanced against his rival.Bearing his burden beneath, eager for glory, he raised his swift arms, longing to win.

10.102.5 Approaching him, they made the bull bellow and urinate in the midst of the contest.With him Mudgala won a thousand cattle, each with a hundred calves, in the battle for the prize.

10.102.6 The bull was yoked at the rattling cart; his long-haired charioteer cried out.As the yoked beast ran with the cart, the vanishing footprints came to Mudgalani.

10.102.7 Knowing what to do, he raised its wheel and yoked a shoulder-piece, practicing here.Indra helped the lord of the inviolate cows; the hump-backed one sped along on his feet.

10.102.8 The topknotted one drove his goad freely, bound with wooden pieces to the rope,winning strength for many people, touching the cattle and gaining power.

10.102.9 Look at that bull's yoke, the wooden club lying in the midst of the race:with it Mudgala won a thousand cattle, each with a hundred calves, in battles for the prize.

10.102.10 Who ever saw so strange a misfortune? They harness him, then set him down.They bring him neither grass nor water; he bears the farther shaft and directs them.

10.102.11 Like an abandoned wife finding a husband, swelling, pouring as from a flawed wheel,may we win with this very chariot; may what we gain bring good fortune and plenty.

10.102.12 You, Indra, are the eye of all the moving world, the eye of sight.When, bull with a bull, you seek to win the race, you urge on your gelded teammate.

Hymn 10.103 — Seer: Apratiratha Aindra. Deity: Indra, Brihaspati, Apva, and the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh and Anushtubh.

10.103.1 Swift and sharpened, terrible as a bull, blow upon blow, shaking peoples,Indra the roaring, unblinking, solitary champion conquered a hundred armies at once.

10.103.2 With that roaring, unblinking, conquering Indra, fierce in battle, immovable and bold,win and prevail, warriors, with the mighty one who holds the arrow in his hand.

10.103.3 He rules the arrow-bearers and the quiver-bearers; Indra joins battle with his troop.Victorious at the clash, soma-drinker, strong-armed, fierce-bowed, he shoots his readied arrows.

10.103.4 Brihaspati, circle in your chariot, destroying demons and driving enemies away;break armies, crush them, win the battle, and guard our chariots.

10.103.5 Knowing strength, seasoned, foremost hero, mighty champion, fierce in endurance,mount your conquering chariot, Indra, victorious hero, finder of cattle.

10.103.6 Breaker of pens, finder of cattle, mace-armed, victorious in the race, crushing with force:kinsmen, inspire this Indra; friends, join yourselves to him.

10.103.7 Breaking into the cattle pens by force, unyielding champion, hundred-spirited Indra,immovable, conqueror of armies, fighter: guard our troops as battle begins.

10.103.8 Let Indra lead them, Brihaspati stand at the right, and sacrifice and Soma go before;let the Maruts march in front of the gods' armies as they crush and conquer.

10.103.9 The fierce force of mighty Indra, King Varuna, the Adityas, and the Maruts:the shout of gods, high-minded, shaking the world, rose up in victory.

10.103.10 Raise up the weapons, generous one; raise the spirits of my warriors.Raise the horses' speed, Vritra-slayer; let the cries of conquering chariots rise.

10.103.11 May Indra be ours when banners clash; may our arrows win.May our heroes stand above the rest; gods, help us at our calls.

10.103.12 Entice away their minds, Apva, and seize their limbs; go to them.Go against them, burn their hearts with grief; let blind darkness cling to our enemies.

10.103.13 Go forth and conquer, men; may Indra grant you shelter.May your arms be formidable, so that none can overcome you.

Hymn 10.104 — Seer: Ashtaka Vaishvamitra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.104.1 Soma is pressed for you, much-invoked one; come swiftly to the sacrifice with your bay horses.Songs from inspired heroes hasten toward you, Indra; drink the pressed soma.

10.104.2 Drink here the soma cleansed in water, bay-horsed one, pressed by men; fill your belly.The stones have blended it for you, Indra; swell with their joy, bearer of hymns.

10.104.3 I bring you the strong and genuine draught of the pressed drink, bay-horsed bull.Rejoice here, Indra, in songs and every thought, praised for your power.

10.104.4 With your help and strength, the Ushij priests, knowing Truth, bring nourishment;with offspring, Indra, they stand in man's house, praising, companions at the feast.

10.104.5 Through your guidance, bay-horsed one, with well-spoken praise, the people shine with joy.Indra, your singers, holding your richest help, offer their gracious words.

10.104.6 Come with your bay horses to the prayers and drink the pressed soma.Indra, the sacrifice has reached you as you waited; the donor knows this rite.

10.104.7 Songs adorn unconquered Indra, rich in a thousand prizes, overcoming attacks,generous, worthy of praise; the singer's reverence celebrates him.

10.104.8 The seven divine rivers, swift and uninjured, by which you crossed the Sindhu, Indra, breaker of forts;you found a path for gods and man through ninety flowing streams and nine more.

10.104.9 You freed the great waters from the curse, wakeful god alone.Indra, with the powers you made in conquering Vritra, nourish your body for a full life.

10.104.10 Indra's will is heroic, his praise beautiful; the song invokes the much-invoked one.He crushed Vritra and made space; powerful Shakra overcame armies, our help.

10.104.11 May we call generous Indra for blessing in this contest for the prize, greatest of heroes,fierce but listening, our help in battles, slayer of Vritras and winner of wealth.

Hymn 10.105 — Seer: Durmitra Kautsa, or Sumitra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Ushnih, Gayatri, and Trishtubh.

10.105.1 When, lord of wealth, will praise delight you? Beard and jaws hold back the stream.Drink long of the soma and swell with wind.

10.105.2 His two bay horses, well yoked and obedient, follow the racing stallion's trail.Like two shining regions, the long-haired pair bear their lord.

10.105.3 Indra warded evil from them; like a mortal weary and afraid,he yoked himself for splendor, filled with strength.

10.105.4 Indra accompanies his companion, pulling near the cart, honoring him;the hero Indra stands beside the two flowing, obedient ones.

10.105.5 He stood upon the long-haired pair, spacious and nourished;with his two jaws, the strong-jawed one wins.

10.105.6 The lofty and strong hero sang forth; he shaped his lofty works with might,like the craftsman Ribhu with skill, like Matarishvan.

10.105.7 He made the mace to strike the Dasyu well, golden-haired, golden in form,with tireless jaws, a wonder like the heavens.

10.105.8 Clear away our crooked ways; with song may we win songs.No sacrifice without prayer finds favor with you apart from us.

10.105.9 When your triple fire rose high in the place where the sacrifice is yoked,it shared the boat of glory with its companion.

10.105.10 For your splendor the dappled cow became a vessel for pouring; for your splendor, the spotless ladle,with which you pour upward into your own cup.

10.105.11 Whether a hundred powers opposed you, Sumitra praised you thus, Durmitra praised you thus.You helped Kutsa's son in the killing of Dasyus; you helped Kutsa's child against the Dasyus.

Hymn 10.106 — Seer: Bhutamsha Kashyapa. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.106.1 Both of you now seek just this: you stretch out thoughts as a seamstress spreads cloth.You hasten, traveling together; like nourishment on a fine day, you spread yourselves out.

10.106.2 Like camels you rest among bushes; like harnessed beasts, you command the swift team.Like messengers you stand renowned among men; do not stand aloof like buffalo from the drinking place.

10.106.3 Come, united like the wings of a bird, bright like beasts of sacrifice.Shining like Agni for worshipers, circling like the sky, you are worshiped everywhere.

10.106.4 Come to us as fathers to a son, shining like lords, rulers to save us;like food for nourishment, like rays to enjoy, like eager steeds answering a call.

10.106.5 Like paired beams you have been fastened; like Mitra, you guard a hundred Truths.High as the prize, mature, dwelling in warmth, like two rams you seek rich worship.

10.106.6 Like sickles you are twisting and swift, like Etasha racing and flashing;like two thirsting ones you rejoice in victory: these are my ageless songs for the mortal pair.

