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 7.13 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

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.

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.

7.15.3 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.

7.15.13 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.

7.17.4 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.

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.

7.24.6 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 7.25 — 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.

Hymn 7.34 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods; Ahi (verse 16); Ahi Budhnya (verse 17). Meter: Dvipada Viraj; Trishtubh (verses 22–25).

7.34.1 Let the shining divine thought go forth from us, like a race-winning chariot well made.

7.34.2 They know the birthplace of earth and heaven, and hear the flowing waters.

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.

Hymn 7.35 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

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.

7.35.12 Peace from the lords of Truth, peace from horses and cows;peace from the skillful Ribhus with their fine hands, peace from the fathers at our calls.

7.35.13 Peace from the god Aja Ekapad, peace from Ahi Budhnya, peace from the ocean;peace from the swift Child of Waters, peace from Prishni who keeps the gods.

7.35.14 Let the Adityas, Rudras and Vasus favor this new prayer being made;let the heavenly and earthly gods hear us, those born of cows and those worthy of sacrifice.

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.

7.36.9 Let this song go to you, Maruts, and to Vishnu with his protecting draught;and let them grant life and children to the singer; always guard us with blessings.

Hymn 7.37 — Seer: Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.37.1 Let your swiftest, unharmed chariot bring you here to praise, O Ribhus and prize-winners;with threefold soma at the pressings, fair-cheeked ones, fill yourselves with greatness in rapture.

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.

7.58.3 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.

7.59.6 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.

7.60.8 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.

7.61.3 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.

7.62.3 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.

7.62.4 Heaven and Earth, Aditi, shield us, you who bore those noble and well-born ones.Let us not incur Varuna's anger, or Vayu's, or the anger of Mitra, most beloved of men.

7.62.5 Stretch forth your arms that we may live; shower our pastureland with ghee.Give us renown among the people, ever young; Mitra and Varuna, hear this call of mine.

7.66.10 Many are they, with Surya for eyes, Agni for tongue, growing through Truth;with wisdom they have ordered the three assemblies, all things with their encompassing might.

7.66.11 They apportioned autumn and month and day, the sacrifice, night and song;Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman, kings, attained inviolable dominion.

7.66.12 At sunrise today we honor with hymns what you uphold,Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman, you charioteers of Truth.

7.66.13 True to Truth, born of Truth, strengthened by Truth, fearsome haters of falsehood:may we and our patrons dwell in your favor, your safest shelter.

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.

7.76.2 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.

7.82.1 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.

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.

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.

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.

7.89.2 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.

7.94.3 Do not surrender us to evil, Indra and Agni, or to the curse;do not leave us exposed to reproach.

7.94.4 To Indra and Agni we send great homage and beautiful praise,our minds like milch cows seeking your aid.

7.96.3 May gracious Sarasvati make gracious things, unconstrained and rich in prizes;may she be praised like Jamadagni and celebrated like Vasishta.

7.96.4 Eager for wives and longing for sons, generous men,we call upon Sarasvan.

7.97.3 I honor with reverence and offerings the eldest, gracious Brahmanaspati.Let the great divine song reach Indra, king of prayer fashioned by the gods.

7.97.4 Let beloved Brihaspati, desired by all, sit in our dwelling.Let him grant the desire for wealth and heroic sons and bring us safely past harm.

7.97.5 The ancient immortals have made for us this song beloved of the immortal.Let us call Brihaspati, whose cry is pure, worthy of household worship, unconquered.

7.97.6 Ruddy, powerful horses bear Brihaspati, bearing their load together,clad in a reddish shape like the sky, where even strength has its blue-hued seat.

7.97.7 He is pure, hundred-winged, cleansing, gold-adorned, quick, winning the sun:Brihaspati, exalted, a good guest, most lavish in feast for his friends.

7.97.8 Divine Heaven and Earth, mothers of the god, have magnified Brihaspati by their greatness.Friends, let him make easy for prayer the passage and the crossing through skill and insight.

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.

7.98.5 I shall tell Indra's first deeds and the new ones the generous lord has done:he defeated ungodly magic, and then soma belonged to him alone.

7.98.6 Everything living around us that you behold with Surya's eye is yours.You alone, Indra, are lord of cattle; may we enjoy the riches you offer.

7.99.2 No one born or yet to be born, Vishnu, has reached the farthest bound of your greatness.You propped up the high vast heaven and sustained the eastern quarter of earth.

7.99.3 Rich in food, cows and good pasture for men, you two are bountiful.You spread apart Heaven and Earth for Vishnu and held the earth fast with beams.

7.99.4 You made broad space for sacrifice, giving birth to Surya, Dawn and Agni.Heroes, in battle you shattered even the magic of the Dasa Vrishashipra.

7.99.5 Indra and Vishnu, you broke down Shambara's ninety-nine fortified cities;together you killed a hundred thousand warriors of the resisting Asura Varchin.

7.99.6 This mighty thought exalts you mighty, wide-striding lords;I give you a hymn at assemblies, Vishnu; swell the food in the settlements, Indra.

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 7.103 — 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.

7.1.18 Agni, carry these best offerings without stopping to the assembly of gods.Let their fragrant gifts come back to us.

7.2.1 Accept our kindling today, Agni; shine brightly, filling the sacred smoke.Touch the summit of heaven with your flames, and spread with the sun's rays.

7.2.2 With sacrifices we will praise the greatness of the sacred Narashansa.The skillful, pure gods who shape our prayers enjoy both kinds of offerings.

7.2.3 May we always honor for the sacrifice the praiseworthy, capable divine power, the truthful messenger between earth and heaven:Agni, kindled by Manu as he was for humankind.

7.2.4 The worshipers bring the ritual grass on bent knees and spread it before Agni with reverence.Priests who pour the spotted, ghee-covered offering, prepare yourselves with the oblation.

7.2.5 Those seeking the gods have opened the doors, intending the sacrifice like people wanting a chariot.The two mothers lick their child as before, and the maidens anoint him at their gatherings.

7.2.6 May the two great heavenly women, Dawn and Night, come to us like a cow rich in milk.Often called and generous, let them sit on the ritual grass for our good at this sacrifice.

7.2.7 At human sacrifices, I think of you two wise singers as fit to worship with Agni.Raise our sacrifice when we call; win desirable things among the gods.

7.2.8 Let Bharati come with the Bharatis, Ila with gods and humans, and Sarasvati with the Sarasvatas.Let these three goddesses sit here on the ritual grass.

7.2.9 Nourish that swift offspring of ours, god Tvashtar, and give to us generously.From you is born an able, skillful hero who sets the pressing stones to work and wants the gods.

7.2.10 Tree, release the offering to the gods; Agni as preparer makes the oblation ready.As priest he sacrifices most faithfully, since he knows the gods' origins.

7.2.11 Come here, Agni, as you are kindled, sharing a chariot with Indra and the swift gods.May Aditi, mother of fine sons, sit on our ritual grass; with the offering, let the immortal gods rejoice.

Hymn 7.3 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.3.1 Together with the fires, make divine Agni your most worthy priest and messenger at the sacrifice.He lives among mortals, faithful to truth, with a burning head, fed on ghee and pure.

7.3.2 He snorts like a horse rushing at grass when he escapes his great enclosure.Then wind blows after his flame, and his path is black.

7.3.3 Your ageless flames rise as soon as you are born, strong Agni.Your red smoke goes toward heaven; as messenger, Agni, you go to the gods.

7.3.4 Your force spreads over the earth when your jaws quickly seize their food.It advances like an army sent out; with your tongue, powerful one, you reach the grain.

7.3.5 At night and at dawn people tend young Agni like a racehorse.They sharpen the guest in his place; the flame of the strong one shines when offerings are poured.

7.3.6 Your face is good to look on when you shine nearby like a golden ornament.Your force sounds like thunder from heaven; bright as the sun, you show your light.

7.3.7 May we give to you, Agni, with calls of blessing, praise, and offerings rich in ghee.With your immeasurable greatness protect us with a hundred iron forts.

7.3.8 With your defenses that no one can overcome for the giver, or with the songs by which you protect people and their men,protect us, child of strength, and our generous patrons and singers, knower of all births.

7.3.9 He comes out clean like a polished ax, shining in his own form.From his two mothers the desirable, wise, purifying one was born for worship of the gods.

7.3.10 Shine these good fortunes on us, Agni; may we also gain understanding and clear thought.May every good thing come to the praising singers; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.4 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.4.1 Bring a well-purified offering and song to Agni, the bright shining one.With knowledge he passes through all divine and human generations.

7.4.2 Let that perceptive Agni stay young, born the youngest from his mother.With clean teeth he takes hold of the trees, eating abundant food at once.

7.4.3 In this god's gathering, before his face, mortals took hold of the white flame.Agni spoke into a human dwelling and shone for Ayu in the difficult home.

7.4.4 Among those without insight, he sees clearly; among mortals immortal Agni was placed.Strong one, do not let him betray us here; may we always have your goodwill.

7.4.5 Agni settled in the place made by gods and by his skill reached the immortals.Plants, trees, and earth bear him in their womb as the supporter of all.

7.4.6 Agni commands abundant immortal life, and the gift of wealth and strong sons.Powerful one, may we not sit around you without sons, without ability or without helpers.

