1.5.1

आ त्वेता॒ नि षी॑द॒तेन्द्र॑म॒भि प्र गा॑यत ।
सखा॑य॒ स्तोम॑वाहसः ॥

Come hither, friends who bear the hymn, sit down here, and sing forth toward Indra.

पु॒रू॒तमं॑ पुरू॒णामीशा॑नं॒ वार्या॑णाम् ।
इन्द्रं॒ सोमे॒ सचा॑ सु॒ते ॥

Indra, most abundant of the many, lord of desired treasures, call together when the soma is pressed.

स घा॑ नो॒ योग॒ आ भु॑व॒त्स रा॒ये स पुरं॑ध्याम् ।
गम॒द्वाजे॑भि॒रा स नः॑ ॥

May he indeed be near us in our union, for wealth and for insight; may he come to us with the spoils.

यस्य॑ सं॒स्थे न वृ॒ण्वते॒ हरी॑ स॒मत्सु॒ शत्र॑वः ।
तस्मा॒ इन्द्रा॑य गायत ॥

Sing for that Indra, in whose contest the enemies cannot hold back his two tawny steeds.

सु॒त॒पाव्ने॑ सु॒ता इ॒मे शुच॑यो यन्ति वी॒तये॑ ।
सोमा॑सो॒ दध्या॑शिरः ॥

These pressed somas, bright, go for the drinking by the soma-drinker; the somas with curds in them.

त्वं सु॒तस्य॑ पी॒तये॑ स॒द्यो वृ॒द्धो अ॑जायथाः ।
इन्द्र॒ ज्यैष्ठ्या॑य सुक्रतो ॥

You quickly grew and were born for drinking the pressed soma; for supremacy, O Indra, O skillful one.

आ त्वा॑ विशन्त्वा॒शवः॒ सोमा॑स इन्द्र गिर्वणः ।
शं ते॑ सन्तु॒ प्रचे॑तसे ॥

Let the swift somas enter you, O Indra, O you who love the hymns; may they be pleasing to you, O wise one.

त्वां स्तोमा॑ अवीवृध॒न्त्वामु॒क्था श॑तक्रतो ।
त्वां व॑र्धन्तु नो॒ गिरः॑ ॥

Hymns have strengthened you, and sacred verses have strengthened you, O you of a hundred powers; may our songs increase you.

अक्षि॑तोतिः सनेदि॒मं वाज॒मिन्द्रः॑ सह॒स्रिण॑म् ।
यस्मि॒न्विश्वा॑नि॒ पौंस्या॑ ॥

May Indra, of unfailing protection, grant this thousandfold prize of strength, in which lie all manly deeds.

मा नो॒ मर्ता॑ अ॒भि द्रु॑हन्त॒नूना॑मिन्द्र गिर्वणः ।
ईशा॑नो यवया व॒धम् ॥

O Indra, O you who love the hymns, may mortals not harm our bodies; being sovereign, turn away the blow.
