1.8.1

एन्द्र॑ सान॒सिं र॒यिं स॒जित्वा॑नं सदा॒सह॑म् ।
वर्षि॑ष्ठमू॒तये॑ भर ॥

O Indra, bring here wealth rich in spoils, victorious, always overcoming foes, and most bountiful, for our protection.

नि येन॑ मुष्टिह॒त्यया॒ नि वृ॒त्रा रु॒णधा॑महै ।
त्वोता॑सो॒ न्यर्व॑ता ॥

With that fist-smiting by which we may strike down the serpents, and aided by you, may we strike them down with the horse as well.

इन्द्र॒ त्वोता॑स॒ आ व॒यं वज्रं॑ घ॒ना द॑दीमहि ।
जये॑म॒ सं यु॒धि स्पृधः॑ ॥

O Indra, supported by you, may we take hold of the thunderbolt and the solid weapons, and may we win over our rivals in battle.

व॒यं शूरे॑भि॒रस्तृ॑भि॒रिन्द्र॒ त्वया॑ यु॒जा व॒यम् ।
सा॒स॒ह्याम॑ पृतन्य॒तः ॥

With heroes and with unbreakable companions, O Indra, with you as our yoke-mate, may we overcome those who desire battle against us.

म॒हाँ इन्द्रः॑ प॒रश्च॒ नु म॑हि॒त्वम॑स्तु व॒ज्रिणे॑ ।
द्यौर्न प्र॑थि॒ना शवः॑ ॥

Great is Indra, and greater still; let majesty be for the wielder of the thunderbolt, and let his strength spread like the vast sky in its breadth.

स॒मो॒हे वा॒ य आश॑त॒ नर॑स्तो॒कस्य॒ सनि॑तौ ।
विप्रा॑सो वा धिया॒यवः॑ ॥

Men who have come to the assembly, or in the gaining of offspring, or inspired seers, moved by thought.

यः कु॒क्षिः सो॑म॒पात॑मः समु॒द्र इ॑व॒ पिन्व॑ते ।
उ॒र्वीरापो॒ न का॒कुदः॑ ॥

His belly, most given to drinking soma, swells like the ocean, as broad waters (surge) from the rattling cloud.

ए॒वा ह्य॑स्य सू॒नृता॑ विर॒प्शी गोम॑ती म॒ही ।
प॒क्वा शाखा॒ न दा॒शुषे॑ ॥

Indeed, his good gifts are broad, rich in cattle, and great, like a ripe branch for the giver.

ए॒वा हि ते॒ विभू॑तय ऊ॒तय॑ इन्द्र॒ माव॑ते ।
स॒द्यश्चि॒त्सन्ति॑ दा॒शुषे॑ ॥

Indeed, Indra, your glories and protections are for one like me; truly, they are even present at once for the giver.

ए॒वा ह्य॑स्य॒ काम्या॒ स्तोम॑ उ॒क्थं च॒ शंस्या॑ ।
इन्द्रा॑य॒ सोम॑पीतये ॥

Indeed, for him his cherished praise and the recitations to be chanted are offered for Indra's drinking of soma.