7.4.7 May we be masters of lasting wealth, of the stranger's treasure to be shared.Agni, no one born elsewhere is left; do not turn us onto the path of someone without understanding.

7.4.8 A stranger is not easy to seize or to think of as one's own.Yet he comes back to his home: may the new winner of prizes come to us, overcoming enemies.

7.4.9 Protect us from whoever attacks, Agni, and from disgrace, strong one.Let your path unite with the smokeless way; let desired wealth come together in thousands.

7.4.10 Shine these good fortunes on us, Agni; may we also gain understanding and clear thought.May every good thing come to the praising singers; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.5 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.5.1 Offer a song to mighty Agni, the messenger of heaven and earth.Among all immortals, Vaishvanara grew with those who kept watch.

7.5.2 Agni was placed on the back of heaven and on earth, leader of rivers and bull of settled peoples.Growing through the chosen offering, Vaishvanara shines over human tribes.

7.5.3 In fear of you the dark tribes went away, leaving their meals uneaten.Vaishvanara, you blazed for Puru as you broke their forts, Agni.

7.5.4 Earth and heaven in their threefold structure follow your ordinance, Agni Vaishvanara.You spread light across both worlds, burning with a flame that never stops.

7.5.5 Longing songs flow to you, Agni, swift and filled with ghee:To the lord of peoples, leader of riches, Vaishvanara, sign of dawns and days.

7.5.6 The Vasus placed divine power in you and welcomed your purpose, mighty friend.You drove the Dasyus from their homes, Agni, bringing broad daylight to the Arya.

7.5.7 Born in the highest heaven, you immediately guard the paths like wind.You roar over the worlds you bring forth, knower of all births, giving to the child.

7.5.8 Send us that bright nourishment, Agni Vaishvanara, knower of all births.With it you make the giver's reward grow, widely desired one, and his far-reaching fame.

7.5.9 Give us abundant wealth and a prize worthy of praise for our generous people, Agni.Vaishvanara, give us great shelter in agreement with the Rudras and Vasus.

Hymn 7.6 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.6.1 I speak the praise of the sovereign, powerful lord of peoples, whom we should celebrate.Like Indra's deeds of strength, I proclaim his deeds as I honor the wood.

7.6.2 They urge on the wise sign, the shining holder of the mountain, toward the good rule of earth and heaven.With songs I call to Agni who breaks forts, and to his great ancient laws.

7.6.3 Agni scattered the Panis, who lack wisdom, bind things up, speak harshly, have no faith, do not thrive, and make no sacrifice.He drove those Dasyus onward and made the later ones as unfit for sacrifice as the first.

7.6.4 With his powers he turned those rejoicing in western darkness toward the east.I praise Agni, lord of wealth, who never bows and subdues those who fight him.

7.6.5 He bent the walls with weapons and made the dawns wives of the Arya.Young Agni held the Nahusha people in check and made the tribes bring tribute by his strength.

7.6.6 Under his protection all peoples have stood, seeking his favor with their ways.Vaishvanara Agni sat in the lap of his parents, in the highest place of earth and heaven.

7.6.7 The god Vaishvanara took the treasures of the deep at the sun's rising.Agni took them from the nearer and farther sea, from heaven and from earth.

Hymn 7.7 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.7.1 I drive divine, powerful Agni with praise like a horse ready to race.Be the knowing messenger of our sacrifice, finding your own way among the gods.

7.7.2 Come on your own paths, Agni, gladly accepting friendship with the gods.Roar with your powers on earth's heights and consume all the trees with your jaws.

7.7.3 The sacrifice faces east; the ritual grass has been carefully laid; praised Agni delights us like a priest.Call your two mothers, desired by all, from whom you were born, youngest and kindly one.

7.7.4 At once, thoughtful humans bring forth a charioteer at the sacrifice.Agni, the pleasant, sweet-speaking, truthful lord of the clan, has been set in their house.

7.7.5 The chosen carrier arrived and took his seat, Agni the priest and supporter in the human home.Heaven and earth made him grow, and the priest offers worship to him whom all desire.

7.7.6 With their bright powers, those who shaped a prayer fit for men have overcome everything.The listening tribes have crossed forward, those who thought of my truth.

7.7.7 Now we Vasisthas ask you, Agni, child of strength and lord of treasures.Bring nourishment to the generous singers; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.8 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.8.1 The king is lit with prayers for the contest, his face anointed with offered ghee.Men in distress praise him with offerings; Agni shone before the dawns.

7.8.2 This great one has become known, Agni, the pleasant priest, strong god of humankind.Sending his beams across earth, he has grown among the plants with a black track.

7.8.3 By what good praise can we make you shine, Agni? What portion do you grant when praised?When will we be lords of generous wealth, winners of a prize that is hard to win?

7.8.4 This Agni of Bharata is heard far away, when he shines brightly like the sun.This divine guest stood with Puru in battles and shone brilliantly.

7.8.5 Many calls for offerings are with you; you have shown goodwill with all your faces.Even praised, Agni, you listen to the singer; grow by yourself in strength, well-born one.

7.8.6 May this speech rise for Agni, winning hundreds and thousands, growing on both sides.May he bring good to the singer, shining, driving out disease and killing harmful spirits.

7.8.7 Now we Vasisthas ask you, Agni, child of strength and lord of treasures.Bring nourishment to the generous singers; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.9 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.9.1 The lover of the dawns has awakened from their lap, the pleasant priest, wisest and purest.He gives a sign to both kinds of living things: offerings among gods and wealth among good people.

7.9.2 Wise Agni opened the Panis' doors, purified our hymn, and brought us much to enjoy.The pleasant priest, master of the tribes' homes, appeared across the darkness of nights.

7.9.3 Wise, unconfused, boundless and radiant, a welcome friend and kind guest to us,he shines with colorful light before the dawns; the child of the waters entered the plants.

7.9.4 In every human generation, the worthy knower of all births has shone equally.He shines beautifully with light, and the cows wake to him as he is kindled.

7.9.5 Go as messenger, Agni, without harm, to the gods with the group that makes prayers.Offer worship to Sarasvati, the Maruts, the Ashvins, the waters, and all the gods, to bring treasure.

7.9.6 Kindling you, Agni, Vasistha will destroy old age and worship for wealth and plenty.Praise us by many paths, knower of all births; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.10 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.10.1 Like dawn's lover his broad power spread; he flashed and shone and burned.The bright, pure bull shines with his light, stirring eager thoughts and waking them.

7.10.2 He shone golden at dawn, while the singers extended their sacrifice and prayer.Agni the god knows the origins; the swift, welcome messenger runs to the gods.

7.10.3 Songs and thoughts seeking the gods go toward Agni, asking for wealth.He is beautiful to see, fair-faced, helpful, carrier of offerings and messenger of humans.

7.10.4 Agni, bring Indra here with the Vasus, and great Rudra with the Rudras;Aditi, mother of all, with the Adityas, and Brihaspati with the singers, desired by all.

7.10.5 Eager peoples praise young Agni, the pleasant priest, at their sacrifices.He has charge of riches at night, an alert messenger who brings the gods to worship.

Hymn 7.11 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.11.1 You are this sacrifice's great sign; without you the immortals take no pleasure.Come with all the gods in one chariot, Agni, and sit here first as priest.

7.11.2 People with offerings always praise you as the swift messenger.For the person on whose ritual grass you sit with the gods, Agni, the days become good days.

7.11.3 Even three times in the night you have recognized treasures for the human giver within you.Like Manu, worship the gods here, Agni; be our messenger and guard us from curses.

7.11.4 Agni commands the great sacrifice and every prepared oblation.The Vasus welcome his purpose, and so the gods appointed him carrier of offerings.

7.11.5 Bring the gods here for today's offering, Agni; let those led by Indra rejoice here.Place this sacrifice among the gods in heaven; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.12 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.12.2 Agni, knower of all births, conquers all troubles by his greatness and is praised at home.May he protect us singers and our generous people from trouble and disgrace.

Hymn 7.13 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.13.1 Bring a thought and prayer to Agni, shining everywhere, maker of thoughts, killer of hostile powers.I carry an offering to Vaishvanara on the ritual grass, pleased by this guide of thoughts.

7.13.2 Burning bright when born, Agni, you filled earth and heaven with your flame.By your greatness, Vaishvanara, knower of all births, you freed the gods from curses.

7.13.3 When you were born, Agni, you surveyed the worlds, like a herdsman walking around his cattle.Vaishvanara, find a path for our prayer; always protect us with well-being.

7.15.3 May Agni, our well-known friend, protect us on every side,and keep us from distress.

7.15.4 I have made a new hymn for Agni, heaven's eagle.Perhaps he will win wealth for us.

7.15.5 His splendor is lovely to see, like the wealth of a man with brave sons,as he shines before the sacrifice.

7.15.6 May Agni accept this ritual cry and welcome our songs,the best priest and carrier of offerings.

7.15.7 We place you in our home, shining god, lord of the people,Agni, rich in heroes, who has received offerings.

7.15.8 Shine through nights and mornings; with you we have a good fire.You are rich in heroes and care for us.

7.15.9 The wise men come to you with their thoughts to win a prize;so do the thousand streams that never run dry.

7.15.10 Agni drives away harmful spirits, his flame bright and deathless.He is pure, cleansing, worthy of praise.

Hymn 7.16 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Pragatha.