10.106.7 Like swift messengers you cross difficult tasks, mighty in your pursuits;like Ribhus, untiring, swift-footed, like wind, you quicken the dwellings of the wealthy.

10.106.8 Like hot milk you pour honey into the belly; like Bhaga you give the far-reaching share.Like two birds you fly, beautifully adorned, moving in thought, beyond thought's reach.

10.106.9 You find a foundation in the deeps like tall pillars; like feet you cross the ford.Like ears you remember the teaching; share with us bright treasure as your portion.

10.106.10 You send forth honey like two workers; like bees you descend toward the cow.Like farmers sweating over the work, like earth with strength, you join the good pasture.

10.106.11 May we complete praise and gain the prize: come to our song here in one chariot.Like ripe fruit and honey among cattle, Bhutamsha fulfilled the Ashvins' desire.

Hymn 10.107 — Seer: Divya Angirasa, or Dakshina Prajapatya. Deity: the gift, or the givers. Meter: Trishtubh and Jagati.

10.107.1 Their great generosity has appeared; all living things have been freed from darkness.The vast light bestowed by the fathers has arrived; the broad path of the gift appears.

10.107.2 Givers of gifts stand high in heaven; those who give horses are with the sun.Givers of gold share in immortality; givers of clothing, Soma, extend their lives.

10.107.3 The divine fulfillment is the gift at worship; the gods do not fill the ungenerous.But men offering their gifts fill many hands, fearing reproach.

10.107.4 Men of vision see the hundred-streamed wind, the sun that finds heaven, as their offering.Those who give freely at the gathering milk the seven-mothered gift.

10.107.5 The giver comes first when called; the giver marches foremost as leader of the band.I count as ruler of men the one who first sought out the gift.

10.107.6 They call him a seer, a priest, worthy of sacrifice, singer of chants and reciter of hymns.He knows the three bodies of the radiant one, who first prospered through the gift.

10.107.7 The gift gives a horse, the gift a cow, the gift bright gold;the gift wins food. Whoever is discerning makes the gift his armor.

10.107.8 The generous do not die or pass into poverty; the generous are not harmed or troubled.All this world and heaven as well: the gift grants it all to them.

10.107.9 The generous have won a fragrant dwelling first; the generous have won a beautifully dressed bride.The generous have won a drink of wine inside; the generous have won against those who go uninvited.

10.107.10 For the generous man they groom a swift horse; for him a maiden stands adorned.His home is like a lotus pool, well furnished, resplendent as a god's dwelling.

10.107.11 Fine horses carry the generous man; the gift's fine chariot rolls along.Gods, guard the generous man in battles; he conquers enemies in close combat.

Hymn 10.108 — Seer: the Panis and Sarama. Deity: Sarama and the Panis. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.108.1 “What do you seek, Sarama, coming here? The road is far, exhausting, leading away.What message brings you? What brought you through? How did you cross the Rasa's waters?”

10.108.2 “Sent as Indra's messenger, I travel, Panis, seeking your great hoards.Fear came to my aid at the crossing, and so I crossed the Rasa's waters.”

10.108.3 “What kind of Indra is he, Sarama, what is his appearance, whose messenger you came so far?Let him come here; we will make him our friend, and he shall be master of our cattle.”

10.108.4 “I know he cannot be deceived, though he can deceive, whose messenger I came so far.The deep rushing rivers cannot hide him; Panis, you will lie slain by Indra.”

10.108.5 “These cows you seek, fortunate Sarama, wander to the far edges of heaven.Who will let you take them without a fight? Our weapons too are sharp.”

10.108.6 “Your words, Panis, are no weapons; your wicked bodies are unfit for arrows.May the path you travel be impassable; Brihaspati will spare neither side of you.”

10.108.7 “This treasure, Sarama, rests on stone, filled with cows, horses, and riches.The Panis guard it well; you came to this place in vain.”

10.108.8 “The seers will come here, sharpened by soma: Ayasya and the ninefold Angirases.They will divide this cattle pen; Panis, then you will swallow your words.”

10.108.9 “You came, Sarama, driven here by divine force.We will make you our sister; do not go back. We will share the cattle with you, fortunate one.”

10.108.10 “I know no brotherhood or sisterhood; Indra and the fearsome Angirases know.Hungry for cattle, they covered me when I came. Panis, make your escape, far away.”

10.108.11 “Go far away, Panis, far away. Let the cows come forth, fulfilling Truth,whom Brihaspati found hidden, with Soma, the pressing stones, and the inspired seers.”

Hymn 10.109 — Seer: Juhu, the priest's wife, or Urdhvanabha. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh and Anushtubh.

10.109.1 They spoke first of the offense against the priest: the vast sea, Matarishvan,the fierce blazing one, giver of delight, and the divine waters, firstborn through Truth.

10.109.2 King Soma first returned the priest's wife, unashamed.Varuna and Mitra followed her back; Agni the priest led her by the hand.

10.109.3 “She must be taken by the hand, for she is the priest's wife,” they said.“She has not been sent to a messenger”; thus the ruler's kingdom was kept secure.

10.109.4 The ancient gods spoke about her, the seven seers who sat down to practice austerity:“Terrible is the priest's wife when led away; she bears a hard burden in highest heaven.”

10.109.5 The student goes on his course, filled with desire; he becomes one limb of the gods.Through him Brihaspati recovered his wife Juhu, taken by Soma, not by the gods.

10.109.6 The gods returned her; mortals returned her too.Kings who upheld truth gave back the priest's wife.

10.109.7 Returning the priest's wife, clearing themselves of guilt before the gods,they shared the earth's vigor and worshiped the broad-reaching one.

Hymn 10.110 — Seer: Jamadagni Bhargava, or Rama Jamadagnya. Deity: the kindling wood or kindled Agni, Tanunapat, Ila, the ritual grass, the divine doors, Ushas and Night, the two divine priests, Sarasvati, Ila and Bharati, Tvashtar, the tree, and the svaha-offerings. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.110.1 Kindled today in man's house, divine Agni, you sacrifice to the gods, knower of births.Bring Mitra, discerning one: you are the messenger, inspired and wise.

10.110.2 Child of Yourself, anoint the paths that travel by Truth with honey, sweeten them, fair-tongued one.Strengthen our songs with insight and our sacrifice; make our rite reach the gods.

10.110.3 Called here, worthy of praise and reverence, come, Agni, in harmony with the Vasus.You are the gods' great priest; urged on, most worthy of sacrifice, worship them.

10.110.4 The ritual grass is spread eastward across the earth before the early dawn.It opens wide and wider, a kindly resting place for gods and Aditi.

10.110.5 Let the spacious doors unfold broadly, like women adorned for their husbands.Divine doors, lofty and all-sustaining, grant the gods an easy passage.

10.110.6 Let Ushas and Night come close, gracefully approaching the sacrifice, and sit in their place:two heavenly women, great and splendid, wearing bright beauty upon themselves.

10.110.7 The two divine priests, first of speakers, measure out the sacrifice for man to perform,inspiring the singers at gatherings, pointing to the light in the east.

10.110.8 Let Bharati come swiftly to our sacrifice, Ila awakening here as among men.Let the three skillful goddesses, with Sarasvati, sit upon this welcoming grass.

10.110.9 He who adorned these two parents, heaven and earth, and all the worlds with forms:worship the god Tvashtar here today, priest, discerning and summoned to sacrifice.

10.110.10 Release and anoint the offerings yourself, the gods' food in its due season.May the tree, the divine butcher, Agni, let them savor the oblation with honey and ghee.

10.110.11 Just born, Agni measured out the sacrifice and went before the gods.At this priest's direction, at the word of Truth, may the gods eat the oblation offered with “svaha.”

Hymn 10.111 — Seer: Ashtadamshtra Vairupa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.111.1 Wise ones, bring forth your thought, however men's thoughts may be.Let us stir Indra with true deeds; the hero knows and loves the songs.

10.111.2 Thought flashed from Truth's seat; the bull, child of the stall, came among the cows.He rose with a powerful roar and spread across even the vast realms.

