1.51.1
अ॒भि त्यं मे॒षं पु॑रुहू॒तमृ॒ग्मिय॒मिन्द्रं॑ गी॒र्भिर्म॑दता॒ वस्वो॑ अर्ण॒वम् ।
यस्य॒ द्यावो॒ न वि॒चर॑न्ति॒ मानु॑षा भु॒जे मंहि॑ष्ठम॒भि विप्र॑मर्चत ॥
Toward that ram-like Indra, invoked by many, worthy of the verses, gladden him with songs—he is an ocean of wealth. Toward whose deeds men roam as if gazing at the heavens, praise the most exhilarating, inspired seer for enjoyment.
1.51.2
अ॒भीम॑वन्वन्त्स्वभि॒ष्टिमू॒तयो॑ अन्तरिक्ष॒प्रां तवि॑षीभि॒रावृ॑तम् ।
इन्द्रं॒ दक्षा॑स ऋ॒भवो॑ मद॒च्युतं॑ श॒तक्र॑तुं॒ जव॑नी सू॒नृतारु॑हत् ॥
Toward him gathered indeed all the helpful protections—filling the mid-air, self-protected, enveloped by their own powers. The skillful Ṛbhus mounted the exhilarating, hundred-deeded Indra upon a swift, well-born chariot.
1.51.3
त्वं गो॒त्रमङ्गि॑रोभ्योऽवृणो॒रपो॒तात्र॑ये श॒तदु॑रेषु गातु॒वित् ।
स॒सेन॑ चिद्विम॒दाया॑वहो॒ वसु॑ आ॒जावद्रिं॑ वावसा॒नस्य॑ न॒र्तय॑न् ॥
You opened the cattle-stall for the Aṅgirases, and, as the finder of pathways in a hundred fortresses, for Atri. Together with Sasa you brought wealth for Vimada, making the stone-weapon dance in the hand of the one who strives in battle.
1.51.4
त्वम॒पाम॑पि॒धाना॑वृणो॒रपाधा॑रयः॒ पर्व॑ते॒ दानु॑म॒द्वसु॑ ।
वृ॒त्रं यदि॑न्द्र॒ शव॒साव॑धी॒रहि॒मादित्सूर्यं॑ दि॒व्यारो॑हयो दृ॒शे ॥
You opened the coverings of the waters, and on the mountain you held up wealth abounding in gifts. O Indra, when with might you slew Vṛtra, the serpent, then you raised the sun up in the heaven for seeing.
1.51.5
त्वं मा॒याभि॒रप॑ मा॒यिनो॑ऽधमः स्व॒धाभि॒र्ये अधि॒ शुप्ता॒वजु॑ह्वत ।
त्वं पिप्रो॑र्नृमणः॒ प्रारु॑जः॒ पुरः॒ प्र ऋ॒जिश्वा॑नं दस्यु॒हत्ये॑ष्वाविथ ॥
By your illusions you cast down the illusion-makers, who worked with their own powers. You broke the forts of Piprū—O friend of good men—of those who offered in sleep; and in the slaying of the Dasyus you protected Ṛjiśvan.
1.51.6
त्वं कुत्सं॑ शुष्ण॒हत्ये॑ष्वावि॒थार॑न्धयोऽतिथि॒ग्वाय॒ शम्ब॑रम् ।
म॒हान्तं॑ चिदर्बु॒दं नि क्र॑मीः प॒दा स॒नादे॒व द॑स्यु॒हत्या॑य जज्ञिषे ॥
In the battles of the Śuṣṇa-slayers you protected Kutsa; for Atithigva you released Śambara (from the fortress). Even the great serpent Arbuda you trampled down with your foot; from of old you were born for the slaying of the Dasyus.
1.51.7
त्वे विश्वा॒ तवि॑षी स॒ध्र्य॑ग्घि॒ता तव॒ राधः॑ सोमपी॒थाय॑ हर्षते ।
तव॒ वज्र॑श्चिकिते बा॒ह्वोर्हि॒तो वृ॒श्चा शत्रो॒रव॒ विश्वा॑नि॒ वृष्ण्या॑ ॥
In you are all powers, and your wealth rejoices for the drinking of soma. Your thunderbolt, placed in both arms, has become manifest; strike down all the manly deeds of the enemy.
1.51.8
वि जा॑नी॒ह्यार्या॒न्ये च॒ दस्य॑वो ब॒र्हिष्म॑ते रन्धया॒ शास॑दव्र॒तान् ।
शाकी॑ भव॒ यज॑मानस्य चोदि॒ता विश्वेत्ता ते॑ सध॒मादे॑षु चाकन ॥
Distinguish between the noble ones and the enemies; subdue the lawless ones who oppose the one who spreads the sacred grass. Become the mighty impeller of the sacrificer; all those deeds are yours, which you have accomplished at the gatherings of companions.