7.16.1 With this reverence I call your Agni, child of strength,our beloved, most thoughtful messenger, with a good sacrifice, immortal messenger of all.

7.16.2 He harnesses his red horses that feed on everything; well offered to, he runs swiftly.He is good at prayer and sacrifice and work, a divine reward for the people.

7.16.3 The flame of this generous one rises as offerings are poured.His red smoke rises to touch heaven as people kindle Agni together.

7.16.4 We make you our most honored messenger: bring the gods here to feast.Child of strength, give us all the food mortals need and whatever we ask of you.

7.16.5 Agni, you are the master of our house and our priest at the sacrifice.You are the purifier, desired by all, watchful; worship and receive the prized offering.

7.16.6 Grant treasure to the sacrificer, wise one; you are the giver of treasure.Sharpen everyone's understanding for truth: the priest who praises well and the one who is capable.

7.16.7 May you, Agni, when well honored, love generous patrons,rich leaders of the people who share wide lands and cattle.

7.16.8 Ila, with hands full of ghee, sits each morning in their homes.Save them from deceit and blame, powerful one; give us lasting shelter, far-famed one.

7.16.9 With your pleasant tongue and knowledgeable mouth, you are an excellent carrier.Agni, bring wealth to our generous people and prepare their offerings.

7.16.10 Those who give splendid horses and rich gifts because they desire great fame:save them from distress with your protections, youngest one, and with a hundred forts.

7.16.11 The god who gives wealth wants your cup to be full.Pour it out or fill it up; then the god will carry you on.

7.16.12 The gods made him the perceptive priest of sacrifice and carrier of offerings.Agni gives treasure and strong sons to the people who honor and give to him.

Hymn 7.17 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Trishtubh.

7.17.3 Agni, accept the offering and worship the gods; make the sacrifice good, knower of all births.

7.17.4 The knower of all births will make a good sacrifice, worship the immortal gods and please them.

7.17.7 May we give to you as a god; on your way, share great treasures with us.

Hymn 7.18 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra; Sudas, son of Pijavana, in verses 22–25. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.18.1 Our ancestors and singers won every good thing through you, Indra.You have cows rich in milk and horses; you gladly win wealth for the worshiper of gods.

7.18.2 Rule over families like a king, you wise one who knows how to ward off attacks with your brilliant powers.Dress our songs with cows and horses, generous one, and strengthen us who turn to you for wealth.

7.18.3 These pleasant songs, seeking the gods and competing for you, have come to you here.Let a path for wealth come toward us; may we enjoy your favor and protection, Indra.

7.18.4 Vasistha releases prayers to you, wanting to milk you like a cow at good pasture.Everyone calls you the master of my cattle; come to us kindly, Indra.

7.18.5 Indra made the rising floods into easy crossings for Sudas.He held back Shimyu as he advanced, and made the rivers' curse useless against the new ally.

7.18.6 The Turvasha was priest, the Yakshu eager, and the Matsyas sharp in their hunger for wealth.The Bhrigus and Druhyus hastened, while one friend crossed away from another in different directions.

7.18.7 The Pakthas, Bhalanas, Alinas, Vishanins, and Shivas came.He who led the Arya gathering sent fighting men to the Tritsus to win cattle.

7.18.8 With bad plans, disturbing Aditi, they foolishly seized the Parushni River.The wise one saw through them by his greatness, and as he sought the earth he made them lie like cattle.

7.18.9 They went to the Parushni for a prize, not for nothing; not even the swift one reached the other bank.Indra subdued Sudas's easy-to-milk enemies in human battle, those harsh speakers.

7.18.10 They went like cows to grass without a keeper, toward their ally, just as they had planned.The spotted-cow warriors, sent out with spotted horses, and the Rantayas made haste.

7.18.11 For glory the king brought down one and twenty people of the two Vaikarnas.Like a wonder-worker laying out the ritual grass, brave Indra opened a way for them.

7.18.12 Then the one armed with a mace (the thunderbolt) forced the famed old Kavasha into the waters, and afterward the Druhyu.Here those who chose friendship with you, sought your help, and rejoiced with you chose a friend.

7.18.13 At once Indra broke their seven well-built forts by force.He shared a home with the Tritsu of Anu; may we win against harsh-speaking Puru at the gathering.

7.18.14 The cattle-seeking Anus and Druhyus lay dead: sixty hundreds and six thousand.Sixty warriors and six more fell; all these deeds were Indra's feats of strength.

7.18.15 With Indra, these Tritsus rushed downward like released waters.Their unfriendly enemies miscalculated and left all their food to Sudas.

7.18.16 He drove away the boastful, Indra-less force of the warrior, a drinker of cooked offerings, across the ground.Indra met anger with anger, turning onto the path he had taken.

7.18.17 Even with a weak man he made that one man conquer; he struck down even the fierce one as he fled.Indra cut the spokes off the enemy's wheel and gave all the food to Sudas.

7.18.18 Your enemies have always yielded; bring down even proud Bheda.Indra, drive your sharp mace into the mortal who commits this wrong against your singer.

7.18.19 Yamuna and the Tritsus called to Indra; in battle he took everything from Bheda.The Ajas, Shigrus, and Yakshus brought tribute, the heads of horses.

7.18.20 Neither your past favors nor your riches can be counted, Indra, any more than past or future dawns.You killed Devaka, who thought much of himself, and by yourself broke the mighty Shambara.

7.18.21 Those who came gladly from their house for you, Parashara and Vasistha of a hundred rites,never forgot your generous friendship; then good days dawned for the patrons.

7.18.22 Two hundred cows from the grandson of Devavat, and two chariots with women came from Sudas.Agni, I praise the gift of Pijavana's son and walk around the house like a priest, singing.

7.18.23 Four strong, well-equipped horses given by Pijavana's son stand before me.Sudas's bay horses, standing on earth, carry me and my offspring toward fame.

7.18.24 His fame fills the space between heaven and earth, shared out to each chief.The seven streams praise Indra, and he has sharpened a weapon against his enemy nearby.

7.18.25 Maruts, follow this Sudas like his father Divodasa.Help the sign of Pijavana's son, his strong, lasting rule that is hard to destroy.

Hymn 7.19 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.19.1 Fierce as a bull with sharp horns, he alone makes all peoples tremble.You are the guide who knows the dwelling of the man who has long refused to give, for the man who presses soma.

7.19.2 You helped Kutsa in the contest, Indra, paying close attention to him yourself.You brought down the Dasa Shushna and Kuyava for Arjuneya, teaching him.

7.19.3 Bold one, you boldly helped Vitahavya and protected Sudas with every kind of help.You helped Trasadasyu, son of Purukutsa, and Puru when winning land and killing Vritra.

7.19.4 With men, mindful of men, you kill many Vritras at the gods' feast, Indra of the bay horses.You put the Dasyus Chumuri and Dhuni to sleep for Dabhiti, easily killing them.

7.19.5 These were your powerful deeds, mace in hand: you took ninety-nine forts at once,and entered the hundredth dwelling; you killed Vritra and Namuchi too.

7.19.6 Those provisions of yours have long been for Sudas, who offers gifts and oblations.I harness your two strong bay horses, strong one; let our prayers, much-powerful one, obtain the prize.

7.19.7 Do not let us be victims of treachery or rejection in this battle, strong one with bay horses.Save us with harmless defenses; may we be dear to you among generous leaders.

7.19.8 Dear to you, generous one, may we friends rejoice as people seeking help under your shelter.Bring down Turvasha and Yadu for Atithigva, doing a deed worthy of praise.

7.19.9 Even now men reciting hymns praise you at once when you help, generous one.For our calls they separated you from ungenerous Panis; choose us as partners.

7.19.10 These hymns come from us to you, greatest of men, the one who gives rich gifts.Indra, be kind to them in the killing of Vritra, a friend and brave protector of men.

7.19.11 Now, brave Indra, grow strong in yourself, moved by our prayer and praise for your protection.Measure out prizes and shelters for us; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.20 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.20.1 Fierce, independent Indra was born for heroic deeds; the active man made waters flow when he set out to act.Young and quick to come to people's homes with help, protect us from even great wrongdoing, Indra.

7.20.2 Indra, grown strong, killed Vritra; the hero protected his singer with help.He made room for Sudas and repeatedly gave wealth to the giver.

7.20.3 A tireless fighter, quick to make the battle roar, the hero always conquers, a conqueror from birth.With his own strength Indra scattered the armies and killed every enemy.

7.20.4 You filled even both worlds with your greatness and powers, mighty Indra.Indra of the bay horses readied his mace and spoke during his rejoicing over soma.

7.20.5 A strong one gave birth to a strong one for battle; a woman bore this manly one.He advances before armies for men, a bold fighter who seeks cattle.

7.20.6 The people who serve his fearsome mind will neither fail nor be hurt.Those who honor Indra through sacrifices, born of truth and guarding truth, will live in wealth.

7.20.7 When you, Indra, taught the later man and brought the greater one's gift to the smaller one,you remained immortal, far beyond them; bring us brilliant, colorful wealth.

7.20.8 The person you love, Indra, who gives, is a friend who does not go without a share, bearer of the pressing stone.May we be foremost in your favor, under your protection, safe from killers and favored among men.