10.111.3 Indra surely knows his fame: victorious, he made a path for the sun.Unshaken, he made her his own, lord of the cow and of heaven, ancient and unmatched.

10.111.4 In his greatness Indra broke the bounds of the mighty sea, praised by the Angirases.He stretched out the many realms and upheld their foundation in truth.

10.111.5 Indra knows every offering, counterpart of heaven and earth; he strikes down Shushna.He spread even vast heaven with the sun and propped it with the greatest prop.

10.111.6 With the mace the Vritra-slayer struck Vritra and scattered the growing demon's deceits.Boldly you struck him down here with daring; then, generous one, your arms grew strong.

10.111.7 When the dawns joined the sun, they found his bright rays pleasing.When the star vanished from heaven, where it went no one truly knows.

10.111.8 Far indeed went the first of those waters that flowed at Indra's command.Where is their source, where their foundation? Waters, where are your middle and your end?

10.111.9 You released the rivers seized by the serpent, and then they scattered swiftly.Longing for freedom, they were set free; henceforth, poured out, they never rest.

10.111.10 Desiring the Sindhu, they went together, like women to an ancient lover, their breaker of forts.Indra, the earthly riches and ancient gracious words came home to us.

Hymn 10.112 — Seer: Nabha-Prabhedana Vairupa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.112.1 Drink the pressed soma to your heart's desire, Indra; the first draught of the morning pressing is yours.Rejoice to strike your enemies, hero; with hymns we proclaim your powers.

10.112.2 Come to drink soma in that chariot of yours swifter than thought, Indra.Let the bay stallions that carry you come racing here, delighted bull.

10.112.3 Touch your body with the sun's bay-colored brilliance and its finest forms.Called by us your friends, Indra, sit among us and rejoice.

10.112.4 Even vast heaven and earth could not contain your greatness in your ecstasy.Come to this dwelling, Indra, with your dear bay horses yoked, to food you love.

10.112.5 You who, drinking always, made enemies unable to answer in battle:this soma pressed for your joy, Indra, stirs your abundance and power.

10.112.6 Here is your oldest cup, Indra; drink soma from it, hundred-powered one.The trough is full of intoxicating honey, desired by all the gods.

10.112.7 For across many places, Indra, people with offerings call on you, bull.These most honeyed pressings of ours are yours; delight in them.

10.112.8 I tell of your earliest powers, Indra, and now proclaim your first deeds.Your anger broke the rock, and you made the cow easy for the priest to find.

10.112.9 Sit down among the companies, lord of companies: they call you the wisest of poets.Nothing can be accomplished far from you; generous one, sing the great shining song.

10.112.10 Look on us who implore you, generous friend; be mindful of friends, lord of wealth.Make the battle, true-spirited maker of battle; even without a portion, share your riches with us.

Hymn 10.113 — Seer: Shata-Prabhedana Vairupa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

10.113.1 Heaven and earth together, with all the gods, favored his strength,when Indra displayed his divine greatness and, drinking soma, grew wise.

10.113.2 Vishnu gave force to his greatness, bearing the honeyed drop that spreads abroad.Generous Indra, going with the gods, struck Vritra and became worthy of praise.

10.113.3 When you faced Vritra the serpent, bearing weapons, ready for battle to win fame,all the Maruts together increased your terrible divine greatness there.

10.113.4 From birth he repelled rivals; the hero saw the contest that would show his manhood.He cut the mountain open, set its streams loose, and by skill upheld the broad sky.

10.113.5 Then Indra drew forth all his strength and opened a wider way between heaven and earth.Fierce, he brought down the iron mace, a blessing to Mitra, Varuna, and the giver.

10.113.6 There Indra's swelling powers gave free rein to his anger against deceit.When the fierce one cut Vritra apart by force, the waters he held lay wrapped in darkness.

10.113.7 The earliest exploits to be performed came together as both strove for greatness.He drove the blind darkness away, struck his foe; Indra surged forth in greatness when first invoked.

10.113.8 All the gods enlarged your bull-like strength with soma-filled song.Vritra the serpent, restrained by Indra's stroke, gasped like fire gripped in jaws.

10.113.9 Proclaim the many friendships through skill, words, hymns, and fellowships.Indra, who crushed Dhuni and Chumuri, heeds the faithful mind for Dabhiti.

10.113.10 Bring us plentiful fine horses, that with them I may proclaim your deeds.By easy roads may we cross every trouble; show us the broad ford today.

Hymn 10.114 — Seer: Sadhri Vairupa, or Gharma Tapasa. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh and Jagati.

10.114.1 Two hot vessels encompassed the threefold rite; Matarishvan came to share their favor.Desiring heaven's milk, they approached; the gods knew the powerful song.

10.114.2 Three gifts attend dissolution; the far-hearing priests know them apart.Poets discovered their hidden source in secret ordinances beyond.

10.114.3 A young woman with four braids, beautiful, her face shining with ghee, wears sacred patterns.In her two powerful birds settled, where the gods assigned their shares.

10.114.4 One bird entered the sea; he surveys this whole world.With an innocent mind I saw him close by; his mother licks him and he licks his mother.

10.114.5 The wise poets fashion the one bird into many through their words.They set meters in the sacrifices and measure twelve soma cups.

10.114.6 Fashioning thirty-six and four, and ordering the meters up to twelve,the thoughtful poets measure the sacrifice and send the chariot rolling with hymn and chant.

10.114.7 Fourteen other powers belong to him; seven wise men guide him with speech.Who here can tell of the ford they reach, the path by which they drink the pressed soma?

10.114.8 Fifteen hymns spread in a thousand ways, extending as far as heaven and earth.A thousandfold are the powers, a thousand: as far as sacred speech extends, so far does the word.

10.114.9 Which sage knows how the meters are yoked? Who has found the voice at the sacred seat?Whom do they call the eighth hero among priests? Who has discerned Indra's bay horses?

10.114.10 Some circle the ends of earth, standing yoked to the chariot shafts.They divide the wage for their labor when Yama is installed in the house.

Hymn 10.115 — Seer: Upastuta Varshtihavya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati, Trishtubh, and Shakvari.

10.115.1 Strange is the young child's growth: he does not approach his mothers to suckle.Though born without udders, he has grown, at once carrying out a great embassy.

10.115.2 Agni was named the most skillful one with teeth, joining the woods with his ash-eating jaws.His tongue reaches forward; lord of the fine rite, like a bull snorting at pasture.

10.115.3 See that god of nourishment, perched like a bird in a tree, a swelling drop scattering floods.See the bearer, blazing from his mouth with flame, majestic in ordinance, running along the paths.

10.115.4 As you speed, immortal one, your unfailing winds swirl about your consuming force.The joyous warriors seek Trita as they fight, commanding him to bring sustenance.

10.115.5 Agni, most beloved of Kanva, friend of Kanva, crosses over near and distant foes.May Agni guard the singer and patrons; may Agni grant us their protection.

10.115.6 For the strongest champion, good father, rushing after the knower of births,who boldly wins a prize even in barren land, the greatest reaches out across the desert.

10.115.7 So Agni is praised by mortals, generous patrons, and men, strength-born lord of wealth.Like friends steadfast and devoted to Truth, like shining heavens, they embrace mankind with glory.

10.115.8 “Child of strength, mighty one,” the powerful voice of Upastuta honors you.Let us praise you; with you may we have brave sons and carry a longer life across.

10.115.9 Thus the seers, sons of Varshtihavya, praised you, Agni, as Upastutas.Guard them and the singing patrons; crying “vashat, vashat,” they rise up, and crying “honor, honor,” they rise up.

Hymn 10.116 — Seer: Agniyuta Sthaura, or Agniyupa Sthaura. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.116.1 Drink soma for your mighty power, Indra; drink to strike Vritra, strongest one.Drink for wealth and strength when called; drink deep of honey, Indra, and grow mighty.

10.116.2 Drink the best of this resounding soma set before you, pressed for you, Indra.Rejoice in your mind, giver of welfare; turn toward us for abundant happiness.

