5.8.1
वैकङ्कतेनेध्मेन देवेभ्य आज्यं वह ।
अग्ने तामिह मादय सर्व आ यन्तु मे हवम् ॥ ५.८.१ ॥
O Agni, carry the clarified butter to the gods with the vaikaṅkata kindling-stick. Gladden them here with it; let all of them come to my call.
5.8.2
इन्द्रा याहि मे हवमिदं करिष्यामि तच्छृणु ।
इम ऐन्द्रा अतिसरा आकूतिं सं नमन्तु मे ।
तेभिः शकेम वीर्यं जातवेदस्तनूवशिन् ॥ ५.८.२ ॥
O Indra, come to my call; I will perform this, hear it. Let these Aindra Atisarās bow together to my purpose. With them may we obtain vigour, O Jātavedas, controlling the body.
5.8.3
यदसावमुतो देवा अदेवः संश्चिकीर्षति ।
मा तस्याग्निर्हव्यं वाक्षीद्धवं देवा अस्य मोप गुर्ममैव हवमेतन ॥ ५.८.३ ॥
O gods, if that non-god from yonder intends to act against me, may Agni not accept his oblation; O gods, may his call not reach you, but bring hither only my call.
5.8.4
अति धावतातिसरा इन्द्रस्य वचसा हत ।
अविं वृक इव मथ्नीत स वो जीवन् मा मोचि प्राणमस्यापि नह्यत ॥ ५.८.४ ॥
O Atisarās, struck down by Indra's word, flee and rush away. As a wolf seizes a sheep, may he seize you; while you live, may his breath not be released—bind his breath as well.
5.8.5
यममी पुरोदधिरे ब्रह्माणमपभूतये ।
इन्द्र स ते अधस्पदं तं प्रत्यस्यामि मृत्यवे ॥ ५.८.५ ॥
O Indra, let him whom these have placed in front, the brahmin, for destruction, be under your feet; I throw him back toward death.
5.8.6
यदि प्रेयुर्देवपुरा ब्रह्म वर्माणि चक्रिरे ।
तनूपानं परिपाणं कृण्वाना यदुपोचिरे सर्वं तदरसं कृधि ॥ ५.८.६ ॥
If they go forth with the brahma that goes before the gods and make armours, and draw near making bodily protection and complete protection—render all of that sapless.
5.8.7
यान् असावतिसरांश्चकार कृणवच्च यान् ।
त्वं तान् इन्द्र वृत्रहन् प्रतीचः पुनरा कृधि यथामुं तृणहां जनम् ॥ ५.८.७ ॥
Those roaming agents he sends and makes, those you, Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, turn back again, so that that destroying man is turned around.
5.8.8
यथेन्द्र उद्वाचनं लब्ध्वा चक्रे अधस्पदम् ।
कृण्वेऽहमधरान् तथा अमूञ्छश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्यः ॥ ५.८.८ ॥
Just as Indra, having obtained the upward-raised utterance, made a lower place, so I make those below, for ever, for many years.
5.8.9
अत्रैनान् इन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् उग्रो मर्मणि विध्य ।
अत्रैवैनान् अभि तिष्ठेन्द्र मेद्यहं तव ।
अनु त्वेन्द्रा रभामहे स्याम सुमतौ तव ॥ ५.८.९ ॥
Here, O fierce Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, pierce these in the vital spot; stand upon them right here, Indra; I am yours. Indra, we begin following you; may we be in your favour.