7.20.9 This hymn has called loudly to you, strong one; the singer has raised a cry to you, generous one.Your singer comes seeking wealth; you have power, mighty one, to bring us goods.

7.20.10 Give us food, Indra, to strengthen those who seek you and the generous people who exert themselves.Let your power favor the singer; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.21 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.21.1 Soma that brightens the cows has been pressed for the god; Indra declared himself in it from birth.We awaken you with sacrifices, lord of the bay horses; hear our praise amid the joy of soma.

7.21.2 They come to the sacrifice and spread the ritual grass, longing for soma at the gathering, their voices urgent.These famous, strong fighters, heard far away, are raised up as captors of wealth.

7.21.3 You made the waters flow, Indra, the many waters the serpent enclosed, brave one.At your approach all made things shake with fear, like milk in a moving chariot.

7.21.4 He entered their forces with fearsome weapons, knowing all deeds fit for a man.Joyful Indra shattered the forts; mace (the thunderbolt) in hand he struck them apart with his greatness.

7.21.5 Let no sorcerers harm us, Indra, or worshipers with false knowledge, strongest one.Confront that enemy, the hostile creature; let those who worship the phallus not approach our sacrifice.

7.21.6 Indra, your power reached across the earth; the spaces did not contain your greatness.With your own strength you killed Vritra; no enemy has reached the limit of your force in battle.

7.21.7 Even the earlier gods measured out strength for your divine power and authority.Indra shares gifts after overcoming foes; people call on Indra when prizes are won.

7.21.8 Even a singer has called on you for help, Indra, lord of abundant good fortune.You gave us help with a hundred protections; protect us from the attacking enemy.

7.21.9 May we always be your friends, Indra, growing through reverence, great conqueror.With your help may our people in battle overcome the fearful strength of attackers.

7.21.10 Give us food, Indra, to strengthen those who seek you and the generous people who exert themselves.Let your power favor the singer; always protect us with well-being.

7.22.1 Drink soma, Indra; enjoy what the stone pressed for you, lord of bay horses,well guided by the presser's arms like a horse.

7.22.2 Let that lovely drink of yours, your companion in killing Vritras, lord of bay horses,make you glad, Indra, lord of abundant goods.

7.22.3 Hear this speech of mine, generous one, the praise Vasistha sings for you.Welcome these prayers at the shared feast.

7.22.4 Hear the call of the dripping stone; recognize the inspired singer's thought.Serve us so we may come close to you.

7.22.5 I know your divine power and never neglect your vigorous songs or good praises.I always speak your name, glorious in its own right.

7.22.6 Many are your pressings among humans; many a thoughtful person calls on you.Generous one, do not stay away from us for long.

7.22.7 For you I prepare all these pressings, brave one, and make prayers to strengthen you.You are called by men everywhere.

7.22.8 Even now, when you consider your deeds, no one can reach your greatness, powerful, fearsome one,nor your heroic strength or generosity, Indra.

7.22.9 Both ancient and recent wise seers have made prayers for you, Indra.May your kind friendships be ours; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.23 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.23.1 Raise prayers for fame; Vasistha, honor Indra in the contest.He who has spread all things with strength listens to the words of one calling for him.

7.23.2 A cry born of the gods has gone up to Indra, as the gates of speech were thrown open.No one knows their lifetime among people; carry us beyond those troubles.

7.23.3 I harness a cattle-seeking chariot with the bay horses; glad prayers have come near.Indra filled both worlds with his greatness when he killed the Vritras without resistance.

7.23.4 Even the waters have swelled like milk cows; your singers reach truth, Indra.Come to us like Vayu with his teams; you distribute prizes through our thoughts.

7.23.5 Let those drinks delight you, strong Indra, generous to your singer.You alone among gods share gifts with mortals; enjoy this pressing, brave one.

7.23.6 So the Vasisthas praise strong, mace-armed Indra with songs.Praised, let him grant us cattle and brave sons; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.24 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.24.1 A seat has been made for you, Indra; come to it with your men, much-invoked one.Be our protector, make us grow, give riches, and rejoice in soma.

7.24.2 Your mind has been caught, Indra, strong on both sides; soma is pressed and sweet drinks poured out.Our fine praise brings flowing milk; this thought calls to Indra.

7.24.3 Come from heaven and earth, Indra, to this ritual grass to drink soma.Let your bay horses bring you toward the song for your mighty pleasure.

7.24.4 Come gladly with all your forms of help, bay-horsed one, welcoming our prayer.Remove obstacles with your great powers, strong-jawed Indra, and put your strong force among us.

7.24.5 This hymn is set like a draft horse in harness for the mighty, powerful one, eager to win.Indra, this song asks you for goods; place fame over us, like heaven high in the sky.

7.24.6 Fill us with what we desire, Indra; may we know your great goodwill.Make food plentiful for the generous, with brave sons; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.25 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.25.1 Bring your great help, fierce Indra, when angry armies clash.A flash flies from the warrior's arm; do not let your mind wander away.

7.25.2 Strike down enemies in their forts, Indra, mortals who mean us harm.Keep the accuser's words far away and bring us a gathering of wealth.

7.25.3 Let Sudas have a hundred of your protections, strong-jawed one, and a thousand praises and gifts.Kill the hostile mortal's weapon; put splendor and treasure with us.

7.25.4 I am like you in resolve, Indra, brave one, and in giving help like you our protector.Be our home through every day, fierce and powerful one with bay horses; do not neglect us.

7.25.5 These men go to Indra of the bay horses with god-inspired force and strength.Make the Vritras easy to kill, brave one, so we may win the prize as conquerors.

7.25.6 Fill us with what we desire, Indra; may we know your great goodwill.Make food plentiful for the generous, with brave sons; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.26 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.26.1 Unpressed soma has never pleased Indra; soma without prayer has not pleased the generous one.I make a hymn for him so he may welcome it and hear our newest words like a man.

7.26.2 In hymn after hymn soma has pleased Indra; at every feast the pressings have pleased the generous one.Hard-pressed people call him for help, like sons calling a father, sharing his skill.

7.26.3 He has done those deeds and will do others that the wise speak of at the pressings.Indra alone, common husband like the husband of wives, cleared away all my forts.

7.26.4 That is what they say, and I hear it too: Indra alone distributes gifts and carries us across.His many forms of help compete with each other; may good things dear to us stay with us.

7.26.5 Thus Vasistha praises Indra at the pressing for help to men, the bull among peoples.Bring us prizes by the thousand; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.27 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.27.2 Share whatever power is yours with your friends, generous Indra, the men who often invoke you.With your insight open firm enclosures, generous one, and reveal the reward hidden inside.

7.27.3 Indra is king of moving beings and people, of whatever varied forms exist on earth.From these he gives wealth to the giver, urging rewards here when he is praised.

7.27.4 May generous Indra now restrain a prize for us with gifts and help.His undiminished giving has increased, bringing goods to men and faithful friends.

7.27.5 Make room for us to gain wealth, Indra; let us turn your mind toward generous gifts.May we enjoy cattle, horses and chariots; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.28 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.28.1 Come near to our prayer, Indra, with knowledge; let your bay horses be harnessed toward us.All mortals call on you in many ways; hear our every wish, you who move everything.

7.28.2 Your greatness has reached our call, Indra, when you protect the seers' prayer, strong one.When you take your mace in hand, fierce one, you were born unconquered and skillful.

7.28.3 You led the people who call for your guidance together as though you were joining earth and heaven.You were born for great authority and power; you drove even the urgent one faster.

7.28.4 Give to us through these days, Indra; hostile peoples are seeking to purify themselves.When Varuna sees their untruth, may the deceiver be kept apart from us.

7.28.5 Let us speak of this generous Indra, who gives us great wealth and rewards.He most helps the one who makes prayer and sings; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.29 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.29.2 Brave master of prayer, welcome our prayer and quickly come here with your bay horses.Enjoy yourself at this pressing and listen to these prayers of ours.

7.29.3 How can songs honor you enough? When can we give you gifts, generous one?I have extended all my thoughts toward you; hear this call of mine, Indra.

7.29.4 You listened even to those earlier seers, who were human like us.So I call you now, generous one; you guide us, Indra, like a father.

7.29.5 Let us speak of this generous Indra, who gives us great wealth and rewards.He most helps the one who makes prayer and sings; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.30 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.30.1 Come to us with your strength, powerful god; increase this wealth, Indra.For great human strength, leader of men, with your fine mace, for great rule and manly power, brave one.

7.30.2 Heroes call on you, who deserve their call, as they fight to win the sunlight.You lead armies among every people; bring down the Vritras, easy killer.

7.30.3 Then good days dawned, Indra, when you set up a visible sign in battle.Agni sat down as priest, a mighty lord who called the gods here for good fortune.

7.30.4 Give those of us who praise you and give gifts, brave god Indra,the best protection; let the generous enjoy old age in their own homes.

7.30.5 Let us speak of this generous Indra, who gives us great wealth and rewards.He most helps the one who makes prayer and sings; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.31 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Gayatri, Viraj.