10.116.3 May heavenly soma thrill you, Indra, and that pressed among mortals thrill you.May the drink that opened a path thrill you, and that with which you destroy enemies.

10.116.4 Let broad Indra come, the bull, with two bay horses, to the drink poured out,to the milk-rich sweetness of the pressed soma; overcome fatigue and flourish, slayer of the ruddy one.

10.116.5 Flash forth your sharp shining weapons; loosen the fixed strongholds of sorcerers.I grant your fierce self strength and might: face your enemies and cut through their disputes.

10.116.6 Spread out fame among the Aryas, Indra; against attacks stand firm like a bow.Growing with strength for our sake, unharmed, increase your bodily power.

10.116.7 This offering is given to you, generous one; receive it without anger, sovereign.For you soma is pressed, generous one, for you food is cooked: eat, Indra, and drink what is set before you.

10.116.8 Eat these offerings set before you, Indra; take delight and drink the cooked soma.We honor you with food; let the worshiper's desires come true.

10.116.9 I send fine praise to Indra and Agni, setting a boat afloat on the Sindhu with songs.The gods who give us wealth and break open treasures circle us like spokes.

Hymn 10.117 — Seer: Bhikshu Angirasa. Deity: the gift of wealth and food. Meter: Jagati.

10.117.1 The gods did not make hunger our death; even the well-fed meet death.The wealth of one who gives is not exhausted, while the one who does not give finds no comforter.

10.117.2 When a man with food hardens his heart against the poor man who asks for bread,who comes to him in need, he will find no comforter in turn.

10.117.3 Generous is the one who gives to a beggar, to a thin man traveling in hunger.He finds enough along his path and makes a friend among those to come.

10.117.4 No friend is he who will not give food to the friend who stands beside him in need.Let him leave; this is no home for him. Let him seek another generous man, though a stranger.

10.117.5 Let the strong man give to the beggar and look upon the long road ahead.Wealth turns like chariot wheels, visiting one man and then another.

10.117.6 The mindless man wins food in vain: I speak the truth, it is his death.He feeds neither companion nor friend; eating alone, he bears guilt alone.

10.117.7 The plow that works the field brings food; the traveler with his feet completes the road.The priest who speaks is worth more than one who does not; the generous friend surpasses the ungenerous.

10.117.8 The one-footed passes the two-footed; the two-footed comes behind the three-footed.The four-footed approaches the call of the two-footed, seeing the ranks draw near.

10.117.9 Two hands are alike, yet their work is unequal; two cows of one mother yield unlike milk.Even twins have different strength; even kinsmen do not give alike.

Hymn 10.118 — Seer: Urukshaya Amahiya. Deity: Agni, destroyer of demons. Meter: Gayatri.

10.118.1 Agni, you destroy the devourer, blazing among mortals,in your own dwelling, keeper of pure ordinances.

10.118.2 You rise, well offered to, rejoicing in the ghee,when the ladles are brought together for you.

10.118.3 Thus offered to, Agni shines, worthy of a song of praise;his face is anointed with the ladle.

10.118.4 Agni is anointed with ghee, honey-faced when offered to;he shines, lord of splendor.

10.118.5 Growing old you are kindled for the gods, carrier of oblations;mortals call on you.

10.118.6 Mortals honor immortal Agni with ghee,the invincible lord of the house.

10.118.7 With invincible flame, Agni, burn the demon;shine, guardian of Truth.

10.118.8 Agni, with your flaming face burn the sorceresses,shining among the Urukshayas.

10.118.9 The Urukshayas kindled you with songs, carrier of oblations,most worthy of sacrifice among humankind.

Hymn 10.119 — Seer: Laba Aindra. Deity: Indra himself. Meter: Gayatri.

10.119.1 “So thinks my mind: I shall win cows and horses.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.2 “The drinks have lifted me, shaking me like winds.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.3 “The drinks have swept me up as swift horses pull a chariot.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.4 “A thought came close to me like a beloved child to its bellowing mother.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.5 “Like a carpenter shaping a chariot seat, I shape thought with my heart.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.6 “Not even the five peoples appear to me as a mere speck.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.7 “Not even both heaven and earth together can match a single wing of mine.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.8 “In greatness I have surpassed heaven and this vast earth.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.9 “Come, I shall set this earth down here or there.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.10 “I shall strike this earth hard here or there.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.11 “One of my wings is in heaven, the other I have dragged below.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.12 “I am greatness upon greatness, risen up to the vault of heaven.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

10.119.13 “I go home adorned, carrying the oblation to the gods.Could it be that I have drunk soma?”

Hymn 10.120 — Seer: Brihaddiva Atharvana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.120.1 That was oldest among all worlds, the birthplace of the fierce one of blazing strength.Born at once, he destroys his enemies, while all his helpers rejoice in him.

10.120.2 Growing in might, rich in strength, he sets fear in the Dasa, his enemy.The breathing and the breathless alike praise you in the joys set forth.

10.120.3 All turn their purpose toward you when these helpers become two and then three.Pour sweeter from sweet with sweet; fight the battle with honeyed honey.

10.120.4 The inspired rejoice in you at every feast as you win their treasures.Spread your stronger, daring power; let no wicked sorcerers deceive you.

10.120.5 Through you we prevail in battles, seeing many feats of war before us.With words I urge on your weapons and with prayer sharpen your forces.

10.120.6 I would praise Ribhu of many forms, mightiest of helpers among helpers.With strength he breaks the seven demons and overcomes many opposing forces.

10.120.7 You set in place both the nearer and the farther world in the house you guarded with help.You established the two wandering mothers and drove forward the many deeds.

10.120.8 These prayers of Brihaddiva proclaim primeval power for Indra, winner of light.Self-ruling, he dwells in the great cattle pen and opened all its doors.

10.120.9 So great Brihaddiva Atharvana spoke of Indra as his very self.The stainless sister-mothers urge him onward and strengthen him with might.

Hymn 10.121 — Seer: Hiranyagarbha Prajapatya. Deity: Prajapati. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.121.1 Hiranyagarbha arose in the beginning, born sole lord of all that exists.He upheld this earth and heaven: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.2 He who gives life and strength, whose command all obey, even the gods,whose shadow is immortality, whose shadow death: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.3 He alone became king of the breathing, blinking world through greatness;he rules its two-footed and four-footed creatures: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.4 By his greatness these snowy mountains stand, and they call the sea and the Rasa his;these directions are his arms: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.5 By him mighty heaven and firm earth are fixed, by him the sunlit sky and vault upheld;he measures the midair's expanse: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.6 Heaven and earth, held firm by his aid yet trembling in their minds, gazed upon him,where the risen sun shines: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.7 When the great waters came over all, carrying the embryo and giving birth to Agni,from them arose the gods' one living spirit: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.8 He who in greatness surveyed the waters bearing creative power and giving birth to sacrifice,who alone was god over the gods: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.9 May he not harm us, who fathered earth and gave birth to heaven according to true law,who begot the shining, mighty waters: to which god shall we offer with oblation?

10.121.10 Prajapati, no one but you encompasses all these beings born.Let what we desire when we offer to you be ours; may we be lords of riches.

Hymn 10.122 — Seer: Chitramaha Vasishtha. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

10.122.1 I praise him like treasure, of wondrous greatness, beloved, gracious guest, beyond hatred.Agni the priest and householder grants heroic power, sustaining and sheltering all.

10.122.2 Receive and delight in my word, Agni, knowing all the ways, wise one.Clothed in ghee, send a path to prayer; the gods were born according to your ordinance.

10.122.3 Immortal, circling seven dwellings, give freely to the virtuous giver.Agni, delight in the one who reaches you with kindling, and give him abundant heroic wealth.

10.122.4 Seven offerers with oblations praise Agni, first herald of sacrifice, fleet champion,listening, ghee-backed, fruitful, filling the generous giver with heroic power.