1.51.9
अनु॑व्रताय र॒न्धय॒न्नप॑व्रताना॒भूभि॒रिन्द्रः॑ श्न॒थय॒न्नना॑भुवः ।
वृ॒द्धस्य॑ चि॒द्वर्ध॑तो॒ द्यामिन॑क्षतः॒ स्तवा॑नो व॒म्रो वि ज॑घान सं॒दिहः॑ ॥
Subduing the lawless ones for the keeper of the vow, Indra with the sons of the waters crushed the ones without the sons of the waters. Praising him who grew old yet also spread to the sky, Vamra struck down the hostile ones, crushing them apart.
1.51.10
तक्ष॒द्यत्त॑ उ॒शना॒ सह॑सा॒ सहो॒ वि रोद॑सी म॒ज्मना॑ बाधते॒ शवः॑ ।
आ त्वा॒ वात॑स्य नृमणो मनो॒युज॒ आ पूर्य॑माणमवहन्न॒भि श्रवः॑ ॥
When Uśanas, with his power, shaped power for you, you press heaven and earth apart with might and surge forward. O helper of men! The swift wind yoked to the mind carried you, being filled, forward toward fame.
1.51.11
मन्दि॑ष्ट॒ यदु॒शने॑ का॒व्ये सचाँ॒ इन्द्रो॑ व॒ङ्कू व॑ङ्कु॒तराधि॑ तिष्ठति ।
उ॒ग्रो य॒यिं निर॒पः स्रोत॑सासृज॒द्वि शुष्ण॑स्य दृंहि॒ता ऐ॑रय॒त्पुरः॑ ॥
When Indra rejoiced at Uśanas's wise poetry, he stands upon the two crooked things, and yet more crooked. The fierce Indra released the waters, moving with the stream, and shook the firm forts of Śuṣṇa, setting the citadels in motion.
1.51.12
आ स्मा॒ रथं॑ वृष॒पाणे॑षु तिष्ठसि शार्या॒तस्य॒ प्रभृ॑ता॒ येषु॒ मन्द॑से ।
इन्द्र॒ यथा॑ सु॒तसो॑मेषु चा॒कनो॑ अन॒र्वाणं॒ श्लोक॒मा रो॑हसे दि॒वि ॥
Indeed you stand upon the chariot among the bulls; in those brought forth by Śāryāta you rejoice. O Indra! As among those who press soma, having become the guardian of songs, you climb up to heaven on the unrivaled hymn.
1.51.13
अद॑दा॒ अर्भां॑ मह॒ते व॑च॒स्यवे॑ क॒क्षीव॑ते वृच॒यामि॑न्द्र सुन्व॒ते ।
मेना॑भवो वृषण॒श्वस्य॑ सुक्रतो॒ विश्वेत्ता ते॒ सव॑नेषु प्र॒वाच्या॑ ॥
Indra, you gave a calf to the great Vacasyu, and to Kakshivat, the presser of soma, you gave the cow Vṛcayā. O Indra of good purpose, you were in accord with the mind of Vṛṣaṇaśva; in all the pressings those deeds are to be proclaimed by you.
1.51.14
इन्द्रो॑ अश्रायि सु॒ध्यो॑ निरे॒के प॒ज्रेषु॒ स्तोमो॒ दुर्यो॒ न यूपः॑ ।
अ॒श्व॒युर्ग॒व्यू र॑थ॒युर्व॑सू॒युरिन्द्र॒ इद्रा॒यः क्ष॑यति प्रय॒न्ता ॥
Indra has been established in the press-hollow of the wise patron; the praise in the press-stones is like a sacrificial post, a gate-bolt. The one who desires horses, cattle, chariots, and wealth — it is Indra who controls the riches of the one who presses forward.
1.51.15
इ॒दं नमो॑ वृष॒भाय॑ स्व॒राजे॑ स॒त्यशु॑ष्माय त॒वसे॑ऽवाचि ।
अ॒स्मिन्नि॑न्द्र वृ॒जने॒ सर्व॑वीराः॒ स्मत्सू॒रिभि॒स्तव॒ शर्म॑न्त्स्याम ॥
This homage is uttered to the bull, the self-ruler, the mighty one of true strength. O Indra, in this battle, may we, together with all our heroes, be in your shelter along with the leaders.