7.31.1 Friends, sing a pleasing song to Indra, whose horses are bay,the drinker of soma.

7.31.2 Generous one, let the hymn tell of the bright offeringwe humans have made for the one whose gifts are sure.

7.31.3 You want prizes for us, Indra, you of a hundred powers; you want cattle,and you want gold for us, rich one.

7.31.4 Longing for you, we call aloud to you, Indra, strong one.Take notice of this plea of ours, rich one.

7.31.5 Do not hand us over to an enemy's criticism or speech or to a stingy man.My understanding rests with you.

7.31.6 You are broad armor and our front-line fighter, killer of Vritra.With you beside me I can answer back.

7.31.7 You are great; even earth and heaven,which follow their own laws, bow before your power, Indra.

7.31.8 May the Maruts' accompanying voice surround you,going with you, reaching you amid the bright ones.

7.31.9 May the drops of soma rise up to you, amazing one in heaven.The peoples bow to you together.

7.31.10 Bring your thoughts to the great god who makes greatness grow; show good sense to the perceptive one.Move through the many tribes, meeting their people.

7.31.11 Wise singers compose a fine prayer for Indra, whose great presence reaches far.Thoughtful people do not break his ordinances.

7.31.12 Songs made Indra their king for good, whose anger cannot be checked, so they could overcome foes.Raise full songs to the lord of the bay horses.

Hymn 7.32 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna; possibly Shakti, son of Vasistha, in parts of verses 26–27.

7.32.1 Do not let even the singers detain you far from us.Come from a distance to feast with us, or listen here where you are.

7.32.2 For these prayer-makers sit by your pressed soma, like flies at honey.Singers longing for goods place their desire in Indra as a foot on a chariot.

7.32.3 Seeking wealth, I call the mace-handed, generous one, like a son calling his father.

7.32.4 These soma drinks mixed with curds are being pressed for Indra.Come home on your bay horses to drink them and rejoice, mace in hand.

7.32.5 He listens with attentive ears and comes for wealth; even now let him not neglect our songs.No one prevents him from giving hundreds and thousands at once when he wishes to give.

7.32.6 The hero no one can restrain grows strong with Indra's men,when he presses your deep libations and runs to you, killer of Vritra.

7.32.7 Be a shelter for generous people, generous one, when you meet arrogant enemies.Let us share the wealth of the one you strike down; bring us a secure home.

7.32.8 Press soma for Indra, the mace-bearing drinker of soma.Cook food and make offerings for help: one who gives brings joy to the giver.

7.32.9 Do not fail, soma-pressers; act skillfully and work for growing wealth.The energetic one wins, lives and thrives; gods do not favor the lazy.

7.32.10 No one could surround or stop Sudas's chariot.The man whom Indra and the Maruts protect reaches a pen rich in cattle.

7.32.11 A mortal whose protector you are, Indra, wins a prize as he pursues one.Protect our chariots; protect our men, brave one.

7.32.12 His share grows like the wealth of a winner.No enemies cheat the man protected by Indra of the bay horses; he gives skill to the soma-presser.

7.32.13 Put strong, well-formed, carefully placed prayers among the worshipers.Even many snares cannot trap the man who works for Indra.

7.32.14 Indra, what mortal with wealth like yours dares resist you?With faith in you, generous one, the runner seeks a prize on the day of trial.

7.32.15 Encourage the generous in the killing of Vritra, those who give precious goods.With your guidance, lord of bay horses, may we and our patrons cross all troubles.

7.32.16 The nearest treasure is yours, Indra, and you increase the middle one.You rule over all the farthest treasure too; no one can stop you from giving cattle.

7.32.17 You are famed as the giver of all wealth in every contest.The whole earthly world asks your name for help, much-invoked one.

7.32.18 If I, Indra, held as much power as you,I would support the singer, generous one, and give nothing toward evil.

7.32.19 I would give daily to the one who honors me, and whenever I found riches.No one dearer than you, generous one, not even a father, brings us wealth.

7.32.20 The energetic man seeks the prize with abundant thought as his companion.I bend my song toward you, much-invoked Indra, as a carpenter bends wood to make a wheel.

7.32.21 Bad praise wins no mortal wealth, and wealth never comes to one who fails.Only strong praise, generous one, brings a gift for someone like me on the day of trial.

7.32.22 We call aloud to you, brave one, like cows not yet milked:To Indra, the ruler of this moving world and the fixed world, who sees the sunlight.

7.32.23 No one like you exists in heaven or earth, has been born or will be born.Wanting horses, prizes and cattle, we call you, generous Indra.

7.32.24 Bring us that greater share, Indra, instead of the smaller.You have been rich in goods since long ago, generous one, and are called on in every contest.

7.32.25 Drive our enemies away, generous one, and make our goods secure.Protect us in the great fight and make your friends prosper.

7.32.26 Bring us understanding, Indra, as a father brings it to his children.Teach us on this journey, much-invoked one; may we live to reach the light.

7.32.27 Do not let unknown, badly planned, unkind attacks overtake us.With you, brave one, we will always cross the flowing waters.

Hymn 7.33 — Seers: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna, and the sons of Vasistha. Deities: the sons of Vasistha, Indra, and Vasistha. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.33.1 The white-clad men with their hair tied on the right encouraged me and my thoughts.I stood up and called the men from the ritual grass: “Vasisthas, come from afar to help me.”

7.33.2 They brought Indra from far away with their pressing, past the approaching, strong drinkers.Indra chose the Vasisthas over the pressed soma of Pashadyumna, son of Vayata.

7.33.3 Through them he crossed the Indus; through them he killed Bheda.Through your prayer, Vasisthas, Indra helped Sudas in the battle of ten kings.

7.33.4 People, loved through the prayers of your fathers, you will not break like an axle that cannot wear out.With a great cry in the Shakvari songs, you placed strength in Indra, Vasisthas.

7.33.5 They called for help as though reaching for heaven, chosen in the battle of ten kings.Indra heard Vasistha's praise and made a wide space for the Tritsus.

7.33.6 The Bharatas looked small, hemmed in like sticks for driving cattle.Then Vasistha became their leader, and the Tritsu tribes spread out.

7.33.7 Three powers put seed in the worlds, three Arya generations with light before them.Three hot suns accompany the dawn; the Vasisthas know them all.

7.33.8 Their growth is like the sun's light, their greatness deep as the sea,their speed like the wind's; no one else can follow your song, Vasisthas.

7.33.9 With signs in their hearts they travel toward the secret, with a thousand branches.Weaving the boundary set by Yama, the Vasisthas sat beside the Apsaras.

7.33.10 Mitra and Varuna saw you emerge from the light of lightning.That was one birth of yours, Vasistha; Agastya brought you among the tribes.

7.33.11 You are Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna, born, priest, from Urvashi's mind.The gods all received you in the lotus, a drop spilled through divine prayer.

7.33.12 Knowing the signs of both worlds, whether giving a thousand or sitting quietly,Vasistha was born from the Apsaras to weave the boundary Yama had laid out.

7.33.13 Driven by reverence, at the sacrifice they poured their seed together into a jar.From its middle Mana arose, and from it, they say, the seer Vasistha was born.

7.33.14 He bears the hymn and melody; holding the pressing stone, he speaks first.Come to him with goodwill: Vasistha will come to you, breaking through.

Hymn 7.34 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deities: the All-Gods, Ahi, Ahi Budhnya. Meter: Dvipada Viraj, Trishtubh.

7.34.4 Harness horses for him, golden-armed, armed with a mace (the thunderbolt) like Indra.

7.34.5 Go up to the sacrifice as if to a journey; send it on its way as a traveler would.

7.34.6 Send the sacrifice into battle yourselves, and give the people a brave sign.

7.34.7 From his force light rises like the sun; earth bears its burden like the ground beneath us.

7.34.8 Agni, I call the gods without deception, setting my thoughts in truth for success.

7.34.9 Put your divine thought toward us; make your words known among the gods.

7.34.10 Fearsome Varuna, with a thousand eyes, watches the courses of these rivers.

7.34.11 The king of realms and beauty of rivers has unmatched authority and gives life to all.

7.34.12 Help us among all the tribes; take the accuser's word away from us today.

7.34.13 Let the enemies' harmful lightning pass away; keep attacks far from our bodies.

7.34.14 Agni has protected us through offerings and reverence; we have placed our dearest praise with him.

7.34.15 Along with the gods make the child of the waters your friend; may he be kind to us.

7.34.16 I praise Ahi, born of water, in hymns; he sits at the riverbeds in the open spaces.

7.34.17 Let Ahi Budhnya not let us come to harm, nor let the truthful person's sacrifice fail.

7.34.18 Put fame among our men too; let proud enemies go away from our wealth.

7.34.19 Their great forces burn the enemy like the sun, with their powers.

7.34.20 When our wives come to us, let Tvashtar with capable hands give us sons.

7.34.21 Let Tvashtar accept our song, and let generous Aramati be with us.

7.34.22 Let those who bring gifts grant us wealth; let heaven and earth and Varunani hear us.May he give us good shelter with protecting goddesses; let generous Tvashtar share out riches.

7.34.23 May mountains, waters, plants that give gifts, and heaven bring us that wealth.Let earth with her trees, and both earth and heaven, gladly protect us.

7.34.24 Let both wide worlds, bright Varuna the friend of Indra,and all the powerful Maruts favor that wish; may we have wealth to support our thoughts.