10.122.5 You are the first messenger, most worthy to be chosen; summoned, rejoice in immortality.The Maruts anointed you in the giver's home; the Bhrigus made you shine through hymns.

10.122.6 Milking food from the yielding cow who sustains all for the worshiper you love, wise one,Agni, dripping ghee, shining thrice in Truth, you circle the sacrifice in wisdom.

10.122.7 At the break of dawn men made you their messenger and sacrificed.The gods enlarged you for greatness, Agni, anointing you with clarified butter at the rite.

10.122.8 The discerning Vasishthas called you down, swift Agni, singing at gatherings.Keep abundance for worshipers; guard us always with blessings.

Hymn 10.123 — Seer: Vena Bhargava. Deity: Vena. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.123.1 Vena stirs the light born of the dappled cow, wrapped like an embryo in the midair.At the meeting of waters and sun, poets caress this child with their thoughts.

10.123.2 Vena lifts a wave from the sea, born in the sky; the beloved one's back appears.He shines atop the height of Truth; the waters sing toward their common womb.

10.123.3 The ancient mothers, dwelling together, stand calling to their calf in one voice.Moving on Truth's summit, they lick the voice of immortal honey.

10.123.4 The poets, knowing his form, fashioned the wild beast's cry and came to the buffalo.Traveling by Truth, they stood above the river; the Gandharva found the names of immortality.

10.123.5 The Apsaras, smiling on her lover, bears him as a woman in highest heaven.Beloved, he moves through the beloved's wombs; Vena settles in the golden wing.

10.123.6 Longing with our hearts, we saw you, the bright bird flying toward heaven's vault,golden-winged messenger of Varuna, restless bird in Yama's dwelling.

10.123.7 The Gandharva stood high in heaven, facing us, bearing his shining weapons,clothed in a fragrant robe, beautiful to behold, making beloved names like the sun.

10.123.8 As the drop goes toward the sea, looking with the vulture's eye across the orders,the light delights in bright flame, cherished in the third circle of the sky.

Hymn 10.124 — Seers: Agni, Varuna, and Soma. Deity: Agni, his own self, Varuna, Soma, and Indra. Meter: Trishtubh and Jagati.

10.124.1 Come to this sacrifice of ours, Agni, fivefold in motion, triple, seven-stranded.Be our carrier of offerings and our leader; you have lain long in enduring darkness.

10.124.2 A god coming secretly from the godless, seeing clearly, I go toward immortality.I leave what is unholy, though it was good; from old friendship I come to the fire sticks' navel.

10.124.3 Seeing another line's guest, I measured out the many dwellings of Truth.I announce blessings to my lordly father; from the unsacrificial I go to a share of sacrifice.

10.124.4 I spent many years among them; choosing Indra, I leave my father.Agni, Soma, Varuna, they depart; the kingship has turned, and I go to its better side.

10.124.5 Those demons have lost their power of illusion, and you desire me, Varuna.By Truth, king, separate truth from falsehood; take command of my kingdom.

10.124.6 This is the sunlight, this is what was lovely, this wide midair full of light.Let us strike Vritra; come out, Soma. You are worthy of offering; with oblation we worship you.

10.124.7 The poet in his wisdom set a form in heaven; Varuna released the waters that had no source.Like women making a safe home, the pure rivers bear his color.

10.124.8 They attend his greatest power; he dwells in these waters rejoicing in their own strength.Like clans choosing a king, they stood apart from Vritra, shuddering at him.

10.124.9 They call him the swan, companion of those who tremble, moving among heaven's waters.Inspired poets discerned Indra, stirred by the Anushtubh verse.

Hymn 10.125 — Seer: Vac Ambhrini. Deity: the Self. Meter: Trishtubh and Jagati.

10.125.1 I move with the Rudras and Vasus, with the Adityas and all the gods.I sustain Mitra and Varuna both, Indra and Agni, and the Ashvins both.

10.125.2 I sustain swelling Soma, Tvashtar, Pushan, and Bhaga.I set wealth before the giver of oblations, the good worshiper who presses soma.

10.125.3 I am the queen, gatherer of treasures, the discerning one, first among those worthy of sacrifice.The gods placed me in many places, entering many dwellings, spreading far.

10.125.4 Through me a man eats food, sees, breathes, and hears the spoken word.Those who do not perceive me dwell by my side. Listen, listener: what I say is worthy of faith.

10.125.5 I myself proclaim what gods and men alike welcome.Whomever I love I make mighty: I make him a priest, a seer, a man of good understanding.

10.125.6 I stretch Rudra's bow so its arrow strikes the hater of sacred prayer.I make war for the people; I have entered heaven and earth.

10.125.7 I bring forth the father on the world's summit; my womb is in the waters, within the sea.From there I spread through all the worlds and touch even distant heaven with my crown.

10.125.8 I myself blow like the wind, setting all worlds in motion.Beyond heaven, beyond this earth, I have grown so vast in greatness.

Hymn 10.126 — Seer: Kulmalabarhisha Shailushi, or Anhomug Vamadevi. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Brihati and Trishtubh.

10.126.1 No distress, no evil comes upon the mortal whom the gods,Aryaman, Mitra, and Varuna together guide past hatred.

10.126.2 That is what we choose, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman:with it you guard and lead a mortal out of distress and past hatred.

10.126.3 Let Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman be here now to help us,the best guides to lead us, the best ferrymen to carry us past hatred.

10.126.4 You protect the whole world, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman.Under your beloved shelter may we be led well past hatred.

10.126.5 Adityas, bring us past betrayal—Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman.We call on fierce Rudra with the Maruts, Indra and Agni, for well-being past hatred.

10.126.6 Lead us beyond them, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman,through all troubles, kings of men, beyond hatred.

10.126.7 May Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman grant us auspicious aid;Adityas, grant the wide shelter we ask for, past hatred.

10.126.8 As once, Vasus, you freed even a cow whose foot was caught, worshipful ones,so free us from distress; Agni, carry our lives farther across.

Hymn 10.127 — Seer: Kushika Saubhara, or Ratri Bharadvaji. Deity: Night. Meter: Gayatri.

10.127.1 Night approaches, goddess, showing herself in many places with her eyes;she has put on all glories.

10.127.2 The immortal goddess has filled the heights and the depths;with her light she drives away the darkness.

10.127.3 The approaching goddess has sent forth her sister Ushas;then the darkness will depart.

10.127.4 Let her be ours tonight, as we settle into her pathlike birds into their lodging in a tree.

10.127.5 Villages have settled, footed beasts and birds have settled;even the hunting hawks are still.

10.127.6 Keep the wolf and she-wolf away, Night, keep the thief away;then make yourself easy for us to cross.

10.127.7 Black, close-pressing darkness has stood over me;Ushas, discharge it like a debt.

10.127.8 I have brought you this song as one brings cows; accept it, daughter of heaven.Night, accept my praise like a victor's prize.

Hymn 10.128 — Seer: Vihavya Angirasa. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh and Jagati.

10.128.1 May splendor be mine, Agni, in the contests of summons; kindling you, may we nourish our bodies.Let all four directions bow to me; with you overlooking us, may we win the battles.

10.128.2 May all the gods be mine at the summons, Indra with the Maruts, Vishnu and Agni.May the wide midair be mine; let wind blow for me in this desire.

10.128.3 May the gods bring wealth to my sacrifice; may blessing and divine invocation dwell in me.May the ancient divine priests win; may we be unharmed in body, blessed with brave sons.

10.128.4 Let them sacrifice for me with my offerings; let my heart's resolve prove true.Let me fall into no sin at all; all gods, speak on our behalf.

10.128.5 Six broad goddesses, make broad space for us; all gods, lend courage here.May we not lose our children or our bodies; King Soma, let us not fall to the hater.

10.128.6 Agni, thrusting back others' anger, guard us all around, invincible guardian.Let their concealed attacks turn back toward them; let their wakeful minds vanish.

10.128.7 May Dhatar, maker among makers, lord of the world, our rescuing god who overcomes attacks,and both Ashvins and Brihaspati guard this sacrifice and its worshiper from ruin.

10.128.8 May the wide-reaching bull, much-invoked, rich in sustenance, give shelter at this call.For our children's sake, bay-horsed Indra, show mercy; do not hurt or forsake us.

10.128.9 May our rivals withdraw: with Indra and Agni we drive them away.Vasus, Rudras, and Adityas have made me supreme, fierce, discerning, sovereign.

Hymn 10.129 — Seer: Prajapati Parameshthin. Deity: the origin of existence. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.129.1 There was neither nonbeing nor being then; there was no atmosphere, nor heaven beyond.What covered it? Where? In whose shelter? Was there water, deep and unfathomable?

10.129.2 There was neither death nor deathlessness then, no sign of night or day.That One breathed without wind by its own power; nothing else existed beyond it.

10.129.3 At first darkness was concealed by darkness; all this was an indistinguishable flood.What was becoming, enclosed in emptiness, was born as the One through the power of heat.

10.129.4 Desire arose upon it at the beginning, the first seed of mind.Seeking with wisdom in their hearts, the poets found being's bond in nonbeing.

10.129.5 Their cord stretched crosswise: was there a below? Was there an above?There were seed-givers and mighty forces, power beneath and impulse above.

10.129.6 Who truly knows? Who here can say where this creation came from, where it was born?The gods came after the world's emergence; who then knows where it arose?

10.129.7 This creation, the place it arose from, whether it was established or was not:he who watches it in the highest heaven knows, perhaps—or perhaps he does not know.

Hymn 10.130 — Seer: Yajna Prajapatya. Deity: the origin of the sacrifice. Meter: Trishtubh and Jagati.

10.130.1 The sacrifice stretched on every side with threads, extended by a hundred and one divine rites;our fathers who came before weave it, sitting at the loom: “Weave forward, weave back.”

10.130.2 A man stretches and winds it, a man has extended it across this heavenly vault.These beams have come near the ancient seat; they made chants into shuttles for the weaving.

10.130.3 What was its measure, what its pattern, its foundation? What was the ghee and what enclosing sticks?What was its meter, its opening call and chant, when all the gods sacrificed the god?

10.130.4 Gayatri was yoked with Agni; Savitar joined with Ushnih.Soma with Anushtubh grew through hymns; Brihati supported Brihaspati's speech.

10.130.5 Viraj adorned Mitra and Varuna; Trishtubh was Indra's share of the day.Jagati entered all the gods; by this our human seers made the sacrifice ready.

10.130.6 By this our human seers made ready the sacrifice when our ancient fathers brought it forth.I think I see with my mind's eye those who performed this sacrifice before us.

10.130.7 Together in hymns and meters and measures, seven divine seers,wise, watching the path of the earlier ones, took up the reins like charioteers.

Hymn 10.131 — Seer: Sukirti Kakshivat. Deity: Indra and the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh and Anushtubh.

10.131.1 Drive all our enemies eastward, Indra, westward, overwhelming one.Northward and southward too, hero, so that we may rejoice in your broad shelter.

10.131.2 Might those with barley husk each grain in order as they give it away?Make meals for those who did not come to the ritual grass with reverent devotion.

10.131.3 No appointed season has come for standing firm, nor is fame found at meetings.The poets seek Indra for friendship, wanting cows, horses, and the bull's prize.

10.131.4 With Namuchi the demon, Ashvins, you drank strong liquor,both of you, lords of beauty, helping Indra in his deeds.

10.131.5 As parents help a son, you Ashvins helped Indra by your poetic arts;when you drank strong liquor with your powers, Sarasvati healed you, generous one.

10.131.6 May Indra, sure protector, rich in help, all-knowing, be kind to us.Let him banish hatred and make us fearless; may we be lords of heroic strength.

10.131.7 May we enjoy that worshipful one's favor and kindly disposition.May Indra, rich in aid, sure protector, drive hatred far away from us.

Hymn 10.132 — Seer: Shakaputa Narmedha. Deity: Mitra and Varuna, heaven, earth, and the Ashvins. Meter: Viraj, Pankti, and Brihati.

10.132.1 Heaven adorned the worshiper with praise, earth adorned the worshiper with abundance;the divine Ashvins enlarged the worshiper with favors.

10.132.2 Mitra and Varuna, the earth holds you both; directed by good will, we sacrifice.To accomplish your friendship may we prevail over the demon.

10.132.3 Even now we strive toward your beloved gifts, seeking to become their masters.When the giver increases wealth, no one can withhold his generosity.

10.132.4 That other lordly one is born in heaven; you, Varuna, are king of all.You desire the summit of the chariot; put an end to this sin and betrayal.

10.132.5 Shakaputa finds sin here; under the appointed bond of Mitra he strikes down warriors.Grant us help in our bodies, help in dear offerings worthy of worship.

10.132.6 Your mother Aditi, discerning, purified you with milk like heaven and earth.Look favorably on what is dear; the sun washes with its rays.

10.132.7 You two kings of power took your seat, like a standing chariot at its shafts, seated among trees.Through you Narmedha escaped affliction, and through you Sumedha escaped affliction.

Hymn 10.133 — Seer: Sudas Paijavana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Shakvari, Mahapankti, and Trishtubh.

10.133.1 Sing strength to Indra, leader of the chariot.Even in the press of battle, Vritra-slayer, maker of space, spur us on; let the bowstrings of our opponents break upon their bows.

10.133.2 You released the Sindhu rivers flowing downward; you struck the serpent.Born without an enemy, Indra, you nourish every treasure; we embrace you. Let the bowstrings of our opponents break upon their bows.

10.133.3 Let every hostile thought depart from us, as strangers vanish from sight.Hurl destruction at the foe who wishes to kill us, Indra; your bounty is a gift of riches. Let the bowstrings of our opponents break upon their bows.

10.133.4 Whoever threatens us from all sides, Indra, with a wolf's intent,put him beneath our feet; you repulse and overcome. Let the bowstrings of our opponents break upon their bows.

10.133.5 Whoever attacks us, Indra, whether kinsman or stranger,cast down his strength, like the vast sky itself. Let the bowstrings of our opponents break upon their bows.

10.133.6 We long for you, Indra, and take hold of your friendship.Lead us on Truth's path across all misfortunes. Let the bowstrings of our opponents break upon their bows.

10.133.7 Grant us, Indra, the bounty the cow yields for its chosen singer:may the great cow, its udder whole, swell for us with milk in a thousand streams.

Hymn 10.134 — Seers: Mandhatar Yauvanashva and Godha. Deity: Indra. Meter: Mahapankti and Pankti.

10.134.1 When you spread across heaven and earth like dawn, Indra,a divine mother gave birth to you, great lord of great realms, king of peoples; a blessed mother gave you birth.

10.134.2 Break down the stubborn strength of the man intent on harm.Put underfoot whoever threatens us; a divine mother gave you birth, a blessed mother gave you birth.

10.134.3 Shake down those abundant gifts, all delights, enemy-slayer.With all your powers and helps, mighty Indra; a divine mother gave you birth, a blessed mother gave you birth.

10.134.4 When you, hundred-powered Indra, shake all things loose,come to the soma-presser with wealth and a thousand helps; a divine mother gave you birth, a blessed mother gave you birth.

10.134.5 Let bright flashes fly in every direction around us like drops of sweat;let ill will depart from us like the spreading blades of grass; a divine mother gave you birth, a blessed mother gave you birth.

10.134.6 You bear a long goad, as though it were a power, discerning one.With your foremost step, generous one, drive us on like Yama; a divine mother gave you birth, a blessed mother gave you birth.

10.134.7 We do not diminish any god, nor do we turn anyone away; we follow the word heard in prayer.With wings and arms we grasp each other here.

Hymn 10.135 — Seer: Kumara Yamayana. Deity: Yama. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.135.1 Under the fair-leaved tree where Yama drinks with the gods,our father, lord of the people, follows the ancient ones.

10.135.2 I looked with envy on him as he followed the ancient ones,traveling an evil road; again I longed to see him.

10.135.3 Child, the new wheel-less chariot you fashioned in your mind,with one shaft facing everywhere, you mount it without seeing.