7.34.25 May Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Agni, the waters, plants and trees welcome us.May we be sheltered with the Maruts; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.35 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.35.1 May Indra and Agni help us for our good; may Indra and Varuna accept offerings for our good.May Indra and Soma bring us good and safety, and Indra and Pushan help us win the prize.

7.35.2 May Bhaga, our praise, Purandhi and wealth all bring us good.May praise for well-governed truth and Aryaman, born in many places, bring us good.

7.35.3 May Dhatar and the Sustainer bring us good; may the far-reaching one bring us good through her own laws.May the vast two worlds and the mountain bring us good, and may the gods be easy to call.

7.35.4 May Agni of the bright face bring us good, and Mitra, Varuna and the Ashvins bring us good.May good people's good deeds bring us good, and may the lively wind blow toward us for our good.

7.35.5 May heaven and earth, first invoked, bring us good, and the space between them be clear to our sight.May plants and trees bring us good, and the victorious lord of the air bring us good.

7.35.6 May divine Indra with the Vasus bring us good, and honored Varuna with the Adityas.May healing Rudra with the Rudras bring us good; may Tvashtar hear us here with the goddesses.

7.35.7 May Soma and prayer bring us good, and the pressing stones and sacrifices bring us good.May the posts' measurements bring us good, and the sprouts and altar bring us good.

7.35.9 May Aditi through her ordinances and the shining Maruts bring us good.May Vishnu, Pushan, what is to come and Vayu bring us good.

7.35.10 May god Savitar protect us for our good; may the shining dawns bring us good.May Parjanya bring good to our children; may the lord of the field bring us good.

7.35.13 May the god Aja Ekapad, Ahi Budhnya and the ocean bring us good.May the child of the waters protect us and Prishni, guarded by gods, bring us good.

7.35.14 Adityas, Rudras and Vasus, welcome this new prayer being made.Let those in heaven and earth, those born of cows and those worthy of worship, hear us.

7.35.15 Let the immortal gods, worthy of worship among the worshipful, knowing truth and worshiped by Manu,give us a wide place today; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.36 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.36.1 Let the prayer come from the seat of truth; Surya has released his rays like cattle.Broad earth has spread across the heights, and Agni has made his wide face bright.

7.36.2 Mitra and Varuna, powerful lords, I make this new, fine praise for you like food.One of you guides with unbroken paths; Mitra directs people by speaking to them.

7.36.3 The flowing wind goes gladly onward; the rivers swell like cows with milk.The bull born in great heaven roared in every udder.

7.36.4 Indra, brave one, whoever harnesses your two beloved bay horses with a song seeks good chariots and nourishment.Let us turn to wise Aryaman, who checks rising anger.

7.36.5 Reverent people worship his friendship and strength in the home of truth.Praised among men, he removed opposition; this is our dearest reverence for Rudra.

7.36.6 Let Sarasvati come with the rivers, the seventh, mother of rivers, all longing for fame together.They have flowed readily, rich in milk and good streams, swelling with their own waters.

7.36.7 May those glad Maruts, winners of prizes, protect our thoughts and children.Do not look past us as your unfailing ones move; make our shared wealth increase.

7.36.8 Praise great Aramati and Pushan, like a hero at the gathering;and Bhaga, guardian of our thought, who gives prizes, and Purandhi, who gives gifts in this contest.

7.36.9 Let this praise go toward you, Maruts, and toward Vishnu, who drinks the poured offering, with your help.Give strength and children to the singer; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.37 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.37.1 Let your swift, flawless chariot bring you to our praise, prize-winning Ribhus.Strong-jawed ones, fill yourselves with the threefold soma at the pressings and rejoice in its greatness.

7.37.2 You put flawless treasure with the generous, Ribhus who see the sun.Drink together at sacrifices, strong ones, and share gifts with us through our prayers.

7.37.3 You spoke of a gift, generous one, in sharing out great and small wealth.Both your hands are full of goods, and your kind words cannot be restrained from giving.

7.37.4 Indra, famous in yourself, strong like the Ribhus, go home skillfully, winning prizes, accompanied by songs.Let us Vasisthas give to you, lord of bay horses, making prayers.

7.37.5 You win even for the giver, lord of bay horses, when you come near through our thoughts.Favor us with your helpful companionship; when will you grant us riches, Indra?

7.37.6 You seem to clothe the wise; when will you hear our words, Indra?With a home-making thought, may a strong horse carry rich food and wealth with brave sons to us.

7.37.7 Even divine Misfortune controls the man to whom good seasons bring Indra.Three kin come upon him in his old age, whom mortals make a stranger to his own home.

7.37.8 Let the gifts we praise come to us, Savitar, and riches from the mountain's giving.May our heavenly guardian always stay with us; always protect us with well-being.

7.38.1 God Savitar has risen, extending his golden support on which he rests.Now humans should invoke Bhaga, rich in goods, who shares out many treasures.

7.38.2 Rise, Savitar, and hear, golden-handed one, when truth is offered.Spread out the broad earth, and send human food to mortals.

7.38.3 May god Savitar be praised, the one whom all the Vasus honor.Let him grant us praise and reverence; let him protect our patrons with all his guards.

7.38.4 Divine Aditi praises him, pleased with the command of god Savitar.King Varuna praises him, and Mitra and Aryaman praise him in agreement.

7.38.5 May those who struggle against each other grant gifts from heaven and earth.May Ahi Budhnya hear us, and may the protecting goddess guard us with her single herd of cows.

7.38.6 Let the lord of our kin take note of this, coming for god Savitar's treasure.The strong man calls Bhaga for help; the weaker man also seeks Bhaga's treasure.

7.38.7 Let the swift horses, measured in their course and bright, bring us good at invocations and worship.May they crush the snake, wolf, and harmful spirits and keep sickness away from us as before.

7.38.8 Help us in every contest for prizes, swift ones, wise immortals who know the truth.Drink this sweet drink and rejoice; satisfied, travel on the paths to the gods.

Hymn 7.39 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.39.2 The ritual grass is spread out well for them; two lords of peoples come to the gathering.Vayu with his teams and Pushan, first called at night and dawn by the tribes, come for our well-being.

7.39.3 Gods, Vasus, take pleasure here on earth and make yourselves bright in the wide middle air.Make wide paths coming toward us; listen to this messenger of ours as he arrives.

7.56.5 May that tribe have strong heroes with the Maruts, always prevailing and growing in human strength.

7.56.18 Our priest, seated and praising your lasting gift, calls you, Maruts.The man who calls for help, your strong ward, calls to you with hymns without deceit.

7.56.19 These Maruts calm a fast man and bend a strong man's force.They protect us from a hostile word and place heavy hatred on the ungenerous.

7.56.20 These Maruts urge on even the weak and welcome even the wanderer, like kind Vasus.Strong ones, drive away darkness and give us all our children and descendants.

7.56.21 Do not make us stop receiving your gifts, Maruts; do not let us be last when the chariots share the prizes.Give us a share of desirable riches, strong ones, if your good birth has provided them.

7.56.22 When angry warriors fight among mighty tribes rich in plants,then be our Rudra-born protectors in battles with enemies, Maruts.

7.56.23 You have done many ancestral deeds, Maruts, praised in hymns since ancient times.With the Maruts the strong one wins battles, and with the Maruts a racing horse wins prizes.

7.58.2 Even your birth was fierce, Maruts: you are fearsome, quick to anger and tireless.With great force and strength they advance, and everyone who sees sunlight fears your passage.

7.58.3 Give great strength to generous people, Maruts, welcoming our good praise.As a well-traveled road helps a person pass through, carry us forward with desirable help.

7.58.4 With your help, Maruts, a wise man gains hundreds, and a strong horse thousands.With your help a king kills Vritra; let that be your gift, shakers.

7.58.5 I call those generous sons of Rudra; will the Maruts bow to us again?For the wrong done secretly or openly that has angered them, we ask the swift ones to forgive us.

7.58.6 May this good praise of generous men be spoken, and may the Maruts welcome this hymn.Strong ones, keep hatred far away; always protect us with well-being.

7.66.12 Today at sunrise we honor with hymnswhat Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman carry out, you who drive the chariot of truth.

7.66.13 Born of truth, guarding and increasing truth, they are fierce enemies of falsehood.May we and our patrons live in your best shelter and goodwill.

7.66.14 That beautiful form rises up in the sky in answer to our call,when the god's swift horse carries him for all to see.

7.66.16 That bright eye set there by the gods has risen.May we see a hundred autumns and live a hundred autumns.

7.66.17 Come with your undeceiving wisdom and brightness, Varuna,and Mitra, to drink soma.

7.76.3 Many were those days before sunrise in ancient times.Dawn passed around us like a lover, visible but never returning once she left.

7.76.4 The ancient seers who followed truth shared the feast with the gods.The fathers found the hidden light and, with true prayers, brought forth Dawn.

7.76.5 They gather in a single wide place and know each other without fighting.They do not break the gods' ordinances; unhindered, they move with the Vasus.

7.82.1 Indra and Varuna, give broad shelter to our people for the sacrifice.If someone attacks us with lasting hostility, let us defeat bad plans in battle.