10.135.4 Child, you set that chariot rolling away from the inspired ones;following the chant, it rolled from here, fitted on its frame.

10.135.5 Who fathered the child? Who set the chariot rolling?Who can tell us now how the sending forth came about?

10.135.6 When that sending forth came about, the beginning was born from it.A foundation stretched ahead; the departure was made behind.

10.135.7 This is Yama's dwelling, called the dwelling of the gods.His flute is blown; he is adorned with songs.

Hymn 10.136 — Seers: Juti, Vatajuti, Viprajuti, Vrishanaka, Karikrata, Etasha, and Rishyashringa, the wind-girdled sages.

10.136.1 The long-haired one bears fire, poison, heaven and earth.The long-haired one reveals all heaven; the long-haired one is called this light.

10.136.2 Sages girdled with wind wear saffron-colored, soiled garments.They follow the wind's rushing path when the gods enter them.

10.136.3 “Intoxicated with sagehood, we have mounted the winds.You mortals can see nothing but our bodies.”

10.136.4 He flies through the midair, beholding all forms;the sage is appointed friend to each god for deeds well done.

10.136.5 The wind's horse, Vayu's friend, the sage whom gods impel,he dwells in both oceans, the eastern and western.

10.136.6 Walking the paths of Apsarases, Gandharvas, and wild beasts,the long-haired knower of desire is their sweet, most ecstatic friend.

10.136.7 Vayu stirred the drink for him; Kunannama crushed it,when the long-haired one drank poison from the cup with Rudra.

Hymn 10.137 — Seers: Bharadvaja, Kashyapa, Gotama, Atri, Vishvamitra, Jamadagni, and Vasishtha. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.137.1 Gods, lift up again the fallen man;gods, bring back to life even the one who committed a wrong.

10.137.2 Two winds blow here, from the Sindhu and from far away.Let one blow strength to you; let the other blow your illness away.

10.137.3 Wind, bring medicine here; wind, carry sickness away.You are healer of all, traveling as messenger of the gods.

10.137.4 I come to you with blessings of peace and freedom from harm.I bring you healthy vigor and send your wasting disease away.

10.137.5 Let the gods protect him here, and let the company of Maruts protect him;let all beings guard him so that he may be free of illness.

10.137.6 The waters are medicine, the waters banish disease.The waters heal everything: let them bring healing to you.

10.137.7 With our ten-branched hands and tongue that goes before speech,with these hands that bring no sickness we touch you.

Hymn 10.138 — Seer: Anga Aurava. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

10.138.1 In your friendship, Indra, your bearers, thinking on Truth, broke Vala open.When you brought dawns and waters, giving to Kutsa, you performed marvels for the thinker.

10.138.2 You released the rushing streams from the mountains and brought forth the shining cows; you drank sweet honey.You grew the woodland with that wonder; the sun shone by the song born of Truth.

10.138.3 The sun unyoked his chariot in the center of heaven; the Arya found his counterpart in the Dasa.Indra with Rijishvan broke apart the fixed enchantments of Pipru the demon.

10.138.4 Boldly he broke the impregnable strongholds and shattered the godless stores.Like the sun taking wealth each month, he shattered enemies while they praised the shining one.

10.138.5 Though his army did not fight, the mighty Vritra-slayer broke through and gave, kindling his powers.The smasher feared Indra's mace; Shundhyu went forward, leaving the wagon of dawn.

10.138.6 These are your singular famous deeds: alone you made the one man sacrifice no more.You fixed the measure of months in heaven; the father brings back the wheel you broke.

Hymn 10.139 — Seer: Vishvavasu, the divine Gandharva. Deity: Savitar and the Self. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.139.1 With the sun's rays and golden hair, Savitar raises unceasing light before us.At his urging Pushan goes with knowledge, guardian who sees all worlds.

10.139.2 This watcher of men sits in heaven's center, filling heaven, earth, and midair.He surveys all directions, gleaming, between the earlier and later signs.

10.139.3 Foundation of wealth, gatherer of riches, he sees every form through his powers.Like the god Savitar in true ordinance, like Indra, he stands at the gathering for riches.

10.139.4 The waters saw Vishvavasu the Gandharva, Soma, and wrapped him in Truth.Indra in delight followed them and saw around him the sun's enclosing rings.

10.139.5 May Vishvavasu, heavenly Gandharva, measurer of the midair, speak for us.Whether it is true or something unknown, may he stir our thoughts and protect our thought.

10.139.6 He found a pool in the rivers' course and opened the doors of the stony pens.The Gandharva spoke their immortal names; Indra knew fully the serpents' designs.

Hymn 10.140 — Seer: Agni Pavaka. Deity: Agni. Meter: Satobrihati, Vishtarapaṅkti in verses one and two, and Uparishtajjyotis in verse six.

10.140.1 Agni, your fame and force are great; your flames shine, lord of brilliance.Great-lighted poet, with strength you grant the giver the prize hymns celebrate.

10.140.2 Bright with pure and flawless splendor, you rise into radiance.Son walking between his mothers, you draw close and fill both heaven and earth.

10.140.4 Rule and spread yourself among beings, immortal Agni, to bring us wealth.You shine in visible beauty and fill the gathering with wisdom.

10.140.5 Discerning maker of the sacrifice, dwelling amid great bounty,you grant a lovely gift, blessed abundance, ample food, a gathering of riches.

10.140.6 Men placed Agni, the truthful bull visible to all, before them for favor.With song, human generations praise your divine, attentive ear, far-reaching one.

10.141.3 For aid we call with songs on King Soma, Agni,the Adityas, Vishnu, Surya, and Brihaspati, lord of prayer.

10.141.4 We call here on Indra, Vayu, and Brihaspati, easy to summon,so that all the people may come together with kindly minds.

10.141.5 Urge Aryaman, Brihaspati, and Indra to give,with Vata, Vishnu, Sarasvati, and prize-winning Savitar.

10.142.1 Agni, Jarita has become yours, son of strength; there is no other bond of kinship.Your threefold shelter is blessed: set your harmful flame far from us.

10.142.2 Your birth spreads forth, Agni, as you seek food; you reach all worlds side by side.May our thoughts win swiftly; they march before us, guarding the flock.

10.142.3 Even as you devour, you pass around much grass, Agni, self-sustaining one.Even the fields become wasteland; let us not provoke your fierce arrow.

10.142.4 When you devour over hill and hollow, going separately like a marauding army,and the wind follows your flame, you shear the earth like a barber shaving a beard.

10.142.5 His columns appear: many chariots journey in a single procession.As you cleanse your arms, Agni, you seek earth face down and face up.

10.142.6 Let your strength rise, your flame rise, Agni; let the prizes of your worshiper rise.Swell upward and bend downward as you grow; let all the Vasus rest in you today.

10.142.7 This is the waters' downward course, the ocean's dwelling.Make another path from here, and follow the creatures you desire along it.

10.142.8 On your coming and going paths let flowering grasses grow;let there be lakes and lotuses: these are the ocean's homes.

Hymn 10.143 — Seer: Atri Sankhya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.143.1 You made even aged Atri fit to travel like a horse;you renewed Kakshivan as though he were a chariot.

10.143.2 You held back the dustless one like a prize-winning steed,and untied Atri from his hard knot, bringing the youngest into the light.

10.143.3 Men of marvelous deeds, bright Ashvins, win thoughts for Atri;then our hymn will reach you once more from heaven.

10.143.4 The gift and favor you gave are renowned, generous Ashvins,when you brought us across the assembly in the broad hall.

10.143.5 You set Bhujyu swinging over the sea and across the midair;come to us with your winged ones, truthful pair, for the prize.

10.143.6 Come with graciousness, richest all-knowing heroes, like bringers of peace;fill us with food, as one fills a spring.

Hymn 10.144 — Seer: Tarkshya Suparna, or Urdhvakrishana Yamayana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri, Brihati, Satobrihati, and Vishtarapaṅkti.