7.82.2 One is called sovereign and the other self-ruling; both of you are great and rich, Indra and Varuna.All the gods in highest heaven placed strength and power in you two.

7.82.3 You broke open channels for waters with your strength and set Surya in heaven as lord.Indra and Varuna, in the joy of this miraculous drink, you filled up what was empty and nourished our thoughts.

7.82.4 You are carried into fights and battles; you give peace at the proper time.As singers we call you, Indra and Varuna, easy to invoke, lords of wealth of both kinds.

7.82.5 Indra and Varuna, you created every living thing in the world by your greatness.Mitra honors Varuna with peace, while fierce Indra goes in splendor with the Maruts.

7.82.6 Indra measures himself against the greatness of Varuna's authority, whose power is firmly his.One destroys those outside his kin; the other protects the greater number with the few.

7.82.7 No distress or misfortune or heat can trouble the mortal, Indra and Varuna,whose sacrifice you attend and enjoy; no mortal deception can reach him.

7.82.8 Come here with divine help, you two, and hear my call if you welcome me.Give us your friendship and kinship and mercy, Indra and Varuna.

7.82.9 Indra and Varuna, stand at the front for us in every fight with your people's strength.Both sides call you in rivalry when men seek to win children and descendants.

7.83.2 Where warriors gather with raised banners and anything dear is at stake in battle,where worlds that see the light are afraid, speak for us there, Indra and Varuna.

7.83.3 The shaken edges of earth met; a cry rose in heaven, Indra and Varuna.Our enemies from the peoples have come near; hear our call and come here to help.

7.83.4 Indra and Varuna, win against Bheda with irresistible weapons and protect Sudas.Hear their prayers when they call; the Tritsus' priestly invocation proved true.

7.83.5 Indra and Varuna, the enmities of hostile opponents trouble me.You both rule over wealth; protect us on the day that decides the contest.

7.83.6 Both sides invoke you in battles, Indra and Varuna, to win goods.When ten kings pressed Sudas, you helped him and the Tritsus.

7.83.7 The ten kings joined together, without sacrifice, could not defeat Sudas, Indra and Varuna.The hungry men's praise proved true; the gods answered their calls to the gods.

7.83.8 Surrounded on every side in the battle of ten kings, Sudas asked Indra and Varuna for help.There the white-robed Tritsus, wearing their hair in knots, fought with reverent, thoughtful prayers.

7.83.9 One of you kills Vritras in battle; the other always guards ordinances.We call you strong ones with fine praises; grant us shelter, Indra and Varuna.

7.83.10 Let Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman give us splendor and great, broad shelter.May we honor Aditi's unobstructed light, which strengthens truth, and god Savitar's fame.

Hymn 7.84 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deities: Indra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.84.1 I call you kings to the sacrifice with offerings and reverence, Indra and Varuna.The ghee-filled ladle, held in our arms, moves around you by itself in many forms.

7.84.2 Heaven extends your great realm; you bind it with bonds without ropes.Keep Varuna's anger away from us, and let Indra make broad room for us.

7.84.3 Make our sacrifice lovely at the gatherings and our prayers admired among patrons.Let wealth sent by the gods come near; carry us forward with desirable help.

7.84.4 Place abundant wealth among us, Indra and Varuna, rich in goods and desired by all.One, an Aditya, defeats falsehood; the other, a hero, shares immeasurable goods.

7.84.5 My song has reached Indra and Varuna, seeking help for our children and descendants.Rich in treasure, may we reach the gods' feast; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.85 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deities: Indra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.85.2 Men fight at the divine summons, where flashes fly among their banners.Indra and Varuna, kill those hostile men with arrows, driving them in different directions.

7.85.3 Even the divine waters, glorious in themselves, set Indra and Varuna in their seats as gods.One holds the scattered tribes together; the other kills Vritras no one can resist.

7.85.4 Let the priest be skillful and aware of truth, Aditya, who honors you two in strength with reverence.Let the man with offerings turn to you for help, and gain good things through his gifts.

7.85.5 My song has reached Indra and Varuna, seeking help for our children and descendants.Rich in treasure, may we reach the gods' feast; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.86 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.86.1 Wise people know the greatness of him who propped apart the vast earth and heaven.He pushed up the high, broad sky and spread the stars and earth apart.

7.86.2 I talk with myself: “When can I become close to Varuna?What offering of mine will he accept without anger? When will I see his kindness and goodwill?”

7.86.3 Wanting to see my wrongdoing, I ask about it, Varuna, and seek people who know.Even the wise all tell me the same: “Varuna is angry with you.”

7.86.4 What was my greatest offense, Varuna, that you seek to kill your friend and singer?Tell me, lord who is hard to deceive and rules by his own law, so I can hurry to you with reverence, freed of guilt.

7.86.5 Release us from the wrongs of our fathers and those we committed ourselves.King, release Vasistha as you release a thief who stole cattle or a calf from its tether.

7.86.6 It was not my own purpose, Varuna, but deception, drink, anger, dice or foolishness.A greater person leads the lesser into wrongdoing; even a dream can cause falsehood.

7.86.7 Let me serve the generous god like a servant and be free of guilt.The noble god will give understanding to the thoughtless and send a wiser person toward wealth.

7.86.8 Varuna, lord of your own law, let this hymn, close to my heart, come near to you.Let us have good at rest and on our journeys; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.87 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.87.1 Varuna opened paths for Surya and the rivers' ocean-bound floods.Like horses released in a rush, he made great courses for the days in accordance with truth.

7.87.2 The wind is your breath, roaming the air like a lively animal going to grass.Between broad earth and heaven lie all your beloved homes, Varuna.

7.87.3 Varuna's watchers, sent out around us, see both worlds clearly.Truthful, wise and thoughtful about sacrifice, they inspire our prayer.

7.87.4 Varuna told me, the intelligent one, “The cow bears three times seven names.”Knowing the hidden track, he told the later seer so he could teach the next generation.

7.87.5 Three heavens are placed inside him and three earths beneath, divided six ways.Wise king Varuna made this golden swing in heaven for beauty.

7.87.6 Varuna stood over the river like the sky, a strong white wild creature like a drop of rain.Deep in thought, measuring the air, the true king has rule that carries us across.

7.87.7 May we be without guilt before Varuna, who forgives even one who has committed wrong.May we prosper by following Aditi's ordinances; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.88 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.88.1 Vasistha, purify your finest thought and offer it to generous Varuna.He will bring the great, strong giver of thousands here to be worshiped.

7.88.2 Then, as I reached his presence, I thought of the face of Agni and Varuna.As the guardian took the sun-bright drink from the stone, he brought his form before my eyes.

7.88.3 When Varuna and I mounted the boat and drove into the middle of the sea,when we moved over the crests of the waters, we swung together on the swing for pleasure.

7.88.4 Varuna put Vasistha on the boat and made him a seer through his powerful good works.The wise one made him a singer on the best of days, days extended by heavens and dawns.

7.88.5 Where has our friendship gone? Once we walked together without harm.Varuna, lord of your own law, I went into your vast house of a thousand doors.

7.88.6 Your constant dear friend, Varuna, has committed wrongs against you.Do not let us bear the punishment of sinners, worthy one; grant protection to the singer.

7.88.7 As we live in these lasting settlements, release your snare from us, Varuna.May we win help in Aditi's lap; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.89 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Gayatri, Jagati.

7.89.2 When I move trembling like an inflated skin, powerful one,have mercy, good ruler, have mercy.

7.89.3 Through a lack of understanding I have gone against what is right, pure one.Have mercy, good ruler, have mercy.

7.89.4 Though standing amid waters, thirst has found your singer.Have mercy, good ruler, have mercy.

7.89.5 Whatever wrong we humans do against divine beings, Varuna,or whatever ordinance of yours we unknowingly break, do not harm us for that offense, god.

7.95.1 Sarasvati flows onward with her current, nourishing us, a secure fort of iron.She drives past all the other waters in her greatness, traveling like a chariot.

7.97.2 We seek divine aid; may Brihaspati, our great friend, come to us.May we be without guilt before the generous one who, like a father, gives us gifts from far away.

7.97.3 I praise the eldest, kindly lord of prayer with reverence and offerings.Let a great divine song attend Indra, king of prayer made by gods.

7.97.4 Let beloved Brihaspati, desired by all, sit here in our home.Let him give abundant wealth and brave sons and carry us safely beyond dangers.

7.97.5 Ancient immortals have placed with us this hymn accepted by the immortal one.Let us call on Brihaspati, whose cry is pure, worthy of household sacrifice and unstoppable.

7.97.6 Strong red horses carry powerful Brihaspati.They wear red like the sky, though his company is dark blue.

7.97.7 He is pure, with a hundred wings, cleansing, golden-tinged, swift and bringing sunlight.Brihaspati, grand lord of a good home, gives many blessings to friends.

Hymn 7.98 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra, and Indra with Brihaspati. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.98.1 Priests, pour the red, milked drop for the bull of peoples.Indra goes each day to the drinking vessel at the altar, seeking pressed soma.

7.98.3 At birth you drank soma for strength, and your mother told of your greatness.Indra, you spread through the broad middle air and made room for the gods through battle.

7.98.4 If we fight mighty men full of pride and face men striking with their arms,or if you fight beside our men, Indra, let us win that famous battle with you.