10.144.1 This immortal drop of yours flies like a racing horse,a life-giving power for its maker.

10.144.2 This inspired one among us, like a Ribhu, is a mace for the giver;this one sustains Urdhvakrishana's ecstasy, skillfully made like a Ribhu's work.

10.144.3 The bold one was fashioned for the eagle; in his own homes he stands with the pair.He shone upon the serpent's arrows.

10.144.4 The beautiful bird brought him from afar, the falcon's son,he whose path of the serpent has a hundred wheels.

10.144.5 The fair, harmless ruddy measure of drink the falcon brought you with his foot:through it we stretch our span of life; through it kinship stays awake.

10.144.6 So Indra through the soma-drop sustains a mighty abandon even among gods;wisely we stretch our span of life, wise one, through this drink pressed for us.

10.145.2 Upright-leaved, fortunate, beloved by gods, powerful herb,blow away my rival and make my husband mine alone.

10.145.3 I am higher, the higher one, higher than the highest women.My rival is lower, lower than the lowest.

10.145.4 I will not even speak her name; no one finds pleasure in her.We send my rival far, far away.

10.145.5 I am powerful and you are victorious;strong together, let us overcome my rival.

10.145.6 I have set this conquering plant near you; with one stronger still I embrace you.Let your mind run after me like a cow after her calf, like water along its course.

Hymn 10.146 — Seer: Devamuni Airammada. Deity: the forest goddess. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.146.1 Forest goddess, forest goddess, you who seem to vanish far away,why do you not ask the way to the village? Does fear never find you?

10.146.2 When the cricket chirps an answer to the roaring beast,the forest goddess seems to exalt herself with ringing cymbals.

10.146.3 There one seems to see cows grazing, or a house;and in the evening the forest goddess seems to send carts forth.

10.146.4 One calls his cow, another cuts wood;a man staying in the forest at evening imagines someone crying aloud.

10.146.5 The forest goddess does not kill unless someone else comes to her.Having eaten sweet fruit, a man rests at will.

10.146.6 Scented like ointment, fragrant, rich in food, never plowed,I have praised the forest goddess, mother of wild creatures.

Hymn 10.147 — Seer: Suvedas Shairishi. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati and Trishtubh.

10.147.1 I put faith in your primeval fury when you struck Vritra and freed the rivers for mankind.Both heaven and earth follow you and tremble at your power, mace-bearing one.

10.147.2 With flawless powers you crushed the cunning Vritra, intent on renown.Men choose you in contests for cattle and at every rite of invocation.

10.147.3 Look kindly upon these patrons, much-invoked one, who have grown and attained gifts.They sing for children and offspring, for sustenance and the fleet-footed prize, for unashamed wealth.

10.147.4 That man desires well-kept riches who recognizes Indra's quickening joy.Growing you through a sacrificial gift, generous one, he quickly brings home a prize for men.

10.147.5 Praised for your greatness, open wide a place for our troop, generous one; give riches.Be our Mitra, wonder-worker like Varuna; divide the food we share, marvelous one.

10.148.2 Lofty hero Indra, you were born to overpower Dasa peoples with the sun.We bear the secret treasure hidden in the waters, as soma is held in the flowing stream.

10.148.3 Wise poet, sing the noble men's songs, desiring the seers' favor.May we be among those who delight you with soma, with food for you, chariot-borne one.

10.148.4 These prayers I have spoken for you, Indra: give men the strength of men, hero.Be united in purpose with those you love; guard both your singers and the silent.

10.148.5 Hear my call, heroic Indra Prithya, and the songs of Vainya.When the waves of speech flow like rivers into your place rich with ghee, they stir you.

Hymn 10.149 — Seer: Archan Hairanyastupa. Deity: Savitar. Meter: Trishtubh.

10.149.1 Savitar secured the earth with fastenings and firmed heaven without a prop.Savitar milked the roaring midair like a horse and bound the ocean fast.

10.149.2 Where the ocean roared, held firm, Savitar, child of the waters, knows its place.From there the atmosphere rose, and from there heaven and earth spread apart.

10.149.3 After this another sacred being came forth from the realm of the immortal.The bright-winged bird of Savitar was born first, following his ordinance.

10.149.4 As cows approach the herd, a fighter his horses, a calling mother her nursing calf,as a husband draws near his wife, may Savitar, holder of heaven, desired by all, come to us.

10.149.5 Savitar, as Hairanyastupa Angirasa called you for this prize,so I praise you and call for help, watching eagerly as for a drop of soma.

10.150.2 Come near, taking pleasure in this sacrifice, in this song.We mortals kindle and call you; we call you for mercy.

10.150.3 I praise you in thought, knower of births, whom all desire.Agni, bring us the gods of beloved ordinances, for mercy, of beloved ordinances.

10.150.4 Divine Agni became the gods' priest; human seers kindled Agni.I call Agni to win great wealth, compassionate one, to win wealth.

10.150.5 Agni helped Atri, Bharadvaja, Gavishthira, us, Kanva and Trasadasyu in battle.Vasishtha calls on Agni the priest for mercy, the priest.

Hymn 10.151 — Seer: Shraddha Kamayani. Deity: Faith. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.151.1 Through faith the fire is kindled; through faith the oblation is offered.At Bhaga's summit we proclaim faith with our words.

10.151.2 Faith, make the giver dear; Faith, make the one who wishes to give dear.Dear among generous worshipers, make what I have spoken come true.

10.151.3 As the gods placed faith among the mighty demons,so among generous worshipers make our words come true.

10.151.4 The gods, the worshipers guarded by Vayu, honor faith.With faith in the heart's intention, a man wins wealth through faith.

10.151.5 We call on faith in the morning, on faith through midday,on faith at sunset: Faith, fill us with faith here.

Hymn 10.152 — Seer: Shasa Bharadvaja. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh.

10.152.1 Great as he is, Shasa, devourer of enemies, is wondrous;no friend of his is killed or ever overcome.

10.152.2 Let mighty Indra, lord of peoples, giver of safety, slayer of Vritra, master who crushes foes,go before us, soma-drinker, maker of fearlessness.

10.152.3 Strike down demons and enemies; smash Vritra's jaws.Break the anger of our attacking foe, Indra, Vritra-slayer.

10.152.4 Strike down our foes, Indra; bring the fighter low.Send the one who attacks us to the deepest darkness.

10.152.5 Drive away the hostile mind, Indra, and the blow of one who seeks to conquer.Give shelter from his anger, broadening our space; turn his blow aside.

Hymn 10.153 — Seers: the divine mothers of Indra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri.

10.153.1 Active ones, intent on work, attend the newborn Indra,partaking of great heroic strength.

10.153.2 Indra, you were born from strength, from powerful might;bull, you are truly a bull.

10.153.3 Indra, you are Vritra's slayer; you crossed the midairand held heaven high with your power.

10.155.2 Go away from here, go away from there, every red embryo of poverty.Brihaspati, come charging here against want with sharp horns.

10.155.3 That timber floating beyond the Sindhu has no one aboard.Grasp it, hard-to-overcome one, and cross to the farther shore.

10.155.4 Those frogs, guardians of the marsh, that traveled eastward,Indra's foes, are all struck down, bubbling beasts.

10.155.5 They have led this cow around, and danced around the fire;they made fame among the gods. Who will dare attack them?

Hymn 10.156 — Seer: Ketu Agneya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

10.157.5 with their powers they led the sun facing forward; then they saw its vigorous native strength.

10.160.3 The one who presses soma for him with willing mind and whole heart, desiring the god,Indra does not take his cows away; he makes good, lovely praise for him.

10.160.4 It is plain who neglects him and does not press soma for him despite his wealth.The generous god leaves that man destitute; unbidden, he strikes down haters of prayer.

10.160.5 Desiring horses and cattle and prizes, we call you to come near.Adorning your new favor, Indra, we call on you for blessing.

10.165.4 What the owl says comes to nothing, and so does the dove's step at the fire.To Yama, Death, who sent this messenger, let our homage be paid.