7.98.5 I tell of Indra's earliest deeds and the new ones the generous one has done.He overcame the tricks of the godless, and then the soma was his alone.

7.98.6 Everything you see with the sun's eye belongs to you, including all cattle around us.You alone are the lord of cows, Indra; let us enjoy the goods you offer.

Hymn 7.99 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deities: Vishnu, Indra and Vishnu. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.99.1 Growing beyond all measure in your body, your greatness cannot be reached.We know both earthly spaces of yours, Vishnu, but you alone know the highest.

7.99.2 No one living or ever born, divine Vishnu, has reached the far limit of your greatness.You propped up the high, broad sky and supported the eastern edge of earth.

7.99.3 You two brought fertile pasture and cows rich in milk for humanity.Vishnu, you spread earth and heaven apart and supported the earth all around with your beams.

7.99.4 You made a broad space for sacrifice, bringing forth Surya, Dawn and Agni.Together you killed the tricks of the Dasa Vrishashipra in the battles.

7.99.5 Indra and Vishnu, you broke Shambara's ninety-nine strong forts.Together you killed a hundred and a thousand warriors of the resisting Asura Varchin.

7.99.6 This great thought increases you two great, powerful gods of wide steps.Vishnu, I offer you a hymn at gatherings; Indra, make our food plentiful in battle.

7.99.7 I make the ritual call to you, Vishnu; welcome my offering, you who enter with rays.Let my fine praises and songs make you grow; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.100 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.100.1 A mortal wins gifts when he gives to Vishnu, whose fame extends far.He sacrifices with an undivided mind and honors such a great lord of men.

7.100.3 This god in his greatness stepped three times across the earth of a hundred splendors.Let Vishnu be stronger than the strong; the name of this ancient one is powerful.

7.100.4 Vishnu stepped across the earth, giving its fields to humankind.His worshipers live in firm homes; he made a spacious dwelling for a well-born people.

7.100.5 Today I praise that name of yours, the one entered by rays, knowing your ways.I praise you, most powerful of the powerful, living on the far side of this space.

7.100.6 Why has this name of yours been questioned, Vishnu, when I proclaim, “I am the one entered by rays”?Do not hide this form from us, the different form you took in the battle.

7.100.7 I make the ritual call to you, Vishnu; welcome my offering, you who enter with rays.Let my fine praises and songs make you grow; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.101 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna, or Kumara, son of Agni. Deity: Parjanya. Meter: Trishtubh.

7.101.1 Speak the three words that lead to light and milk this udder full of sweetness.As he makes the calf, the embryo of plants, the newly born bull roars.

7.101.2 He makes plants and waters grow, and rules as god over the entire moving world.Let him grant threefold refuge and shelter, and threefold light by his favor.

7.101.3 One becomes barren and one gives birth because of you; he takes whatever shape he wants.The mother receives the father's milk, and with it both father and son grow.

7.101.4 All worlds rest in him, the three heavens and the waters flowing in three ways.Three vessels for pouring drip sweetness around the mighty one.

7.101.5 Let these words for self-ruling Parjanya be welcome in his heart.Let joy-giving rains come to us, and plants rich in fruit, guarded by gods.

7.101.6 He is the bull that places seed in countless creatures; the life of things moving and fixed rests in him.Let this truth guard me for a hundred autumns; always protect us with well-being.

Hymn 7.102 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna, or Kumara, son of Agni. Deity: Parjanya. Meter: Gayatri.

7.102.1 Sing for Parjanya, generous son of heaven.May he provide grass for us.

7.102.2 Parjanya puts embryos into plants,cows, mares and women.

7.102.3 Pour the sweetest offering into his mouth.Let him prepare food for us.

Hymn 7.103 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the frogs and Parjanya. Meter: Trishtubh, Anushtubh.

7.103.1 The frogs had lain still for a year, like priests keeping a vow.Now they have spoken with voices awakened by Parjanya.

7.103.2 When heavenly waters came to the frog lying in the pond, dry as a leather bag,the frogs' voices joined like the lowing of cows with calves.

7.103.3 When rain fell on them as they thirsted at the arrival of the wet season,one went up talking to another like a son saying “Father!”

7.103.4 Each calls to the other as they rejoice at the waters' release.Rained on, the spotted frog croaks, joining its voice with the green one's.

7.103.5 One copies another's voice like a student copying a teacher.Every part of their bodies seems to respond when they speak so clearly amid the waters.

7.103.6 One lows like a cow, another bleats like a goat; one is spotted and another green.Though alike in name, they differ in form and color their voices in many ways as they speak.

7.103.7 Like priests speaking around a full vessel at an overnight soma rite,you frogs celebrate the day of the year when the rainy season arrives.

7.103.8 Like priests at the soma pressing, they raise their voices and make a year-end prayer.Like sweating priests heating the ritual vessel, they emerge from hiding.

7.103.9 They have kept the god-given order of twelve months; they do not break the season.When the rainy season comes after the year, the heated vessels are released.

7.103.10 The cow-voiced frog, goat-voiced frog, spotted and green frogs have given us goods.The frogs who give hundreds of cows extend our lives at the thousandfold pressing.

Hymn 7.104 — Seer: Vasistha, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deities: Indra and Soma, Indra, Soma, Agni, the gods, the pressing stones, the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh, Jagati, Anushtubh.

7.104.1 Indra and Soma, burn the harmful spirit and crush him; strong ones, cast down those who thrive in darkness.Tear apart the senseless, burn them, strike and drive away the devourers, sharpening yourselves against them.

7.104.2 Indra and Soma, attack the evil speaker and sinner like a hot pan over fire.Put unending hatred on the enemy of prayer, the flesh-eater with terrible eyes who asks, “What is this?”

7.104.3 Indra and Soma, throw evildoers into the pit, into unsupported darkness.Let not one rise from there again; let your anger, strength and force fall on them.

7.104.4 Indra and Soma, turn heaven's weapon and earth's crushing force against the evil speaker.Sharpen the heavenly one from the mountains to crush the growing harmful spirit.

7.104.5 Indra and Soma, send down the stones heated by fire from heaven upon the devourers.With hot, ageless weapons pierce their insides; let them sink down.

7.104.6 Indra and Soma, let this thought surround you on all sides like a horse's girth in a contest.I send you this offering for wisdom; receive these prayers like lords of men.

7.104.7 Remember your swift advances and kill the treacherous, destructive harmful spirits.Indra and Soma, do not let the evildoer who ever attacks us with deceit get away easily.

7.104.8 Whoever accuses me with false words though I live with an innocent mind,let the speaker of what is not be caught like water in a cupped hand, Indra.

7.104.9 Those who lead the innocent into wrongdoing or spoil what is good through their own laws,let Soma hand them over to the snake or put them in Misfortune's lap.

7.104.10 Agni, whoever wants to steal our food, horses, cattle or lives,let that thieving enemy fall low and fail in body and descendants.

7.104.11 Let him and his descendants go away, down below all three earths.Gods, let the fame of whoever attacks us by day or night dry up.

7.104.12 Truthful and false words compete; a wise person can easily distinguish them.Soma protects what is true and more honest of the two, and destroys the false.

7.104.13 Soma does not help a wicked person or a ruler who upholds falsehood.He kills the harmful spirit and the false speaker; both lie in Indra's snare.

7.104.14 If I worship false gods or wrongly accuse the gods, Agni,why are you angry with us, knower of all births? Let deceitful speakers follow ruin.

7.104.15 Let me die today if I am a sorcerer or have burned the life out of a man.But let the one who falsely calls me a sorcerer be parted from ten brave men.

7.104.16 Whoever calls me a sorcerer when I am not, or, though a harmful spirit, says “I am pure,”let Indra kill him with a great weapon and let him sink beneath all living creatures.

7.104.17 She goes by night like an owl, hiding her body in deceit.Let her fall into endless pits; let the pressing stones crush the harmful spirits with their noise.

7.104.18 Spread out, Maruts, search among the tribes, seize the harmful spirits and crush them.They fly by night in the form of birds or have placed a trap at the gods' sacrifice.

7.104.19 Send down a stone from heaven, Indra, and sharpen it with soma, generous one.From east, west, south and north, strike the harmful spirits with the mountain.

7.104.20 There they fly, the dog-like sorcerers, seeking to harm Indra who cannot be harmed.Mighty Indra sharpens his weapon against the slanderers; now let him throw lightning at those who practice magic.

7.104.21 Indra has become the destroyer of sorcerers and meets those who steal offerings.Like an ax cutting through a forest, mighty Indra comes to break the harmful spirits like clay pots.

7.104.22 Kill the owl sorcerer and the little owl sorcerer, the dog sorcerer and the cuckoo sorcerer.Kill the eagle sorcerer and the vulture sorcerer; crush the harmful spirit like a stone, Indra.

7.104.23 Let no magical harmful spirit reach us; drive away that pair who ask, “What is this?”Let earth guard us from earthly distress and the middle air guard us from heavenly distress.

7.104.24 Indra, kill the male sorcerer and the woman who attacks with magic.Let the crooked-necked worshipers of foolish gods perish; let them never see your sun rising.

7.104.25 Look around, look everywhere; Indra and Soma, stay awake.Throw a weapon at harmful spirits and lightning at those who practice magic.
